Introduction ********************************************************************** I am MysticWeirdo also known by my real name Warren Grieder. The purpose of this guide is to list the location of all of the chests required to obtain Sheena's "Treasure Hunter" title. There are a total of 270 chests scattered through the various dungeons in this game that count towards this total. One of the two Katz at the top of the wooden stairs to the right of the entrance to the Katz Island village in the northwest corner of Sylverant awards the title to Sheena after all the chests have been found. Prior to that if you talk to this Katz using Sheena as the avatar he'll tell you the percentage of the chests that you've found so far. ********************************************************************** 2.

Notes on Katz and their use in Treasure Hunting ********************************************************************** There are several Katz Exploration Shops in the various towns in the games. They offer two services that may be of use in obtaining the title. When paying for their services you can ensure that the mission is successful by giving them extra Gald, I usually use 10000 which can be easily recovered by fighting the Dragon in the Earth Temple. One is the missed items service. When successful this service will tell you how many chests you've missing in the dungeons you been to in the region that Katz shop covers. WARNING: the Katz counts are not always accurate so don't rely on them. Some examples I've observed: The Palmacosta Katz count for the Palmacosta Ranch is one greater than the actual number of chests so if they're reporting 1 missing you've found them all. The count in Flanoir is one less than it should have been after deliberately missing every chest in the Temple of Lighting and the Tethe'alla Base, so one of those dungeons in undercounted. The count in Triat is quite erratic: When running an item recovery in Triet the count dropped from 45 to 31 although only 13 chests were recovered. Picking up 1 chest in the Temple of Martel, and 6 chests in the Iselia Ranch caused the count to drop from 45 to 28. There appears to be undercount in Asgard on disk 2. The some of the Katz appear to alter their missing item coverage areas between Disk 1 and Disk 2. Listing for both disks follow. Disk 1 Areas: ============ Triet Katz: ---------- Martel Temple Iselia Forest Triet Ruins Izoold Katz: ----------- Ossa Trail Palmacosta Katz: --------------- Palmacosta Human Ranch Thoda Geyser (Need to cross the bridge into the cave first) Asgard Katz: ----------- Balacruf Mausoleum Asgard Human Ranch Luin Katz: --------- Temple of Mana Katz Island Katz: ---------------- none Hima Katz: --------- none Meltokio Katz: ------------- Fooji Mountains Meltokio Sewers Earth Temple Shadow Temple Sybak Katz ---------- none Mizuho Katz ----------- Gaoracchi Forest Altamira Katz: ------------- Toize Valley Mine Flanoir Katz ------------ Tethe'alla Base Temple of Lightning Caves of Ice (Need to enter the cave area not just the outer area) Exire Katz: ---------- none Dungeons not covered: -------------------- Sylverant Base Island Human Ranch Disk 2 Areas: ============ Triet Katz: ---------- Martel Temple Iselia Forest Triet Ruins Iselia Human Ranch Sylverant Base Izoold Katz: ----------- Island Human Ranch Asgard Katz: ----------- Thoda Geyser Balacruf Mausoleum Asgard Human Ranch Palmacosta Ranch Luin Katz: --------- Temple of Mana Katz Island Katz: ---------------- Derris-Kharlan/Vinhelm Hima Katz: --------- none Meltokio Katz: ------------- Fooji Mountains Meltokio Sewers Earth Temple Shadow Temple Sybak Katz ---------- none Mizuho Katz ----------- Gaoracchi Forest Altamira Katz: ------------- Toize Valley Mine Tower of Salvation Flanoir Katz ------------ Tethe'alla Base Temple of Lightning Caves of Ice Heimdahl Katz ------------- Ymir Forest Latheon Gorge Torent Forest Exire Katz: ---------- none Dungeons not covered: -------------------- Ossa Trail The other service offered by the Katz is item recovery. I've disproved my previous theory that a location needed to be completely destroyed for the Katz to recover items from them, they'll recover from some partially destroy locations and some chests from one location that you're still able to get to. Except for the Asgard Ranch, which the Katz will recover from on your return to Sylverant, these recovery services become available at the beginning of disk 2. Triet Katz: ---------- Triet Ruins: all chests Sylverant Base: the four chests that can be obtained in the first mission there even though you can still get to them. Izoold Katz: ------------ Palmacosta Ranch: All chests except 2 of the 3 Life Bottles and the Panacea Bottle. An Apple Gel is recovered instead of one of these. Island Human Ranch: All chests except the Varja and the Holy Staff. Asgard Katz: ----------- Thoda Geyser: All chests Asgard Ranch: All chests Luin Katz: --------- Tower of Mana: All chests except for the Lunar Guard, an Amulet is received in its place. Areas with non recoverable, permanently missable chests: 2 chests in Palmacosta Ranch cannot be recovered. 2 chests in the Island Human Ranch cannot be recovered. 1 chest in the Earth Temple All chests in the Tethe'alla Base 2 chests in the Sylverant base All chests Tower of Salvation ********************************************************************** 5.
