Let's keep our fingers crossed, shall we? =============================================================================== 03. Huh? What's this? (Introduction) GETIN =============================================================================== This FAQ is to help you obtain hidden items in Haunting Ground. Hidden items that don't sparkles on the screen, or items that need something to be done to reveal them, e.g. kicking a weak wall to reveal hidden item or item that can only be revealed with the help of Hewie. Most of the hidden items will require Hewie's help, so have Hewie with you all the time. Items that will NOT be in this FAQ include items inside those red and yellow pots (because they are too obvious), Special Items, Files and most of the Equipments, whether they sparkles on the screen or not. So please do not email me about items that doesn't concern with this FAQ. Also, I didn't write the walkthrough for this game, so please do not bug me if you're stuck in the game. =============================================================================== 04. Hints and Tips HITPS =============================================================================== - To ask Hewie to search for hidden items, press up on the right analog stick when you are not being chase by the stalker. Make sure you are facing the direction that you want Hewie to search at. Remember to praise Hewie after it reveals a hidden item. - Sometimes, Hewie would search for hidden item on it's own. If it found something, remember to praise it as well. - Items that affect the percentage of item found are useable items that sparkle on the screen, hidden items (All 60 of them, stated in this FAQ), Metal Boots or its replacement (read Extra Magist Medallion for more info on replacement) and Bisque Doll. - Items that doesn't affect the percentage of item found are Special Items, Files, Equipments (except Metal Boots), Drop Items from Stalkers, items found or made in the Alchemy room and items that you can exchange from the Sublimatum Container at the Water Tower. - It is only possible to obtain 100% of item found if you play for Ending A. Even on your first play. - After defeating a stalker in a boss fight, you can locate hidden items without worries as long as you don't trigger events for new stalker to chase you around. =============================================================================== 05.

Young Lorenzo does not drop items at all. =============================================================================== 10. Sublimatum Container Item List SUBCO =============================================================================== At the Water Tower, there is a Sublimatum Container which you can transform Special Items into usable items and equipment. However, these items do not count for the percentage of item found. Credits go to Mace63's for posting this interesting info in Haunting Ground's message board at GameFAQs.com. Here is a list of items that can transform into, +------------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | Special Item | Transform into | Location | +------------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | Cracked Plate-key (RE) | Refined Antimony | Castle | | Cracked Plate-key (ST) | Refined Magnesia | | | Withered Flowers | Nigred | | | Smudged Key | Rubrum Medallion | | | Castle Gate Key | Magist Medallion | | +------------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ | Film Reel | Weeping Stone | Mansion | | Jupiter Key | Album Medallion | | | Hebel's Perfume | Recreatio | | | "Cathedral Secrets" | Magna Esca | | | "Occult Philosophy" | Sylvesta Esca | | | "Wiseman's Crafts" | Bennenam Esca | | | White Godstone | Refined Magnesia | | | Red Godstone | Philosopher Earrings | | +------------------------+------------------------+------------------------+ Note: If you earned the Philosopher Earrings from fighting Daniella. You will get a Magist Medallion as a replacement when you use the Red Godstone at the Sublimatum Container. The Castle Gate Key only appears after beating the game once and you can only obtain it by using the Smudged Key. The Fresh Flowers will wither soon after you get to the Mansion, so it's impossible to bring it to the Water Tower. You can also solve the Balancing Scale puzzle by using the White Godstone. After solving the puzzle, you can still transform it into Red Godstone or choose not to do so. =============================================================================== 11. Extra Magist Medallion EXMED =============================================================================== In the regular game, there is only 1 Magist Medallion. 2 Magist Medallions, if you count the hidden item as well. But what if you can obtain 10 more Magist Medallions? Here's how you can get them. The basic idea to obtain these extra Magist Medallions is very simple. First you must obtain certain equipments from either by defeating the stalker, or made at the Alchemy room. When you already obtain these equipments, the game will replace the same equipments in the future with Magist Medallions. For example, Debilitas will drop a Ruby Choker if you defeat him a few times. But if you already obtain it before he drops one, Debilitas will give you a Magist Medallion as a replacement instead. Lorenzo will drop a Ruby Choker as well. But if you obtain it from Debilitas or somewhere else, he will drop a Magist Medallion as a replacement too. Other than replacing the equipment into Magist Medallions from the stalkers, you can do it in the background as well. For example, you can replace the Metal Boots at the Secret Chamber underneath the Castle Rest Room. Credits go to mookeylama for posting the item replacement of the metal boots in Haunting Ground's message board at GameFAQs.com. You can also replace the Philosopher Earrings from the Sublimatum Container at the Water Tower too. These extra Magist Medallions doesn't count towards the percentage of item found, except for the item replacement of the Metal Boots at the Castle. =============================================================================== 12.
