<Section 1: About this Checklist>
 -------------------------------

Some may remember when Gamefaqs user GenesisSaga was posting previews of a
Collectables FAQ she was working on in the Gamefaqs forums. At the time I was
watching her progress closely, waiting for the day when the FAQ would finally
be complete and posted on the site. Well, GenesisSaga never completed the FAQ,
her preview thread eventually became in-active and got archived. When it began
to seem like the FAQ was never going to be completed, I decided to take all the
information that she had posted in the forums and compile it into a usable
checklist. I've told GenesisSaga about about this checklist and eventually
managed to get her permission to submit it to Gamefaqs. JUST SO EVERYTHING IS
CLEAR, this checklist is based on GenesisSaga's work, used with her permission.

 -----------------------
<Section 2: Terms Of Use>
 -----------------------

I am not going to limit how you can use this checklist. Since it is essentially
based entirely on the work of Gamefaqs user GenesisSaga, I feel that it
wouldn't be appropriate for me to tell people how they can use the info
contained within. Use this checklist in whatever manor you want, share it,
customize it to suit your own personal tastes, etc.

 ------------------------------------
<Section 3: How To Use This Checklist>
 ------------------------------------

I've made this checklist fairly easy to use. The collectables are arranged by
the area they can be found in, with any collectables that can be found in more
than one area listed with each additional area that they appear in. The areas
are arranged in the order that I normally choose to visit them so some may feel
out of order to you.

Each collectable is proceeded by three underscore symbols and followed by the
name or names of the monsters that drop them, with the monster names in
parenthesis. Collectables that are not dropped by monsters have the location
where they can be found listed in parenthesis instead. Collectables that have
limited avaliability or need additional info are denoted with an asterisk after
the monster name/location information. The additional notes are then listed
immediately after the area list for the affected area.

As you acquire each collectable, you can check it off the list by replacing the
middle underscore with a capital "X", like the example below for instance.

___ Bad-Smelling Flank (Dropped by Bakis) {Not Yet Recieved}
_X_ Bad-Smelling Flank (Dropped by Bakis) {Recieved}

 -------------------------------
<Section 4: The Checklist Itself>
 -------------------------------

Below is the checklist in it's current state of completion. Although it isn't
one hundred percent complete yet, it is very close. I have gotten all the way to
the end of the game and defeated Avalon. There isn't much left that needs to be
done as far as identifying and verifying collectables is concerned. There are a
handful of one chance encounter monsters that I got destracted with and forgot
to note if they dropped a collectable when I originally killed them. These are
the Infernos that you can fight by lighting the candles in the Kabel Ruins as
well as the Guild Quest monsters Gorgoneon, Warmongers, and Zahatules. In
reguard to the Guild Quest monster Gauraze and Stiel, other Gamefaqs users
provided me with information on their collectables, so they are in this
checklist. Three of the four remaining Guild Quest monsters, Latulgus,
Nogartaris, and Ruglionaut I have a research gamesave that I can use to fight
them over and over again. Those three I should be able to identify their
collectables eventually. The last Guild Quest monsters, the Lava Beasts I
actually already identified their collectable in a previous research-gaming
session. The Lava Beasts, just like Gauraze and Stiel are already in the
checklist. 

In reguard to the monsters in Demiurge Tower, only two monster types remain.
They are the Wicked Crystals and the Valnoahs. The Valnoahs in particular are
proving to be a real hassle when it comes to identifying their collectable. I
have been playing the game in short one hour research sessions. I am usually
lucky if I run into just one Valnoah during a given session. Ninety-nine percent
of the time, the whole hour goes by with no Valnoahs encountered. I've probably
done dozens of these research sessions in the last few months and perhaps
encountered less than ten Valnoahs altogether overall. Not a single Valnoah that
I have defeated has dropped a collectable yet. 

Although I had to defeat the the Wicked Crystals to open the final door in the
game, I took the time to create a research save for them as well. They too I
should be able to identify the collectables of later on down the road. For those
monsters mentioned that I missed my chance to research the collectables off, I
plan to eventually start a new save file to work on them. However, if you don't
want to wait until I have completed the checklist and want to try to complete
your own personal copy, I will share some tips with you.

I have noticed some patterns when it comes to what monsters drop what
collectables. Monsters that are similiar in appearance or are direct pallet
swaps of eachother, but appear in different areas tend to share a single
collectable. As an example the "Weight Sac" collectable. It is dropped by the
Necroskels that appear in the Darakin Sewers, the Cloud Eaters that appear in
The Thunder Mine, and so far also by the Pyro Heretics that appear in Drokonia.
All three monsters are pallet swaps of each other. When you are researching the
collectble of a monster that is not yet in the checklist, note what it looks
like and see if it resembles a monster from a previous area on the list.
Chances are if that monster is similiar to a monster from an earlier area, then
it is quite likely that it drops the same collectable as it's earlier 'cousins'.

When you recieve a new collectable from a monster group that includes different
types of monsters, it may be difficult to determine exactly which monster
dropped it. In such a case note what collectable you got and what monsters you
defeated. If later you pick up another unit of that same collectable from a
monster group that only includes one type, then only that one monster type 
could be the type that had dropped the collectable in question.

If you wish to research the remaining collectables on your own, best of luck to
you and feel free to share your findings with me if you are interested. My
contact info is at the end of the checklist in "Section 7: Contact Information".

The collectables avaliable prior to the Black Sun (the first half of the game)
are listed first. Be aware that they all disappear forever once you get to the
post black sun portion of the game, so make sure you get them all before you
trigger that change over.

___ Vake Rose (Must be stolen from Stiel*)

*I suggest that you save your game before starting each Hunter's Guild Quest
since most of the monsters you have to fight during these quests are one-time
encounters. That way if you don't pick up the collectable listed for a given
monster, you can just re-load your save and do the quest again. The location
info for the Hellflame Sac and the Vake Rose were sent to me by other gamefaqs
users. The info on the Helllflame Sac came in after I had already killed
Gauraze, so that ones location is currently unconfirmed. The others I have been
able to confirm in the game myself. Provided for your reference below is a
list of what monsters can be found in each quest. Note, the list below only
includes those monsters who's collectables I have been able to ID and confirm.
I will add more quests and monsters to the list as I ID and confirm more guild
quest collectables over time.

following the path until you get to the end where you need to turn west or east.
Go east and you should come to a large block with a face carved into it. Use
Ayne to push the block into the chasm and continue on. You should come to a set
of three treasure chests. The upper-most of the three has the Old Mattock in it.

There are two monsters remaing in Demiurge Tower that I have not been able to
get a collectable out of yet. They are the Wicked Crystal and Valnoah. I've
spent dozens of hours each day over the last three to four days just fighting
to get these monsters. No luck yet and it was becomming an exercise in
frustration. I'll try again later on down the road. In the mean time, the
monsters who's collectable I have Identified are listed above. If anyone knows
what collectables these last four monsters drop, I would appreciate if they
would share the information with me.

 ----------------------------------
<Section 5: "Orphaned" Collectables>
 ----------------------------------

Below is a list of collectables that I still need to match up with their 
respective locations. I'll match them up someday. If you already know where
some of these can be found, E-mail the information to me and I'll add it to this
checklist and give you credit for the info. The items on this list came from a
list included at the back of the Prima Games Legaia 2 Strategy Guide. The guide
lists most the game's collectable, but it doesn't mention where any of them can
be found. I am not sure if the list in the guide is complete, so if you know
of any that are missing from this list, let me know. When E-mailing information
to me, please mention the name "Legaia 2" in the subject field of the E-mail.

___ Golden Crest
___ Golden Emblem
___ Red Crest

<Section 6: Credits & Thanks>
 ---------------------------

Special thanks go to the following:

Gamefaqs user "GenesisSaga". Most of the data in this checklist is based on her
work. Without the previews of her Collectables FAQ that she was posting in the
Gamefaqs forums, I would not have been able to compile this checklist. I truly
hope that GenesisSaga manages to finish her FAQ someday.

Brian Bond. Brian submitted the location of the "Old Wooden Sword" collectable.

Gamefaqs user "Death by Default". She supplied information on the locations
of several collectables.

Prima Games. The collectables listed in the previous section were researched
from a list included in the back of the strategy guide they published for
Legaia 2.
