4 chests on Chavez B4
- Solve the floor puzzle and receive the Ark of Power. Examine each of the 4 released chests on the same B4 floor.
- Confirm Black Bastard, Magic Mirror, Speed Seed and Mystic Scent in inventory. Return to B1 to use the healing spring.
| Floor / landmark | Item to collect | When to check |
|---|---|---|
| Chavez B4 chests after the tablet puzzle | Black Bastard | Immediately after the floor puzzle |
| Chest in the same room | Magic Mirror | Before leaving the room |
| Chest in the same room | Speed Seed | Before leaving the room |
| Chest in the same room | Mystic Scent | Before leaving the room |
- Directional assignments for the 4 chests are unverified. Do not leave merely assuming they opened; confirm all 4 names in inventory.

Ships and the cat's room after the war
- After the war ends, return to the Blood Hook's 1F cells and examine 2 chests. Collect the Speed Bottle and Potion.
- Speak to the sleeping cat on Ganbos 3F. Choose 96 for the arithmetic answer and receive Mystic Musk.
| Location | Item to collect | Prerequisite |
|---|---|---|
| Blood Hook 1F: 2 prison chests | Speed Bottle / Potion | After the war ends |
| Ganbos 3F: sleeping cat | Mystic Musk | Answer the arithmetic question correctly |
- Mystic Scent and Mystic Musk are distinct names. Do not confuse these with the Chavez chest checks.
- No deadline confirming these always become unobtainable later has been established. This gives an acquisition order when returning is convenient.

Cave chests and left/right paired chests
- In the first 5-cake cave, examine the Grand Mail chest separately from the puzzle reward.
- In the slippery-floor cave, leave and re-enter through another entrance. Collect the Boomerang chest unreachable from the normal route.
- Beyond the 4 mechanisms, check left/right chests by pair. Confirm receipt of the Wisdom Seed, Frost Beads and Magic Mirror in inventory.
| Stretch / landmark | Item to collect | Action / caution |
|---|---|---|
| First 5-cake cave | Grand Mail | Chest separate from the tablet's chosen reward |
| Cave with slippery floors | Boomerang | Use another entrance after going outside |
| Beyond 4 mechanisms: paired chests | Wisdom Seed / Frost Beads / Magic Mirror | After opening one side, examine the other and confirm receipt |
- Grand Mail and Boomerang locations come from 1 source. Independent-author location comparison and hardware retesting remain unfinished.
- Outdoor Cross, Bell and Shoulder Pad locations were not individually verified this time and are excluded from this location table's count.
- Sources disagree on the chance or reproduction method for obtaining both deeper chests, so it remains unresolved. Complete room-tile maps and side-specific contents are not included.
