Lunar Legend (Game Boy Advance) Red Chest Locations FAQ version 1.1 Copyright Martin Dale-Hench 2003 (hockeyfox@ameritech.net) Last Updated: 9/01/03 ================= Table of Contents ================= I. Intro II. FAQ (please read this before you ask me questions!) III. Red Chest Locations IV. Disclaimer/Version History ======== I. Intro ======== Hi, all. I wrote this FAQ because, like you probably did, I once wondered if I ever got all of the Red Chests that I passed during the course of the game. Just in case you didn't know, you had to backtrack for a few hours if you wanted them all, which brings me yet another reason to write this FAQ: to make your life easier by saving you the trouble of frantically looking for those cleverly-hidden items and finding a crappy item that you don't even need. However, there are TONS of items that will undoubtedly make your quest far more easier. Hope you find this FAQ helpful! ======= II. FAQ ======= Q. What's so special about the Red Chests that you had to make a FAQ on it? A. Those chests are found/seen all over the opening 5-7 hours of the game, but the treasures that lies beneath those cannot be opened/attained until you know 'how to' unlock them, which comes later in the game. Therefore, after acquiring the knowledge and skill, you have to backtrack to various points of the game in order to get them all. Which is the reason why I made this FAQ: to make your back-tracking _easier_. --- Q. When will you learn how to open the chests? A. First, meet Damon in Damon's Spire on the country/continent of Marius. He will reward you with a Thief's Heart, which is the key to the admission into the Theives' Guild. Go back to Reza, the home of the Guild, and enter the bar/pub. Talk to the bartender and he will recognize your excellence in obtaining the Heart and rewards you the Guild Card. That's it. You now can open red chests! --- Q. How do you access the Damon's Spire? A. Get the Damon's Note from Meryod's restaurant, located beyond the Meryod Woods. --- Q. Is there any red chests further in the storyline (i.e., Red Dragon Cave)? A. Since you are REQUIRED to get the Guild Card anyway, it would be pointless for the developers to place Red Chests beyond Marius... Makes sense to you, doesn't it? Yet... there are a few. I won't mention them because it's like a normal chest from that point. Hell, there's one in the FINAL dungeon! --- Q. How many Red Chests are there that I might have bypassed? A. At my last count, twenty-seven (27) chests. --- Q. When should I get them? A. Whenever you have the Guild Card. IMO, the best time is to get them ASAP. Most of them will GREATLY aid your quest. --- Q. Are they worth it (the time taken to look for them)? A. Hell yes! Think it as free money and free equipment! Most of them are incredibly quick to find with the Dragon Wings! --- Q. I don't have the Dragon Wings to transport me around anymore! Help! A. *sighs* This isn't the place to ask, you know. But anyway. Go to the Thieves' Bazaar, behind the counter of Reza Bar, and find the guy who snatched the Wings away and viola! It's yours again! --- Q. I found a Red Chest that you don't have unlisted! A. Can it be found before you get the Guild Card? If so, please send an e-mail of the directions my way! Credit? Of course I will credit you! ========================= III.
