Chapter 10 Collectibles & Secrets
Chapter 10, "The Empire," marks a significant turning point in the narrative and introduces a new, imposing environment. This chapter is filled with opportunities to uncover hidden lore and gather vital resources as Amicia and Hugo navigate the heart of the enemy's stronghold. Exploration is key, as many secrets are tucked away in guarded areas or require careful observation of the surroundings.
Feathers
- Feather 1: Early in the chapter, after infiltrating the initial outer defenses, you'll enter a courtyard area. Look for a small, less-traveled path leading off to the side, often behind some crates or barrels. The feather is usually found in a secluded corner.
- Feather 2: As you progress through the more fortified sections of the stronghold, you'll encounter areas with guard patrols. Before proceeding into a heavily guarded zone, explore the periphery. A feather might be found on a high battlement or in a small, overlooked guard post.
- Feather 3: Towards the latter half of the chapter, after a significant story event or a challenging combat encounter, you'll find yourself in a more open, yet still dangerous, area. Keep an eye on the rooftops and upper levels of buildings. A feather is often located on a precarious ledge or accessible only by a well-timed jump.
Souvenirs
- Souvenir 1: This souvenir is often found in an early section of the stronghold, perhaps in a barracks or an administrative building. Look for rooms that are slightly off the main path, possibly requiring you to sneak past a guard or two. It might be on a desk or in a small chest.
- Souvenir 2: Later in the chapter, after navigating through a more complex section of the stronghold, you might find yourself in an area with a significant environmental feature, such as a large forge or a training ground. The souvenir is typically located in a hidden alcove or a room that requires a bit of stealth to access, often near where key story elements unfold.
Herbs & Ingredients
Even within the enemy's domain, resources are available for those who seek them. Prioritize gathering:
- Reeds: Essential for crafting ammunition.
- Spices: Crucial for crafting alchemical concoctions.
- Flowers: Used in more advanced alchemical recipes.
Be particularly vigilant in areas that seem less frequented by guards or in smaller, ancillary buildings. The enemy's stronghold is designed for efficiency, but often overlooks the smaller details that can yield valuable rewards for the observant player.
