Final Fantasy V Treasure Checklist - RetroAchievements/guides GitHub Wiki
This is simply a checklist of all the treasures found throughout Final Fantasy V, along with instructions on how to find the more obscure items. These item names are derived from the GBA Script Port translation patch, so the names you see may not necessarily match what you see here. Their functions in-game will not change however.
WORLD 1 TREASURE CHECKLIST
An important thing to note is about an imprisoned werewolf in Walse Castle. Donβt let him out when he asks, or a chest in Jachol Cave will be permanently missed. If you really do want to release him, wait until you get that particular chest. Also, there will be a couple more chests listed here than what count for the achievement, either because they werenβt included for some reason or it is a special item (i.e. World Map or Toad spell).
