Re: Waiting on South Figaro Cave treasures, and the Quintessential Adventurer achievement

[Jamers]

I'm trying to hit all the achievements in one go, and have a question about the treasures in South Figaro Cave. As many of you know, waiting to open the chests yield better rewards later. If opened on the first go, they yield a Phoenix Down and an Ether. If you wait until the next story event that takes you through the cave, they yield a Thunder Rod and an X-Potion. In the World of Ruin, they become a Dry Ether and a Hero Ring.

So are these considered regular old treasure chests with regard to the achievement? Can I still wait to open them until later and still have them count toward the 80% chest list just as safely as I would if I opened them during my first run through the cave, early in the game?

Thanks!

Yeah the code registers the treasure chests, not the change in treasure. So if they are recognized as chest 6, 7, and 8 in the system they will count as those values regardless of what treasure they morph into.

Open those chests in World of Ruin and it will count then. If you open them during your first trip, they still count. The only difference is the contents.

I suggest leaving them all for the World of Ruin. But if you want to OHKO Tunnel Armor, you can sacrifice the upstairs chest for the Thunder Rod when Celes/Locke travel together and break it on the boss.

For sure, leave the chest in the Moogle House for WoR. That is a Ribbon then.

I had no idea those chests contents change. Scourge of beong an FF newb I guess.

I got Quintessential in Daryls Tomb - so it's actually pretty difficult to screw up.

I did miss the collapsable Elixir at the end of the Floating Continent, so I can't get100%, but 80 is hella easy.

The Elixir you go around, not through it
