As such, you may not copy or redistrubute this work,or claim it to be of your own writing. I'm sure you wouldn't want to anyway. This FAQ is intended for personal use only, and may not be used in any other manner, specifically, but not exclusively, to gain profit. This FAQ is intended for GAMEFAQS.COM only. Version History: Version 1.0 (07/03/2007) - First complete Version Introduction: In every battle throughout Kessen 3, Minor, Major and Decisive, there are items contained in glowing red treasure chests located on the battlefield, or sometimes hidden in Camps, Bow Towers, or enemy Generals. Every battle has at least one item, some have three or more. These items are essential for completing the Battle Scrolls data for Kessen, as some of them are one-offs, and some are just plain handy to have. The biggest problem, naturally, is finding them. Battlefields are large, and treasure chests are small, and you just never know where the hidden ones might be, like in which Bow Tower, etc. Add to this that you are trying to survive every battle, and maybe most importantly, complete it quickly to get an 'S' Rank, spending ages finding an item can get very stressful and frustrating. This guide will hopefully take you directly to every item on any battlefield, and allow you get on with your killing, and get that 'S'! Structure: The following list is comprised of the Battle Name, the item location, and the item description (except a few where I forgot to write it down). The Battles are listed in chronological order. In other words, it starts with Chapter 1, and ends with the Final Chapter. I will be using a few common terms I hope you can grasp, and compass directions that everyone should know. Every map is a box basically, so when I say "Northeast corner" I mean go to the top left of the map, as far as you can go. A LOT of items are in the map corners. When I say "Western Extreme" or "Extreme South" I mean more or less in the middle part of the South, i.e. not in the corners. When I use the word "Niche" I mean one of those little nooks, crannies or holes that litter the paths your troops use. When I say "Corridor" I mean one of the long, dead ends that many battles have. Easy. Lets go.
