Now that we have covered how to recruit all the characters available in Fire Emblem: Awakening it’s time to cover another tricky aspect of the game: treasures. Fire Emblem veterans know how hard it can be to get some treasures in the series: most of the times they’re placed in hard to reach spots and guarded by powerful units. Other times you’ll have a limited time to get these treasures since some quick ruffians will get in the way of your treasure collecting endeavors and steal the treasures before you even have a chance to get them. Getting treasures on map it’s not something that’s required to complete the game but some of the rewards are definitely going to help you in some of the harder story missions. To be able to beat the ruffians to the treasure you’ll need a sound strategy and some quick moving units: while they may be getting the treasures before you, you’ll still have a chance to obtain the rewards if you manage to defeat the Ruffians. Aerial mounted units are the best moving units of the game as far as movement range is concerned; you can also use thieves to move quickly, but not as quickly as the winged units. In this guide we will be covering all the treasures available in the game: the ones in the chests are the most useful but since we’re completionists, we will be covering all of them. A game’s not completed once everything has been discovered folks!
There are two treasures chests in this map: the one on the right won’t be a problem since no ruffian will be taking its contents. Just make sure to bring a unit with the lockpicking skill or bring some keys. The chest on the left, containing a Bullion, will be opened by a Ruffian if you’re not quick enough to get in the ruffian’s way. If you don’t want to spread out your army too much, you can move all your units to intercept the ruffian so that he won’t even get a chance to get the treasure. You can also let him get the chest’s contents and kill him before he manages to escape. At the same time, if the Bullion inside the chest doesn’t interest you at all, you can also leave the ruffian be and concentrate on the battle: Gangrel is a though foe and requires a lot of focus to be defeated.
