FAQ
Why collect treasure?
Nintendo: treasures are a great source of Sparklium, the mysterious element that powers the S.S. Shepherd. Raw materials separately help construction and Lab equipment.
How do I find treasures I missed?
Fresh Recruits: open the Radar Map with Plus (+); uncollected treasures in explored areas show as ★. Build the Treasure Gauge in the Lab so it reacts more strongly as you near treasures or castaways.
Can Oatchi help?
Yes. Fresh Recruits: Command Oatchi toward treasure (or castaways / raw materials) and ride along.
