Let's start by saying that the game will give us 12 hidden treasures to find.

Fortunately, none of them is missingwhich means we can start looking for them comfortably even after we've completed the main plot. Inside the various chests, we will find both a large amount of game currency and some materials of various rarities: both of these elements will be indispensable for the crafting and for the development of our equipment.
