In many games in the {{FES}}, rare [[item]]s are occasionally available as '''hidden treasure'''. These items are buried and completely invisible on the map, and locating them and retrieving them is a secondary goal in a chapter. Hidden items are usually very rare and are not easily found in villages, chests, or shops around the same point in the game, and in some cases are even the only available instance of certain items in the entire game. Common hidden items include [[:Category:Offensive staves|offensive staves]], [[:Category:Permanent stat-boosting items|stat boosters]], and powerful weapons with unique effects. | In many games in the {{FES}}, rare [[item]]s are occasionally available as '''hidden treasure''' (Japanese: {{hl|隠れた財宝|Kakureta zaihō}} ''hidden treasure'').

Unlike the more common ways of obtaining free items as a reward, such as [[village]]s and [[chest]]s, hidden treasure is very infrequently present in chapters and often only appears in one map in an entire game, often a map set in a desert which has a very high number of hidden items present. The two major exceptions to this rule are {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, where | Unlike the more common ways of obtaining free items as a reward, such as [[village]]s and [[chest]]s, hidden treasure is very infrequently present in chapters and often only appears in one map in an entire game, often a map set in a desert which has a very high number of hidden items present. The two major exceptions to this rule are {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, where all chapters other than [[Rebirth (1)|Part IV, Endgame]] have hidden treasure, and {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}} and its remake, where five chapters have hidden treasure. | ||

Each piece of hidden treasure is tied to one or more specific spaces on a map which never change. The games themselves do not give any information at all on where each piece of hidden treasure is hidden, and there are no certain clues on the maps themselves. In chapters set in deserts it is common for pieces of hidden treasure to be located very close to piles of animal bones, although this is still uncertain and may sometimes be deceptive. Without the use of external guides on the games, a player will usually have to stumble upon them by accident, or spend entire chapters going through every single space on the map. | Each piece of hidden treasure is tied to one or more specific spaces on a map which never change.

In order to obtain a hidden item, a unit must select the Wait command to end their move on top of the treasure's area, but successfully getting one is a matter of luck and the player is not guaranteed to receive it immediately. When a unit waits on a hidden item's area, they have only a relatively small chance of receiving the item. The player effectively must keep waiting on the same area until they successfully receive the item. However, using [[Thief|Thieves]] and related classes usually increases or maximizes the chance of | In order to obtain a hidden item, a unit must select the Wait command to end their move on top of the treasure's area, but successfully getting one is a matter of luck and the player is not guaranteed to receive it immediately.

The player effectively must keep waiting on the same area until they successfully receive the item. However, using [[Thief|Thieves]] and related classes usually increases or maximizes the chance of successfully obtaining a hidden item; in {{title|Radiant Dawn}}, the chance of successfully receiving a hidden item is also affected by [[biorhythm]]. The main exception is {{title|New Mystery of the Emblem}}, where everybody is guaranteed to pick up hidden items on their first try. | ||
Unlike chests and villages, enemy units do not attempt to claim hidden treasure or to actively stop the player from reaching it. | Unlike chests and villages, enemy units do not attempt to claim hidden treasure or to actively stop the player from reaching it. | ||

* The character [[Stefan]] is recruited similarly to how one finds hidden items.

** In ''Path of Radiance'', if anyone other than Lethe or Mordecai is sent to Stefan's recruitment tile, he will only give the visitor his [[Vague Katti]], making it effectively a hidden treasure with a 100% find rate (Stefan has the Vague Katti in his inventory if he joins, so the player will receive it as long as they check the requisite tile). | |||
