Written by for on May 15, 2019.Finding every single treasure and hidden item in Vandal Hearts II is tricky so here's a handy guide that you can reference as you play.To obtain treasures much easier, equip at least one party member with Wings Armor along with the Unlock ability from Bowie (Knife), Searchmark from Antennae (Knife), and Blockmake from Pickax (Special) as soon as possible. Jbumi: Nice!! I may have to go back & replay this as soon as I'm done with Fell Seal now!! Btw, what did you think of Phantasy Star IV?A.J. Maciejewski (crazyaejay): I'm playing through Fell Seal, too! Actually, that's what gave me the idea to post this. I originally wrote it for GameFAQs but took it down from there so I could put it up on Video Chums.
I made it much easier to follow as well so I hope it's useful to you! If you end up using this guide when you play Vandal Hearts II then let me know if you'd like me to change anything so it could be better. And Phantasy Star IV is excellent!
I haven't finished it yet but I'm definitely enjoying it so far.scottb: I enjoyed the first Vandal Hearts game a lot but never got around to playing the second. Also never played the one released many years later, I think on the PS3, which got unfavorable reviews IIRC.
Compare current and historic Vandal Hearts prices (Playstation). Loose, Complete (CIB), and New prices updated daily. Vandal Hearts II takes place in the country of Natra and follows the story of Joshua from childhood until adulthood, focusing his progress through the civil war that tears his home country apart. The early stages of the game introduce the hero and his childhood companions and acts as a prologue to future events in the hero's adult life.
The first VH game was a good example of 'gameplay over graphics.' What I liked most about VH was the variety of objectives from one level to the next.
Really kept things fresh. A thoughtfully designed game. About a year ago, maybe two, I got into another PS1 game: Azure Dreams. I had heard so much praise about it, but never really tried it back in the day, since I didn't get into Rogue-style games until years later.
Azure Dreams is a fun time if you are down for the Rogue treatment, with all the re-starts and failures that entails. I really didn't get very far in the game, despite investing dozens of hours, but did enjoy the challenge and the experience while I tried.A.J. Maciejewski (crazyaejay): I never played Azure Dreams back in the day either and still haven't. Sounds cool, though. If I see it at my local game store, I might get it if it isn't too expensive. Vandal Hearts II is in my top 2 or 3 favourite games of all time. The fact that you move at the same time as your opponent makes it require much more strategy than the average SRPG.
I've finished it a few times without a single one of my party members perishing which I think is a huge accomplishment. I absolutely love Vandal Hearts II - it's a masterpiece, in my opinion.
