There are tons of items and secrets for you to find in the game. In this guide, we explained the locations and details of the items and secrets found in Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore.
All Secret and Items Location
As a Metroidvania style game, there are tons of items to find and sometimes it can be a pain to comb over the game trying to find what you’ve missed. This guide is to create a guide that shows where each item is located in each area along with any notes or items required to obtain it.
Terminology Clarification
Bonus Stage – This is what I’m calling the scrolls that take you to the special stages. To get credit for them you must successfully complete them. If you fail them, you have to go back out to the map then re-enter the stage and reach the bonus stage again.
Red Magic, Blue Magic, Purple Magic – When I say this I am referring to either the Sword Wave or the Smart Gun methods for breaking the barriers.
Double Jump – Double jumping requires the Griffon Boots found in Norin Swamp.
As of 2/18/2024
: this guide is incomplete and I’m posting what I have done so far. I’m expecting it to take maybe a week to have the complete guide up.
Faramore Town
Canteen
Bring the Star Earrings obtained from the Astronomer in Creece Canyon to the lady in the bar. The canteen can recover your life.
Munhum’s Rock Quest (aka More Rope)
Eventually, Munhum (the guy outside the cave entrance who gives you the rope) will move to Faramore Town. For me it happened after defeating Apatu in the Chillinax Peaks. He will ask you to collect four falling rocks of different colors from across the land by catching them with your sword. NOTE: You cannot catch the rocks until you talk to him and start the quest.
Blue Rocks – Badonc Beach
Orange Rocks – Cogwyn Caves
Gray Rocks – Chillinax Peaks
Brown Rocks – Creece Canyon
Bring these rocks to him to receive an increase to your rope capacity, 50 to 99
Candle 1
Requires double jump, red magic, and blue magic. Take the door to the higher level of the town and head right towards the red barrier. Break the barrier and enter the library. Once inside, head left and double jump over the bookshelves. Go through the door underneath Count Denny. Once outside, head right to the broken down new home of Cypress (the Wolf Man from the forest). Inside his house you’ll need to break the red, blue, and red magic barriers to get the candle.
Cypress’s Plants
After moving to Faramore Town, Cypress will ask you to find three plants to spruce up his house.
NOTE: The plants will not appear until after you’ve talked to Cypress to start the quest
- Plant 1 – Norin Swamp Griffon Boots House
Plant 2 – Badonc Beach house with Bonus Stage, Calendar Guy
Plant 3 – coming soon
Infinite Smart Gun Ammo
Complete all three of the rat man’s races. The rat man can be found by bombing the cracked wall at the far right of Faramore Town. Each race unlocks by collecting coins and unfortunately, during the making of this guide I did not catch which coin threshold unlocks each race.
- Race 1 – Durridin Forest (image coming soon)
- Race 2 – coming soon
- Race 3 – coming soon
Candle 2
Requires blue magic. Break the blue barrier on the upper floor to the left. Head into the first house. Jump up and duck walk across the chandelier.
Bonus Stage
Requires blue magic. Break the blue barrier on the upper floor and head left into the second house with the pretzel sign.
NOTE: This bonus stage is a “Collect Rubies” Stage. I highly suggest making your wallet as empty as possible when going in.

Talk to Cypress (the Wolf Man), then speak to the Mayor of Faramore who will give you a paper. Bring it back to Cypress for the Magic Lamp.
Shard
Requires candle to dispel the barrier, then defeat Klive. Boss strategies aren’t in the scope of this guide
Sword Wave
Requires blue magic. Break the blue barrier then enter the dark room. Head all the way to the right and grab the Sword Wave. This upgrade allows you to charge your sword and fire a projectile. The projectile has the same properties as the Smart Gun and can break barriers based on the type of magic you are using. In addition, this does not require ammo.

Talk to the first guy you see and he’ll give you the rope

Bonus Stage
No requirements
Shield Ring
No requirements needed. Although the Magic Lamp is highly recommended to see in the dark. Also, try not to run out of lamp oil like I did for the screenshot. It’s right near the teleportation map at the bottom of the cave. If there’s any ambiguity I can get a better image later but it’s fairly obvious.
Candle 2
Requires red magic. Break the barrier then jump down. Head through the hidden passage on the left and jump over the hazards to grab the candle.
Silver Cricket
Requires blue magic. Break the blue barrier then duck walk through the passage to grab the silver cricket.

Candle 1
Requires double jump. You have to jump over the entrance to the cave and go through the path.
Coin
No requirements. Throw a bomb at the rock in front of the zip line to access it, then take the zip line. Use the duck walk to crawl through a hidden passage and continue to the end to find the coin. Also credit to M. Cobalt for showing me this.
Smart Gun
Bomb the rock in front of the zip line then take it down. After you arrive, head left and grab the key at the base of the cliff (which I forgot to get a screenshot of). Head back right and enter the house then give the Fairy Dust to the inventor for the Smart Gun. This unlocks red magic for breaking red barriers.
Star Earrings
Requires red magic. Speak to the guy above the inventor at the house where the zip line goes.
Candle 2
Requires red and blue magic.
Shard
Requires candles. Dispel the barrier then defeat Cornrad

Griffon Boots
At last! The double jump! There are two methods to get these boots. The first route requires only red magic. Jump down from the right side of this platform to a hidden area underneath. Enter the house and break the red barrier to get the boots.
The second method requires blue magic. Break the blue barrier and grab the key from the secret area, then unlock the upper door of the house to enter and grab the boots.
House Plant
One of Cypress’s House Plants will be located in the Griffon Boots house after you talk to him to start the quest.
Bonus Stage
Requires double jump. Fortunately this is also found in the same house as the Griffon Boots which give you the double jump. Please refer to the Griffon Boots section for the two methods of getting in.
Beacon
Bomb the tree at the far right end of the stage to find the beacon on the other side.
Chillinax Peaks
There are red barriers at the start of the area, so you’ll need red magic to navigate beyond the initial area.
Gray Rock
Gray falling rocks can be found for Munhum’s rock collection quest
Coin
Requires blue magic. In the first cave you’ll see light from a lantern that is just barely visible on the ceiling. Jump up into the light then use blue magic to break the barrier.

Power Pendant
Give the Shard of Refraction (found at the bottom of Sprigum Volcano) to the lady in the room behind the locked door.
Shard
Use candles to dispel the barrier then defeat Apatu. I check my inventory to see how many candles this barrier took but forgot to write it down. I think it required 3? Possibly in the future or if people leave comments I can update the barrier candle requirements.
Boanjale Crypts
If you attempt the enter the crypts without the Power Pendant from Chillinax Peaks, you take constant damage and die within seconds. Make sure to visit the volcano to get the item needed for the Power Pendant.

Sprigum Volcano
The rising lava room can be done without any extra items like I did in my first run. However, having the double jump makes it much easier.
