SHADOW HEARTS 3: FROM THE NEW WORLD JUDGMENT RING ITEMS FAQ Nautilus: Developer Aruze: Publisher X-Seed: Localisation/Distributor (NTSC) Ghostlight: Distributor (PAL) =============================================================================== by threetimes: February 8th 2008 This FAQ identifies all the locations for all the Judgement Ring items. It does not tell you how to win battles or navigate all the dungeons, but if you are missing a particular Ring Item, you can quickly check out the location, and maybe find one or two that you didn't know existed! -------------------- Table of Contents -------------------- A. Introduction B. All Ring Items listed by Location C. All Ring Fragments: 14 in total D. Ring Effects Items (Alphabetical Order: 39 in total) E. Strike and Hit Area Expand Items F. Ring Abnormalities G. Credits and Acknowledgements H. Legal Stuff and Contact =============== A. Introduction =============== The Judgement Ring is used for everything in this game. You use it in battles to make physical and magic attacks and as a basis for executing a combo attack. You also use it when playing the Lottery and for all shopping. The Lottery and shop rings are predetermined and cannot be influenced by the player. The battle rings can be altered to suit, and customised in many different ways. o The Ring Fragments can be exchanged for Attack Boosts. o The Added Effects can be equipped to a ring to give an additional effect to physical attacks. o The Expand Items allow you to alter the width of the ring's Hit and Strike areas. Sometimes additional ones can be obtained after boss fights if certain conditions are fulfilled, but I have only included the ones you can get without any extra effort. New Game+ None of the Ring items are transferred to the new game. However you will find that some of the Stellars are replaced with Keys. Also, if you complete the Snaps quest, you can get the best Ring item in the game: the Eternal Key. ===================================== B..

All Ring Fragments: 14 in total ================================== If you miss one of these items, you can still find it, by returning to the location specified. In order to receive the Attack Boost you must give a Ring Fragment to the Ring Spirit in New York. Aya can be found around the left corner of the main building in New York City. A question mark will appear above Johnny's head when he stands at the left side of the box below the sign "Garland Detective Agency". Press X to engage in conversation. You can visit the Ring Spirit whenever you like, and the next conversation will then take place, and you can have as many conversations as you have Ring Fragments, so in theory you could save them all up and have the all the conversations at once...if you really wanted to do that. Each character has a maximum number of attacks for their ring. If you used all 14 Attack Boosts this list shows the maximum attacks each character could have. There are 7 characters and 14 Attack Boosts, and each person can add two boosts to their ring. Character Default Attacks Maximum Attacks Johnny 1 3 Shania 3 5 Natan 2 4 Frank 3 5 Mao 2 4 Hilda 1 3 Ricardo 2 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location .................................Summary ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ x New York City ..........................Automatic The group return to New York after the events in Arkam University. After a scene in the Detective Agency, exit to the street and there is another scene with "Cheeky Joshua". He says he picked up a weird thing on the sidewalk and then a strange light appeared but then went after he screamed. Joshua hands Johnny the thing he found. This is your first *Ring Fragment*. Go to the left corner of the building and you can see a strange white glowing light next to the box under the Agency sign. Move forward and press X to investigate, and you will get the first *Attack Boost* from the Ring Spirit, and a Ring tutorial if you choose. x Grand Canyon ...........................Path to first trial After entering the village and talking to the person in the large tent at the left, the man blocking the path ahead will let you pass. Once this path is open go forwards to the next screen. Then before going too far, there is a bush at the right of the path with the *Ring Fragment*. It is opposite a dark stone that juts out from the left of the path. x Chicago ................................Chest near Night Club The *Ring Fragment* is in a chest at the right corner of the pavement to the right, heading up the screen towards the Deuce Night Club. x Alcatraz Prison ........................Return to boss area After fighting the boss you will automatically leave Alcatraz, and to find the Fragment you have to return and follow the same route to the outside area where the fight took place. The *Ring Fragment* is found in the corner of the wall to the left of the right fence. There are no more enemies here. x Roswell Research Institute .............Near shop Once you reach the area with the "Just us Guys" shop, head up to the top right corner of the room and through to a walkway. Then go around the right hand metal walkway and there is a chest containing the *Ring Fragment* x Caribbean Pirate Fort ..................Captain's cabin After completing the first series of events and the boss fight, a new location will open up on the world map (Purramount Pictures). Return to the Fort and walk up the ladder and along the track to where the pirate ship can be found to the right. Now you can access the captain's cabin from the deck of the ship. The *Ring Fragment* in a chest by the bed. x Las Vegas ..............................Chest in casino Once inside the hotel lobby head right into the casino. The *Ring Fragment* can be obtained from a chest located at the far right bottom corner of this large room. x Rio De Janeiro .........................Red truck From the arrival point walk down the left side of the town square, and the *Ring Fragment* is to the left of the red vehicle. x Machu Picchu ...........................Near shop outside After emerging into the open from the first puzzle area, stay on the upper path and just to the left of where the shop can be glimpsed on the lower grassy level, you can find the *Ring Fragment* x Vilcabamba .............................Second floor After operating the switches on the first floor, stand on the circle to go up to the second floor. Walk right and up to find the *Ring Fragment* behind the pillar. x Aito Cave ..............................Far right cave From the entrance to the cave start by going straight up and past the blue Tiki and continue to the right (the south east corridor on the map). There will be a north opening, but continue past this and into a large open room. Get the *Ring Fragment* from the chest at the right. x Uyuni Salt Lake ........................Fourth floor There is a save point as you enter the fourth floor. After using the switches and finally getting the far door to open, Johnny will be at the far left of the save point, and all yellow and red pillars will be up. Go right past the save point and cross over the gap using the three red pillars. Then walk across the two yellow pillars. The second one closest to the wall has the *Ring Fragment*. (From here you can go straight up and on through the open door to the next floor.) x Garland Residence ......................Second save point This *Ring Fragment* is in a chest close to the second save point in the study: the chest is in the top right hand corner to the right of the long couch. The room is at the far end of the mansion, if you check the game map. x Brazilian Ninja Village ...............Momonga jump Complete four jumps successfully to land at the place where the item can be found. You must jump 200 feet, 220 feet, 230 feet and finally 280 feet, in that order. The *Ring Fragment* is hidden at the waterfall and the area is the one where the 10th caddie can be found, so you could do the jumps in a different and longer sequence to get there. ======================================================== D. Ring Effects Items (Alphabetical Order: 39 in total) ======================================================== All quotes are taken directly from the game. Ring Items with a 1 will add a low-odds effect. Ring Items with a 2 will add a medium-odds effect Ring Items with a 3 will add a high-odds effect o Apathy...this prevents any stock increase. "This Ring Item embodies the resignation of the bull head ghost, Tartagoth, who found his maze too hard to escape." Apathy 1 Pirate Fort This item is found on the abandoned ship. To reach the ship take the boat that is at the end of the path that goes past the hut. Once you can access the hold, go all the way to the right until you reach the "Just us Guys" shop. Then go right into the next room and walk up the room and there is a treasure chest just before you reach the opening at the top left. (It is opposite the blue hole where you exit to the shore.) Apathy 2 Garland Residence After finding your way through the numbered seals you will reach Seal VIII. The chest containing this item is to the right of the seal. Apathy 3 Ninja Village (Frank's quest, boss) Frank's character quest involves Momonga jumping, and after he has completed all the jumps he has to fight Jonin in a one-on-one battle. This item is an automatic drop that you will receive when Frank wins. o Blood Loss...this cuts current HP in half. "This Ring Item embodies the shrewdness of the evil spirit Dedelys who steals half your life to grant your wish." Blood Loss 1 Roswell (Lottery) Lottery Member 10 is standing next to the vehicle to the left of the hotel where Roger's ship has crashed. This is the prize for hitting the red area. Blood Loss 2 Aito Cave This item is found in a chest that lies behind two blue Tikis. You can only reach this location if you are teleported there from the red platform that is to the west and north of this central location. This is reached by going up and right from the save point at the Western Corridor, and at the next junction head left and up just before two Tikis that are facing away from you. Here you can find the platform that takes you to the chest with the ring item. Blood Loss 3 Ninja Village This one is easy as all you have to do is to open the chest that by the fence at the entrance to the village. It is in the left corner of the fence and left of the blue sign where two ninjas are talking. o Evasion Down...this makes it harder for the enemy to evade physical attacks. "This Ring Item embodies the fierce tenacity of the giant spider Ungol who can catch a tiger." Evasion Down 1 New York (Ring Spirit) The location of this one is often missed, simply because it is so obvious, although you cannot actually miss getting it. You will automatically receive this item when Johnny first talks to the Ring Spirit and accepts instruction on how to use the ring. Evasion Down 2 Rio de Janeiro Another easy to find, but easy to miss item. Enter the newspaper offices to the left of the town centre and search the lockers to the right of the room. Evasion Down 3 The Gate You can only find this item after defeating the first Malice Soaker boss. After this, in the next part of the area, go left and at the end of the path you can find a chest with this item. o Instant Death...this can instantly kill an enemy. "This Ring Item embodies the cruelty of the evil bird Chemelkil who eats one's soul at the brink of death." Instant Death 1 Chichen Itza When you reach the second part of this dungeon there is a room with 12 pillars and a save point. The chest containing the item is behind the pillar that is closest to the right wall and the last one of the centre row. Instant Death 2 Uyuni Salt Lake (boss) This is another automatic drop after a boss fight. You can only reach the boss by climbing to the top floor of the dungeon, and opening the door at the right after completing the small puzzle on the floor. Instant Death 3 Rio (Hilda's quest) Another boss fight drop, though this time it is a lone fight for Hilda after her personal quest. You have to reach floor 13 of the Sushi House in Rio to trigger this battle. o Paralysis...this stops all movement. "This Ring Item embodies the severity of nature in the plant Marlone. Its poison petals cause paralysis." Paralysis 1 Caribbean Pirate Fort From the start point at the fort go down the screen to the beach. There you can find the barrel, and the item is in a hidden chest between the barrel and the rock wall. Paralysis 2 Aito Cave (Uma Hunting boss) Yet another character quest reward, and this time for Natan as one of his UMA hunting expeditions. The boss will only appear after setting three different sets of bait in three different locations. Paralysis 3 Guina Highlands (Natan's quest, boss) Yes, another UMA hunting quest for Natan, and an even more complicated one. The Ring item is an automatic drop after beating the boss. o Petrify...this turns the enemy to stone and another hit can destroy them. "This Ring Item embodies the shock of Medusa, the snake woman who accidentally looked into a shield." Petrify 1 Las Vegas The group will gain access to the hotel rooms in Las Vegas and this item is found in Room 807 inside a chest. You need to find the key for this room by fighting the enemies in room 823, and they will leave the key on the floor after this battle, so all you have to do is pick it up. Petrify 2 Aito Cave (boss) This item is dropped by the boss of Aito Cave and you will receive this automatically after winning the battle. Petrify 3 Doll's House (Ricardo quest, boss)) After completing the dolls' eyes puzzle in the Doll's House, the boss, Dana, will drop this item when you win the battle. Ricardo does not have to fight alone. This quest location can only be accessed after Ricardo has found all the Muse items and after the party have visited the open Gate. It also has to be triggered by talking to Al Capone in his office in Chicago. o P-Attack Down...this decreases the power of an enemy's attacks. "This Ring Item embodies the prudence and bravery of Edward III, the "Armour King." It weakens the force of an enemy's Physical attack." P-Attack Down 1 Alcatraz (boss) You will receive this Ring item automatically as a drop, when the boss Ronwie is defeated at the end of this dungeon area. P-Attack Down 2 Vilcabamba (boss) You have to operate various switches to ride the teleporters to find the two bosses of this dungeon. One of them, Killer, drops this item automatically once defeated. P-Attack Down 3 The Gate (boss) The first boss at the Gate, Malice Killer, drops this item when you defeat him. o P-Defend Down...this decreases defence from physical attacks. "This Ring Item embodies the primordial appetite of slime that dissolves anything. It weakens an enemy's Physical Defence." P-Defend Down 1 Chicago Find this inside the pub: the nostalgically named Prospect of Whitby. It is hiding in a corner if you go down the corridor to the end, and turn right, then check the left hand seating area. P-Defend Down 2 Rio de Janeiro From the entrance to the town head straight past the fountain and through the opening to the next screen where you find the slum area. The "Just us Guys" shop/motorbike is parked here and there is a rubbish bin to the right of where the item can be found. P-Defend Down 3 Guina (Natan quest) This item can be found in the highlands. It is at the right of the path before reaching the second save point. From the start save point go left, and past the first turning to the right, (check the map to see that this is just a dead end), then continue to the crossroads, and turn right towards the next save point. There are two small bushes on the right of this path and a rock,and the item is found there. o Poison...this makes an enemy lose some HP every turn. "This Ring Item embodies the viciousness of the Snake God Molda, who kills any living thing that draws near." Poison 1 Grand Canyon This one is difficult to miss as it is inside a treasure chest inside the large main tent. Poison 2 Vilcabamba This is found in a treasure chest on the third floor of this dungeon. This is the floor with the save point, and from here head right and then down and the chest is at the end of the narrow pathway. Poison 3 The Gate From the second save point, (Beyond the Gate: Passageway), you can go left, and then carry on down this path a little way, and finally then head right onto a small circular area to find a treasure chest with this item. o Seal...this prevents the enemy from using magic. "This Ring Item embodies the deep sadness of the mermaid Meima who lost her sight because she loved a human." Seal 1 Alcatraz This one is easy to get, but actually can be missed, simply because of the slightly odd camera angle. After you enter the location and have walked through the water, go up the stairs to the left and get a scene at the door. Continue and when you can, turn right to find the Ring item. This is before entering the metal door. Seal 2 Vilcabamba You can find this inside a treasure chest on the first floor where it is possible to make blue connecting pathways of light after having activated the switches on the other floors. It is close to the yellow teleporter at the left of the area. Seal 3 Ninja Village To reach the treasure chest containing this Ring item you must complete the fourth momonga jump after flying 160 feet. Pick it up by heading down the sandy area and before climbing the tower for the next jump. o Slow...this slows speed, making it take longer for an enemy to have its turn. "This Ring Item embodies the unexpectedly gentle heart of the brawny forest troll." Slow 1 Roswell This is well hidden, in a store room to the left of the central room where you find Roger and Hilda. There are some oil drums with markings on them and a collection of boxes in the middle of the room. The item is found in the boxes. Slow 2 Purramount Pictures (Mao, fight 3) Mao's personal quest at Purramount Pictures will first open up after you complete the Pirate location. You must collect various coins in order to progress to the different fights and scenes. The Ring item is an automatic enemy drop when Mao defeats the third actor: Cat Morita. Slow 3 New York, Chelsea, (boss) You can only trigger this event after visiting the the Gate towards the last stage of the game. Return to the Chelsea area of New York and speak to a chap who will inform you that there is a black bat inside the Erick Theatre. Enter the theatre and walk around to the right and up inside the main ground floor hall and you will find an elderly member of Hilda's family. If Hilda defeats him (it is hardly possible to lose this battle) she will automatically receive the item as a drop after the battle. o Sp-Attack Down...this makes magic attacks less effective. "This Ring Item embodies the inquiring mind of old magician Aeon who perpetually seeks the truth. It weakens an enemy's Special Attack." Sp-Attack Down 1 Alcatraz There are hidden double doors in the south wall of the main cells area, directly opposite the central corridor. Go in this room and there is a chest to the far right, near where you find the Jailbreak Spoon. Sp-Attack Down 2 Vilcabamba (boss) After successfully negotiating the switches and teleporters you will meet the double boss of this dungeon. One of them, Killer, drops this item automatically when you win the battle. Sp-Attack Down 3 The Gate (boss) Defeat the boss, Malice Gilbert, in the Gate area and you will be rewarded with this Ring item as a drop. o Sp-Defend Down...this makes defence from magic less effective. "This Ring Item embodies the fighting spirit of Warrior Maiden Valkyrie in the Battle of Ragnarok. It weakens an enemy's Special Defence power." Sp-Defend Down 1 Grand Canyon This is another of those easy to find, but easy to miss items. When you first arrive at this location you are on top of a mountain plateau. Walk to the far right, (not going down the path), and you will find this item. Sp-Defend Down 2 Machu Picchu After manipulating the coloured masks you can open the central door in the room that has three doors in the north wall. There are three chests in here and one of them contains the Ring item. Sp-Defend Down 3 Doll's House (Ricardo's quest) This item is easily found inside the Doll's House in the study, which is the room at the right of the main double doors. Check the bookcase on the far wall opposite the entrance to this room. =================================== E. Strike and Hit Area Expand Items =================================== These items are useful because they help you to be more accurate in hitting every area of the ring. Each character's ring has a different layout and some are harder to use than others. First experiment with the ring in battle to see how easy or hard you find it to get every hit area, and then to get a ring perfect by hitting every strike area. Once you know how it flows, then consider adding the items that can extent the areas and help you get a better laid out ring. This is really a matter of personal preference. Note that if you add these and then later decide to alter the number of attacks, thus changing the layout of the ring, the items will automatically be removed and returned to your stock. They are not lost and can be re-used on the newly laid out ring. ------------------------- Getting More Area Expands ------------------------- Although some can be found in the dungeons they also may be dropped from boss fights when you fulfil certain requirements. See the Boss Battle Bonuses FAQ by Hunter_Rose for more details on this. Later in the game you can get Strike Area Expands from the Lottery member 2, at Moana village, and from Lottery member 5 in Times Square, and Lottery member 1 in Rio de Janeiro. Hit Area Expands are a second or third prize in some of the other Lotteries. Thanks to lugia46's Lottery FAQ for this additional information. If you want more Hit Area Expands, and especially if you have walked a long way, visit Arkam and speak to Foley the P.E. Teacher to get Hit Area Expands in exchange for 4000 steps on the Pedometer, and Strike Area Expands for 8000 steps.
