Locating all of the Fire Emblem: Three Houses (opens in new tab) lost items and working out who to return them to is a great way of increasing your bond with all of the characters. As you run about the Garreg Mach Monastery, you’ll find all sorts of different items, from a wedge of cheese to a bottle perfume.
Losing something important to you is never fun, so really you’re doing a lot of good work by finding and returning these items, and it comes with the added bonus of quickly improving your relationships. Sometimes the obvious recipient isn’t always right, though, and it can be confusing at times to know just who you should give it to. Thankfully we’re here to give all the tips you need to find and return the Fire Emblem: Three Houses lost items.
How to find Fire Emblem: Three Houses lost items
Throughout the Persona-like segments where you walk around Gregg Mach Monastery you’ll come across little glowing spots on the ground, in bushes, and on various pieces of furniture. Those spots are all pickups including fish hooks, ingredients, various other items, and lost items. You should always jog over to these spots and quickly grab whatever it is. There is no reason not to.
As soon as you pick a lost item up you’ll get a prompt about who might have dropped it (if it’s not a lost item it’ll just tell you what it is). They’ll say things like “from someone who loves weight training” or “a tea aficionado” that give you a hint as to who the lost item belongs to. The bundle of dry hemp, for example, goes to someone who is “skilled with a bow,” which could mean someone like Ashe or Bernadette. (Hint: It’s Bernadette)
Speak to people to return Fire Emblem: Three Houses lost items
Once you find an item all you’ll have to do is walk around the monastery and try to find who it belongs to. All you’ll need to do is walk up to someone, talk to them, choose the lost item menu selection, and then choose an item. If you’re right the character will thank you and you’ll get a bond boost and if you’re wrong they’ll say it’s not theirs. Some rejections are a tad more rude than others, I’m just trying to do a good deed for Pete’s sake!
Outside those rude comments, there isn’t a downside to trying to return an item to someone besides the rightful owner. So if you’re confused by a specific item just try and go down the list to whoever you think it might belong to. It might be painful to hear rejections over and over, it just makes things a bit easier.
Take a screenshot to help you return Fire Emblem: Three Houses lost items
If you’re committed to recruiting certain characters in Three Houses, use the Nintendo Switch’s screenshot feature to capture a picture of those likes and dislikes. It’ll help you remember everything needed to recruit characters and return lost items. It’s important to track the likes and dislikes of each character you want to recruit. Most of these traits show up at the beginning of the game before you choose a house and can be seen, through context, in conversation and support dialogue later on.
Find all the Fire Emblem: Three Houses lost items before the time jump
Once you get to the twenty-hour mark in Three Houses the story jumps ahead five years. It’s only natural that the monastery would change over an amount of time like that meaning many of the characters will no longer be there. Once they leave you’ll lose the opportunity to return lost items and recruit them. If you choose the Blue Lions, for example, then students you don’t recruit from the Black Eagles and Golden Deer will be gone.
Lost items don’t leave your lost item inventory after the time jump so you’ll want to solve that mini-mystery if you’re obsessive about completing everything in the game. If you’re not interested in recruiting or learning more about a certain character then don’t worry, there isn’t much of a reason to return their items anyway.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses lost items locations and months
Certain lost items only appear in certain months. They’ll always be there at least so if you miss anything you can just try and grab it the second time around. Just remember the time jump though as some people aren’t around any more to receive anything you might find. Here’s a month by month list of every Fire Emblem: Three Houses item.
