Sea of Stars is out right now for PC and consoles; it’s the dream 90s-style JRPG you’ve always wanted to play. Featuring lovely sprite art, an engaging story, and fun timing-based turn-based combat, you can’t find any traditional JRPG experience quite like this, with massive polish to boot.

One of the game’s sidequests involves you looking for these special items called Rainbow Conches. These items are in yellow-and-blue chests that are scattered all across the world of Sea of Stars. They’re also rewards for doing sidequests in the game’s major towns.

Later when you reach Docarri Village, you’ll come across a kid named Mirna who collects Rainbow Conches. He will give you rewards for finding them; the more you find and trade, the better the rewards. Plus, it’s also one of the prerequisites to unlock the game’s true ending.

Here’s a list of the Rainbow Conch rewards you can get, as well as their locations. Keep in mind that we will have to delve into late-game areas for this, so here’s your spoiler warning.
