Tracking down a Tales of Eternia Remastered Lens can mean checking somewhere as ordinary as the windmill door in Rashean Village. With 60 scattered around the game, you’ve got plenty of little hiding spots to check.
You’ll know where to look and when to visit Irene for rewards, from Combo Command at 10 Lens to the Lens Hunter title at 60. There’s no need to rush: story progress won’t stop you from returning to collect the ones you missed.
Overview and Rewards
Collecting Lens is the game’s big side quest, with 60 scattered across various locations. None are missable through story progress, so you can revisit these places and collect them right up to the end of the game.
Take your Lens to Irene in Chambard (Inferia), beside the weapon shop entrance, or in Tinnsia (Celestia), inside the item shop.
Your rewards depend on how many you’ve collected. Once you reach 60 Lens, she’ll give you the title ‘LENS HUNTER’.
*10 Lens: Combo Command
