Final Fantasy 15 Episode Gladiolus item locations for the Picker-Upper Trophy / Achievement
How to find every last hidden collectible in the story episode.
Final Fantasy 15 Episode Gladiolus items are easy to miss as you're exploring the lengthy trial-filled dungeon, but if you manage to find every one, the Picker-Upper Trophy / Achievement will be waiting for you.
Unfortunately, there is no way to log which ones you've collected or passed, and since there are many points of no return, many are very easy to miss if you're not careful. Below in chronological order is every item by trial to help you get everything along the way.
If you're after help for parts of the DLC, consult our Final Fantasy 15 Episode Gladiolus DLC guide and walkthrough.
