One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Guide – How to Trigger All Treasure Events

One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 contains Treasure Events which are hidden sequences that only play out when certain criteria are met by the player. These range from completing certain actions quickly, to beating levels with specific characters. While none of the Treasure Events in One Piece: Pirate Warriors are especially difficult, some will require a bit of a time commitment since they require specific characters that most players don’t really use often, or are unlocked later in the game.

Characters you will want to focus on leveling up to make your life easier are Zoro, Sanji, Brook, Nami, Ivankov, Buggy, Jimbei, and Boa Hancock. You’ll only need them to be powerful enough for the One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3 Treasure Events that require them, so don’t stress yourself out trying to max out every single one.

Syrup Village

1. Prevent enemies from destroying Usopp’s barriers while also clearing enemy controlled territories. As long as you keep an eye out on what’s going on around Usopp, you should be fine.

Final Chapter

Sabaody

2. During the mission Boa Hancock will retreat to her ship, escort her in order to receive a cutscene when she arrives safely.
3. At the end of the level, Sentamarou will appear with four Pacifistas. Defeat all of the Pacifistas before delivering the finishing blow to Sentamarou. Be ready to dodge a lot since Pacifistas are no joke when it comes to battle, and four of them can prove to be quite difficult.

Fishman Island

1. There will be four territories with the “?” icon, clear each of them.
2. While clearing the territories make sure no allies retreat before you reach Hody.
3. You will fight Hody and he will retreat before appearing in the northeast section of the map.

Punk Hazard

1. Free Sanji from the Southern portion of the map in order to allow him to make his way to Vergo and fight him.
2. Playing as Zoro, engage Monet.
3. Make sure every Marine Captain escapes the first Shinokuni zone. This is a little difficult since you have to pretty much be the last person out. This is due to the fact that it seals off once you exit the zone.
4. Once out, free all of the trapped Marine Captains (they’ll have a “?” icon over them) by defeating the enemy captains guarding them.
5. After freeing the captains, head on over to Law and Smoker and make your way to Vergo (he’ll be in the SAD lab). Fight Vergo with Smoker close by to trigger one of the Treasure Events.
6. After some time, most of the level will be contaminated leaving only the northwest section of the map. After about a minute, Caesar Clown will appear and he must be defeated as quickly as possible. If your friends clear one of the enemy territories before you beat Caesar, you will fail to unlock the Treasure Event.
7. Playing as Luffy, make sure that no allies retreat as you fight and wait for the final fight against Caesar Clown. If done correctly, the Treasure Event will play right before the confrontation.

Dressrosa

1. Rush over to the Green Bit section of the map (located in the northwest) and clear it out. You want to race ahead of both Law and your other allies because once Law reaches the location, Bellamy will appear.
2. Quickly defeat Bellamy before he retreats.
3. There will be Pirate Captains after the Flame-Flame Fruit in the Colosseum. Once again, race ahead of Law to reach the area and defeat the captains. If Law gets there before you, there is a very high chance that he will die.
4. Now you just have to locate Blackbeard and defeat him as fast as you can. He is a challenging fight, so make sure that whoever you use is at a relatively high level. Put your Kizuna Rush to use and you should be fine.

Now you know how to unlock the Treasure Events for some really cool story bits in One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3!
