    1. Set the Records of Eminence objective "Exploring the Trove".
    2. Speak with Greyson in Lower Jeuno and trade Silver A.M.A.N. Voucher(s) for a Mars Orb or Venus Orb.

      * If you best the mimic, the gold treasure chest will appear once more and you may open it to clear the battlefield.
    • Gold Chests
      Opening the gold chest will complete the battlefield, and you will receive a number of spoils proportional to the number of wooden chests you have opened.
      * If an item with the attribute would drop but you already possess that item, it will not appear in the list of spoils and there will be no system log to notify you of this.
