A guide to finding Trails in the Sky SC's hidden items Gambler Jack
Jason Sio
Update from the author : "I apologise for a mistake I made regarding vol. 10. I have corrected it to "after Carnelia Tower“ instead of “after Amberl Tower” now."
The much-anticipated Trails in the Sky SC was finally released on Steam and PS Vita released three weeks ago. This series is famous for its many missable items and quests. In the first chapter, there was the Carnelia book series. In this chapter, they are the Gambler Jack books. This will be a one-stop guide for those wishing to get all those pesky Gambler Jack volumes once and for all.
The Gambler Jack volumes are necessary for you to obtain two of the strongest weapons in the game. For those playing on Steam, there’s the achievement. The books themselves are a pretty good read as well.
