Velvet Blue #03

Document: Target Practice & Shooting Range A
The first shooting range can be visited before going into Chapter 3-2. You'll receive 15 000 Pesetas for collecting the first six bottlecaps. The shooting game needs to be repeated multiple times. Hitting five targets in a row (regardless of head or body shots) makes a Salazar target appear for extra points. Arguably, tap firing with the TMP is one of the best ways to got about it, with the pistol being a decent alternative. Missed bottlecaps can still be acquired at later shooting ranges.
Chapter 3-2

Velvet Blue #12
After using the Gallery Key, there will be a deer head on the left wall. There's a Velvet Blue on said deer head.
Yellow Herb #10
Once the puzzle beyond the gallery has been solved (4-2-1-3), you may proceed into the next room. After another cutscene with Salazar, you'll find yourself in front of multiple scythe weilding Ganados. To your right will be a door with an alternative way to move to the upper floor. This is also where a yellow herb is hidden.
Spinel #44
In the same area as the previous yellow herb, there's a Spinel sitting on one of the chairs. If you prefer to save some ammo, you may get the ornament without killing all enemies, which unlocks the door to leave the room early. The enemies disappear thanks to that, so you may re-enter the area safely.
Spinel #45
You'll reach a small passage filled with crows, with a Spinel hanging on the wall above a door.
Velvet Blue #13-14 & Spinel #46
Not long after the previous treasure, you'll encounter a fountain with crows sitting on it. On the fountain are sitting two Velvet Blues and one Spinel. You may also shoot down crows in the air right above you to get extra money.

Spinel #50
In the same room as the two potential Novistadors is a large vase next to a door, in which a Spinel is hiding.
Hourglass with Gold Decor & 15 000 Pesetas
Continuing on, you'll be trapped in a cage upon entering a room with a chest in the center. This is where a Garrador and a bunch of enemies are going to spawn in. It's possible to blind most enemies using a quick flash grenade first, then throwing a hand grenade towards the door in front of you. The big lock will be destroyed, letting you escape back into the room with all the tables. From there, it's rather trivial to shoot down any of the enemies, who are going to try to get to you through the other side of the cage that is still locked.
The chest itself contains the Hourglass with Gold Decor and defeating the Garrador grants you another 15 000 Pesetas.
Rocket Launcher
Moving into the next room, there's a free rocket launcher, ammo and grenades on display. You may want to upgrade your inventory size at the merchant first, who can be found in the same area.

Spinel #56
On a table right after entering the dark hallway.
Gold Bangle #02
Before being able to continue, you'll have to solve a puzzle by rearranging some misplaced pieces. Move the piece that is on the center left first. Next, put the cursor on the bottom left piece and from there, move the pieces one by one counterclockwise. Continue to do so until the game let's you place the missing piece (which you can found in the first room), indicating that the puzzle has been solved successfully.
Following that, you'll enter the final room of this section. There's a chest with the Gold Bangle on the left side of that room.
Spinel #57
In the same room as the Gold Bangle, inside a cabinet that sits in the corner.
3 300 Pesetas
After getting the Salazar Family Insignia, putting it into place in the room where you found the Butler's Memo, you'll be able to leave the area by climbing up a ladder. Before heading out the door, there's some money that can be grabbed first.
Chapter 4-1
5 000 Pesetas, Broken Butterfly & Elegant Perfume Bottle
Once Leon and Ashley are reunited, it's possible to backtrack to the fountain in the west of the castle. For this, you'll have to go back into the dining room, but be aware that this room will be filled with new enemies. From there, you can either walk north through the upper area of the hedge maze or south to get to the outer pathway. Piggyback using Ashley in order to unlock the door.
Velvet Blue #19
Continuing on, you'll reach a room filled with lava. The vase next to the typewriter contains a Velvet Blue.
5 000 Pesetas & Illuminados Pendant #02
In the room beyond the lava pit is where you need to get the Lion Ornament. Once the fire-breathing statues emerge, they can be shot down by shooting multiple times at the chains. The right one spawns a chest with 5 000 Pesetas, the one on the left gets you a second Illuminados Pendant.
Spinel #58
In a large vase after riding a tram car for the first time.

Spinel #63
In the same room inside a small crate.
Velvet Blue #22
In the same room inside a large crate.
19 500 Pesetas
As soon as the King's Grail is picked up, you're going to be trapped and attacked by Armaduras. The second wave of enemies gives you three times 6 500 Pesetas.
Velvet Blue #23
You'll reach a hallway with broken windows, after putting both the Queen's and King's Grail back in place. There's a cabinet on the right with a hidden snake and a Velvet Blue, hiding inside small pots.
4 600 Pesetas
In the same hallway, there are two cabinets on the left side containing 1 800 and 2 800 Pesetas respectively.
Butterfly Lamp #02
The hallway leads into the ballroom, but there's a second way in by hopping over the window on the right side of the hall. Climbing up the ladder reveals a Butterfly Lamp in a chest. This is where Red, Green and Blue Eyes that are dropped by Novistadors go into.
Novistador #15-23 & Novistador Hive
Entering the ballroom through either means gets Ashley kidnapped and seven Novistadors are going to attack you. Feel free to go back through the door and fight against them in the hallway, to both make the insects spread out less and prevent them from falling into the void. There's a hive at the ceiling of the ballroom that can be shot down before or after Ashley gets grabbed.
There will be two additional Novistadors hanging on the hive, if you decide to wait for the hive's destruction after Ashely's gone. Don't kill the insects up there, instead just shoot the hive to avoid losing potential treasure to the void. Destroying the hive itself kills them anyway and grants you three Red Eyes, four Green Eyes and a Blue Eye.
Velvet Blue #24
In one of the barrels outside the door beyond the next merchant, before crossing the bridge to a tower.
Spinel #64
Destroy the torch next to the previous Velvet Blue.
Document: Ritual Preparation
On a table at the top of the tower.
Gold Bangle #03
Dropped by the rocket launcher Ganado, outside the tower on the bridge, after it has been moved to the side. Try killing him quickly with something like a Magnum headshot while stunning the rest of the enemies with a flash grenade, then quickly move on.
30 000 Pesetas
There will be a room with two Garradors, one of them wearing full armor. As long as you don't move away from the entrance, the gates won't close. That way it's possible to kill the two Ganados standing in the middle of the room, then do a quick turn and exit the room. Immediately quick turn again and re-enter the room with the two Garradors. Stand still and shoot the bell on the far right, then hit the Garradors on their back with the Magnum or a similarly strong weapon.
At least one of the Garradors is going to come after you, together with a Ganado that you need to dispose of. You'll be forced to move away from the door eventually, but it's advisable to not go up the stairs to avoid more enemies from spawning in. Do keep in mind that moving up the stairs is going to make some enemies spawn even after killing both Garradors. They drop 15 000 Pesetas each.
Spinel #65-66
In the same area where you fight two Garradors, behind the double door. There are two statues on the side, each of which are holding a Spinel.

Kill Verdugo to get this treasure. There is no need to freeze him with a nitrous oxygen tank if you use a rocket launcher on him, although it makes it easier to hit and is required to increase damage throughput using other means, as it lowers his defense. The Crown Jewel can be combined with the Crown.

Novistador #24-57
Inside the cave full of Novistadors, there's a total of 34 Novistadors to kill. 19 of them can be killed before pressing any of the switches. Pressing the one on the right (west) of the cave spawns additional five Novistadors, activating the one on the left (east) makes ten more appear. Avoid shooting them down above a void to prevent yourself from losing item drops. Hitting them midair does extra damage, usually killing them instantly.

From the area with the Iron Maiden, do not backtrack to Ashely right away and instead follow the way east to a merchant. Next to him are barrels, one of them hiding another yellow herb. It's the path leading to the radio tower.
Chapter 5-2
Document: Paper Airplane
At the beginning of the chapter, there will be a paper airplane flying into the room.

50 000 Pesetas
Left behind by U-3. During the first phase, you'll have to shoot green lights to open shutters, creating a path to push two switches in each cargo container.

Inside the third container, you can open the shutter on the left side of the container early by throwing a hand grenade at the lower right corner of the shutter door.

During the Krauser fight, there will be a gate that closes behind you, with a yellow herb to your immediate right. It's the final part of this section before encountering Krauser one last time.
Krauser
Krauser himself doesn't give any sort of treasure. It is worth noting however, that he is always (also in his first phase) weak to knife attacks. Before picking up the second Piece of the Holy Beast, which triggers Krauser's final phase, make sure to pick up the magnum bullets and the green herb if you have a need for them. It is possible to knife him down in a corner, but it's safer to use the magnum to shoot into his legs and his head in tandem.
Chapter 5-4
Yellow Herb #24

15 000 Pesetas

Once you left the war zone of an area with Mike as backup, you'll move up a stairway. On one of the pillars hangs an emerald. You won't be able to pick it up right away as a cutscene is going to interrupt.
Emerald #13

In the outside area with the fountain, there's a building you'll have to hook shot into. You'll have to enter this building as part of the main quest anyway to get the Hourglass with Gold Decor (key item). There's a red cloaked Ganado inside as well. It's the building where you'd find the Broken Butterfly as Leon.

You'll be trapped in a building having to survive waves of enemies until the electrically locked door opens up. There are two tents that you can jump down to, one of which has a barrel inside that hides a Velvet Blue.
Yellow Herb #12
Opposite to the tents where you find the last Velvet Blue.
8 000 Pesetas
Each Gatling Man (J.J.) drops 4 000 Pesetas each, except for the one that chimes in at the start of the chapter, as that one leaves an First Aid Spray.

Inside a barrel in the area where in Leon's campaign the helicopter is shot down. Be aware that entering the pathway to that barrel makes three enemies spawn.

Assignment Ada
