At long last, one of the worst kept secrets of Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia has been revealed by Famitsu: a collaboration with 7-Eleven, a popular convenience store chain in Japan.

Between 24th May and 31st July, players can download a special item daily by using the in-store “7-Spot” Wi-Fi. These include an exclusive sword and shield (pictured above), as well as 6 provision items.

What’s special about the two pieces of equipment is that they boost a unit’s stats between the 7th and 11th turns. Meanwhile the provisions restore a lot of HP and Fatigue when consumed, making them useful for extended dungeon trips.

How to Receive

You must be at Act 3 or later. From the world map menu, select Communications – Communication Settings – Receive Data. When asked “Do you want to download data from Internet?” select “Yes”. A “Gaudy Man” will appear at Zofia Castle (Alm) or Zofia Port (Celica). Speak to the Gaudy Man once a day to receive an exclusive item.

Note: The Gaudy Man will disappear afterwards and you may have to start from Step 2 again during each new day.

Available Items

Seven Sword (first encounter only) Seven Shield (second encounter only) Chicken Salad (randomly selected) Mushroom Bread (randomly selected) Spicy Chicken (randomly selected) Mille Crepe (randomly selected) Grilled Chicken (randomly selected) Pure Honey (randomly selected)

To collect all 8 items, you therefore need to find the Gaudy Man at least 8 times. However, the provisions are randomly chosen and you can get duplicates, so it might take more tries than that. (You can try saving before speaking and soft-resetting if you get a duplicate.)

At the time of writing, it’s unclear if these items or a similar collaboration will be present in the Western release. Of course, we’ll let you know if we discover anything!
