In Visions of Mana, there are plenty of other RPG activities for players to participate in aside from the main story. This includes taking on enemies in combat throughout each area, seeking out Nemesis, completing side quests, and hunting down a series of valuable items and collectibles.

One of the most beneficial collectible items in Visions of Mana is the various Chalices that can be found hidden in certain areas. Chalices are very useful, as they open up more ability slots for each playable character in the game, giving them more options and utility for the rest of your playthrough. If players are wondering exactly how Chalices function and every hidden location for them, they can find all relevant information in the guide below.

What Do Chalices Do in Visions of Mana?

chalices 2

In Visions of Mana, there are a total of twenty Chalices that can be found. There are five different types of Chalice, consisting of one type of Chalice for each of the five playable characters. The first three of the four Chalices for each character are hidden inside Treasure Chests at different locations throughout the world map, while the final Chalice for each character can be obtained in the postgame from one specific location.

Chalices are very useful items in Visions of Mana, as they increase the maximum amount of Ability Seeds each character can have equipped at a single time. As Ability Seeds are used to grant characters new attacks, buffs, or de-buff abilities that can be used in combat, Chalices are worth taking the time to seek out, as they will make your party even more powerful and provide them with some extra utility. All twenty Chalice locations have been identified below, separated by character.
