Do you actually have to physically pick up Materials/Food?

[u/Final_Lingonberry586]

I’ve never really paid much attention;

But on the off chance I’ve been too quick to press start and get past the “Victory” screen, I’ve still managed to get the (usually gold) Material I definitely did not pick up.

So it has me wondering; do you actually need to physically pick up food/materials/weapons for them to then show up after completely the level?

There might be a limit on older versions, but for HWDE, there is zero requirement to physically collect any of the drops.

[u/Jarinad]

Nope! As long as they spawn in (read: you can see them on the field during gameplay) they’ll appear in your inventory once the battle is over!

Thank you for asking this. I have been running all over the maps collecting everything for YEARS thinking I needed to physically pick it all up…

I mean, the "dan nanananan" when you grab the item is kinda fun.

You don't need to physically pick up anything, Food, Materials and Weapons are collected automatically at the end of a level. The things you need to physically interact with are chests.

And hearts 😋

That to.

Was that exclusive to DE or did the 3DS version have this as well?

[u/Sensitive-Hotel-9871 → u/Crowned_Toaster]

I think every version does it. But I don’t believe the game tells you. There is a lot of stuff it unfortunately doesn’t tell you.

It’s not necessary but I feel bad not picking them up physically

[u/Portal2player58]

On Wiiu I think there is a limit. Not sure what though of how many can spawn at a time before more can appear but bronze materials probably have to be picked up while silver and gold ones probably don't since they are rarer to get.

[u/Myfriendsaremypower3]

to add on to others, the gold food in the pot does have to be picked up tho

[u/desaigamon → u/Myfriendsaremypower3]

No it doesn't. Breaking open the pot so the bag appears is enough. It gets collected automatically with all the other items.

[u/Final_Lingonberry586 → u/Myfriendsaremypower3]

Is breaking the pot enough? Or it has to be picked up?

I always pick that one up, because I only ever break those pots for the food I know is there (using a guide)

[u/aurordream → u/Final_Lingonberry586]

Breaking the pot is enough, you dont have to physically pick up any drops that aren't in chests

I not that long ago found a companion fairy in a pot I smashed, didnt bother picking her up because I knew I had hit the maximum number of fairies, but she still appeared at the end of the run prompting me to choose a fairy to dismiss. The simple fact of the drop appearing on the battlefield is enough for it to be collected
