Sakura Wars Bromides guide: where to find all the secret discoverable bromide collectibles hiding in the game

by Josh Torres on 28 April, 2020

Sakura Wars has a lot of hidden bromides throughout the game. Nearly all of them are time sensitive and only have a narrow gap in which players can find them. If you're a fan of the older Sakura Wars games in the series or curious about who the characters in the older games were, you should seek them as many of them as you can out.

In this guide, we'll cover all the secret bromides you can easily miss. Aside from these, other bromides can easily be purchased from Komachi's shop when the bromide icon on the map appears over her. You can only buy one bromide from her shop at any given time and have to wait later until the chance arises once more. These cost no money, since there is no currency system in the game.

You can also obtain more bromides from completing mission objectives in the Battle Bot simulator that unlocks in Chapter 3 that lets you replay past stages with different characters.

Note that in New Game+, any bromide you missed on your first playthrough will now show up on the map too.

Here are all the hidden bromide collectibles you can find in each chapter. Some bromides only appear after certain intermissions in a chapter.

To make sure you see absolutely everything in Sakura Wars, be sure to check out our guides to the main story dialogue options, the secondary story choices, the dating events and, of course, how to get all of the endings. We've got you covered!
