There are 31 treasure maps in Phantom Hourglass. Each one marks a red X on your Sea Chart, and when you sail to the X and lower the Salvage Arm you pull up a sunken chest. Of the 31, 23 hold a Ship Part, 5 hold Sand of Hours worth one minute each, 2 hold a random Treasure, and the last holds a Big Gold Rupee. You need the Salvage Arm before any of them pay off, so this page starts there.

The Salvage Arm
Buying the Salvage Arm
Eddo, the shipwright, builds it. Buy the Cannon from him first for 50 Rupees. Later he sends a letter saying the arm is ready, and you collect it from him. When he asks how badly you want it, shout into the DS microphone: the louder you are, the cheaper it is, from 1,000 Rupees for a whisper down to 200 Rupees for a full yell. Once you own it, a Salvage option appears in your ship menu at sea.



Salvaging a chest
Sail to the X, open the ship menu and pick Salvage. Drag the arm left and right with the stylus to steer it, and slide it up or down to change how fast it sinks. Touch the Rupees floating around to collect them as bonuses, then hook the chest. Avoid the spiked Octomines and the rocks: each knock damages the arm, and after five hits it breaks.



Repairing the arm
If it breaks, take the ship back to the Mercay Island shipyard, where Gazpacho fixes it for 20 to 50 Rupees.

Tips
Ship Parts from sunken chests are more likely to be rare than parts found elsewhere, so salvaging is the quickest way to fill a ship set. Sinking a large pirate ship can also leave an X on your chart.
