Complete Set of Treasures and Companions in Bookworm Adventures Volume 2

Treasures are special items that are earned by completing chapters. They perform some type of special ability to help Lex. In Bookworm Adventures, Lex can only hold three treasures at a time. In Bookworm Adventures, Vol. 2, Lex can only hold two treasures and one companion at a time. Treasures can upgrade and replace others at times.

Note:

At the end of each chapter is a powerful enemy who must be defeated in a Boss Battle. Once you've defeated the Boss, Lex will wiggle to the end of the chapter where he will be rewarded with a special treasure. Treasures have different powers that affect Lex's fighting ability, and they appear in the treasure area in the lower left-hand area of the screen. Treasures work automatically and do not need to be clicked to activate.

Trivia[]

  • In Bookworm Adventures, you have 18 treasures (considering upgraded treasures as one unit). In the sequel, you have fewer treasures; 13, to be exact. This is due to the addition of Companions.
  • Even though you cannot have the treasures from the first game in the second one (apart from the Magic Pen), you can still see some of them on the Hall of Fame in the main menu.
  • The Magic Pen is the only treasure that appeared in both games; however, its effects are different. In the first game, it gives a chance to stun, while in the sequel, words based on word terms (such as "verb", "adjective" and "simile") will become bonus words.
    • It is also the treasure with the shortest upgrade time (in the sequel), receiving an upgrade immediately after completing the following chapter.
  • Some treasures bear resemblance to the Shen Gong Wu from the animated show Xiaolin Showdown, such as the Hand of Hercules resembling the Fist of Tebigong, the Robe of the Unseen resembling the Shroud of Shadows, etc.
