Grand Photo
With 3 PHOTOS, a PATH OPENS...
Tenna, Chapter 3
The Grand Photos, or Special Photos (JP: スペシャルフォト), are photos that can be collected with the camera on the Island Board of The Legend of Tenna. There are a total of 4 Grand Photos that can be taken, but only 3 are required to progress.
In Chapter 3, the Grand Photos are mentioned at the beginning of the Island Board by Tenna. After obtaining the camera, the party is instructed to take 3 Grand Photos to reach the Magic Raft, traverse the ocean, and bring the missing lover to Lover's Peak.
The 4 Pippins to the left of Kodakoda Shrine hint at the identity of the 4 possible Grand Photos:
| Hint | Photo |
|---|---|
| "THE PLANT OF SPIKES, HIDES IN THE FOREST. IT'S NO ROSE, BUT ITS THORNS HOLD LOVE." | "A PHOTO OF THE SMITTEN CACTUS." |
| "A GREEN GEYSER, JUST NEXT DOOR. WHO CAN DIG IT UP?" | "A PHOTO OF A SPRING OF GREEN PERFUME." |
| "A FLOWER TORN IN HALF! I WONDER WHO TOOK IT... THE PHOTO, I MEAN." | "A PHOTO OF A FLOWER TORN IN TWO." |
| "THE RED ANTLION, UNDER THE GROUND. FANGS OF YOUTH, UNEARTHED WITH A PHOTO." | "A PHOTO OF THE SCARLET ANTLION." |
The cactus can be found hidden next to a set of trees, in the west coast; specifically, the same room with the missing lover.
The green spring can be found at the top-right of the starting room, through the entrance with a hot spring sign. However, the geyser will not be active until the party brings Lancer to the room, who can be bought from a Pippins selling him for 999 POINTs (or 9 or 99 POINTs, if a photo of Lancer's price tag is taken before buying). Returning to the spring with Lancer starts a cutscene where he digs through the room up to the green spring, causing the geyser to erupt, and allowing the Grand Photo to be taken.
The flower can be found by solving a set of water puzzles, starting below the room with the waterfall. Ralsei automatically obtains this photo if Kris allows Susie to keep the controllers mixed up.
The red antlion can be found after Susie detonates the bombs in the bomb room. Following the downwards path leads to the antlion den, which contains several blue antlions (as well as the red antlion) digging around the room.
After the Rock Video physical challenge ends, if all Grand Photos were taken, the score tally lists the 4th photo as a secret bonus, which gives a bonus for the Evaluation.
