Collectibles (Asterix at the Olympic Games)

These are collectible items found in Asterix at the Olympic Games. Most of them are similar to collectibles in Asterix & Obelix XXL 1 and XXL 2.

## Helmets

Roman helmets are the most common collectibles in the game. They function as a currency for the merchant who sells additional fighting techniques, repairing broken mechanisms, buying roast boar from vending machines and buying interview and making-of videos in the bonus section of the pause menu. They can’t be found floating around openly in the environment this time, isntead only spawn from defeated Romans or smashed environmental objects. Lots of helmets can be gained for efficient fighting and varied use of combat techniques.
The player can also collect golden helmets which are quite rare, one golden helmet is worth 10 regular helmets. They're dropped by centurion Silencius when he's defeated, Romanophones if the player repeats their fights, and Roman targets if they're filled with additional Romans once they've already reached their limit.
Multipliers increase the amount of helmets collected by their respective value. In this game, they can only be spawned by fighting Romans and they come in two variants: x3 and x10. Multipliers expire after a period of time, but if the player is quick enough they can add up multipliers up to x99, resetting their lifetime.

## Boar Sticks

A single boar stick restores one health unit. The player’s health is represented by shields, one of which equals four health units. The player’s initial health limit is twelve units (three shields). By collecting additional shields they can extend it up to 24 units (six shields). Boar sticks can never be found floating around, and only in Gaul, will the player hunt a few boars which drop meat when killed. In Olympia there are two ways of getting boar sticks: digging up urns by pounding the ground where it sparkles and breaking them, or buying meat from vending machines (the amount is limited).

## Shields

    A single shield permanently extends the player’s health limit by one unit. There are twelve shields scattered around Olympia to find; their placements can be found in a separate article.
This playlist shows the locations of all twelve shields in video form.

## Magnesia

    Magnesia is a white substance which allows Asterix to climb ledges. There are three bags of magnesia in the game, and they extend the amount of time Asterix can hold onto ledges before automatically falling down, represented by a white bar. The bar fills up when not holding onto a ledge.

## Glue

    Glue is a green substance which allows Asterix and Obelix to swing Romans for a longer period of time before automatically tossing them off, represented by a yellow bar. The bar is replenished by beating up Romans. There are three buckets of glue in the game. One of the glue buckets is locked in a small room in the area under the bridge on the way to Brutus' Quarters. Watch this video to see how to reach it.

## Magic Potion

    Magic potion gourds can be picked up only by Asterix, Obelix will just phase through them and pass them on to Asterix. When Asterix takes magic potion, he generates a shockwave which stuns nearby enemies and breaks environment objects. While potion is active, Asterix deals more damage and runs faster, but jumping slows him down to normal speed. The effects last shortly, and the gourd takes some time to respawn.
There are only three spots in the game where the player can find gourds of magic potion: one in Gaul, another one in the level leading to Doctormabus’ lair and one during the final battle against Brutus' army by the Palace. The twister attack which is required to beat the final battle, can only be performed by Asterix when he has drunk the potion.

## Pigeons

    There are 50 pigeons to be found in Olympia that will reward the player with bonus videos and additional playable characters for the Olympic mode. The first ten pigeons are mandatory to progress past the tutorial level.
They can be hidden quite well. Use this article to find detailed descriptions on where to find them or check out this playlist that shows all of their locations in video form.

## Bonus Crates

    Bonus crates only appear in the two Chariot Races. They can be picked up by either racer, but the first one to press the displayed button will get the bonus contained within it, unless nobody does so, in which case it falls behind. The bonus is decided randomly when the crate is touched out of three possible items:

* Boars will slightly restore the racer's chariot health
* Cauldrons will fall on the other racer's chariot and damage it
* Romans can be used to whip the other racer

## Trivia

* When loading any chapter of the game, which are freely available from the main menu, the player will start out with no helmets and the default amount of health. All the shields will be uncollected and in their places.
* The use of magic potion has no effect on pressure blocks.
