Between hacking and cutting your way through wave after wave of enemies in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, you will spend considerable time back at your base interacting with allies, upgrading facilities, and preparing for the next battle. Beyond these essential activities, optional collectibles await players willing to explore. Among these are Documents—a special collection unique to each house that provides deeper insight into the world of Three Houses. Each set contains three or four items, and finding all of them rewards devoted players with a richer understanding of the game's lore. Here is where to find every document in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes.
At a Glance
- Documents are optional collectibles divided into house-specific sets

Why Search for Documents?
While these documents provide no material rewards, they offer something different: context. For players familiar with Fire Emblem: Three Houses, these texts shed light on the geography, history, and political landscape that shaped the game's world. The documents also vary meaningfully between houses, rewarding players who explore multiple routes with fresh perspectives on shared events.
Bottom Line
Most document locations repeat across routes—the dining table, chapel altar, and shop boxes serve as consistent gathering points. The Blue Lions stand apart with their fourth document in the chapel. Whether you commit to finding everything in one playthrough or collect documents across multiple runs, these hidden texts add depth to an already content-rich game.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to collect all documents to complete the game?
No. Documents are completely optional. They provide lore context but have no impact on gameplay progression or endings.

Yes. Each house has its own set of three documents (four for Blue Lions), with unique titles and content reflecting that faction's perspective and history.

Yes, but only for one house per playthrough. Starting a new game with a different house unlocks that route's unique document set.
Do documents respawn if I start a new game plus?
In a fresh playthrough of the same house, the documents will be available again in their original locations.
Are there any other collectibles similar to documents in Three Hopes?
