I just noticed we actually don't have this visiable, or if we do it isn't sticked anywhere.
ASCEND
FLOOR 1
Hidden Item Soldier's Hat
Condition Clear the stage with no damage taken.
Easy enough, just aggressively use quick attacks and block after your combos before going back on the offensive.
FLOOR 2
Hidden Item Warrior Trousers
Condition Clear the stage with no Ring Out from either party.
Keep away from the edges. If you back your opponent to the edge, back off and let them chase you to the center of the ring.
3 to 4F : : Blade Piercing Wall
FLOOR 3
Hidden Item Pauldron
Condition Switch with an ally 2 or more times.
Very easy, just hit the switch button a couple of times to toggle between characters two or more times.
FLOOR 4
Hidden Item Warlord's Belt
Condition Perform 3 attack throws.
Attack throws are attacks that, if they hit up close, lead into throws. An example is Siegfried's + B.
5 to 7F : : Predator's Feast
FLOOR 5
Hidden Item Clergy Clothes
Condition Defeat an enemy by Ring Out.
Just knock an opponent out of the ring for the win.
FLOOR 6
Hidden Item Wonder Jacket
Condition Throw an opponent.
Uh, throw an opponent.
FLOOR 7
Hidden Item Warrior Trousers
Condition Clear the stage without missing any attacks.
The stage conditions are a bit dubious here. Your attacks can be blocked, you simply can't whiff any attacks. We used only grab attacks and were able to earn the treasure.
FLOOR 8
Hidden Item Armor Ring: Ice Mirror
Condition Switch with an ally 2 or more times.
Very easy, just hit the switch button a couple of times to toggle between characters two or more times.
FLOOR 9
Hidden Item Scarlet Blossoms
Condition Guard the opponent's attack 3 times in a row.
You gotta block against three attacks in a row, without counter attacking or getting hit.
FLOOR 10
Hidden Item Silver Boots
Condition Guard the opponent's attack 10 times in a row.
You must guard against ten consecutive attacks without counter attacking or getting hit. This is tough, as you'll have to block high and low. Watch the opponent's attacks closely.
11F : : Threatening Mirror
FLOOR 11
Hidden Item Grim Horn
Condition Defeat all enemies with Critical Finish.
We found this easiest with Raphael, who can quickly get to a Soul Crush situation by rapidly attacking with vertical attacks like the Rapid Assault combo.
12 to 14F : : Life on Sand
FLOOR 12
Hidden Item Magus Cloth
Condition Defeat all enemies by Ring Out.
You should first knock down one of the two tall walls to allow an easy ring out, then simply ring out the two opponents.
FLOOR 13
Hidden Item Pegasus Sallet
Condition Destroy all the walls within the stage.
There are two tall walls that can be knocked down. Knock an opponent into them (attacks that launch them off the ground work well) or get yourself knocked into the walls.
FLOOR 14
Hidden Item Phantom Pavilion - Seesaw
Condition Perform 3 or more Guard Impact.
The opponents throw mostly mid and high attacks, so you can pretty easily score three Guard Impacts. The description makes it sound like you can't block at all, but you surely can.
15 to 17F : : Life to Entertain
FLOOR 15
Hidden Item Submission Belt
Condition Clear the stage only with A&G.
Use only horizontal attacks to win the fight. You can guard as much as you want and even execute throws as long as they don't involve the vertical attack or kicks.
FLOOR 16
Hidden Item Warlord's Pauldrons
Condition Clear the stage with time remaining at 0.
Wait for time to get near 0 before defeating the final enemy. With just a second left on the clock, grab the opponent with a throw—the animation should complete after time runs out.
FLOOR 17
Hidden Item Arm Bandages
Condition Execute a 5+ combo.
The Apprentice is good for a multi-hit combo. Just launch the opponent into the air and follow with the Levitation Combo.
18 to 20F : : No Man's Land
FLOOR 18
Hidden Item Kouchu Kabuto
Condition Stand on all corners of the stage.
We just walked around the perimeter of the stage (trying to push against the invisible walls that keep you in), hitting all four sides.
FLOOR 19
Hidden Item Demonic Kabuto
Condition Switch with an ally 5 or more times.
Simply toggle through your characters at least five times. You won't be able to do it all at once, as your switch meter will run out after just three switches.
FLOOR 20
Hidden Item Life Gem: Sun
Condition Clear the stage with a Critical Finish.
You've got to be really aggressive to create an opportunity for a Critical Finish. Try defeating one of the two enemies by ring out before worrying about the CF, preferably getting rid of the lady with the ability to damage you with parries.
FLOOR 21
Hidden Item Longhua Qipao
Condition Voluntarily perform a Ring Out.
Interestingly, you have to ring out yourself in order to earn this hidden floor's hidden item. Simply jump off the deck of the bridge voluntarily (don't get knocked off).
FLOOR 22
Hidden Item Honor Boots
Condition Perform 4 or more Counter Hits.
Counter hits sorta happen on their own, so you don't even need to try for this one. You can watch your opponent's movements and instantly counter with a very fast character, but we found any effort a bit unnecessary.
FLOOR 23
Hidden Item Frilled Skirt
Condition Guard the opponent's attack 3 times in a row
You gotta block against three attacks in a row, without counter attacking or getting hit.
24 to 26F : : Iron Sword

30 to 32F : : Unfailing Tower
FLOOR 30
Hidden Item Spirit Gem: Nonuple Heads
Condition Clear the stage without guarding.
Straightforward, just don't guard! Well, easier said than done. Go for quick KOs via ring outs.
FLOOR 31
Hidden Item Longming Qipao
Condition Perform 5 or more Just Inputs.
Various things count as Just Inputs, like a Just parry, Just guard impact, or even certain Just attacks. The idea behind Just inputs is that you input them at the exact right time. Find a character with Just attacks and spam 'em as best you can.
FLOOR 32
Hidden Item Vane Mask
Condition Perform a low throw.
Not many characters have low throws, though Astaroth and Rock both do. Use one of them and wait for the opponent to crouch to grab 'em.

Hidden Item Battle Dress
Condition Perform 3 attack throws.
Attack throws are attacks that, if they hit up close, lead into throws. An example is Siegfried's + B.

FLOOR 35
Hidden Item Warthog Pauldrons
Condition Clear the stage without switching characters.
Simon says don't switch characters, so don't switch characters. Try to keep your first character in good health so that you don't have to worry about running low on health.
36 to 38F : : Time to Trifle
FLOOR 36
Hidden Item Parlor Blouse
Condition Clear the stage with time remaining at 0.

FLOOR 39
Hidden Item Kingfischer Greaves
Condition Clear the stage without changing position.
