It is found on the last [[sublevel]] (5) of the [[Hole of Beasts]], and is held by this [[cave|cave's]] boss, the [[Empress Bulblax]].

The Treasure Gauge is a very reliable device that helps with tracking down every treasure in the game. When it is in the Exploration Kit, a gauge appears on the [[HUD]]. In it, there is a needle that wiggles continuously when a treasure is in the current field or cave, and the closer the current leader is to a treasure, the farther to the right it goes, and the harder it beeps.

The Treasure Gauge is a very reliable device that helps with tracking down every treasure in the game, no matter if is out in the open, an enemy has it or it is buried. When it is in the Exploration Kit, a gauge appears on the [[HUD]]. In it, there is a needle that wiggles continuously when a treasure is in the current field or cave, and the closer the current leader is to a treasure, the farther to the right it goes, and the harder it beeps.
If there are no treasures available in the sublevel or field, the gauge turns off and becomes gray on the HUD. If an [[Antenna Beetle]] is nearby, the box glows purple and the needle moves erratically, until the creature is defeated.
