Without a doubt the Shield of Rekross is better than Call Colossus. But for some reason, I have yet to see the shield spawn on Debir or Scarlet. I used the KBScanner on 10 save game files and the earliest island it spawned in was in Verona (sometimes no Shield of Rekross at all, like in my current game). This is all well and good since you could map-kite up to Verona, but if you are going for a 7-day game then map-kiting is not an option.

I believe that even though items are random you only get to spawn some items in some areas. I've seen this happen when I was trying to get an Ancient Amulet and Gladiator Sword in the initial academy and castle (around 100 tries); the items generated in both buildings are limited to a few items only.

On Impossible difficulty the first few levels are the hardest if going for a 7-days/no-loss game. I read that you have 1 in 40 chance per chest to get a wanderers scroll, and in the first 120 chests I opened in Debir and Scarlet I found 4 such scrolls (Ancient Knowledge, Magic Flow, Call of Death, Titan Armor), and that was not including the Call Colossus I got in replacement of the duplicate navi map.

I may be wrong though, so if anyone found the Shield of Rekross in Debir/Scarlet/Bolo/Rusty, please correct me.
