These chests don’t just boost your inventory; they offer a satisfying break from quests and dialogue-heavy moments, letting you dive straight into discovery and loot hunting.
Tracking down each chest scattered across DragonSword: Awakening’s map can seem daunting, but knowing exactly where to look and what’s required to open them makes all the difference. From solving environmental puzzles to gathering keys, each chest brings something unique that enriches your gameplay experience.
Keep in mind the bounty of chests listed here is still growing — expect updates as the map expands and new secrets surface.

Besides simply showing all chests on the map, you can filter your search by normal treasure chests or marmot minigame challenges. Zoom controls help you pinpoint exact spots, whether you’re chasing standard rewards or aiming for the rarest prizes.
