Secret Chests & Stashes

Scattered throughout the vibrant and often perilous landscapes of A Plague Tale: Requiem are numerous Secret Chests and Stashes, offering valuable resources that can significantly aid Amicia and Hugo on their journey. These hidden containers often require keen observation and a bit of environmental interaction to uncover. Prioritizing their discovery can provide crucial upgrades for Amicia's sling and crossbow, as well as essential crafting materials like herbs, sulfur, and leather.

Many chests are found off the beaten path, tucked away in alcoves, behind breakable objects, or in elevated positions. Keep an eye out for subtle visual cues such as slightly ajar doors, unusual rock formations, or areas that seem inaccessible at first glance. Sometimes, a simple interaction with a lever or a well-aimed projectile can reveal a hidden path or open a previously sealed container.

The contents of these chests are randomized to some extent, but they consistently provide a good mix of crafting components and sometimes even rare upgrade materials. For instance, finding a chest early in a chapter might yield enough sulfur to craft a potent alchemical bolt, or enough leather to improve Amicia's carrying capacity for throwable items. Don't underestimate the value of these seemingly small discoveries; they can be the difference between a successful stealth approach and a desperate fight for survival.

Pay close attention to the environment. In areas with dense foliage, look for openings that might lead to a small clearing containing a chest. In more urban settings, explore rooftops and back alleys. The game often uses lighting to draw your attention to these hidden spots, so be observant of any unusual glints or shadows. Collecting all the chests in a chapter is also often tied to achievements or trophies, adding another layer of incentive for thorough exploration.
