Learn how to recover items from Legacy Chests in Outward to unlock the 'Gift from the Ancestors' achievement. Our guide explains the process step-by-step.

Hey there, adventurer! So you're looking to snag that 'Gift from the Ancestors' achievement in Outward? It's all about digging into those Legacy Chests. If you're not sure what those are or how they work, don't sweat it – I've got you covered. We'll walk through how to find and use them to get the item you need for that achievement.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, you'll need to understand how Legacy Chests function. These special chests allow you to transfer items between different playthroughs of Outward. When you start a new game, you'll have the option to place items into a Legacy Chest in your starting town. Later, in a new game, you can access this same chest to retrieve those items.
  2. 2
    The 'Gift from the Ancestors' achievement specifically requires you to recover an item from one of these Legacy Chests. This means you'll need to have previously placed an item into a Legacy Chest in an earlier playthrough and then successfully retrieve it in a new one.
  3. 3
    To get started, make sure you've played through Outward at least once and have some items you want to carry over. When you begin your next adventure, you'll find the Legacy Chest in your starting town (like Cierzo).
  4. 4
    Interact with the Legacy Chest and select the item you wish to retrieve for this achievement. Once you've got the item out of the chest, the achievement should pop!
Tips
  • Think carefully about what item you want to transfer. Some items are crucial for early-game progression, while others might be purely for cosmetic or achievement purposes.
  • Remember that you can only access the Legacy Chest in the starting town of your current playthrough. If you're in a different region, you'll need to make your way back to Cierzo (or whichever town is your starting point).
  • Don't forget to actually place an item in the chest during your *previous* playthrough! It sounds obvious, but it's easy to forget this crucial first step.
