A collection of maps for finding missed locked chests and the skill level needed to unlock them.
Maps with chest skill levels
I should warn you that this guide is rough, really rough it was just something I quickly threw together as I played through the game. Also the initial unlocked and easy chests from Caldera, Tacarigua and the Sword coast are missing because I didn’t get the idea to make my own maps until I had nearly finished the Sword coast. I may go back and add then later but for now they’re missing and I know they’re missing.
Also a few notes about how I noted my maps
Usually all chests are marked in number order as are the monkey points i.e. 1,2,3, M1, M2, M3. However if a monkey point is in the same area as a chest I’ve marked it the other way around i.e. 1M. I also have not marked unlocked chests if they are in the same area as other locked chests or in an obvious place.
I know that most of the descriptions are useless however having just the numbers and nothing else looked awful so i added them no matter how little they help.
In a few places I mentioned getting the treasure maps as that will also give you the island map, I don’t know if that happened in my game because I was using the unoffical patch or not but if it is I also mentioned where the normal map is.
A couple of times I also marked where I use the monkey to get loot when climbing this is because when I tried to grab the ledge as the hero he wouldn’t grab it but the monkey did.
I hope I managed to find all of the chests but with no other guide to check for reference I may have missed some.
