I've picked up one of the chests on I've missed on NG+ and progress bar wouldn't count it, do I need to do them in one walkthrough? It'll be awhile till the next one I missed, want to know early and start another playthrough if so.

Can confirm: you have to get all chests on one save. If you haven't got them all on your first run and then started NG+ - need to open all 10 again.

I have a good news. Even if you skip the chest, don't worry. You can repeat the chapter and open it later. The autosave icon appears when you open the chest for the first time. This is a sign for you that the game has saved it for achievement.

I can confirm chapter select works but it cant be on a different save slot. So you must remember which chests you have missed or what I did was just watch the video and recalled if I opened that chest or not. This will be more difficult on NG+ as knives are even more limited since the difficulty isn't narrative.

Can confirm too. Chapter select works. Collect a knife, open the chest and wait until it saves. Missed two chests on my first run. Did them on chapter select and the achievement popped after opening the second missed chest.

In my first playthrough I had fun and didnt look at any chests or collectibles, thought could do on ng+. But ng+ turned into a nightmare for me, no knives and I couldn't opened most of the chests. Now I need to complete the game for 3rd time... you have to play at easy difficulty to get this achievement.

There isn’t that I’m aware of. I just made a OneNote tab and chapter selected to each location, then check marked each one off as I completed them.

Good news: I missed he second Secret chest in Chapter 9 because I didn't have enough knives. I used chapter select after beating the game (I had not started New Game Plus yet) and loaded into the start of chapter 9 - Exploration. I grabbed the knife by the first Secret chest, advanced the story to get to the second and got the achievement.

So if I'm using chapter select, can I quit the chapter as soon as the chest is opened or do I have to go to finish it/ get to a save point.

The chests don't count in chapter select unfortunately. If you don't get all of them on your first playthrough, you will have to play through the whole game again.

After finishing chapter 9 I reloaded the chapter and I grabbed the knife at the tower and opened the second chest by the lost goat and my tracker went up. NG plus resets the chests .

Can you replay chapters for this? I've gone back to get the ones I think I missed but the counter isn't moving?

By Subject J80 on 08 Nov 2022 15:19
I confirm that it must be done in the same save. You can go back and get the missing chests. If you have no knives you are obliged to load an even earlier chapter and continue from there, as I had to do from 7 to 9.

But by same save, it means including chapter select.
Just don’t start NG+

Not having a chest counter in chapter select like there is with souvenirs and herbarium is an absolute pain in the ass. I don’t remember which ones I missed. Looks like I’m probably going to have to play through the whole game again!

Anyone confirm you can/can't get this with Ch. Select because Ch.9 having an extra knife just wasn't possible to me. With the pretty awful skill system in place with this game it seems it's pretty much a mandatory multiple playthrough which sucks but still would be nice to know. It seemed like Maka thought you could just ch select and get the one chest if you missed it in his guide video. Guess I'll find out after I beat the game and that stupid chest is the only thing I'm missing lol

Bit late to the party but here's my collectibles guide. This includes all Flowers, Feathers, Souvenirs, Secret Chests, Knives & Tools. Fully narrated, timestamped and includes guidance on missable story achievements when nearby.

There is a total of 10 Secret Chests. Found in the following chapters.
Chapter 3 - The Warehouse
Chapter 4 - Risky Itinerary
Chapter 5 - Reaction ferry
Chapter 6 - Call of the rats
Chapter 7 - More Rats
Chapter 9 - Exploration
Chapter 9 - On the mountain
Chapter 10 - In the courtyard
Chapter 11 - Rat tank
Chapter 13 - Ruined village

The harder the gameplay difficulty the less Knives you'll find within the chapters. My video guide below will show you where to find knives on medium difficulty.

Once you find and open the chest can you quit back out to chapter select to look for the next?

I'd like to know as well. I've bounced from chapter select in the same save file to all chests but its not popping for me. I opened each chest and quit out to the menu.

I'm NOT playing the entire game from top to bottom for this one achievement.

Hi All,

There are 10 secret chests to be found in the game. To open a chest you will require a knife, knives are single use items so I would recommend on holding on to the ones you find and avoid using them on the guards.

If you, like me in the 9th chapter, used a knife for the chest in the tower, and you did not have enough knife for the second chest after the goat, then you can restart from the very beginning of the chapter through the main menu, go to the tower, take the knife there and open their second chest. Progress for the first will already be counted, as will the memories found in the chapter. Don't forget to solve the puzzle with the mill and collect tools/materials in the open location, they will not be saved when you restart the chapter

Because progress for chests is counted, then after completing the game, if you missed one or more chests, you can select the desired chapter (it is important to do this on the same save, not NI+) and the subsection in which there is a knife, go to the chest, open it and exit to menu load next chapter

If you already have a knife in your inventory, then in the tower you first go upstairs and open the chest, and then pick up the knife below, in which case you will also arrive at the chest with the goat with a knife. You won't need to reload the chapter.

If you are playing on a hard difficulty setting other than New Game+ (which is considered the "hardest difficulty setting" where the difficulty cannot be changed), some knives will not appear!
You should change the difficulty to an easier menu setting and the knife should appear in its place without having to reload the checkpoint.

Important : this trophy may be glitchy!
The trophy tracker on PS5 may display an incorrect completion percentage, which may prevent you from completing the trophy even after finding all the chests. Therefore, I advise you to check after opening each chest to see if the completion percentage has increased: there are only 10 chests - 10% is given for each. If the counter is lost, reinstalling the game should help (don't forget to unload your saves).
On the easiest difficulty there will be more knives.
Also, in order not to restart Chapter 9 because of 2 chests, you can improve your equipment to the maximum to carry 2 knives.

On my first playthrough, I opened all the chests. The trophy counter showed 5 out of 10. I closed the game and decided to look at the solution to this problem later. The circumstances were such that I turned on ps about a day later. I launch the game and a trophy appears. Maybe this will help someone.
