COMPLETE CHEST GUIDE

The first time playing after update I pressed return to taleville
as soon as the option came up and this never unlocked. However
after starting again fresh it still would not unlock.

I then decided to try a long shot and replayed Chapter 15 and
walked away during the non skippable credits and after about
2 minutes sitting in the chapter result screen it finally
decided to unlock.

This maybe happened because the first time I went through Chapter
10 it only awarded me with 37 of the 38 chests so I had to replay it.

So if you are still having problems after obtaining all the chests
in a level check the book and make sure it has given you a new total
to match the correct number +38 etc and not missed one even though
you may have opened it. And after getting all levels complete chapter
15 and it should unlock as it did for me.

FINISHED!

You need to finish the level and get to the stats screen (where it shows your grade) for the treasures to count. It's important to return to the taleville area to check your stats to make certain everything registered. If you're missing one, it's best to replay the level before proceeding to the next.

There are 2 missing from the fifth level, but apparently after the latest patch you don't need them to get the achievement. (FYI: You'll see 2 behind the gate after the second ferris wheel on the candy castle level. These are chests that you've already opened and are showing closed).

Written guides for this achievement are great. I copied Solution for Treasure Hunter In Fairytale Fights in to a word document to mark the chests off as I went.

However, I also thought that video guides may also be of benefit to a lot of people. The following videos were all recorded and uploaded by sirsylvain on youtube.

As the other solution says, you must get ALL the chests on one play through of the level. Go to the book near the statue to record your overall total chests opened before starting a chapter. Once you have finished that chapter, go back to the book to make sure that all the chests were recorded.



Please either comment below or send me a Personal Message if you have any comments or improvements.

This is not a locations solution. Fancy Bacon has listed a great guide for that, which I used, so there is no sense in repeating it. This achievement is causing others problems so I'm going to sum up the Do's and Don'ts here and you can supplement this with Bacon's delicious guide above.

**Keep in mind that Chapter 7 has 3 chests at the end and not 2. Fancy Bacon's post shows (-3) prior to the last chest, so the 2 at the end is just a small typo and should be "3."

1. I did it in a single play through.

Do not assume it will unlock if you open half of the chests in casual setting and the other half in hardcore or a co-op game. Since others are having trouble, I did it all in one difficulty from start to finish to be safe.

2. ALWAYS check to see if the chests registered.

If you have already played the game you likely have already opened chests. Say you are at 1000 total chests opened, take note of that before you start a new game. Chapter 1 has a total of 12 chests so after you have used the chest locations sheet, check-marked all the 12 chests and know you got them, finish the level and get your grade for Chapter 1. On the grade page, hit the "Y" button to go back to Taleville. Then go to your statue book and check the "progression" section again. If it says you now have 1012 chests open, you can check off ALL of chapter 1 and move on to chapter 2. Rinse and repeat that for EVERY level, in order, to be certain they are accounted for.

3. When you get there, Chapter 10 is a problem Chapter.

After playing all previous chapters in order, when I got to Chapter 10, I had to replay it few times. Even after I knew I had opened all 38 chests, it said I only opened 37 when I would go back to the progressions book in Taleville. If it does this, just keep replaying Chapter 10 until it shows you have received credit for ALL 38. I had to replay Chapter 10 about 4 times for it to finally say I opened all 38. I think this has something to do with the invisible sword chest. The camera glitch might cause this chest to glitch as well...which is likely one of the reasons the achievement becomes glitched. Of course, I don't know that for sure. Just a thought so keep playing Chapter 10 until you see it counts all 38 chest back in Taleville's progression book.

4. Where does the achievement "pop" at?

The final chest is just before you fight the father giant boss in chapter 14. For me, it did NOT unlock after I opened it, NOR did it unlock after I beat the father giant boss. After you beat the father giant and come to the grade screen, go back to Taleville and check to make sure the final chests from Chapter 14 registered. Once you see they have been registered, play Chapter 15 and watch all of the credits, this is where it unlocked FOR ME.

DO NOT quit until you receive the grade for Chapter 15 after you watch the credits...very important. This, perhaps, could be another spot that causes your achievement to glitch. I just continued to play and, for me, the achievement unlocked right after the credits just like the difficulty achievements.

5. It HAS unlocked at different times for others

I believe if you go through one playthrough, it should unlock after the credits. However, if you are bouncing around, like my buddy Thanatos03 it will unlock at a random grade screen. He replayed the treasure chest over a few times, but did not do his in order. I think he finally started crossing them off with the guide on Chapter 7 and when he finished 15 he didn't get it. So, he went back to Chapter 1 and when he got through to Chapter 7--where he started crossing them off--it still didn't unlock for him. He just kept playing through and his unlocked after Chapter 9 on the grade page.

This isn't going to happen for everyone; it's just another example. However, do it from start to finish to avoid this from happening. Don't jump around.

6. On enemies accidentally opening chests.

I, along with Caltrop, can confirm that if an enemy opens a chest by trying to shoot you or kill you, they still count towards you opening it. If this happens, still go back to the progressions book and make sure all the chests were counted. For me, I would always listen for the "choir-like" chime that you hear after opening a chest.

7. If that doesn't work.

As another option if the above doesn't help...I would delete anything and everything Fairytale Fights from your hard drive and replay the game on easy doing the same things above. Clear your file, BUT ONLY, if you have every other achievement. If you delete your file, you will lose all of your money towards the statue and 1 million achievements, so do this only if you have this achievement left.

In closing

I know some of the above has been said, but with achievements like this, a recap of a heavy commented solution is always nice, in my opinion. These are only mine and my friends personal experiences and it may not be the exact same for you. However, using the method above, I got mine on the first play through.

If you find something different or do not agree with the above, please comment why instead of just leaving a negative vote....that doesn't really help anyone. Hope this helps and Good Luck!

I have been able to confirm with several playthroughs, that if you do not get the sound effect confirming you opened the chest (angel sound), you will NOT get credit for opening that chest. I've had this happen in multiple levels, but particularly chapter 10 at (you guessed it), chests 10 & 11 (the chest behind the waterfall, and the invisible sword). So make sure you hear the confirmation, or you won't get credit.

I hope this is the right place to post this, (if not, my apologies) but I thought this was kind of pertinent and ties into all of the previously posted solutions. So, I was playing through chapter 10 to get the treasure chests, and I noticed a couple of things after playing chapter 10, like, a dozen times.
1) I had the game music volume most of the way down, game SFX volume all the way up, and the TV turned up fairly loud, so I could listen to music on my computer, and still hear what's going on in the game. Well, after my music had stopped, I continued to play, and noticed that, every time, right when I drop down to the waterfall area, during the cutscene with the drawbridge, the audio goes wonky and starts to flicker between normal and muffled. Every time I tried to get the chest in front of the waterfall while the audio was flickering, it didn't get the choir-like noise (angel sound, etc.) like the rest of the chests do, and I ended up with 37 chests registered. After repeated attempts with the same results, I tried something different. Before I opened chest 10 (in front of the waterfall), I killed the 3 dudes in the area, and then hit the switch to slow down the gator-chomper things. As soon as I hit the switch and they slowed down, the audio went back to normal. I went and opened chest 10, and bingo, we have a winner (finally!). I went on to get all 38 chests in chapter 10, something I've been unable to do until then. I'm wondering if the gator-chompers at moving at high speed are what causes the audio, and therefore, the treasure chest noise, to glitch. Maybe not, but it IS worth trying if you find yourself in the same situation I was (and apparently, a lot of people are). 2) The same type of audio glitch happened when I got to the fountain near the end, by chests 32 and 33, before the scene change. I was able to find a spot next to each chest, where the audio stopped flickering as long as I didn't move too far from that spot, and was able to open both chests with the choir-like sound. This happened on the same playthrough as the other glitch, and just to reiterate, I did get all 38 chests on that playthrough. Hopefully, this might be of use to someone else down the road. I know I was relieved to finally get all the chests in chapter 10. :)

Edit: Sweet! I just got the achievement. I had to replay a couple other chapters, but I didn't have to replay chapter 10. So, that means erverything I previously stated worked, at least for me. Hopefully, it will work for others, as well. :)

Edit: I've noticed that a lot if people (including myself), are/were ending up with 35/38 or 37/38 chests. This would make sense if the audio is wonky only while opening chest 10 (37/38), or if it is wonky while opening chests 10, 32, and 33 (35/38). And since you can toggle the audio flicker on and off simply by moving around chests 32 and 33, it makes sense that you would get seemingly random chest totals. Although I don't think it is as ramdom as it first appears. If you keep getting one of these chest totals, try what I did. I'm curious if the audio is a problem for just me, or if that is what is giving everyone problems.

Also, it might be worth noting that I did NOT do these in order, at all. I don't think I had even replayed every single one of the stages this last go around. And, I'm almost certain I didn't play them all on the same difficulty setting this last go round. (working on finishing up on hard, as well)

Thanks to every one of the people involved with , especially to Bacon for putting this up, and double especially to CloudedJudgement for writing this awesome list. Without their efforts, I'm not sure I'd have ever received this achievement. You all rock!
