Some of them are hidden behind puzzles but most of the treasure chests are out in the open.

Chest Locations #1 & #2
Location: Dragon Beach, Rivain Coast
Reward: Staggering Vitaar, Paint of Parasites
Puzzle: Light Three Fires to Open Up Door
Ability Required: Ignite
Travel to the beacon down at Dragon Beach at Rivain Coast. Here you will find the chest hidden inside a cave.
Objective: We will need to light up three braziers all scattered in the Dragon Beach.
All the braziers are pretty close to each other, so you will not have to travel too far away to get them all lit up.
- First Brazier: From the beacon turn around, get down on the ground, and climb the ledges on the left to spot the first brazier. Here use the skill Ignite to light it up.
- Second Brazier: Go back down and turn right, head towards the waterfall, and you will find the second Brazier on the right of the cliff. Use Ignite to start a fire on the brazier. Two down, one to go!
- Third Brazier: Turn around and head to the first Brazier location on the ledge, once you are at the spot. Take the path on the right of the brazier. Keep moving forward and you will encounter the third or last brazier on your left. Use Ignite to light it up.
Once all three braziers are lit, you will see a hidden door sliding down, revealing a small hidden cave, next to the third brazier. You will also find a small chest next to the big one opening will give you a Dwarven Key.
Chest #2
From the cave, turn around and take the path on the left, here stick to the trees and eventually, you will see a couple of ledges to your right. Climb on them to get to the chest on the highest ledge.
Chest Location #3
Location: Clifftops, Rivain Coast
Rewards: Spawn Blood
Puzzle: Rotate three statues in the right order.
Objective: Alighning three statues in a perfect order.
Clue: The chest can easily be found but it is locked behind a gate. If you look at the wall on the right of the locked door, you will see three statues at the bottom. Each of the statues is in a different position, this will serve as our clue to solve the puzzle here.
Turn around from the locked door and head through the doorway guarded by two statues with shields on both sides. Here take the ladder to the down floor, head straight and you will encounter three statues.
- First Statue: Don’t interact with the first statue, it is in the correct position, as the handle of the statue will be pointing to the right.
- Second Statue: Interact with the statue in the middle, only twice. Here you will have both the first and the second statues pointing at each other.
- Third Statue: Interact with the statue on the right, but only once, the handle here will point at the wall.
Once all the statues are in the correct order, you will hear the sound of barricades being lifted up. Head back to the locked chest room at Clifftops, by taking the stairs on the right and zipline to get across the platform. Get inside the room and loot the chest.
