OMG fellow Travelers! 🏃♀️💨 I just spent three whole days combing through Natlan's Ancient Sacred Mountain – that massive underground playground beneath Atocpan's volcano – and let me tell you, it's like stumbling into a dragon's hoard where every nook hides glittering surprises! 🔥✨ When I first met that adorable little Saurian companion during the Archon Quest prologue, I never imagined it'd unlock this labyrinth of secrets. HoYo's really outdone themselves this time, burying chests like a squirrel hiding winter nuts in a cosmic forest 🌰🌌 – you think you've found them all until another glowing block winks at you from the shadows. That moment when you shatter Pulverite with a Tatankasaurus charge? Pure dopamine! 💥
Let's break down my treasure map 🗺️💎. Start at Flame-Melding Ritual Grounds' farthest waypoint – indwell a Tatankasaurus immediately and RAM southeast Pulverite for a Common Chest after defeating the guardian. Teleport to the central waypoint next, sprint east to find a lone glowing block. That dino-slam attack? Makes the ground crumble like stale cornbread 🦖🍞 revealing a sub-level! Clear all Pulverites here to uncover another block leading DOWNWARD where the REAL loot hides atop a Dragon Idol. But WAIT – activating that idol rockets you to mountaintop where you'll:
-
Indwell Qucusaur 🦅
-
Fly north to floating islands (3 chests guaranteed!)
-
Spot nests at island's edge → "Dig" for bonus chest
Now dive into Sea of Shifting Sentience – it's a puzzle paradise! 🔍⚙️ Northeast waypoint → northern edge for explosive fun:
-
Find Yumkasaurs duo
-
Grab exploding plant 🌱💣
-
Hurl at Pulverite → chest spawns
Underneath Ruined Armament Workshop waypoint? More Pulverite! Tatankasaurus-charge it like a bull in a crystal shop 🐂💎. Then head southwest from Sea's southeast waypoint – spot a Phlogiston rock wall. RAM through it (enemy alert!) for hidden chest. Feeling competitive? Race Tatankasaurus near Heart of Force Inversion's lower waypoint – win for chest loot! 🏁
Pro tip: Waterwheel mechanics near the race spot are devious! 💧🔄 Destroy the temporary Phlogiston rock while it spins – chest appears BRIEFLY like a mirage in Sumeru's desert 🏜️👀. Persistence pays! Elsewhere:
-
South of Force Inversion: Defeat Furnace Shell Weasel → Dig spot!
-
Lava pool edge: Box-stepping puzzle (avoid bombs 💣)
-
Ruined Workshop southeast: Ride flying Dragon Idol → pull switch → Exquisite Chest
My personal MVPs? The Oozing Core destruction sites! South of Sea of Shifting Sentience:
-
Glide via Yumkasaurus 🪂
-
Grab exploding plants → obliterate cores → CHEST
Or south of Ruined Workshop – Tatankasaurus-sprint through cores like a bowling ball through pins 🎳💥. Precious Chest alert! For hardcore hunters:
| Location | Method | Chest Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Sea of Shifting Sentience SE | Destroy Oozing Cores with explosives | Precious 💰 |
| Flame-Melding lower level | Glide down → break marked Pulverites | Precious 💰 |
| Heart of Force Inversion edge | Tatankasaurus-sprint through Oozing Cores | Precious 💰 |
That moment uncovering chests under boxes near Pseudostar Pedestal? Pure ASMR satisfaction – like cracking open a geode to find amethyst glittering inside 💜⛏️. Future wish?
