In the game Where Winds Meet, you get to explore a vast open world and live out your martial arts dreams in this Wuxia action RPG. You can learn fighting skills that help you defeat any enemy, whether big or small. Your main goals may be to seek revenge for fallen loved ones or choose to commit crimes—your decisions shape your story.
One challenge you’ll face are locked treasure chests. These can be tricky for beginners, but there are multiple ways to open them. Finding treasure can be a game-changer, enhance your exploration, and even save your life.
Where To Find Locked Chests
Once you reach Kaifeng, you’ll discover a new city filled with many hidden treasures, most behind locked chests. You can find these chests guarding the riverbanks or along lesser-used roads with traveling merchants. You’ll know a chest is locked when it shines with a gold glow and can’t be opened without a lockpicking mini-game.
How To Lockpick Chests
To unlock a chest, you’ll need to play a puzzle mini-game. Be careful not to get seen while lockpicking. If NPCs notice you, they might tell you to leave or even fight you. When you’re in position and interact with the lock, the puzzle begins.
The lockpicking puzzle involves aligning pieces of the lock’s tumblers to form a picture. The difficulty increases with your level. When all pieces seem to fit together, listen for a soft click—it confirms you’re on the right track. When the picture aligns perfectly, the chest unlocks. Be quick to loot the contents before anyone catches you!
You might see patterns like:
- The Tiger
- The Serpent
- The Dragon
- The Horse
If you’re stuck, look for hints or clues left by other players around the area to solve the puzzle.
Note: If sneaking isn’t your style, you can also eliminate NPCs guarding the chest. Just be aware that this might increase your bounty, leading to future trouble.
Opening Guarded Chests Without Lockpicking
For heavily guarded chests or dangerous locations, you can avoid lockpicking altogether by using a martial arts ability called Celestial Seize. This technique allows you to remotely retrieve items from the chest, confusing the guards.
To learn Celestial Seize, head to Qinghe at Heaven’s Pier and complete the Foul Play quest. During a drinking contest, you must steal a vial hidden on some crates. Successfully doing this unlocks the martial art, which you can then use at your discretion.
Warning: Not all locked chests can be opened this way. Some will require the mini-game, especially if the chance to use Celestial Seize is zero percent.
