How to collect every chest in the game

Chests are located within both towns and dungeons. They contain either money (which will always yield $500), a heart piece, or a stamina luchador mask. As grabbing chests strengthens up Juan and allows you to purchase more items from the shop, it is in your best interest to pick them up regardless if you are going for the trophy. Keep in mind that, although you will run into a majority of the chests if you make an effort to explore each dungeon, some chests are unobtainable the first time you discover them. You must backtrack to these sections of a dungeon once you've acquired the required upgrade.

-Note that 100% in a dungeon accounts for both orbs and treasure chests. Therefore, if it appears you are missing out on a chest, make sure you've grabbed the orb in the dungeon before cross referencing your maps with the maps posted in spoiler tags below.
-The numbers in the maps correspond to the text no to the videos.
-Text locations and video aids (courtesy of MainGameProduction) of each area are listed below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3I031tqkmE

2- Inside the second trunk, you should see in the bottom right corner an invisible block. Drop down here to a maze like room. Make your way through with Swap to reach the chest. (Heart)

Third part

Temple of War

1- After crossing some lava you’ll fight two skeletons in two different dimensions. Dispose of them and look up to see a red block. You'll see the chest before going to the next screen. (Money)

4- Head back up from the previous chest and go through the flying pillars on the left. You must use the pillars so that you’re grabbing them on the left side to get up. (Money)

10- Continue progressing up in the dungeon until you see a path heading down that you can drop down by warping back and forth. Instead go up to reach another puzzle. The trick here is to perform a jump as the moving spike block is right beside you, than double jump, derpderp, so you can latch on to the wall on the right. Once the spikes are outta the way, its just a matter of jumping off and uppercutting to reach the platform, than using the chicken form to get on top of the spikes.(Money)
11- Continue down by alternating realms. Defeat the skeleton and destroy the blue block you come across, then wall jump up to reach yet another shop. You should see a blue block on the left here. Destroy it to reveal another chest. (Money)

13,14- After the boss fight in this dungeon, can't miss them. Two chests. (Mask)(Money)
15- After free falling down the next section, instead of leaving the room to the right, cling to the right wall and use your newly learned Goat Climb to climb back up. You’ll destroy a block revealing a hidden area, which also houses a chest. (Mask)

2- Continue through the dungeon and you’ll run come to an area where you have to go up a wall and switch dimensions back and forth to avoid the vines. Here, you should see the chest on the other side. To get it, climb up and drop down to the chest. (Money)
3- In the open area with all the chupacabras, there's a slighting obscured chest hidden in the mid left of this area. Either jump to the platform or fall from above to reach it. (Money)
4- After learning the ever so useful Goat Fly, on the third chance you get to use it, climb up a little until you can grab on to a wall on the right. Fly back left and you’ll enter a upper portion of this area. Inside is a blue block, and a chest is behind it.(Money)
5- Jump back down and rather then using the supposed wall to fly, jump down near the bottom of the screen for another wall. Fly here, and you’ll fly underneath to a hidden area. Perform wall jumps, run, and fly to reach the chest at the top. (Heart)
6- After defeating the boos fight in this dungeon, next to the Olmec Head. (Money)
7- Behind the Olrec Head. Can't miss it. (Mask)

Great Temple

1- After the first arena battle against yellow skeletons, go left to a room full of barrels instead of up. A chest will be blending in on the top left corner. (Money)

5- After completing a short portal puzzle, you should eventually see a portal to your left that you can't seem to gain access to. Turn into a chicken here to drop into a slightly obscured hole to reveal a path to it. (Money)
6- Fight through an Arena full of shielded Aluxes and this will be your reward at the end. Walk through the left exit in the Arena. (Money)
7- Go through some more portals, past yet another arena battle with clawed skeletons. Rather than continue right, go left and frog slam down to create a shortcut in this dungeon. Notice a yellow block here. Behind it is a chest. (Heart)
8- You will run into this chest as you're jumping up floating platforms, can't miss it. (Money)
9- You will also run into this after wallrunning up some floating pillars, can't miss it. (Money)
10- After going through some diagonal portals and checkpoint-ing at another shop, you have the opportunity to drop down and create a third shortcut. Similar to another chest, there is a path here on the right you can go into. Complete this short portal puzzle to claim the chest. (Money)

Bro where's Pico de Gallo?

Dangerous Beans 12 Sep, 2022 @ 3:39pm

And the band member.

Dangerous Beans 12 Sep, 2022 @ 3:36pm

Ugh. I got everything (I think) in Santa Luchita, but the medallion on the map is still bronze instead of gold.

I found Error and the giant chicken.

Mothman 28 Mar, 2020 @ 10:38am

The first chest in temple of war is purple in my game and not red. You can destroy it by turning into a chicken, lay a chicken bomb, jump and lay a second chicken bomb in mid air to stack up the bombs. When the first bomb explodes, the second one gets thrown up. Thanks to Liam Harper who commented this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yi6CLtmwxE

@FoSP

The first chest in Forest del Chivo is the orb for STCE version.

灬落花无情 10 Jun, 2019 @ 4:45pm

Pico de Gallo 怎么没有，我就差这里了

drifter 22 May, 2019 @ 9:06am

Thank you very much @Lecia. Finished all the achievement and your guide is a big help. There are some places not available though. Like the canal and others. But still helps a lot.

I'm playing the STCE version. I didn't see the difference between the maps here and maps in the game.

I finished the game without getting all the orbs. I also cheated and got a walkthrough for the orbs. Mind said why should I search the maps? I don't want to go back and forth. In short was lazy. In orbs, I think I can't find the orb in the forest without a guide for it. I mean how can you find that? i feel it's impossible XD. Man I love this game. This genre is my type of game.

When I finished the game, (ending 1). Started going through game guides. By chance I saw something that I didn't noticed, when you look at the map "tab" and press "m" you can know you found all the chest in the area when the medal like symbol on a place turns to "yellow or gold". if not the color is "orange or bronze".

RogellParadox 19 May, 2019 @ 3:58pm

Is there any way to know how many treasures I got so far?

FoSP 18 May, 2019 @ 9:01pm

I seriously would love if there was a version of this guide for STCE.
I'm having a bit of trouble with the first chest in Forest del Chivo considering where that chest is in Gold is now the entrance to Canal de las Flores in STCE.
I'm just a completionist hog and want to get 100% just for the true ending, even if you only need the orbs for the true ending (I think).

Gabe Puratekuta 31 Jan, 2019 @ 5:27pm

You can probably submit this to the STCE version with a few changes. For example, the one in Juan's house needs the Pollo Bomb to get as well as the first chest in the Temple of War
