Started a new project this weekend

I never kept track of the chests i found, so now I'm going through and checking every chest location. I'll also be grabbing any stray spincrystals while I'm at it. This is the progress i made today and yesterday (after getting lantern rite stuff done, of course)

god damn, i hate double checking back for an occasional oculus i missed, i could never do it for everything.

CroadNation2026-02-02 08:35

Yea... I'm really not looking forward to doing this in sumeru

birger672026-02-02 10:52

nowadays Oculus is the least of you problems, just use "Oculus resonance stone" and Bobs yer Uncle ;)

nothing like that in 1.0 when people fought hard to get full stamina meter, with Liyue and Mondstadt as the only providers

it was uphill both ways to school lol

xADDBx2026-02-02 15:29

Using screenshot of the map on some guide website to check spot by spot which ones you’ve missed was so tedious

k0m0lika2026-02-02 08:30

Man I am still finding chests after 100% -ing Monstadt and Dragonspine, I even use the online interactive map!

I just feel dumb when I do that 😭

CroadNation2026-02-02 08:33

FR! I thought i did a good job combing through stormterror's lair back in the day, but nearly half the chests were unopened

k0m0lika2026-02-02 08:36

LMAO same, I found like 3 chests there the other day!

Holiday-Buy-02026-02-02 08:35

use the compass. Then u can basically ignore every chest pin and only just walk everywhere while getting all non chest markers. Unless u wanna be 1000% sure :D

Zedoclyte2026-02-02 09:17

I did this twice and still managed to miss 2 chests in liyue and mondstadt

there are basically no good video guides and the interactive map pins for liyue and mondstadt are really terrible, they're either in the wrong place or the 'guide' attached is for a different chest

save your sanity and maybe don't do this

as of inazuma there are a couple of really good follow along guides on youtube, i especially liked reader gaming since they didn't fast forward any footage and you can actually keep pace with them, and they have a guide for every area upto nod krai

but as of nod krai the guides are just about useless anyway unfortunately since the compass gets everything except a handful of chests [and there are good video guides for getting those, but most of them are in japanese/chinese

good luck

CroadNation2026-02-02 09:23

I was afraid that might be the case when one of the puzzle chest pins read "this is just a patch of carrots, there is no chest for collecting them".

I'll probably stick with the pins until after i finish monstadt since it has the most simple terrain. After that I'll swap to video guides. Thx for the recommendation!

Zedoclyte2026-02-02 09:28

yeah its so annoying, I even reported a few of them and submitted the correct guide but I dont think any of them went through

but again as I said good luck I hope you can find all of them !!

Wlibean2026-02-02 11:03

You can also try using the community map. It has a comment section in each pin where people post more explanations, videos, etc.

I personally use the official map to mark the pins and if I have a doubt with something I go look at the community map.

Sasaraixx2026-02-02 10:18

Why is that unfortunate?

Zedoclyte2026-02-02 10:19

unfortunate for the creators, good for us except for the chests that still get missed which is genuinely aggravating

GetFiltered2026-02-02 11:16

What do you mean there isn't?

https://youtu.be/14lFOGoQfDM is an excellent video, he got one for Mondstadt as well.

Zedoclyte2026-02-02 11:19

thats newer than the videos I was looking at when I did it, so its possible that im wrong and there are good ones now, but they still dont apply to people who played in 1.x due to a bunch of bugs in chest counts and bugged chests

but im glad new players have better options, thanks for pointing this out

kirxan2026-02-02 12:04

KimDaoGaming is a channel that makes chest guides. She has Mondstadt guides too. KyoStinV is the goat of exploration guides, although he only started making guides for chests from Sumeru I think. Check them out on YouTube.

BeautyJester2026-02-02 16:32

lepei is the one usually linked genshin wiki, total chest. Just follow the ones linked and you will be fine \~ 9 months player in here and i am only left with Sumeru left to explore. (nod krai was insanely short to explore)

D3m0nSl4y3r20102026-02-02 09:22

Oh god, guys who's gonna tell them?

Seriously though, I started this with Mondstadt about a year ago. Im now done with Mondstadt, Liyue, Dragonspine, Inazuma, Enkonomiya, Chasm and Chenyu Vale. I haven't started with Sumeru yet. If you really want to double check everything, thats gonna take you a while.

My tips:
Do it at your own pace, stop when you dont feel like it, mark the stuff as map marker ig before you go looking for it and divide the subregions into sub areas along paths or natural borders. Also i didn't know until a few months ago, you can use elemental sight on the seelie resting places to find the seelie itself.

Other then that, gl hf, its worth it, knowing that a region is 100% empty is really satisfying

Goodluck! It was so fun to collect them. I still wish they would start doing the auto-tracking like in Infinity Nikki.

Jugatsumikka2026-02-02 10:13

For a very long time, I was not able to connect my game account (PS account) to the interactive map of Infinity Nikki: it is truly a purge to connect your PS account on the game website: you have to connect yourself on the PS website, use your PS account to connect yourself on the publisher website (because you can), then go on the game website to automatically connect your PS account because of your connection on the publisher website (because you can't otherwise), and only then open the interactive map.

But the synchronisation to your in-game data outdo the inconvenience of the purge a thousand fold. The only issues I have are some books that aren't perceived as read for whatever reason.

-perpetuallytired-2026-02-02 10:48

In my case for Infinity Nikki, I purposely started the game on PC (learned my lesson with how it was a hassle in Genshin) so connecting was pretty easy for me.

The interactive map there is pretty convenient. I wish Genshin would do the same since it's pretty hard to play catch-up with exploration + interactive map.

bruhijustdunno2026-02-02 13:50

This is so real, I wish Hvy would follow suit and implement the auto tracking as well!! It has been such a game changer for using the interactive map in Nikki

-perpetuallytired-2026-02-02 14:15

I do send them the request on surveys. I want to explore again but it slows me down to mark one-by-one.

Varaxis2026-02-02 09:45

Some of the pictures people submit are confusing. They picture nearby things, rather than the one the pin refers to. Ran into an obvious chest at Liyue docks, in a building at walkway height that was obvious, went to check it, and the picture showed some obscure one nearby in the rafters. Had to do a double take, only settling after I found the rafter one had its own pin.

Confident_River_35832026-02-02 10:12

Wow, that’s some dedication.I can’t even keep track of all the chests I find! Respect for going through everything so carefully.

completed_intention2026-02-02 10:33

Me personally, I’m going to wait until hoyo revamps the previous regions’ compasses to function like nod-krai’s (cope)

Otacrow2026-02-02 10:39

I've used [MapGenie.io](http://MapGenie.io) and have 100% in all areas. 100% doesn't mean every chest necessarily, but close. If you also run around spamming the Treasure Compass while using it you should be pretty close to vacuuming up every available chest in the game.

GrayInner212026-02-02 10:58

I will just wait for the new treasure compass update, like the luner compass but for every region.

AlucardTeepes2026-02-02 12:02

hell yeah keep going

come back later to tell me about your newly found sumeru ptsd

WeeklyJello66252026-02-02 12:43

I started doing this from Inazuma onwards. The only areas I need to double check are Stormterror and most of Liyue.

McSqueakers2026-02-02 14:09

inb4 hoyo drops an update to the treasure compasses to be like nod krai as soon as you finish

Narrow-Pie-57372026-02-02 14:42

MaJuV2026-02-02 14:55

Good luck with that. And be surprised. Sometimes you'll hit a treasure that's not on any of the popular maps, or of a different varian (making you doubt everything).

AngryLink572026-02-02 15:59

I'd probably recommend you start backwards at Natlan since Liyue and Monstadt provides little to no primos per chest. At least that way if you get burned out, you got burned out getting primos vs negligible materials.
