Ancient Workshop Chests in Butcher Hero
Ancient Workshop has 4 hidden chests on island 12, numbered #31 to #34 across the complete route. Snowy shelves lead behind a stone face and past cyan pipes, while the last pickup waits inside the teal tower's mouth-shaped entrance.
Onward From the Workshop
Your previous checklist is Twisted Island; the next belongs to Lost Ship. Return to the complete secret chest guide when checking route numbers across that boundary, and use the island progression map to place Ancient Workshop between the two.
Ancient Workshop Snow Shelf Searches
Start by going around the stone face on its right, then look for the thin timber crossing the dark gap. After the beam stop, return your attention to the snowy shelf by the cyan pipes before entering the teal tower. The tower chest is indoors at its base, unlike the shelf and beam searches that precede it.
Chest #31: Right side of the stone face
Reward: +1.5K Pierce Defense and +1% Pierce Defense
Circle the large carved face on the right and use the snowy footing behind it to reach the concealed shelf, keeping the stone face as your reference. A frontal view of the face does not expose this pickup, so continue around its side until the narrow shelf behind the landmark matches the screenshot.
Chest #32: Timber across the dark gap
Reward: a special reward x1
Find the thin wooden beam leaving the snowy border and follow it over the dark opening to its far end, where the chest stands. Check the beam's destination before turning back to the snow; the starting edge alone is only the approach, and the chest is out across the gap on the timber.
Chest #33: Snow shelf alongside cyan pipes
Reward: +1K Smash Damage and +1% Smash Damage
Look along the cyan pipes for a narrow band of snow between the icy structures and purple rock, then inspect that band beside the pipework. This route uses the shelf itself rather than the top of a pipe, so keep both the purple face and the icy structures in view to place the chest correctly.
Chest #34: Mouth doorway in the teal tower
Reward: +150 Health Regen and +1% Health Regen
Approach the bottom of the large teal tower and enter through the opening shaped like a mouth, continuing into the base to reach the pickup. The tower's height can draw your eye upward, but the doorway at ground level is the useful landmark; checking the surrounding snow leaves the interior chest unvisited.
Replay the Workshop Chest Trail
Ancient Workshop playback jumps to its opening pickup, chest #31, behind the stone face. Follow the footage around the right side before comparing the beam crossing, cyan pipe shelf and final tower entrance.
The face and tower stops reward different movements: circle behind the stone landmark for the first, then enter the teal structure for the last. Watch the intervening beam to see how far it extends beyond the snowy edge. Near the pipes, compare the shelf's position between ice and purple rock before searching higher up.
Ancient Workshop Dragon Report
Players report a dragon at Ancient Workshop.
The reported dragon is another reason to prepare for a visit, but it does not change which structures identify the chests. The stone face, wooden beam, cyan pipes and teal doorway provide the route references. Consult the guide to dragons when planning the encounter alongside your search through the workshop.
The workshop rewards include Pierce Defense behind the face, a special reward at the beam, Smash Damage by the pipes and Health Regen within the tower. Keeping those results paired with their landmarks is useful if you remember an earlier pickup but cannot recall which part of the snowy area it belonged to.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many secret chests does Ancient Workshop have?
Ancient Workshop contains 4 chests, assigned #31 through #34 in route order. The stone face, beam over a dark gap, cyan pipe shelf and teal tower each identify a stop on island 12. Include the tower interior in your sweep, since the snowy outdoor shelves account for only part of the collection.
Which side of the stone face leads to the chest?
For chest #31, go around the stone face's right side and follow the thin snowy shelf behind it. This route leads to +1.5K Pierce Defense and +1% Pierce Defense. The front of the landmark is useful for recognizing the face, but the pickup itself is reached by continuing onto the shelf hidden at the back.
Where does the Ancient Workshop beam lead?
The slender wooden beam from the snowy edge leads across a dark gap to chest #32. Walk along the timber until its far end to reach the pickup, which gives a special reward x1. It is the workshop's beam stop, separate from the narrow snow route behind the face and the shelf by the cyan pipes.
What reward comes from the teal tower chest?
Chest #34 gives +150 Health Regen and +1% Health Regen. Reach it by entering the mouth-like doorway in the base of the large teal tower, which is also the structure shown in the hero image. The relevant search is inside that entrance, so tracing the outside of the tower does not reach the pickup.
Are there later update chests at Ancient Workshop?
The later-update field marks none of Ancient Workshop's 4 entries. Its route covers #31, #32, #33 and #34, with the cyan pipe shelf before the tower interior. If you have already found the tower pickup, check the face's rear shelf and the far end of the wooden beam when reviewing the remaining spots.
