Ember Isles Chests in Butcher Hero
Ember Isles contains 4 secret chests, listed as #19 through #22 in the full route. On island 9, the search moves from a dark shelf above lava to an outer purple ledge, a root-lined rock platform and a terrace with a bare tree.
Ember Isles Edge Locations
Use the paving as the starting reference for the lava shelf and the purple wall ledge. The tan platform is farther beyond a huge pale bone and roots, while the last chest belongs to the flagstone terrace above curved steps. These landmarks distinguish the four searches without treating every purple surface as the same location.
Chest #19: Dark shelf beside broken rock
Reward: +50 Health Regen and +1% Health Regen
From the paved ground, move toward the small dark shelf overlooking lava and use the broken rock opening to identify the right edge. The chest belongs on the shelf beside that opening, so inspect the transition from paving to dark rock before continuing around the rest of the island's outside surfaces.
Chest #20: Purple ledge outside the paving
Reward: +150 Pierce Defense and +1% Pierce Defense
Follow the curve of the stonework from its exterior and look for the slim purple footing beyond the paving, which is where this pickup sits. Keep the paved wall beside you as you work around the edge; searching only the interior of the curve leaves the ledge outside your path.
Chest #21: Tan platform beyond pale bone
Reward: +200 Smash Damage and +1% Smash Damage
Find the huge pale bone and the tangled roots, then look past them for the tan platform bordering the green area. The destination is the rock edge beyond those landmarks, so pause to compare the adjoining green terrain with the screenshot rather than ending the search as soon as you reach the bone.
Chest #22: Dead tree on flagstone terrace
Reward: a special reward x50
Go above the curved steps to the purple terrace and locate its bare dead tree, keeping the flagstone surface in view as you inspect the chest position. This stop uses the terrace itself, whereas the earlier purple pickup follows an exterior ledge outside a wall, so mark those two searches separately.
Between Shroomvale and Snow
Check Shroomvale if the pipe and platform section still has gaps in your hunt. Your next island checklist is Abandoned Polar Outpost; the map sequence places it after Ember Isles. Keep the master chest route available when comparing rewards from neighbouring islands.
Ember Isles Video Starting Point
This video begins the Ember Isles search at chest #19 on the dark shelf above lava. The timed player then continues through the wall ledge, pale bone area and dead tree terrace.
Watch the paved approach at the beginning if you can see the broken rock opening but cannot locate the small shelf. Later, compare the bone and roots with the green boundary to place the tan platform. The final terrace has a different approach from the outside wall, despite both locations showing purple ground.
Ember Isles Reward Checklist
Health Regen, Pierce Defense and Smash Damage appear across the earlier stops; the terrace supplies a special reward instead. The reward captions under the screenshots retain those distinctions, which lets you identify a remembered pickup by both its scenery and its result. For the terrace reward, use the shown label rather than assigning it an item name.
The later addition on Ember Isles is chest #22, with a special reward x50. Its bare tree and curved steps are the most useful landmarks when a search based on the earlier chests leaves one spot missing. The other locations remain the lava shelf, exterior wall ledge and tan rock by the green boundary.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many secret chests can I find on Ember Isles?
There are 4 chest locations on Ember Isles, covering #19 to #22 in the route. Look for the lava-side dark shelf, the purple strip outside stone paving, the tan rock beyond the pale bone and the terrace beside a dead tree. Each landmark corresponds to its own pickup on island 9.
Where is the chest outside the curved wall?
Chest #20 occupies a small purple ledge on the exterior of the stone paving. Walk around the outside wall to reach that narrow footing and check the position shown in the hero image. The reward is +150 Pierce Defense and +1% Pierce Defense, which separates this ledge pickup from the special reward on the terrace.
Which Ember Isles chest was added in an update?
The later addition is #22, found on the flagstone terrace near the bare tree. Reach the area above the curved stone steps and inspect the purple paving there. Ember Isles has 1 such addition, so a route that ends at the tan platform beyond the bone still leaves this final terrace unchecked.
What does the lava shelf chest award?
The first Ember Isles pickup, #19, gives +50 Health Regen and +1% Health Regen. Approach its dark rock shelf from the paved area and look beside the broken opening above the lava. Use that opening to identify the shelf before comparing rewards, because the other narrow ledge on this island sits outside curved stonework.
How do I recognize the Smash Damage chest?
Chest #21 pays +200 Smash Damage and +1% Smash Damage and stands on tan rock beyond a very large pale bone and tangled roots. Check the edge touching the green area once you get past those landmarks. This location is separate from the bare tree terrace, so the roots and adjoining green ground matter more than purple paving.
