Nightwood Chests in Butcher Hero
Nightwood's 4 hidden chests occupy route positions #47, #48, #49, #50 on island 16. Two collection spots use purple roofs, while the others hide behind a dead tree and among evergreens at a graveyard corner.
Nightwood Roof and Tree Stops
Identify the first roof by its connection to the hillside. A wooden beam links the building to the slope, and the collection platform stands beside the cliff. The other roof has evergreens around it and a stone bridge nearby. Those access landmarks distinguish the two purple surfaces before you start looking for the chest itself.
Chest #47: Beam to the roof platform
Reward: +2.8K Cut Damage and +1% Cut Damage
Locate the beam between the hillside and the building, then follow it onto the purple-roofed platform. Keep this beam crossing in mind so you do not confuse the first roof with the smaller roof beside the stone bridge.
Chest #48: Behind the dead tree
Reward: two +1% defense bonuses
Circle the bare trunk at the outer edge near the stone wall. The green liquid identifies the surroundings, but the hiding place is behind the dead tree, so a view from its front can miss the chest.
Chest #49: Small roof by the bridge
Reward: +100K Health and +1% Health
Pick out the little purple roof framed by evergreens next to the stone bridge. Match that bridge in the screenshot before checking the roof, since the earlier platform also uses purple roofing.
Chest #50: Evergreen graveyard corner
Reward: +5K Smash Defense and +1% Smash Defense
At the graveyard corner, enter the evergreen cover immediately beside the wall. Search inside that tree cluster instead of waiting for an unobstructed view from the open ground; the route describes the chest as hidden among those trees.
The tree locations need a similar distinction. The dead tree stands beside a stone wall and bright green liquid, with the chest behind its trunk. The final stop uses a cluster of evergreens in a graveyard corner. One asks you to circle a single bare tree; the other asks you to enter the trees beside a wall.
Nightwood Bonuses Worth Matching
Nightwood's opening roof supplies Cut Damage, the bare tree offers percentage defense bonuses, and the smaller roof carries Health. Smash Defense comes from the hidden graveyard corner. Match those categories to the reward pictures if you remember collecting a bonus but cannot remember the scenery. The Health and defense reference explains the difference between the named stats.
Watch the Nightwood Approach
Jump into Nightwood at chest #47, where the hero uses a wooden beam to reach the purple-roofed platform. The next part of this recording shows the dead tree, smaller roof and concealed graveyard corner in their route order.
The footage gives the roof crossings context that a still picture cannot show. Watch the beam linking the first building and hillside, then compare the smaller roof's position beside the stone bridge. For the last chest, focus on where the hero enters the evergreens near the wall. That movement matters when the branches hide the collection point.
Nightwood Reports and Onward Route
Players report that enemies on Nightwood wield hammers and are weak to axes. They also report that the Reaper can appear on this island. Treat these as encounter notes while planning a visit, and inspect the game's current island information when choosing your weapons. Those reports do not turn a tree or rooftop chest into an enemy reward.
Players report two dragons here as well. The dragon encounter page covers that part of progression. If you are returning only for a missed chest, keep the chest pictures ready so the reported encounters do not distract you from distinguishing the wall corner, bare tree and roof positions.
Land of the Damned precedes Nightwood in the numbered island sequence. After this forest search, the remaining island page is Vampire's Sanctum. The map's island table keeps those numbers together, and the full hidden chest route carries the hunt beyond the islands into tower arenas.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many chest locations does Nightwood have?
Nightwood contributes 4 chests, #47, #48, #49, #50, to the numbered walkthrough. The route includes a beam crossing to a roof, a dead tree by green liquid, another roof between evergreens and a hidden corner among trees. None of these Nightwood entries is marked as a later addition, so check all of them when comparing your island progress.
Where is the large Health chest in Nightwood?
Chest #49 sits on a small purple roof between evergreen trees near a stone bridge. It grants +100K Health and +1% Health. This roof differs from the first stop, which uses a wooden beam between a building and hillside. Use the stone bridge and the surrounding evergreens to pick the Health location out of the two roof screenshots.
How do I find Nightwood's graveyard corner chest?
For #50, walk into the evergreen trees beside the wall at the graveyard corner. The reward is +5K Smash Defense and +1% Smash Defense. The chest hides among the trees, so recognizing the corner matters more than seeing an exposed lid from the path. Compare the wall position in the image before leaving the graveyard to search another roof.
Are there dragons or a Reaper in Nightwood?
Players report two dragons in Nightwood and say the Reaper can appear here. They also describe hammer using enemies that are weak to axes. These are player reports about island 16; the chest search itself uses the roof, dead tree and graveyard landmarks. Prepare for encounters separately from checking which hidden reward you still need.
