Sun Isles Chests in Butcher Hero
Sun Isles has 2 secret chests on island 5: #5, #6 in the wider route. One hides behind dark pillars by the water; the other requires walking into dense jungle behind hanging roots.
Sun Isles Pillars and Roots
Separate the two searches before you begin. The waterside chest uses stone pillars and a small green shelf as landmarks. The jungle chest uses hanging roots and thick foliage instead. Finding one of these settings does not mean you have checked the other, even though both belong to the same island.
Chest #5: Pillars facing the water
Reward: +100 Cut Defense and +1% Cut Defense
Circle the tall pillars until you are on their water-facing side. Look for the small green shelf behind the stone rather than searching only between the pillars from the inland side.
Chest #6: Behind hanging roots
Reward: +5 Pierce Damage and +1% Pierce Damage
Move beyond the hanging roots and into the greenery itself. The chest can remain concealed by the foliage, so watch for Open while you advance through that specific patch.
For the pillar stop, compare which side of the stone faces the water before copying the final position. A matching pillar shape from the inland side is only a partial match. At the roots stop, visibility is the main obstacle: the greenery hides the destination rather than simply marking the edge of a clear platform. These are different approaches, so use the correct screenshot for each detour.
Compare Sun Isles Rewards
The waterside find improves Cut Defense, while the root-hidden find improves Pierce Damage. Both payouts include a flat amount and a percentage, but they affect different named stats. If you collected a defense bonus and still need the damage one, return to the jungle approach instead of circling the pillars again. The reward pictures make a useful second check when both locations feel familiar.
- Chest #5: +100 Cut Defense and +1% Cut Defense
- Chest #6: +5 Pierce Damage and +1% Pierce Damage
Dragon Access to Sun Isles
A player reports that the fifth area opened after killing a dragon.
Watch Both Jungle Detours
The Sun Isles playback begins at its first chest beside the pillars, then continues to the root-covered hiding place. Keep watching through both stops to compare the waterside circle with the move into dense vegetation.
Across the Sun Isles Borders
Behind Sun Isles in the sequence is Desert Mines; the next checklist is Candyland. Use the all-island chest guide when comparing the size of those searches. The map walkthrough gives the surrounding island order.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many chests are hidden on Sun Isles?
Sun Isles contains 2 chests, #5, #6, on island 5. Divide the hunt into a waterside pillar search and a jungle-root search. The pair of chest cards above shows both destinations, so checking only the green shelf beside the water leaves the foliage location still to visit.
Where is chest 5 on Sun Isles?
Chest #5 occupies a little green shelf behind tall dark pillars near the water. Walk around to the side that faces the water to reach the described position. Its reward is +100 Cut Defense and +1% Cut Defense, which distinguishes this find from the Pierce Damage chest deeper in the greenery.
How do I find chest 6 behind the roots?
The second Sun Isles stop, #6, sits in thick jungle beyond hanging tree roots. Continue into that foliage until Open appears rather than waiting for an unobstructed view from outside. Its payout is +5 Pierce Damage and +1% Pierce Damage, so the damage reward also helps identify which of the island’s finds you collected.
Does a dragon open Sun Isles?
Players report that defeating a dragon opened the fifth area, Sun Isles. Treat that as a player-reported access detail for island 5. Once you arrive, the chest hunt itself uses the waterside pillars and hanging roots described here; the dragon note does not change either chest’s listed position.
