Secret Locations

During the Second Panda Rescue

Secret chest 1.jpg

During the second Rescue the Pandas objective, there is an altar on one of the small areas nearby that will reveal an obsidian chest if you approach it.

Inside the Tree House

Secret chest 2.jpg

You will pass by some tree houses while searching for the rescued pandas. Inside one of these is a secret chest! You can also go inside the others as they may contain jars with emeralds.

Chest Locations

Chest on the Bridge

Chest 1.jpg

This bridge can be found on one of the mini-dugeons in this mission. You can't miss this one as you will literally need to walk past it to reach the end of the mini-dungeon.

Guarded by Poison Quill Vines

Chest 2.jpg

You can also find another chest lying around on one of the narrow areas being guarded by poison quill vines although the image above shows none of them since they have been already cut down.

Another Chest Lying Around

Chest 3.jpg

This one is in the middle of the path so it is more difficult to miss.

Inside the Slime Farm

Chest 4.jpg

You can find this house near the end of the mission. You just need to activate the button at the corner to open the gate for the chest.

Secret Panda Cave

A secret panda area may appear during the Enjoy the Party objective. It won't be that difficult to find since it's entrance will appear on the map once you get near enough. Just keep on searching the panda area and if it didn't appear, you might need to play the mission again before it does.

You can also check your map if there are still undiscovered chests since this secret panda area contains a lot of chests.

Tips & Strategies

Search Every Portion of the Map

The secrets and chests in this mission are not very difficult to find so you'll only need to at least uncover them on the map.

Most of the chests are found in mini-dungeons and one of these is the secret panda area!
