Walkthrough

There are five types of hidden locations:

1. Hidden under a rock (there may be several rocks, only one of which reveals the chest)
2. Hidden by crates (stack/move)
3. Hidden by crates that have to be destroyed with a Tree Branch (The Springer's or Raptor's engage skill will also work)
4. A series of checkpoints
5. Interact with nearby objects in some order

The first three hidden caches require the player to pick up an unmarked object. Either the rock itself, a tree branch from a stack of wood with which the nearby crates have to be destroyed or a crate itself, which in return has to be stacked on other nearby crates or moved to match some pattern. Completing each challenge reveals a previously hidden Glorious Canthan Chest.
