Black Beacon Artwork 5

Collecting secret chests and finding hidden loot is both rewarding and essential for maxing progress in Black Beacon. Here’s your 2025 guide for locating every chest, understanding how the collectible system works, and pro tips on maximizing your rewards.

How Do Secret Chests and Hidden Collectibles Work?

  • Chest Tracking: Each chapter/stage lists collectible chests at the bottom of the stage selection screen. Collected chests appear yellow; missing/unfound chests are shown in gray.​
  • Rewards: Chests include Rune Shards, Orelium, upgrade mats, and sometimes premium currency or costume fragments.​
  • Replayable: Missed chests can always be collected by replaying the stage, tracked visually via the stage menu.​

Where to Find Secret Chests and Hidden Spots

General Tips (All Chapters)

  • Switch to Isometric Camera: Lets you spot chests in hard-to-see corners and behind objects.​
  • Explore Non-Story Rooms: Hidden chests are often off the main path, in side rooms, behind destructibles, or atop alternate stairways.​
  • Look for Glows/Particles: Subtle white glows, anomaly orbs, or destructible walls may mark chest locations.​
  • Use Synergy Skills: Some chests require breaking barriers with specific character skills (e.g., Florence’s Fire combo).​
  • NPC Interactions: Dialogue with certain NPCs can spawn or unlock chests mid-stage.​
  • Mechanism Triggers: Use Cosmos’s pendant to stop time, freeze obstacles, or reveal hidden chests (often requires solving a puzzle or hitting a mechanism five times).​
  • Stage Completion Marker: After clearing a stage, a chest icon appears on the ground in each location when replaying a level, just follow these to the chest spot.​
