Treasure chests are scattered across the overworld and dungeons of Philabieldia, and come in three colors with different contents. This page lists every chest confirmed so far, across all four ages: the Age of Safekeeping, the Age of Reconstruction, the Age of Magic, and the Age of Budding. Because the world changes between ages, a chest can sit in the same region but a different spot from one era to the next. See Exploration and Puzzles for the wider collectible system and Items for what the rewards do.
Chest Types
Color | What It Holds |
|---|---|
Blue Chest | Common chests in the overworld and smaller dungeons; tul, magicite fragments, low-level magicite, blue keys, and progression items |
Red Chest | Found in dungeons; valuable rewards and red keys needed to progress |
Green Chest | Locked behind platforming and puzzles; rarer magicite and larger tul rewards |
A reward shown with a star, such as Shield Repair (★), is a piece of magicite of that rarity. Shards of Life permanently raise Elliot's maximum Life when four are collected.

Collectibles Overview
Beyond the colored chests, the world holds several collectible systems that the chests feed into. The four ages share a common map, so collectibles recur across eras in changed positions.
Manuscripts are lore items scattered through the world; once found, they can be re-read at any time at the Orphanage. Cats are hidden across the ages, and collecting them unlocks milestone rewards such as the Cat Needle, a Bomb Pouch, a Quiver, a Golden Egg, and the Medal of the Katzenmeister. Shards of Life remain the route to a permanent maximum-Life increase: collecting four of them grants one extra point of maximum Life. Exact totals and the precise locations of these collectibles vary by age and should be treated as approximate.
The treasure chests themselves come in the three confirmed types described above. Blue chests are the common overworld and minor-dungeon variety, Red chests sit in dungeons and often hold keys needed to progress, and Green chests are gated behind platforming and puzzles and tend to hold rarer magicite or larger tul rewards. The two later eras hold their own chests as well, and both are listed in the sections above.
