Rivain Coast Collectibles
Chests
Chest #1 – Winding Shoreline
This chest can be found inside a building.
Chest #2 – Clifftops
To reach this chest you’ll need to solve the puzzle. The solution can be found to the right of the gate.
Across from the gate, head into another building and slide down the ladder. At the bottom, head north to find 3 statues that you’ll need to turn to the correct positions. Once all are aligned a ladder will drop down near the three statues you just moved, giving you access to the chest.
Chest #3 – Warden Castle
To reach this chest in Warden Castle, you’ll need to light three braziers on the ground level in the building across the way from the chest.
The order to light them is as follows: left, right, and middle.
After you light the braziers, head south through the doorway and go up the stairs. Climb up the ledge on your left to reach a stone walkway. Follow it north, heading through the door on the right. Interact with the lever on the wall underneath the three lit braziers, allowing you to reach the chest.
Chest #4 – Warden Castle
This chest can be found in the southern part of the fortress.
Chest #5 – Warden Castle
This chest will be accessible during The Warden Vault quest.
In the training room you’ll find some crystals. Have Taash blow them away.
You’ll then need to grab a wisp. Exit this room and head to the right going outside. Take another right and look up to spot a barrel that can be blown up.
Do so to reveal a ladder then climb up it. At the top, you’ll find the wisp. Bring this back down the stairs to the training room and place it in the pedestal. The door will then open!
Chest #6 – Castle Bailey
Climb up the ladder in the Castle Bailey that you previously revealed using Taash then follow the scaffolding around to another ladder. Take it down to reach this chest.
Chest #7 and Chest #8 – Warden Castle
These chests can be accessed by completing The Warden Vault quest.

To reach this altar, you’ll need to pull out the rock at the base of the stairs.
You’ll then need to climb up and use Taash to ignite the pot. Head to the top level of the structure, where you’ll find the Fen’Harel Altar.
When you activate it, it’ll turn to the northeast. Follow its gaze to the wolf statuette located along the shoreline in a pool of water.
