Tchia is a beautiful action adventure that takes you on a journey in a stunning tropical open-world environment. Among the many things you can do, you can take time to hunt down hidden treasure scattered around. Since you are given such freedom, you are not always given much direction. So, finding said treasure can be tough at times. We’ll highlight all of the treasure map locations in Tchia so you can get every hidden chest.
All Treasure Map Locations in Tchia
There are 21 treasure map locations in Tchia. Once you visit Weliwele, speak to Gabby as she will give you a map. This is the first treasure chest you can collect. From there, you will get the key to open the next chest, and so on and so forth. As such, the treasure chest are found in order since you can’t open one without opening the previous one.
Before we hunt down the treasure map locations, we recommend completing another Tchia feature first: “Attract Animals” melody. When playing on your Ukulele, you attract animals in an area to come to you. It’s useful for treasure hunting as some areas require you to soul-jump into an animal to get to the chest.
To get this melody, you must complete a Rock Balancing challenge. From there, play FEED in order to lure the animals.
Additionally, you’ll need to start Chapter V if you want to complete all the treasure hunting as some maps are inaccessible until later in the main game.
Lastly, make sure you’ve unlocked the fast travel feature. This will greatly speed up the process.
Now, let’s get to those treasure map locations.
