As a long-time Diablo fan with over 200 hours in Diablo 4 already, I‘ve made locating every single Tortured Gift of Mystery chest my personal mission.
And let me tell you – tracking down all 33 mysterious chests took days of exploration, trial and error across multiple Helltide cycles.
But the sweet, sweet loot made it all worth it in the end…
So to help you avoid spending as much time searching as I did, here is my complete guide to every Diablo 4 mysterious chest location.
Why Should You Find These Mystery Chests?
Before diving into the specifics, let me explain why looting every mysterious chest is so valuable:
✔️ Guaranteed Legendary & Set Items: Each chest drops 3-4 guaranteed legendary and/or set items when opened. This is huge as spawn rates outside these chests are only ~2-5% for legendaries!
✔️ Unique Items Unavailable Anywhere Else: Mystery chests contain exclusive unique quality items you cannot farm from elites/bosses anywhere in the game. These provide special affix combos to unlock powerful build options.
✔️ Epic & Rare Crafting Materials: On top of the gear itself, mysterious chests drop loads of rare crafting materials. I‘m talking legendary crests, Fading Embers, and Haunted Runes to fuel major upgrades.
Of course, it costs ~525 Aberrant Cinders minimum to open all 33 chests…but trust me, it is 1000% worth spending if you loot them all efficiently.
Let‘s dive into the mysterious chest locations region-by-region now. I‘ve compiled maps, routes, and tips to save you 100s of hours trouble!
Fractured Peaks: 5 Mysterious Chest Locations
Fractured Peaks contains 5 mysterious chests scattered throughout the snowy mountain region.
Your best two early targets are in Sarkova Pass since they have direct waypoint access. But all 5 contain awesome loot!
| Chest Name | Nearest Waypoint | Spawn Location |
|---|---|---|
| Sarkova Pass #1 | Menestad | Northern path from waypoint |
| Sarkova Pass #2 | Menestad | Eastern alternate from Pass #1 |
| Frigid Expanse #1 | Kyovashad | South near Lilith altar |
| Frigid Expanse #2 | Kyovashad | Northeast near dungeon |
| Frigid Expanse #3 | Kyovashad | Southeast along cliff edge |
Pro Tip: Clear Sarkova Pass chests ASAP when a Fractured Peaks Helltide begins as they are contested. Frigid Expanse ones stay up longer.
Scosglen: 8 Possible Mysterious Chests
Scosglen amps up the mysterious chest count to 8 possible spawn locations.
I recommend circling the Northshore early on since water access limits traffic. Then sweep south through Deep Forest where waypoints help minimize search time.
| Chest Name | Nearest Waypoint | Spawn Location |
|---|---|---|
| Northshore #1 | Marowen | Island directly north in water |
| Northshore #2 | Marowen/Braestaig | Northeast near Fothrach Castle |
| Northshore #3 | Marowen/Braestaig | Northwest of #2 in Stormbreak Cove |
| Northshore #4 | Multiple | South near Writhing Brook entrance |
| Deep Forest #1 | Tur Dulra | Northeast from waypoint |
| Deep Forest #2 | Tur Dulra | West/south near Webbed Lode |
| Deep Forest #3 | Tur Dulra | Southwest direction from waypoint |
| Deep Forest #4 | Farobru | North into Scosglen along road |
Pro Tip: Park alts at Northshore waypoint paths to call out chests early in General chat.
Dry Steppes: 4 Mysterious Chest Locations
Moving south, Dry Steppes holds 4 mysterious chests biased towards early Helltide wave zones.
I highly recommend camping the Khargai Crag locations first as Fate‘s Retreat offers fast travel.
| Chest Name | Nearest Waypoint | Spawn Location |
|---|---|---|
| Khargai Crags #1 | Multiple | North near Fate‘s Retreat |
| Khargai Crags #2 | Multiple | South/northwest from Fate‘s Retreat |
| Untamed Scarps #1 | Jirandai | Northwest from waypoint |
| Untamed Scarps #2 | Multiple | Northeast from Jirandai |
Pro Tip: Farming Khargai Crags chests? Always enter from Fate‘s Retreat Waypoint for quick access.
Kehjistan: 12 Mysterious Chest Spawns
Our journey now brings us to the golden shores of Kehjistan harboring a whopping 12 mysterious chest locations!
I advise circuit routing between Amber Sands and Ragged Coastline when a Helltide starts to leverage waypoint proximity. Southern Expanse tends to get less early traffic from my experience.
| Chest Name | Nearest Waypoint | Spawn Location |
|---|---|---|
| Amber Sands #1 | Altar of Ruin | Southeast fork |
| Amber Sands #2 | Altar of Ruin | Northwest then west fork |
| Amber Sands #3 | Altar of Ruin | West to beach ~center |
| Amber Sands #4 | Iron Wolves | Alternate north paths |
| Amber Sands #5 | Altar of Ruin | Southwest into desert |
| Ragged Coast #1 | Iron Wolves | North, double left, alt. forks |
| Ragged Coast #2 | Iron Wolves | Same inital, west fork |
| Ragged Coast #3 | Iron Wolves | Same start, south near dungeon |
| Southern Expanse #1 | Gea Kul | Southeast double right |
| Southern Expanse #2 | Gea Kul | Southeast immediate left |
| Southern Expanse #3 | Gea Kul | Same as #2, east alternate |
| Southern Expanse #4 | Gea Kul | Northeast inner winding |
Pro Tip: Securing two Amber Sands or Ragged Coast chests per Helltide should be your #1 priority here.
Hawezar: 4 Mysterious Chest Locations
Our final stop in Hawezar introduces four more mysterious chests.
Dismal Foothills presents another efficient farm opportunity since both chests have direct waypoint paths. Fethis Wetlands ones require more ranging without teleports but can produce great shadow-based loot.
| Chest Name | Nearest Waypoint | Spawn Location |
|---|---|---|
| Dismal Foothills #1 | Wejinhani | West then alternating forks |
| Dismal Foothills #2 | Wejinhani | East then north following road |
| Fethis Wetlands #1 | Dungeon Exit | Southwest from Rakhat ruins |
| Fethis Wetlands #2 | Vyeresz | Southwest through toxics westward |
Pro Tip: Park characters at Wejinhani permanently to call out Dismal Foothills chests.
Summary – Mastering Diablo 4 Mysterious Chest Runs
And there you have it – all 33 Diablo IV mysterious chest spawn locations in one guide!
Hopefully mapping out every Region X Helltide mysterious chest route saves you countless hours searching aimlessly like I did when they first released.
As one last tip: I highly recommend forming a 4-player group and dividing into portal teams. This lets you cover more ground while sharing portal costs to rich nodes like Amber Sands or Dismal Foothills.
Let me know if you have any other questions finding these high-tier chests! Now get out there and loot those legendaries nephalem! 💪
