In a game all about exploration like Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, it’s only fair to expect hidden treasure around every corner.
But another cornerstone of Echoes of Wisdom is using Zelda’s powers in creative and often inexplicable ways. The idea is to consider every option in your toolbox when approaching different types of problems, but while this is a lot of fun, it can also lead to a lot of confusion.
One of those confusing mechanics in Echoes of Wisdom is the buried treasure chests found throughout Hyrule. These chests often contain rupees, smoothie ingredients, and other exciting rewards, but it’s not immediately clear how to access them. This is what you need to do.
How to dig up buried treasure chests in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
To uproot buried coffins from the earth, Press X to throw Tri forward and let them possess the chest.
Then walk backwards, away from the chest, until Zelda starts pulling on the chain between her and Tri.
Eventually, the treasure chest will be pulled out of the ground, allowing you to loot the items inside.
It’s very easy to forget you have this power, as much of Echoes of Wisdom focuses on finding creative uses for the titular Echoes in both combat and puzzle-solving situations.
However, you can use Tri’s power in more situations than you might think. First, you can defeat the Venus Flytrap-like flower enemies, Deku Babas, by pulling off their flower heads, just like you would pull a coffin out of the ground.
You can also manipulate objects with Tri in puzzles, especially through non-solid walls or prison bars, allowing you to place objects on switches or knock over other objects even if it doesn’t seem like you can reach them at first. absolutely!
