In the latest installment of Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, players are met with a nostalgic challenge: the quest to unlock myriad chests scattered throughout the game. Among these, the locked chest in Hubble Castle stands out, requiring keen observation and a bit of strategy to access its treasures.
When adventurers reach the Hubble region during their exploration of the past, they’ll encounter Hubble Castle, a structure filled with secrets waiting to be uncovered. Within one of its towers lies the elusive chest, which cannot be opened with the usual Magic or Thief’s Keys. Instead, a specific method must be employed to crack this puzzle.
Players receive an intriguing hint from a nearby inhabitant, who advises them to «follow the path of the cross.» This clue points them toward the uniquely cross-shaped room where the chest resides. To succeed, players must navigate through the doors in a precise sequence. The solution unfolds as follows:
1. Begin at the left door next to a statue, moving towards the right to enter the first door.
2. Ascend and then turn left before descending again to pass through another door.
3. Finally, advance straight ahead to exit through the door where the man stands, unlocking the chest in the process.
Upon successfully opening the chest, players are rewarded with a Glowing Holy Water Bottle. However, an unexpected twist occurs when a Wandmaker apprentice demands the bottle, promising a greater reward for those who return after completing the main quest in Hubble.
Once players achieve this goal and revisit the Wandmaker, they will find that their patience pays off. The apprentice will present them with a formidable weapon, capable of unleashing two spells in a single turn, elevating their combat capabilities significantly.
This locked chest is not just an isolated puzzle; a similar challenge awaits players in the Conjuratorium, where mastering the same movements is required to access a vault brimming with magical items. Thus, each step taken in Hubble Castle not only unveils treasures but also forges a deeper connection with the game’s enchanting narrative.
