There are currently 3 high-tier treasure chests in each area of Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds, which means that you can find 36 different chests.
Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds is a thrilling mobile game that is part of the popular Ni No Kuni series, which means that you can expect similar gameplay and content in this game. However, the game follows the story of a fantasy, virtual reality game called Soul Diver, which transports players to the fantasy world of Ni No Kuni.
In this fictitious world, players can assume the role of either a rogue, swordsman, witch, engineer, or a destroyer. Even though it is your responsibility to save the Queen, you can participate in several additional activities and gaming modes. You can discover collectables, summon Familiars, defeat enemies, and fight other players in the player-versus-player gaming mode.
Collectables
One of the activities you can enjoy is collecting various collectables and treasure chests scattered around the world. There are countless treasure chests hidden throughout the regions of Ni No Kuni. Most of the chests are common, and thus, respawn after a certain duration.
That being said, some chests are of a higher rarity, meaning that they contain higher quality items. Discovering treasure chests can allegedly increase your character’s statistics, so it is advisable that you keep an eye out for them as you explore the world.
