Unlocking Prodigy’s Hidden Treasures: A Guide to Secret Chests
The world of Prodigy is vast and filled with secrets, and one of the most exciting discoveries for any wizard is stumbling upon a secret chest. These hidden caches often contain valuable items, from rare buddies to helpful gear, making them a highly sought-after find. But, where are the secret chests in Prodigy? They’re not always marked on the map or easy to locate, requiring a keen eye and a bit of exploration.
Several of these chests are not available all of the time.
Here’s a breakdown of where to find these elusive treasures:
Known Secret Chest Locations in Prodigy
- The Hidden Room (North of Furnace Room): This is a classic secret chest location. To find it, you’ll need to head to the area north of the Furnace Room. Inside this Hidden Room, you’ll discover a chest guarded by either an Ice Neek or Rukus. While most of the items in the chest might seem unworthy, the White Feather is a coveted treasure within.
- Treasure Room’s Frozen Chest: The Treasure Room is home to a prominent frozen chest. This chest is initially inaccessible but will thaw out once you complete all the quests on Shiverchill Mountains and light up Bok’s fourth and final furnace. When open, it contains Mjoln-Ice, which can also be obtained from monsters or Conjure Cubes.
- Battle Chests Throughout Islands: While not technically hidden in specific locations, Battle Chests are found throughout the different islands as part of normal gameplay. These chests appear after defeating a wild pet, an arena wizard, boss, or cloaked wizard. They can also be found in various spots on an island, rewarding exploration.
- Rune Runs: During a Rune Run on hard mode you can find holes, similar to those created by The Old One, that lead to secret items. Often you can find Billyfoot Squirrel by these holes.
- Daily Pippet Chests: While not a chest in the traditional sense, defeating Pippet each day rewards players with bonus stars and a rare Copper Coin, making Pippet’s daily spawn a unique type of secret treasure to be found by searching the island.
- The Puppet Master’s Treasure: Once the player defeats the Puppet Master, the player is rewarded the Puppet Master’s Outfit (Staff, Robes, Boots, and Hat) which can be worn in game.
- Astral Tower: While not a chest, the Astral Tower is the final tower in the Academy, and is unlocked after completing all the other towers which results in rare and valuable items.
Other Important Notes About Chests and Rewards
- No Legendary Buddies: Unlike some games, Prodigy does not have common or legendary buddies that come from chests. They also do not have any special abilities. This doesn’t include epic buddies, which may have unique powers.
- The Warden Keystones: There are five Warden Keystones that can be found, but they do not come from chests. Instead, they are found through exploring the game world and will be used at a later date within the academy.
- Gems: After collecting all five gems and placing them, they stop glowing until the player clicks on the area where the Puppet Master enters the academy.
- Rare Buddies: While not found in chests, there are some rare buddies that players can try to find, including the Ivory Truckle, the Red Panda, and Squibbles. Squibbles is the hardest to find of all of these.
- Sparkle Buddies: The Sparkle Puppy is obtained from the Twilight Wheel, with a 1/8 chance of being rewarded.
These are some of the known secret chest locations in Prodigy, but remember that the world is constantly evolving, and new hidden treasures may be introduced in future updates.
