When exploring the mines in Wylde Flowers, you will notice locked chests near the doors leading to the next level.
While at first there is no way to interact with these chests, and players are met with a message saying the chests are tightly locked, there is a way to open them and it’s actually worth going through the trouble of doing so because the rewards inside are totally worth it!
So, let’s jump right in and see how to open these chests!

How to Unlock Locked Chests in the Mines
The main requirement for unlocking locked chests in the game is to unlock the lockpicking skill. This is easily unlocked while following the main storyline in the game.
Specifically, during the later part of the summer season in Wylde Flowers, and after progressing the coven quests, players will receive a quest named ‘At the Break-in Point’.
To complete it, they will have to craft 2 lockpick incantations.
How to Unlock Lockpick Incantation
Completing this quest will allow the player to craft as many lockpick incantations as they want to. Here’s what you’ll need to craft one lockpick incantation:
- 1 Paper
- 1 Black Ink
- 1 Egg
Also, crafting this incantation, just like with other incantations, will require some of the player’s magic bar. To refill your magic bar quickly and efficiently, consider checking out our guide on the best items for the wellspring.
