How to find Chests in the Golden Apple Archipelago in Genshin Impact
While some Chests are easy to find as they’re just lying around the islands, some are a little trickier to spot. Upon heading to the Chest locations marked above, watch out for obstacles, such as Time Trial Challenges, Bloatty Floatties, and puzzles that could reward you with Chests. Meanwhile, any of the Chests located in the water can be reached using the Waverider.
The GAA islands have a unique gliding challenge indicator, which looks like a floating arrow pointing downward (see the first image above). Additionally, if you head to a Chest’s location and find nothing, break the nearby objects as some Chests are hidden behind breakables.
