Step-by-Step Guide: How to Get the 357, 298 Chest

The glowing blue chest icon at (357, 298) on the western clifftop frustrates many players because all surrounding cliff faces have invisible collision boundaries. The NPC dialogue near the tavern provides the environmental riddle:

  1. Travel to Grand Cayman (361, 300) on the western border of the Cruz naval zone.
  2. Enter the Grand Cayman Tavern in the center of the settlement.
  3. If the tavern is contested, defeat the 4 Spanish brawlers with unarmed combat to unlock the bartender.
  4. Interact with the rum bottle on the bar counter. Each drink costs 25 Reales.
  5. Drink five times consecutively without leaving the tavern interior.
  6. A black-out cutscene triggers. Edward awakens in a pile of leaves directly on the clifftop ledge at (357, 298).
  7. Open the blue Secret chest to collect the Yoke-Form Vessel and pop the Hungover trophy.
  8. Perform a Leap of Faith into the water below to return safely to town.

Southwest Cave Chest — (358, 295)

Go to the pool inside the cave on Grand Cayman's southwest side, near the Mayan statue. Wade down the stone steps, dive at the bottom, and swim through the small submerged doorway. Follow the passage upward and surface on the other side; the chest is directly ahead.

This is one of the island's two normal chest-counter items and contains sellable valuables rather than a unique collectible.

Northeast Camp Chest — (365, 303)

The second normal chest is in a small Spanish encampment on the northeastern side of Grand Cayman. It is visible at ground level, so there is no environmental puzzle. Assassinate the guards from cover, sneak around them, or clear the camp in open combat, then loot the chest at (365, 303).
