This quick guide will explain how you can reveal the exact location of all chests in Star Wars Jedi Survivor on every map and planet!
Exploration in Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of the key elements of the game. For many of us it is likely the best part.
After a certain point, though, you may start feeling a certain amount of fatigue from traversing the crazy layouts of each zone and area in the game looking for secrets.
How the “Map Upgrade: Chests” unlock works
There is a way in Jedi Survivor to show the exact location of every single chest you have not reached and opened yet on every map on every planet.
This is done via a unique item that you pick up at the end of the Phon’Qi Caverns on Koboh: the Map Upgrade: Chests unlock.
Once you obtain this upgrade for your map, you will always have the chests visible. It’s not an ability you have to use constantly to display the locations of chests.
If you want to obtain this item, but still preserve the element of surprise in your exploration, you can just hide the icons of the chests on your map using the filter. To do that, open the Legend menu, scroll to the bottom where “Chests” is and click to hide its icon.
This map upgrade only shows the location of chests, it does not tell you what is inside the chests.
How to get the “Map Upgrade: Chests” unlock
To obtain the “Map Upgrade: Chests” unlock, you need to first access the Phon’Qi Caverns. This is an area you will not be able to visit and explore until you have progressed quite a bit in the main story. The item is at the bottom of the caverns.
You can also use our guides to find the locations of whatever you need. We have detailed walkthroughs for all Stims Locations, all Health Essence Locations, all Force Essence Locations and all Skill Points locations.
How to get to the Phon’Qi Caverns
Before you start, you’ll need to be able to pass through green barriers before attempting to get through these caverns. This is an ability you acquire during your mission to save Zee from the Lucrehulk on Koboh.
There’s a path near the Pyloon Saloon that leads upwards to the Foothill Falls. Take the right on the fork in the road and go up the zipline. There’s a Relter to your left that you’ll need to glide down to a shack on the other side.
On the left side of the shack you’ll find three raider grunts. Defeat them and look for the basement access. Force Pull the cover off and jump inside.
Inside you’ll find the droid T-1N8, talk to her to recruit her. On the left wall is a panel you can Force Pull off to access the Phon’Qi Caverns. Take the first right and activate the Phon’Qi Caverns Meditation Point.
The Phon’Qi Caverns is a challenging area that you will absolutely enjoy playing through, I think. Even if you find it not enjoyable, it’s worth getting down there and unlocking the ability to reveal all chest locations in Jedi Survivor.
We have a detailed Phon’Qi Caverns walkthrough that will help you obtain not just the best part – the Map Upgrade: Chests unlock, but all Collectibles in the area. Everything!
