In Far Cry 6, Criptograma Chests are lootable chests that can be unlocked through Criptograma Charts utilised as keys. To unlock these chests would require two charts per chest for which there are 30 Criptograma Charts and 15 Criptograma Chests.
While the chests are marked with a white chest on the HUD or minimap, the charts aren’t. But their locations are nearby the chest locations which is marked with blue illustrations pointing in the general direction of the charts.
Another indicator of the location of a Criptograma Chart is to listen out for the sound of wind chimes so be sure that the audio in-game is turned up.
This guide will provide players with the locations for all 15 Criptograma Chests which when unlocked, can be looted for high-quality gear. We will also provide guidance to locate the Criptograma Charts required to unlock the chests.
