Where To Find The Key To Open Blue Chests In Octopath Traveler 0

Like in similar games made by Square Enix, like the prior Octopath games or the Bravely Default series, Blues Chests can only be accessed by using a special key (a Skeleton Key of sorts).

In Octopath Traveler 0, this item is obtained through some unconventional means that involve the restoration of Wishvale. So, if players don't want to suffer spoilers on one of the main story quests, they should proceed with caution from here on.

Learn everything about Octopath Traveler 0 with this quickstart beginners guide. Know the tricks beforehand, and travel across Osterra unhinged.

To unlock the Blue Chests, players need to construct a Church in Wishvale, and for that they will need to progress further into the Kindlers of the Flame Main Quest.

Octopath Traveler 0 Ruined Wishvale

To be more precise, unlocking the Church requires players to advance into Chapter 5 of Kindlers of the Flame, and meet Laurana again. After recruiting this Cleric, they will have to go back to Wishvale, reconstruct the Aelfric Church, and upgrade it to Level 3 using 12 Radiant Cornerstones.

Radiant Cornerstones are obtained after defeating Elite enemies, which are spread all around Osterra. It is highly likely that players already have enough of these Items to upgrade the Church.

Upgrading the Church to level 3 unlocks the ability to open Blue Chests all across the world, as well as increasing Helper Capacity up to 9 (maximum).
