What to know
- Traveler’s Camp in Windrose contains two hidden chests, not just one visible loot spot.

- A red ribbon-marked tree is your key landmark for the hidden chest.
- Completing both chests marks the area as fully cleared with a check indicator.
You will come across Traveler’s Camp fairly early in Windrose, and while it looks like a simple loot stop, it actually hides an extra chest that many players miss. If you only grab the visible chest, you are leaving valuable consumables behind. This guide walks you through exact locations, requirements, and rewards, ensuring you fully clear the area without confusion.
Here is a quick overview of Traveler’s Camp chests in Windrose:
| Element | Details |
|---|---|
| Location | Traveler’s Camp, Windrose |
| Total Chests | 2 |
| First Chest | Visible at camp entrance |
| Second Chest | Buried near red ribbon tree |
| Requirement | Shovel (unlocked via mining activities) |
| Completion Indicator | Check mark appears after both chests |
Where both chests are located in camp
As you enter the Traveler’s Camp, the first chest is immediately visible near the front area, making it almost impossible to miss. However, the second chest is intentionally hidden and requires a bit of awareness.
You need to move deeper into the camp and look for a tree marked with a distinctive red ribbon, which serves as the only visual clue for the buried treasure. The area itself does not look interactable at first, which is why many players walk past it without realizing a chest is hidden underneath.
Windrose Shovel explained
Before you can access the second chest, you must first unlock the shovel tool, which is tied to early progression systems.
You obtain it by participating in mining-related activities and collecting copper ore. Once you complete this requirement, the shovel becomes available as a usable tool, enabling digging interactions across multiple locations, including this one.

Rewards from Traveler’s Camp chests
Based on the in-game loot shown:
| Item | Quantity | Type | Rarity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homemade Gunpowder | 10 | Ammo | Uncommon |
| Healing Potion | 5 | Medicine | Rare |
| Great Healing Potion | 5 | Medicine | Epic |
These rewards are especially valuable early on, as they provide both offensive utility through ammunition crafting and strong healing options for tougher encounters.
Why the second chest is easy to miss
What makes this location tricky is that there is no obvious prompt unless you are already in digging mode. Even if you stand in the correct spot, the interaction will not trigger unless you actively switch modes.
Additionally, the red ribbon marker is subtle and blends into the environment, which further increases the chance of overlooking it. This design encourages exploration but can also lead to missed loot if you are rushing through areas.
You should always scan for environmental markers like ribbons, cloth, or unusual objects, as these often hint at hidden mechanics. It is also helpful to unlock tools like the shovel as early as possible, since multiple hidden chests across Windrose rely on digging. If you make it a habit to revisit earlier areas after unlocking tools, you can recover missed rewards efficiently.
