After arriving in the Hercules Realm, there are three hidden green chests containing exclusive decorative statues in Disney Dreamlight Valley. These collectibles are easy to miss during your first visit, especially since some are tucked away in less obvious corners of the realm.
Quick overview of all secret chest locations
| Chest | Location | Reward Type | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chest #1 | Behind the cooking station in the arena area | Statue Furniture Item | Reach arena section |
| Chest #2 | Near the statue along the path right of the waterfall | Statue Furniture Item | Access waterfall path |
| Chest #3 | Behind rocks near the beach back wall | Statue Furniture Item | Progress to end of realm |
The three secret chests are spread across several major areas of the Hercules Realm. You’ll begin near the arena section where the first chest is hidden, continue toward the waterfall route for the second, and eventually reach the beach area near the realm’s ending section for the final chest. Once the realm is completed, a beach teleporter provides a much faster way to move between key areas and revisit any missed collectibles.
How to find the first secret green chest
Progress through the realm until you reach the arena area. Locate the cooking station situated within this section.
Walk behind the cooking station and check the hidden space directly behind it. Open the green chest to receive your first exclusive statue reward.
This is arguably the easiest chest to miss because most players interact with the cooking station and then immediately continue with quest objectives.
How to find the second secret green chest
Travel toward the waterfall area of the realm. Take the path located to the right side of the waterfall.
Continue along the route until you spot a statue nearby. Search around the statue area to locate the second green chest.
Open it to obtain another collectible statue item.
The chest blends surprisingly well with the environment, so make sure to look carefully around the statue rather than simply following the main path.
How to find the third secret green chest
Continue progressing through the Hercules Realm story until you reach the later sections. Make your way to the beach area near the end of the realm.
Examine the back wall of the beach region. Look behind the cluster of rocks positioned against the wall.
Open the hidden green chest to claim the final statue reward.
This chest cannot be collected immediately when entering the realm because it requires access to the realm’s later areas.
Statue rewards from the secret chests
| Chest | Reward |
|---|---|
| Secret Chest #1 | Exclusive Hercules-themed Statue |
| Secret Chest #2 | Exclusive Hercules-themed Statue |
| Secret Chest #3 | Exclusive Hercules-themed Statue |
These statues serve as unique furniture decorations for your valley and are intended as hidden collectibles for players who thoroughly explore the realm.
Protecting your statue rewards from accidental loss
Because these statue items are unique collectibles, many players recommend creating a furniture preset before decorating with them. Using Group Mode allows you to save furniture arrangements, making it much easier to relocate or recover the statues if you accidentally remove them or forget where they were placed.
On PC, the default key for entering Group Mode is C. Saving a preset gives you an additional layer of security when working with rare realm rewards.
Using the beach teleporter for faster exploration
After completing the Hercules Realm, you’ll gain access to a convenient beach teleporter. This shortcut significantly reduces travel time between the crafting station area and other sections of the realm.
If you missed one of the green chests during your initial playthrough, the teleporter makes backtracking much quicker and less frustrating.
The three secret green chests are among the easiest collectibles to overlook in the Hercules Realm update. By checking behind the arena cooking station, exploring the waterfall path, and searching the hidden rocks near the beach’s back wall, you can secure all three exclusive statue rewards before leaving the realm. Don’t forget to save your decorations using Group Mode so these rare collectibles remain safe in your valley.
