The “Find the chest with pinwheels” objective in Ghost of Yōtei belongs to a sentimental side tale called Memories of Home. This quest explores the protagonist’s past through dreamlike flashbacks and interactions with family memories. The chest marked by pinwheels is the final discovery that brings the tale to its emotional conclusion.

How to complete Memories of Home and find the chest with pinwheels

Step 1: Start the Memories of Home tale

The tale can trigger during your main progression once you return to your home estate. When active, a quest marker will appear over your residence. Approach it and interact to begin the flashback sequence.

Step 2: Enter the first memory sequence

Once inside, the game transitions to a memory of your childhood home. Explore the area and speak with Jubei, the brother, who mentions his missing headband. This short memory helps establish the setting before sending you back to the present.

Step 3: Examine the old paintings in the present

Back in the present, explore your house again. You’ll notice several sumi-e paintings scattered across the floor. Interact with these to collect and observe them. They represent remnants of your family’s artistry and act as anchors between the past and present timelines.

Step 4: Return to the past and play zeni hajiki with Yone

After collecting the paintings, shift again into the past by following the on-screen prompt. This time, you’ll meet Yone, your mother. She invites you to play zeni hajiki, a traditional coin game.

Whether you win or lose, the moment reinforces the bond between you and her. Once the scene ends, the tale transitions back to the present day.

Step 5: Find the chest with pinwheels in the present

After the memory fades, remain inside your house. Walk around the main room or side chamber until you notice small pinwheels placed beside a wooden chest.

These pinwheels act as the clue you were told to find. Interact with the chest to open it and complete the objective.

The chest is always found inside the house, not outside or in the garden. Look for a soft glow or the distinct movement of pinwheels — they’re the visual markers pointing you right to it.
