Start the exploration route
Sword Vault Dale is the map featured in this route. The path is structured for a complete 100% exploration clear — it covers chests, Aurylene, Intel pickups, Template Gears, and the special damaged robot collectible. The full sweep takes about 38 minutes, starting from the first chest location and progressing through every collectible point.
- Start collecting from chest 1 0:10
- Total route length is 38:22 0:00
- First Aurylene at 2:11
- First Intel at 7:06, Template Gear at 7:56, damaged robot at 15:16
Collect the chest route in order
There are 40 chests on the Sword Vault Dale map. The chest path is numbered and timestamped, so you can follow along and check each spot off. The route starts at the first chest and proceeds through the map in an efficient order to minimize backtracking. The notable chest milestones are:
- 0:10 — Starting point, visible as a blue marker in the southwest zone
- 18:22 — Mid-route, check progress
- 27:52 — Check you haven't missed earlier stops
- 36:09 — Final chest, marks route completion
Pick up every Aurylene node
There are 15 Aurylene pickups included on this route. Each is marked separately and comes with a timestamp, so you can pause and verify collection as you move through the map.
Grab Intel, Template Gear, and the damaged robot
Besides the chest route, there are three Intel pickups, two Template Gear pickups, and one damaged robot collectible. These are marked on the route as distinct chapter stops, so you don’t miss them even if they're off the main chest path.
Use the chapter markers as your checklist
The route provides chapter markers for every collectible stop — chests, Aurylene, Intel, Template Gear, and the damaged robot. This lets you use timestamps as a practical checklist as you roam or backtrack across Sword Vault Dale. Each item is clearly tagged and easy to jump to through the timestamp links.
While progressing, alternate between chest pickups and special collectibles as outlined by the chapter marker list. If you miss a collectible, jump directly using the timestamp and location callout to recover it without rerunning the whole route. This system keeps the exploration organized and reduces confusion about collectibles beyond chests.
For 100% exploration, always check your map for unmarked Aurylene, Intel, or Template Gear pickups after collecting the chests.
Know what the comments add
Two extra points and one caveat before you run the route:
- Add survey point locations. Track survey points as an extra checklist item alongside the chests for a thorough exploration clear.
- Final map section may need another operator. The last part of the map may require a new operator or party setup after you unlock additional areas.
- Demand for more map guides. Reuse this same chapter-marker checklist on other locations and other games.
