## 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:

## 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.

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.
Tip 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:
Before you commit - **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.
