Chests appear during the main story and after its completion. To access them later, players can return to Steamy Island, enter the castle, and reattempt the Nirvana Night Citadel challenge.
With the task divided into three stages, players can track missing chests within the challenge menu. The guide explains how to locate chests both during the quest and at its end.
Finding the Night Watch’s first contract
The first contract sits in the dungeon Ghost Tales: Apocalypse of Eternal Night I. When the player first encounters Leon, it is wise not to rush the story. Backtrack and interact with the Eye of the Raven to reveal a ladder above the hero.
Beyond the arch, several hilichurls and a shamashurl stand guard. Defeat them, then descend to the lower level to find the initial precious chest. Opening it yields the Night Watch contract.
Use the elevator to return and continue the journey. If this chest was missed during the main mission, replay Ghost Tales: Apocalypse of Eternal Night I and descend from the tower. The terminal point is at the end, so a retreat is necessary to reach it again.
Locating the Night Watch’s second contract
The second chest appears at the start of Ghost Tales: Apocalypse of Eternal Night II. Use Raven’s Eye to open the passage, then proceed to the area with hilichurls and Abyssal Mages. After clearing them, look closely at the wooden stairs on the right.
Descending reveals the second precious chest and the Night Watch contract.
Discovering the third contract of the Night Watch
The third chest sits on the same level and requires solving a small riddle. Details of the solution are covered in the Apocalypse of Eternal Night walkthrough.
After engaging the wind flow, restore the stairs with a cube. Then rotate the cube to swing the tower to the left. Activate the central power, climb the tower, repair the bridge, cross it, defeat the monsters, and locate the chest containing the Night Watch contract. If pursuing the chest at the quest’s end, a short backtrack is needed.
Finding the fourth contract of the Night Watch
The fourth and fifth chests appear in Ghost Tales: Apocalypse of Eternal Night III. The quest requires exploring two parts of the location and collecting missing fragments of a toy castle. Head to the right side, follow a long passage filled with enemies, and at the end discover a precious chest.
Uncovering the fifth contract of the Night Watch
The final chest lies on the left side of the area. Solve a small puzzle to fix a ladder and descend to the bottom level where two Eyes of the Raven lie. Pause, turn around, and locate a small wooden ladder to climb. The chest will be found by circling the building on the left and taking the last step to receive the letter.
What to do with Night Watch contracts and where to apply them
There are no bonuses tied to the letters themselves. Their purpose is to unlock air currents on Steamy Island, enabling faster movement between locations. The map below highlights every place where these contracts can be applied.
