Inaccessible chest in The Resting Giants map?

[screeg]

This is the first hard-to-get chest I've been able to get beside. With the Impala Boots I made it to the top of the waterfall directly adjacent to chest... but I still have no option to open it.

Screeg--

I recommend this thread:

People discuss how to get various treasure ^_^

[screeg]

I see Starsinger make the same complaint: getting beside a chest doesn't mean he could open it. It wasn't answered. Or do I have to activate a secret to open it?

Spoiler answer if you want: You need Bzaro equipped with a class which has the "floating" property, like Pektite, to be able to get it. Strap some boots on him, let him float, and voila, you've got it. But yeah, people have discussed this in the above-linked thread.

[screeg]

Thank you! Thought I had it figured out, but obviously not.

Woo that's nasty, I thought of floating after some tries failed, but despite I'm multiple combat past this map, I still can't have the property. That said I still have some hidden classes.

Ugh, I'm not a fan of wastes of time like this. I have tried several different times with several different strategies. I'm not a fan of the game teasing you with collectables that are *impossible* to get without giving clues that they are impossible.

They are not impossible without clues. The game clearly shows even early on that Pektites can “float” on water. The point is that some secrets must be obtained later on (backtracking) instead of being able to “100% find things the first time”. This is indeed quite normal gameplay and not “impossible”—just things for players to figure out.

In my opinion it's not either the best tricks/secrets design, there's a secret, you spend hours try solve it, in vain you can't yet.

For most players the result is decrease confidence in dev ability to design good secrets/tricks. So yes this is done in this game or that game, it's hardly anymore a good design, at next secrets those players won't bother and will just check solution on internet.

You can accuse players doing that as much you want, it's still a consequence of dev design.

Yup, changed someone's class and made frog boots for them just so I could have enough jump to get up there. Only to find out I still could not get the chest. Would have made sense to put the chest in a very easily accessible location but blocked by a square of water.

There's a guide that explain in spoiler tags how reach the chests/secrets. The problem is neither Internet search nor text search in the guide will allow find solution for a specific case, because text in spoiler tag will be ignored.

But by browing the guide and checking the spoilers you should be able find how solve your case, quote that spoilers means not much for this game, it's a weak point of the game otherwise great, you can as well spoil yourself fully and not lost much fun.
