Chest locations and skill levels needed

A collection of maps for finding missed locked chests and the skill level needed to unlock them.

Introduction and explanation

I should warn you that this guide is rough, really rough it was just something I quickly threw together as I played through the game. Also the initial unlocked and easy chests from Caldera, Tacarigua and the Sword coast are missing because I didn't get the idea to make my own maps until I had nearly finished the Sword coast. I may go back and add then later but for now they're missing and I know they're missing.

Also a few notes about how I noted my maps
Usually all chests are marked in number order as are the monkey points i.e. 1,2,3, M1, M2, M3. However if a monkey point is in the same area as a chest I've marked it the other way around i.e. 1M. I also have not marked unlocked chests if they are in the same area as other locked chests or in an obvious place.

I know that most of the descriptions are useless however having just the numbers and nothing else looked awful so i added them no matter how little they help.

In a few places I mentioned getting the treasure maps as that will also give you the island map, I don't know if that happened in my game because I was using the unoffical patch or not but if it is I also mentioned where the normal map is.

A couple of times I also marked where I use the monkey to get loot when climbing this is because when I tried to grab the ledge as the hero he wouldn't grab it but the monkey did.

I hope I managed to find all of the chests but with no other guide to check for reference I may have missed some.

[AlphaCheetah]

most helpful! Thank you so much!!

[kwasowsky]

I understand now. Thank you for your fast response!

[Cobra_IronFang]

Sorry for the confusion. I put areas where monkeys could be used i.e. to bypass a locked door, not just to get to a chest.

[kwasowsky]

Cobra, yes i know about the money. I passed through the door and explored whole temple. I now there is a loot at the end but I thought you only marked chests on the map that's why I was looking for a chest.

[Cobra_IronFang]

Kwasowsky the monkey is needed to get past the cracked door next to the altar. Which leads you further into the temple. I cant remember is there is chest there but it will have some loot.

[kwasowsky]

Hey, I'm making my own guide how to find various things in Risen 2 - chests among others and I'm comparing my list to yours and I can't find any chest inside temple guarded by Spider in Tacarigua (M on the map). Do you remember that chest maybe?
https://imgur.com/07b6CTW - That's the whole temple and I can't find any chest.
