- Older chests

Unlock valuable chests from Older enemies in Children of the Sun! Learn strategies for their talk puzzles, enraged attacks, and item requirements to snag every reward.

Alright, so you've been running into these 'Older' enemies in Children of the Sun, and you've noticed some of them drop chests, right? These aren't just any old loot boxes; they usually pack some pretty valuable stuff. The trick is figuring out how to get them to drop in the first place. You'll often see clues right on their book page, hinting at what you need to do.

A lot of these chests are tied to the Older's 'talk puzzle.' The real challenge comes when they hit their 'Enraged' attack phase. To get the chest, you usually need to survive this tougher phase without taking any hits. This is where the Barrier Drop item becomes your best friend. Seriously, keep a couple of these on hand! Any damage you take while the Barrier Drop is active doesn't count against you for the chest requirement, making these much easier to snag.

Now, a few of these Older chests have some really specific, almost quirky criteria. We're talking about things like having to survive a particular attack multiple times in a row, or needing to grab random items that pop up during an onslaught. Once you've figured out and completed an Older's main talk puzzle, good news: the 'Open Sesame' option stays unlocked forever. This is a super useful strategy for those really stubborn chests. Complete the talk puzzle first, then just keep using random talk options. This will keep triggering their attacks until you've met whatever weird condition is needed for the chest. Once you've done that, you can just select 'Open Sesame' to wrap up the fight and claim your prize.
