Follow this comprehensive walkthrough for Octopath Traveler's 'Onward to Sunshade' chapter, detailing every chest, item, and hidden path in East Rippletide Coast, Cobbleston, and Sunshade Sands.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    East Rippletide Coast: Head south at the split, descend stairs to find a chest with a Magic Nut. Explore east of the bridge for an Inspiriting Plum. Cross the bridge south, follow the trail, and find a chest with a Wind Soulstone on a hill to the west. Continue south to North Cobbleston Gap.
  2. 2
    North Cobbleston Gap: After crossing the bridge, find a chest with a Light Soulstone behind a bush. Continue south, opening a chest with 1,200 Leaves. At the road split, head north towards Cobbleston. Look northeast for a chest with an Inspiriting Plum by hugging the eastern wall. A nearby cave, Untouched Sanctum, has a Danger Level of 15. Follow the trail west, then take a small southern path to a chest with a Healing Grape. Find a hidden path in the same area leading to a purple chest (requires Therion) containing a Magic Nut. A save point is located before the exit to South Cobbleston Gap.
  3. 3
    South Cobbleston Gap: Before the path veers east, find a hidden alcove to the west with a chest containing an Olive of Life. Continue and open a chest in plain sight with a Healing Grape. West of this chest is a doorway leading to another chest with 1,000 Leaves. Return to the main path, go west, stay on the northern side to a dead end with a chest containing an Herb of Clamor. Head north up the stairs to a save point and the entrance to Cobbleston.
  4. 4
    Exploring Cobbleston: Use Inquire/Scrutinize on townspeople. Provoke the Village Headman blocking a southern door to access his house, finding a War Lance and a chest with a Healing Grape. A villager by the northeastern exit requires Alfyn to be level 12 and reveals a hidden item near the shop (Purifying Seed). A blocked door (strength of 4) contains a chest with a Captain’s Sword. Exit town and head to the southeastern corner of South Cobbleston Gap for a chest with an Herb of Awakening. The exit is to the southwest.
  5. 5
    Eastern Sunshade Sands: Upon entering, find a save point to the south and a chest to the west with a Healing Grape. The exit to Northern Wellspring Sands (Danger Level 31) is south of this chest. The exit to Southern Sunshade Sands is west. Head north from the first chest to the edge of the map for another chest near a rock formation with an Olive of Life. West of this is Whistling Cavern (Danger Level 20). To the left of Whistling Cavern is a chest with a Thunder Soulstone. Enter Southern Sunshade Sands.
  6. 6
    Southern Sunshade Sands: Hug the southern wall moving west to find a chest with an Herb of Clarity. The exit to South Clearbrook Traverse is west. Head to the northwestern corner for a chest with an Inspiriting Plum. Return to the entry point, hug the eastern edge moving north to find a chest with an Old Coin. Continue north to reach the town of Sunshade.

  • Use Therion to open the purple chest in North Cobbleston Gap for a Magic Nut.
  • Alfyn must be level 12 to reveal a hidden item near the shop in Cobbleston.
  • A door requiring strength of 4 in Cobbleston leads to a chest with a Captain's Sword.
