Once the rats attack and kill the guards, Amicia will be able to light up a moveable carriage. Across from it is the second secret chest on a small platform accessed by a ladder.

Once the boat gets blocked by a mechanism in chapter five in A Plague Tale: Requiem, Amicia travels alone to the other side to fix it. She’ll shoot a loose chain that’ll break the railings. Go around the building and climb the ladder to find the third secret chest.

In chapter six, Amicia and Hugo will run away from the guards in A Plague Tale: Requiem, and eventually, find a safe space to rest. After Amicia starts to feel dizzy because of the head injury, walk forward and crouch under the shelves to find the fourth secret chest.

After clearing out the enemy camp, players are tasked with finding the smuggler’s hideout in chapter seven. From the pile of Episanguis, move forward and leap down while minding the rats. Go to the right side and crouch under the plank to find the fifth secret chest.

If players missed it in chapter nine, the chest can be found in the next chapter. At the very beginning of chapter 10, after descending the slope, the same tower can be seen to the right. Also, if there’s no knife in possession, one can be found on the lowest floor of the tower behind a closed door.

In the same chapter in A Plague Tale: Requiem, there is another secret chest. Right before entering the sanctuary, climb the cliff to the left and approach the seventh secret chest. If players are trying to get 100% completion, then don't worry about grabbing both secret chests on chapter 9. Doing this task on the next replay counts for the achievement too.

Upon reuniting again with Sophia after infiltrating the enemy’s camp in chapter 10, Amicia will learn that the smuggler can use her prism stone to reflect light, protecting them from the rats. Use the sling to light the bonfire ahead, and ask Sophia to open up a path. When the building is near, keep the prism stone activated and walk backward into the building. Go to the second floor to open the eighth secret chest.

After gaining access to the secret cave, where Basilius was being held, Amicia will have to go on her own at some point to fix the bridge. Upon reaching the second chain, get out between the narrow opening and enter the room to the left to see the ninth secret chest.

In chapter 13, right before going in to save Arnaud from the count’s soldiers, place the wooden box on the left wall and climb the destroyed building. Enter through the door next to the bed to find the tenth and final secret chest on the right side.
