The locations below pair reported rewards with directions where available. Published guides differ on which chests they include, so this is a working location list—not a confirmed complete count.
How to unlock blue chests
Blue chests are locked until you upgrade Wishvale’s church. Game8 Japan says the church becomes available after clearing chapter 5 of The Flamebearer; its progression note estimates that this point falls around chapter 5 of Bestower of All in chapter 2.

Blue chest locations and rewards
Use the area name and landmark together when searching. The locations and rewards below combine entries from Game8 Japan and game-wiki.net; not every entry appears in both lists, and some English item names may be approximate translations. “No direction listed” means the cited list gives an area and reward without a more precise landmark.

Directions and reward names are reported by Game8 Japan’s area list and game-wiki.net’s location guide. The two inventories have different scopes: for example, Game8 lists Seaside Grotto with two chests, while game-wiki.net includes Donescu Traverse, Cyphlo Banks, and Beneath the Sands. Treat the entries as candidates rather than a verified final inventory.
