Crate's Secret Quest is an Easter Egg in the Forgotten Gods Expansion. Like Daila's Secret Quest in the base game and Lokarr's Secret Quest in the Ashes of Malmouth, it can only be accessed on Ultimate Difficulty, with no quest text and only cryptic clues given for each step. This quest eventually leads the player to a series of hidden levels and the secret super boss Crate of Entertainment.

Guide[ | ]

Complete access to all of the locations in Crate's Secret Quest requires:

The Seals[ | ]

The 6 seals appear as Unassuming Crates, located across various parts of Cairn. The seals must be destroyed in the following order.

  1. The quest begins upon entering the Forgotten Cellar. The entrance to it is in the Conclave of the Three, hidden behind the Cult of Dreeg faction vendor. Inside the cellar is an Unassuming Crate. Destroying the crate will cause the Spirit of Crate NPC to appear. The Spirit will say that the Unassuming Crate was the first of six seals to be broken, but refuses to reveal the location of the others or their purpose, leaving the player to search for them on their own.
  2. The second Unassuming Crate is located in the northern portion of the Hidden Refuge, a secret area adjacent the Temple City of Osyr.
  3. The third Unassuming Crate is found in Sunbane Oasis, concealed under some trees in a secret area, which itself is accessed by a secret path under the broken bridge.
  4. The fourth Unassuming Crate is in the Ruins of Abyd, in another secret area behind a breakable wall, just north of the Vanguard of the Three.
  5. The fifth Unassuming Crate is found in the Valley of the Chosen, behind a breakable wall to the east of the entrance to the Tomb of Nephos.
  6. The sixth and final Unassuming Crate is found in a secret area on the second floor of the Tomb of the Eldritch Sun West Side (2 breakable walls).

Chillheart[ | ]

Chillheart is a Unique Dagger and counterpart to Stormheart and Blazeheart. The sword will appear in the Vanguard of the Three after the player has stood in the green ritual circle near the Vanguard Ritualists for 15 seconds.

Bonebleach Basin[ | ]

Once all 6 Unassuming Crate seals are broken, the player can travel to the Cairan Docks, to an area where the Crate Entertainment logo can be found on the ground. Walking over the logo will destroy a section of the nearby wall, allowing the player to enter Bonebleach Basin. The persistent sandstorm in the basin will cause damage over time to the player, which can be avoided by taking shelter behind large rock formations or leeching life from the Bonebleach Dromedary creatures that inhabit the area.

At the northern end of Bonebleach Basin, on the right, is a Desert Altar. The altar can only be activated if the player has the Chillheart sword in their possession. Activating the Altar opens a portal to the Sanctum of the Chosen.

Inside the Sanctum of the Chosen are five different-colored levers that correspond to the colors used for different item tiers. Activating the levers in increasing item rarity order (white, yellow, green, blue, purple) opens a door to the Edge of Reality.

Edge of Reality[ | ]

The Edge of Reality has three sections.

The first section is a desert area populated by Oversized Maggots. These Oversized Maggots are initially passive and will not react to the player moving near them. Once they are attacked, however, they will become aggressive and retaliate using melee attacks that can one-shot most characters. Hidden among the Oversized Maggots is a single Perfectly Usual Oversized Maggot, which is grayer in color. Killing this maggot will open an Eldritch Rift in the tower at the far end of the section which leads to the next section.

The second section is a temple ruined by volcanic activity. Most of the ground is magma rock that will damage the player over time. In addition, from the section onwards, the player is unable to leave using their personal rift. Another Eldritch Rift can be located near the end of the section, which takes the player to the third section.

The third and final section is an Eldritch remake of Devil's Crossing. Crate of Entertainment is found in the central area of the prison compound, flanked by two locked Crate Collections chests. Defeating Crate of Entertainment will unlock both chests and open an Eldritch Rift at his starting location that sends the player back to the Vanguard of the Three. Upon his defeat, Crate of Entertainment will also always drop a Mildly Amusing Box and may drop an additional Wilhelm's Wondrous Wargem at a 25% chance.
