Before you cross the water
This route follows the small island at the extreme northeast of the Treasure Hunters map, beyond the larger landmass containing Fortune’s Fort. It is separate from The Chest island in the northwest. Open the map and compare the shoreline before committing to the swim: two small islands in different corners of the map are easy to confuse when following only a verbal description.
Bring a usable weapon and enough recovery supplies for the return. The inspected run approaches after looting the Fortune’s Fort waterfall area. You can treat the island as a continuation of that opening route, but check the safe zone first. An offshore detour is a poor trade when your next circle is far inland.
No Pirate Shop Access drop is demonstrated in this segment. Buried chests and coastal loot are useful search objectives, but this route does not establish that a particular container type has better token odds.
1. Approach the small island and read the beach
Travel to the offshore island while keeping the larger coastline in sight. On arrival, look down over the shoreline for crates, barrels, exposed containers and disturbed ground. Check a visible landing section before circling the whole island.
The inspected run finds that another player has already visited. That is the most useful part of the example: a location advertised as dense with loot can be nearly empty by the time you reach it. Opened containers and scattered ground loot are reasons to shorten your stop, rather than proof that you picked the wrong island.
Work in one direction around any remaining accessible shore so you do not repeatedly inspect the same empty patch. If you find an intact buried mound, use the pickaxe to expose it, then use the normal chest interaction. Do not infer a guaranteed chest count from the number mentioned during a single recording.
2. Leave a cleared island promptly
When the easy shoreline positions have already been taken, return toward the larger island. Keep the same coastline as a navigation reference so you do not extend the detour with an unnecessary crossing. The footage returns to the nearby coastal structures instead of continuing to search empty ground.
If you have not yet left the mainland and can already see opened positions from a safe vantage point, skip the crossing. The objective is productive searching during a match, not checking off every destination in this article. A fixed route should still respond to the storm and the players who landed before you.
In a squad, call out “island cleared” and regroup. Having four players verify the same empty beach consumes time without producing more unopened chests. Stay close enough to help if a fight begins; dividing search work does not require scattering across the map.
3. Search the tents and coastal structures
Back on the larger landmass, check the nearby coastal camp with colorful tent canopies, wooden decking, crates and barrels. Use the entrances and container sounds to work through one structure at a time. Look behind the stacked crates so a chest partly concealed by props is not missed.
Prefer the normal chest-search prompt while following this written route. The creator also breaks containers in the recording, but a clip of ordinary loot appearing does not independently verify how every special reward behaves when a chest is destroyed.
The storm reaches the camp during the demonstrated segment. Treat that as a warning to rotate earlier in your own match. Finish the container you can safely access, then leave; do not use the on-screen video clock as a deadline for a different storm circle.
Make the route fit your match
| Situation | Useful adjustment |
|---|---|
| Island appears untouched and the zone is nearby | Take a short shoreline circuit, keeping the return in view |
| Opened containers cover the landing section | Check only nearby leftovers, then return to the coastal camp |
| Opponents control the beach | Use another search area instead of forcing the crossing |
| Storm is already moving across your return | Drop the detour and move toward the safe zone |
| You need a repeatable opening before the island | Start with the Fortune’s Fort waterfall walkthrough |
For the earlier cave opening, use the Fortune’s Fort guide. For a different digging location, use The Chest route. The interactive map helps compare the wider landing areas.
