General Amphoreus Exploration Tips (SEO Focus: Efficient Farming)

Before diving into specific maps, here are essential tips for maximizing your treasure hunting efficiency in Amphoreus:

• The Empyrean Gaze Gadget: This is a must-have for tracking down those last few hidden chests. You can obtain this treasure-locating gadget by progressing the Tidal Bounty system at the Tides of the Basin (located in the Vortex of Genesis area) to Offering Level 20.
• Chest-Hunting Characters: Utilize the techniques of characters like The Herta (reveals up to three nearby chests on the minimap) or Topaz & Numby (Numby automatically detects and can mark chests).
• Spirithieves: These mischievous NPCs will snatch a chest and try to escape. Be prepared for a short mini-game or a dialogue that sometimes leads to a battle. Generally, choosing whimsical or joking dialogue options will allow you to skip the fight and claim the Bountiful Treasure.
• Verticality: Amphoreus maps like Okhema have multiple floors. Always check both the upper and lower levels, often accessible via elevators or hidden passages (e.g., Janus’ Hidden Passage).

Amphoreus Sub-Area Chest Counts and Highlights

Amphoreus is divided into several major explorable zones, each with a specific number of chests and unique puzzles. Note that “chests” include Basic, Bountiful, and Precious Treasures, as well as rewards from the key area puzzles.

1. Eternal Holy City: Okhema (The Largest Area)

This is the most expansive area in Amphoreus, spanning two main floors (Upper and Lower) and offering the highest chest count.

• Total Chests: Approximately 39 (including puzzles).
• Key Puzzles: This area features all four Golden Scapegoat puzzles and four Golden Short Spear puzzles, which reward extra Precious or Bountiful chests upon completion.
• Common Locations: Many chests are tucked away in small, suspicious-looking nooks on the minimap, or hidden behind destructible objects. The Upper floors require careful navigation using the elevators.
• Spirithieves: There are 3 Spirithieves in this region.

2. Abyss of Fate: Janusopolis (The Most Complex Area)

Janusopolis is notorious for its complex layout and the need to interact with the “Janus’ Hidden Passage” mechanic to switch access routes and reach secluded chests.

• Total Chests: Approximately 22.
• Key Mechanic: You must interact with the environmental switches to change the flow of the map and unlock new paths. One secluded chest is accessible only by correctly directing a specific Hidden Passage.
• Spirithieves: This area has 2 Spirithieves.

3. Strife Ruins: Castrum Kremnos & Bloodbathed Battlefront

These areas are typically divided by the main story progression and often involve unique mechanics or combat encounters.

• Castrum Kremnos (Strife Ruins) Total Chests: Approximately 28.
• Castrum Kremnos (Bloodbathed Battlefront) Chests: The exact count is typically lower, focusing on a few scattered chests alongside puzzle rewards.

4. Vortex of Genesis (The Smallest Area)

This is a very small area, often the first you encounter upon arriving at Amphoreus, but it’s vital for progression.

• Total Chests: 2 Basic Treasures.
• Key Feature: This area contains the Tides of the Basin, which is the central reward system for all of Amphoreus’s exploration.

The Golden Scapegoat and Puzzle Chests (High-Value Rewards)

The most sought-after chests are those locked behind Amphoreus’s signature puzzles. These often contain Precious Treasures or Bountiful Treasures, netting a higher amount of Stellar Jade.

• Golden Scapegoat: These are maze-like mini-games where you must successfully steer the Golden Scapegoat through a series of left and right turns to reach the end and claim the chest. There are 4 of these puzzles in Okhema.
• Golden Short Spear: For these puzzles, you must “rewind the timer” on the spear, and then quickly follow it as it flies across the map to its final landing point, where a chest will appear.
• Prophecy Tablets: These are tile-matching puzzles that require you to rotate and move geometric shapes to form a required pattern, often rewarding a Bountiful Chest.

Note: Due to the sheer size and complexity of Amphoreus, with its multiple floors and unique puzzle mechanics, a simple text-based guide cannot replace a visual reference. We highly recommend using an Honkai: Star Rail Interactive Map or one of the many video guides available on YouTube for step-by-step guidance on chest locations and puzzle solutions for the most efficient Stellar Jade farming.
