Bravely Default 2 guide: How to cut the tree for the last chest in Hydrangea Hills

Towards the end of the long prologue chapter Bold default 2, the new Nintendo Switch RPG, numerous side quests send you to the Hydrangea Hills dungeon north of the first capital city. The level contains tons of treasure chests with a bunch of useful items, but the last (and best) one is conveniently out of reach. It is blocked by a tree that is a little hard to see and even harder to pass. Here’s how to cut down a tree in Hydrangea Hills and what you’ll find inside the final chest.

Where is the last chest in Hydrangea Hills?

Most of the chests in Hydrangea Hills are relatively easy to come across. Just follow the dirt roads and they will take you uphill and around several hills with chests tucked away behind.

If you failed to find the last chest in Hydrangea Hills — which you can confirm by equipping anyone who reached Freelancer Lv. 3 with the Divining Rod ability — just head to the deepest reaches (usually the northwest in the case of this dungeon). Hug the western side walls and you should spot a chest on one of the higher ledges above, with a stone bridge or arch connecting the two cliffs.

Another way to find out is to count your way through the teleporters. In addition to the one at the beginning of the dungeon, you need to pass another teleporter over the bridge that goes over the river. At this point, simply cross the bridge and follow the path to the left for a few steps until you reach the cliff. You should see a wood and stone bridge up here.

The last chest in Hydrangea Hills cannot be accessed until a certain time Bold default 2 a recurring character teaches you how to cut trees: Truff. You’ll find him blocking the way to Wizwald at the end of Chapter 1, shortly after you claim the water crystal from Savalon.

The poor chubby pig wants to cross into the region on his own, but is blocked by, you guessed it, a massive tree that has fallen on top of the only bridge across the river. It starts a chain of tree-related stories, so it’s not quite as neat a plot twist as it first seems.

Truff can easily destroy any tree that crosses his path, but he won’t. He is too hungry and craves the steak with jam they serve at Savalon. As soon as you leave the desert kingdom, you’ll be sent back one last time before you’re free to progress to the next key area.

To learn how to cut down trees Bold default 2, you will need to pick up Truff’s quest (Quest 028 – Man’s Best Friend Part II). Head to Savalon Market to inquire about the tasty treat and they’ll tell you the town’s innkeeper specializes in them. Head there, grab a snack and take it to the hungry pig.

After a quick bite, they’ll chop down the tree with ease, miraculously teaching you how to cut trees yourself in the process. From this point on, you can cut trees by pressing Y — just like you do to cut grass.

What’s inside the last chest in Hydrangea Hills?

So why bother returning to Hydrangea Hills after a whole chapter? Not only do you have no idea how to get to the chest this early in the game, but you have no idea if what’s out of reach is a powerful weapon or a simple teleport stone.

Inside the temporarily unavailable last chest of Hydrangea Hills is an Oak Staff. It’s not some god-like weapon, but it’s a pretty noticeable boost to your mages if you grab it as soon as you can — it’s right at the end of Chapter 1. It’s not the only Oak Staff in the game, but it’s a quick and easy (and free) upgrade to your team and can help in the fights to come.
