The Ancient Temples hold a mighty treasure, the Orb of Secrets. While you might venture into the temples to acquire the orb, other treasures below the sands await you. However, you’ll need to open the Ancient stone coffers holding this treasure.
What are Ancient stone coffers?
Ancient stone coffers are small locked vaults inside Ancient Temples that hold Gold Piles. You can only open them by solving a Constellation Puzzle in the temple. Each Ancient Temple will have at least one, if not two or three, for you to open.
If you open 20 Ancient stone coffers, you will complete the ‘Starry Secrets’ commendation.
How do you open an Ancient stone coffer?
Above each Ancient stone coffer is a Spinning Block with a Constellation. Using the Stargazer, Wheel, and Star Chart in the Ancient Temple to draw the Constellation unlocks and opens the coffer.
The coffer will close after a short time, so you’ll have to be quick to grab the Gold Piles inside. However, if you are too slow, you can always draw the Constellation again to reopen the coffer.
While opening the coffers is not required to complete the Constellation Puzzle and open the Temple Crypt, they reward you with extra Gold that you can immediately earn. Most of the Gold Piles are worth less than 1,000 Gold. However, you may find one worth up to 10,000 Gold!
