Locate the Ohtani Region Treasure Hunt in Forza Horizon 6

Forza Horizon 6's inaugural live-service update, Series 1: Welcome to Japan, is now live, introducing a fresh slate of challenges for players to tackle. Among the most rewarding tasks in the current Festival Playlist is the Ohtani region Treasure Hunt, a puzzle that requires you to decipher a visual clue to locate a hidden chest.

The hint provided is a photograph of the chest situated outside a temple. Given the sheer scale of the game's map and the abundance of similar structures, this image alone can be tricky to interpret. Below is a detailed guide to help you find the chest quickly so you can return to racing.

Where to Find the Chest

The Festival Playlist's Treasure Hunt chest is located in the Ohtani region, specifically across the lake just outside the iconic Kinkaku-Ji Temple. This temple sits near the center of the region, making it a central landmark for this week's challenge.

To locate the chest, follow these steps:

  • Navigate to Kinkaku-Ji Temple: Drive to the temple, which is centrally located in the Ohtani area.
  • Follow the Western Path: Circle around the lake on the western side.
  • Identify the Location: The chest is positioned slightly to the northwest of the Honda NSX-R GT Barn Find location.
  • Claim the Reward: Crash into the chest to smash it and complete the challenge.

Rewards and Progression

Completing this treasure hunt is highly efficient, taking at most five minutes of your time. By smashing the chest, you will earn:

  • 3 points towards your Festival Playlist progression.
  • 100,000 credits to spend on new vehicles or upgrades.

As Series 1 continues, a new Treasure Hunt location will appear each week. Familiarizing yourself with the map will help you spot these clues faster, but staying informed is always an option. The Series 1 update offers significant rewards for early completion. For instance, reaching 20 points during the Summer season unlocks the 1999 Toyota Altezza RS200 Z Edition, while 40 points grants the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR.

Further milestones at 60 and 120 points reward players with the 2008 Mazda Furai and the 2010 Nissan 370Z, respectively. Ensure you keep an eye on your progress to secure these high-performance machines.
