Buy the Mysterious Chest Early for The Survivalists

Buy the Mysterious Chest Early

In The Survivalists the Mysterious Chest is the most important item in the early game. It costs 30 gold and is able to store 36 items and along with the other chests you can let your monkey companions carry it around which enables you to store any loot while you travel.

The Mysterious Chest itself is obtained from the Mysterious Stranger who works as a travelling salesman and will randomly appear during the game in a hot air balloon. You will get a notification that he has spawned and his location. Once you have found the Mysterious Stranger you will need 3 Ropes to interact with the shop. To interact with the shop you just need to click on the Ropes in your inventory and upon doing so you will get the Spy Glass as a reward and he will open his shop for you. The Spy Glass is a useful item because when it is used near a shoreline or while sailing it will reveal parts of the map, including any islands that are further away. To get the actual Spyglass reward you must inspect the pink box on the left side of the shop.
