The quick answer
Enter east of Mercyheart Monastery and use explosive barrels both as weights and as demolition tools. At the last crossing, detonate the barrel on the pressure plate after the first platform moves out so you can transfer to the second.

First chest and lift
Open Stone Quake near Mercyheart Monastery. Take the supplied Fire Arrows, release a barrel from the dispenser and place it beside the cracked wall. Stand back before igniting it, then collect the revealed chest.
Get another barrel and place it on the raised floor switch to activate the lift. Stand on the lift’s own switch to descend. Collect the chest near its lower exit before taking the stairs.
Search both levels of the barrel chamber
The large chamber contains two separate wall rewards: one behind the grouped barrels on the lower route and one behind the cracked wall on the upper level. Ignite the barrel groups from a clear, distant position and use the ladder to inspect the upper wall.
Do not assume one large explosion opened every obstruction. Check each damaged wall visually, then walk through and collect the chest; the explosion itself does not credit unopened treasure.
Send a barrel upstairs
- Release a fresh barrel and place it on the lift between the two braziers.
- Obtain another barrel and place it on the pressure switch beside that lift.
- Wait for the first barrel to rise into position.
- Shoot the elevated barrel with a Fire Arrow to set off the upper chain.
- Climb back up and follow the newly cleared route.
The two barrels have different jobs. Blowing up the switch weight too soon can move the lift before its cargo reaches the explosion chain.
Open the shortcut by the fifth chest
Drop along the cleared upper route to the chest before the horizontal-platform crossing. Open the nearby door to regain access to a barrel dispenser.
If a dispenser will not provide another barrel, check whether its previous barrel is still weighing down the earlier lift switch. Remove that old weight by detonating it from a safe position, then return for the new one.
Stop the first platform at the transfer point
Place a barrel on the floor switch beside the crossing and board the first moving platform. When it reaches the transfer position, shoot the barrel you left on the switch. Removing that weight stops the platform from taking you back.
Now transfer to the second platform and continue to the final chest. Set your camera toward the switch before the ride so you can find the barrel quickly when the platform stops.
Completion checklist
Collect five side chests and the final treasure. If the counter is short, revisit the initial cracked wall, lift exit, both walls of the large chamber and the chest before the final crossing. Fleeting Leg Wraps are among the first-clear rewards.
