Sea of Stars features a bustling city known as Brisk, brimming with lively vendors, non-player characters (NPCs), valuable treasures, and more. Within this vibrant location, players can engage in a captivating mini-game of chance overseen by a charismatic individual named Mr. Chest. This luck-based game mirrors similar ones found in video games, requiring players to select one out of three chests in hopes of uncovering the coveted 10 gold chest. Successfully choosing the correct chest consecutively yields not only the grand prize but also a special item. To increase their chances of triumph, players will be wise to familiarize themselves with the winning strategy beforehand.
How to Play Mr. Chest's Chump Change Mini Game
In the port town of Brisk, nestled away, lies a quaint little abode where players can encounter Mr. Chest. Within its confines, Mr. Chest extends an invitation to partake in the chump change game, in exchange for a mere five gold coins. The game presents three distinct chests, one of which is empty, another containing a modest sum of two gold coins, and the last harboring the magnificent prize of ten gold coins. Should the player select the chest bearing the grand prize a total of five times, they shall be duly rewarded with a Rainbow Conch shell. Although triumphing in this endeavor does not yield a Sea of Stars achievement, the Conch serves as a testament to one's arduous efforts and is unquestionably worthwhile.
The Best Way to Win Mr. Chest's Chump Change Mini Game
To obtain those five wins without spending gold, the only option seems to be save scumming. Players must proceed south along the alley from Mr. Chest's residence, descend the stairs, and then turn right to reach the nearest save point. It is necessary to save the game after a victory and reset it after a loss. However, it is not mandatory to save scum if players do not wish to do so, as the five grand prize wins can be accumulated non-consecutively. The decision depends on the amount of money held by the players. Nevertheless, it is important to note that save scumming will considerably elongate the overall gameplay time of Sea of Stars.
To repeatedly play Chump Change, players must first speak to Mr. Chest, engage in the game, exit the house, and reenter to commence another round. No specific waiting period is required between playthroughs, although the room needs to be reloaded. When the five wins are achieved, Mr. Chest will reward the player with one of the sixty Rainbow Conches available in Sea of Stars.
