At the beginning of the Cacti Canyon map, you will find the first chest a bit far to the right corner. This chest rewards you with TNT and The Green Menace.

Right from your previous location, head straight to the top corner of the map to find your second chest. You will get a Trickbow and Strength Potion or Mercenary Armor from this chest.

Secret Location in Cacti Canyon
From the middle area section you explored during the second chest, proceed straight to the other section of the map. Here, you need to move to the right corner of the map, where you power the 5 beacons. You will find a small floating island between the cliff and in front of the waterfall. Jump on it, and you will find a hidden treasure chest. This chest contains a Heavy Crossbow and a Trickbow.
How to Find Hidden Secret Chests in Cacti Canyon?
One thing about secret chests is that they do not appear on maps like normal ones, nor can you see them; therefore, finding them can be tricky. But there is a small trick to make this task easier. Every secret chest has a low, constant sound every time it’s in the surroundings. This can serve as a guide to track them.
To hear the sound of the chest more clearly, go to the Audio settings and turn off the Music and Ambience volume. When you go to an area with a secret chest buried nearby, you will hear the low sound of the chest; you need to move around the area to wait for the sound to get louder and louder. A loud sound means the chest is close to you.
