Once Human incentivizes exploration as each major point of interest in the game has a set of objectives that you can complete for various rewards. High Banks is one such location, and in this guide, we will be helping you find all the gear crates, as well as the Mystical one, to help you complete the objectives there!
High Banks All Mystical, Weapon & Gear Crates Location
As always, I’ll be skipping the rift anchor as this is always shown in the map for every area that has one. One thing to keep in mind though is that the one in High Banks will be tucked into the town, and you’ll need to fight your way to it.
SIDE NOTE: We have a collective and complete guide for all Weapon, Gear & Mystical crates in all the locations of Once Human, make sure to check it out!
Since this is already in the level 11 to 15 region, I’m going to assume you already know the basics such as which crates do and don’t count by now. With that said, let’s get to their locations!
High Banks Crate #1 – Mystical + Ede Fight
The Mystical crate in this location is in the center of the town, where there are a lot of tents and a big stage. It isn’t exactly hidden since it’s sitting on the stage itself with a distinct red glow that you can see from a distance.
There’s a catch, though. This is where this zone’s one elite enemy spawns, and it’s a giant balloon monster known only as Ede. It’s actually pretty easy to deal with, so here are a few tips on how to fight it:
- Aim for the glowing balloon – Its weak spot is whichever balloon is currently glowing. All you have to do is shoot it until it pops, and another will eventually start glowing after a brief moment.
- Fireworks attack – If Ede extends its arm forward and starts sparking, it’s about to shoot fireworks at you. Run behind something large enough to block its hits, as they will be rapid and painful. (I learned that the hard way, lol)
- Hammer attack – If a red circle appears on your feet, dodge away. After a brief moment, a hammer will drop on that location, dealing massive damage.
- Keep your distance – Whenever he is not doing either of these special attacks, Ede will try to block its face and charge towards you, so stay mobile.
High Banks Crate #2 – Weapon
After this, the next crate is going to be in one of the big houses in the upscale part of town down south. Head up the road leading to the hills and enter the first house along the way there.
Once you enter the main building, head up to the second floor and the weapon crate will be sitting there waiting for you. Mini map is highlighted for reference, and you can’t miss this house as it’s directly to the south of town.
High Banks Crate #3 – Gear
Finally, head to the westernmost villa all the way to the highest point of the hill at the very end of the road leading up. As soon as you approach the gate, you should be able to spot the gear crate on the balcony of the house.
Simply go in and fight your way to the second floor to get it. Watch out for the strange mouth thing at the stairs, as it will periodically start vomiting to block the way. I have no idea how to get rid of it permanently.
BONUS TIP – Side Quest Crate Code
If you entered the hotel lobby after the Mystical crate, you might have started the Boy Just Wanna Have Fun side quest. It’s relatively straightforward, and the hints are very easy to understand.
In the unlikely event that you’re confused, though, like all the people in my server’s chat, the code to the crate at the café is 325. You’ll still need to find the hints before you can open it, so just follow the blue quest markers if you’re doing it.
And that is pretty much everything you need to know for this location’s exploration objectives. While you’re here, check out our guide on all the crate locations in Hearst Industries in Once Human, as it is another place in this region that you might have not visited yet!
