Mystical Crates are one of the best ways to gain better gear blueprints inOnce Human, providing unique rewards. Each crate can only be opened once per season, but they contain valuable blueprint fragments, decor formulas, and currencies.
While every settlement has a checklist of items to complete that includes finding the area’s Mystical Crate, some crates can be found elsewhere by completing purple orb puzzles. Below you’ll find the complete list of all Mystical Crates in Iron River and Chalk Peak as of the date of this publishing.
Once Human: Mystical Crate Locations (Dayton Wetlands & Broken Delta)
In Once Human, valuable weapon and armor blueprints can be found in Mystical Crates. Here are their locations in Dayton Wetlands & Broken Delta.
Iron River
There are 12 Mystical Crates to Find
Just north of the opening region, Dayton Wetlands is the Iron River region. With most enemies being around level 20, it is somewhat more difficult than in earlier areas. This area has a forested, mountainous geography with the occasional aggressive boars and wolves. Iron River’s stronghold is Greywater Camp, and the settlements are made up of towns, industrial areas, and Rosetta bases. There are twelve total Mystical Crates, with four being found by completing orb puzzles.

In the East side of the Securement Point, you’ll find a large square building surrounded by Rosetta Agents. Clear the Agents and step inside, where a glass room will be on your Left. You will need a Rosetta V2 Access Card to open the doors, which can be found on the nearby Rosetta Heavy if needed.
Floating in the air

On the North side of the base, there is a set of boxes stacked up leading to the roof of a small building. Jump up the boxes to reach the walkway above, and you’ll see a floating purple orb. Follow the walkway and carefully jump onto the pipes along the building, then jump and paraglide to hit the orb.
On the Roof

5206, -3772
Climb the metal stairways and platforms to the North of the building. Follow around the side until you reach a ladder leading onto the roof. Continue climbing the ladders until you find the Rift Anchor, where you can then drop to the ledge with the crate. Alternatively, you can jump off of the cliff at (5014, -3950) and safely paraglide to the rooftop.

Follow the ledge straight and around the corner to the Left, where you’ll find another hole in the windows. Enter the hospital again here, and immediately go up the stairs where the blue tarps are to your Right. Once you reach the roof, turn Right again and head to the Right of the broken helipad. You’ll see the crate in the corner of the roof.
