All Far Cry 6 Criptograma chest locations

Searching for Far Cry 6 Criptograma chest locations? Finding these little sketches is the key to opening special chests scattered throughout Yara and earning yourself some advanced gear. By unlocking Criptograma chests, you can get your hands on the Mark II Rioter, Fuego, and Hazmat sets, which each offer their own particular damage resistance. Perfect if you're not really into keeping things quiet.

But with two charts needed to open each chest, and fifteen chests overall, that's a whole lot to hunt down. In this Criptograma locations guide, I'm breaking down chests into individual regions, and explaining how to find the emblems for each. The gear that each chest contains is also listed, just so you don't have to waste your time finding armor sets you don't want.

If you plan on heading to these right away, try unlocking the Avispa Buzzer Helicopter. It's extremely maneuverable, allowing you to easily fly at ground level and avoid the anti-aircraft guns in each region. If you have dynamite equipped to your Supremo, you can also throw it out of the Buzzer to blow up the guns while still in flight. You can also get some better guns to deal with Castillo's soldiers with this Far Cry 6 unique weapons list.
