Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

  1. 0:23Emoting breaks a secret rock wall at Fortune's Fort waterfall, revealing a cave containing chests.
  2. 3:47Destroying chests also gives a chance at the Pirate Token; manually opening each one is unnecessary.
  3. 4:36Typical Gamer warns that most players will not find the token and says to keep expectations low.
  4. 10:08The Cursed Cavern route runs through multiple levels, ziplines and secret rooms containing loot.
  5. 17:09A resort area west of Rubber Resort provides access to a beach packed with buried treasure chests.
  6. 22:42An outdoor chest yields Solid Gold A$AP Rocky's Gauntlets, a different rare reward from the sought-after token.

The chests can be smashed. Typical Gamer's useful clarification in his TG Plays Pirate Token guide is that destroying a chest, rather than opening it by hand, still gives players a chance at the rare reward.

The tutorial has reached about 1.2 million views in its first day, far beyond the channel's usual early audience. Its companion Short, "Item Shop Pirate Coin Tip - Breaking chests is as good as opening chests", is also drawing an unusually fast start.

Playing as Monkey D. Luffy, he begins at Fortune's Fort, where an emote breaks a secret rock wall behind a waterfall. Inside is a cave of chests. Later routes take him through Cursed Cavern's levels and secret rooms, then onto a beach west of Rubber Resort dotted with buried treasure.

The attraction is substantial: he says the Pirate Shop Access token unlocks the entire Item Shop free for two weeks. But this is a search route, not a guaranteed shortcut. His quest menu shows hundreds of chests already opened without finding it.

"Most people will not get Pirate Shop Token, okay? It's just not going to happen," he says, explicitly asking viewers to keep their expectations low.

The busy comments section mixes inventories of rewards players say they have collected with practical questions, including whether dying while carrying the token affects keeping it.

His own hunt produces a different prize: Solid Gold A$AP Rocky's Gauntlets. After the match, he inspects and equips the newly claimed pickaxe in the lobby.
