Strongboxes are reward containers spread across every region Emma and Koo travel through in Beast of Reincarnation. Each one holds at least one useful item, from stacks of Amber to armor and crafting parts. Most open the moment you interact with them, but a handful are sealed behind a numeric code, a timed button minigame, or a locked door that needs a specific key.
Quick answer: Open any Strongbox on sight. Enter 08110 for the code-locked box in Cliffside Village, complete the on-screen button sequence for quicktime-locked boxes, and carry the red, blue, or yellow key for door-gated boxes. The sealed ones hold the strongest rewards, so prioritize them.
How Strongboxes lock and unlock
Every Strongbox falls into one of four types. Knowing which one you are looking at tells you exactly what you need before you can claim the loot.
| Type | How to open |
|---|---|
| Standard | Interact with it and take the reward. No requirement. |
| Code-locked | Enter a numeric code. The code is carried by a nearby Elite enemy, but the number is fixed each playthrough, so you can input it without the fight. |
| Minigame-locked | Pass a timed quicktime event by pressing the button prompts in the shown order before the timer runs out. |
| Key-door | Sits behind a locked door. You need the matching colored key, earned through story progress. |
Note: The coded and minigame boxes are the ones worth chasing. They consistently hold better contents than the standard boxes, including armor, Memory Chips, and Facility Modules.
Cliffside Village Strongbox code: 08110
The code-locked Strongbox sits on a table in the middle of the large tent at Cliffside Village, in the southwest of the Ogouchi Buffer Zone. The code is 08110. An Elite Golem nearby drops the same number, but beating it is optional since the code never changes. Enter it and the box opens with 452 Amber, two Recovery Tonic (S), a Decayed Charm I, an Ancient Book (Common), and a Memory Chip.
A second early code box, found underground in Subcity, uses a button sequence instead of numbers. Press the prompts in the order shown to pop it and collect two Memory Chips.
Every zone that contains Strongboxes
Strongboxes appear across all of the game’s regions. Whenever you enter a new area, sweep containers, cliff edges, warehouses, and tunnel ends, since boxes are frequently tucked inside shipping containers, on rooftops, and at the ends of caves.

Ogouchi Buffer Zone Strongbox locations and rewards
The opening region is the densest for Strongboxes, with boxes clustered around the villages and the three Subcities. Two of them share a red-key door tied to the Gatekeeper at Subcity 03. You receive that key by following the story toward the Nushi’s Lair.

You will know a box is claimed once the reward pops into your inventory and the container shows as opened. If a coded box refuses to open, the input order is wrong, so re-enter 08110 at Cliffside Village or repeat the button sequence for a minigame box before the timer expires. Key-gated boxes simply stay shut until you have earned the matching red, blue, or yellow key through the story, so return to them once the right key is in hand.
