Overview
Not that type of chest, perverts! There are a total of 163 chest quotes in game and I can’t find a guide for this subject, I plan to play each chapter pretty thoroughly to find these chests (hence me taking 20 hours to complete the prologue >.>) and list all my findings here. May take a couple of days to complete this guide. If I am missing anything, please inform me so I can add it to this guide =D

Notes
Note 1: This achievement seems to be glitched, so i will have, at the end of each section, how many glitched chests there may be on each chapter. Therefore, SAVE OFTEN. AFTER EACH MISSION, IF POSSIBLE.
Note 2: Missable Chests will be noted
Note 3: (F) means that you will have to fight a wave of monsters in order to get the contents of the chest. Also, pay attention to the compass on the upper right to find the chest since some chests are hidden behind things like trees.

As you enter the first screen, continue the path up to the second part of this area. Before entering the second part of this area, there will be a detour to your right.
As you head towards Esmelas Tower at the second part of this area after the fork in the road, take a detour to your north when you come to it to get this chest.
At the third part of the area (the path approaching the mines), you will encounter a path heading east or north. Choose east to reach this chest. If you are getting this on your first trip, the monsters here will be extremely aggresive.

Tear Balm (15/163)
Head up north from the start of the forest and the first detour you see, go straight right and you will see the chest.
Since there is no map for Mistwald Forest, it will be pretty difficult to get. From the First chest you see, head back left to the normal path and continue north and enter the second area. At the second area, cross the logs on the right and head to the east to another part of the forest. Head east and above you will be an open field. The chest will be on the left side of this field.
End of Prologue results: (15 [+1]/163)
Note: For some reason, the counter didn’t go up for one of these for me. I have no idea which one so I am not sure if one of these chests don’t count or if its a glitch. If anyone has any info, please tell me.
Edit: The first wooden chest in the Rolent Sewers doesn’t seem to count towards the counter for the achievement, but i will advise to make a save here anyways, just in case.

I was going to make a map, but then I learned that my skills in Photoshop suck. Please use the following maps at Gamefaqs [www.gamefaqs.com] (I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR ANY OF THESE) or use the maps in the guide by Black Murasame63 (which I personally used). Both I believe tho has one or two missing chests.
Note: A warning for most fighting chests: They are EXTREMELY difficult if you don’t have the right set-up. If Photon Judges are pesky if you are an Arts oriented team (I personally used Olivier and Kloe) and even then, they hit hard, along with a few other enemies. I suggest getting Joshua to 100 CP (either by spamming Hell Gate/White Gehenna on enemies which get about 30 CP or so per cast) or eating Special Ice Cream and using S-Craft Black Fang whenever you see a Crit/50%. That will kill off almost all the enemies except for the big enemies (Photon Judges, M-Series Dooms, etc). Then just kill these off with crafts or Arts (If you have quartz like Cast or you are fast enough)

Final Chapter Results: 142[+1][+4][+7][+10][+0]
No glitched chest in this chapter, but for some reason, I came out with an extra chest. Two possibilities are:
1) There are actually 164 chests
or
2) The two chests in Rolent Sewers don’t count because they maybe considered Story-related chests (as the achievement description says to open all non-story-related-chests) and I am missing a chest myself. If that’s the case, if I am missing a chest, please tell me!
All in all, 142 is what I see to be the most common number to stop at (I saw a few 143s and 141s here and there though) This concludes my chest guide, so I wish everyone luck in their Treasure Chest spelunking!
Special Thanks To
ladynadiad for giving me countless tips and correcting a few of my mistakes
Saga Saga for telling about the glitched chest (now patched)
IPM for telling me the chests I have missed
And Every one of you for reading my guide! I really appreciate it, so have a nice day. And a few lemons. =)
If I left out someone, please let me know!
