Use the Hell is Us: Solve the Caddell Family Treasure Mystery Guide to solve one of the six mysteries in Senedra Forest, the first area of the game.

Hell is Us is third-person action-adventure game that aims to “return to the roots of adventure games” by getting players to rely on their instincts rather than way points and map markers. It’s ambitious and quite rewarding to make progress and discover stuff off the beaten path.

There’s a whole host of puzzles, mysteries and strange items to be found in the world of Hadea, where Hell is Us is set. Not to mention weird looking enemies too!

With that in mind, we’ve pulled together some guides which we hope are helpful. Please note that these won’t necessarily be step-by-step walkthroughs, but things to look out for to help solve the mystery.

Hell is Us: Solve the Caddell Family Treasure Mystery Guide

Throughout Hell is Us, you’ll encounter items that pertain to a ‘mystery’. These are described as “curious enigmas and ancient puzzles scattered throughout Hadea”. You can track these in your Datapad where you can see your inventory, general progress and other things.

The Caddell Family Treasure Mystery can be found in the first main area, the Senedra Forest.

You’ll need to progress the main objectives to start with. You’ll come across a yellow house, early on, with a save point outside the front, next to stairs to the basement.

Head down, and speak with the NPC in their, Ernest Caddell. He’ll guide you with your main objective, mentioning finding an APC to the north. He’ll also give you the ‘Key – Caddell Farm’. You’ll need this to progress, so be sure to exhaust all conversation on the left the screen (general knowledge is on the right).

Going on a Treasure Hunt

Progressing, you’ll come across the APC, with a wounded soldier. Follow the wind chimes to get there. He’ll ask you to go get a medkit in order to help him out, in turn he’ll help you with where to go next.

Treasure Hint 1 / 2

As you first arrive at the APC, turn left and double back on yourself slightly (not down the same road you were just on). You should spot a little yellow dot atop of some stacked rocks. Collecting this will unlock the “Caddell Family Treasure” mystery in the Datapad, so you can track it.

Treasure Hint 2 / 2

After speaking with the wounded soldier, he’ll tell you seek out the med kit. Head up the slope, just to the left of where you speak to him and follow the trail round. After the second curve of the road, you’ll start heading straight up. To your left from there, you should see a little path. Look for a tree with a white “X” on it, and turn left from there.

Head down there to find the next treasure hint (glowing yellow orb), sat at the foot of a pile of yellow rocks.

Rusted Key

As you explore, you’ll come across a bit of a clearing with a generator and a light in the clearing. There’s also a tent, where you will find the med kit. Before heading into that space, turn right and run up the path that way. You’ll know you’re in the right place because some barrels (with a white X on them) will be to your right as you run forward. The barrels are at the entrance to a dead end, blocked off by a fallen tree.

Run ahead and up the slope from the barrels. As you reach the top, head left and you’ll spot the rusted key (yellow orb) sat at the bottom of a pile of red stones.

Unlock the Treasure

Head back down from the rusted key area and return to the clearing. Head left (east ish) to find a slightly concealed path behind some trees.

Stick to the left hand side, and you’ll reach a clearing where you have to drop down. Do so and head straight forward to find a treasure chest sat in front of a pile of blue stones.
