Use the Hell is Us: Solve the Lucky Break Mystery guide to solve one of the mysteries in Vyssa Hills.
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 Lucky Break 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 Lucky Break Mystery can be found in the third area of the game, Vyssa Hills. To complete the mystery, you need to find a rusted key and use it to unlock a chest.
The key can be found in a mine in the Vyssa Hills area. The entrance to the mine is pretty easy to spot. It is below the Timeloop of the area. The entrance has a red sign above it, making it pretty easy to spot.

On entering, head forwards and take the first left. Head down into the mine further (watch out for the enemies) and take the next left that appears. There’s a lot of enemies in this next tunnel. Once you’ve defeated them all, at the end will be the rusted key laying on a corpse.


Now, to the chest! It’s fairly easy to find. From your APC at the start of the area, head to the left, and aim for the waterfall. Go up and behind the waterfall and head to the ledge, defeating any enemies along the way.

The chest is in the corner of some small ruins.

Use the key and unlock the chest. You’ll be rewarded with a Lymbic Polearm and a research item, the Flower Medallion.
