Finish the Forza Horizon 5 New Heights Treasure Hunt by completing a challenge, then finding the Treasure Chest to get a bunch of rewards. For the challenge, you'll need to complete a daring Danger Sign stunt near Mulege which will reveal the rought location of the treasure chest. After you’ve scoured the area and discovered the chest, open (crash into) it to get those Forza Horizon 5 rewards, including 50,000 Credits and a Wheelspin. Here are all the details on how to complete the Forza Horizon 5 Treasure Hunt in Mulege.

Forza Horizon 5 Treasure Hunts are weekly challenges that you can find under the Festival Playlist page when you pause the game. Not every season in a series has a treasure hunt, so you won’t always have one to do. All the information about the current Treasure Hunt is available in the tab that corresponds to the current season. At the end of the hunt, you’ll find a Treasure Chest and will be handsomely rewarded for your efforts with XP, Credits, and Wheelspin.

These Treasure Hunts are quite similar to Forza Horizon 5 Barn Finds, although there are a few key differences. Like Barn Finds, these Treasure Hunts will give you a general area to search for the chest. However, unlike a Barn Find, you’ll need to complete a challenge to reveal this area instead of waiting for a rumor. Complete this challenge and you’ll have the Treasure Hunt location scribbled on your map with a large, red circle. Head into this location and search around for the Treasure Chest – it’s a large wooden chest that has been painted in various colors and has ‘Horizon’ stenciled on both sides. Drive into the chest to break it and you’ll get all your rewards.

There are a few Forza Horizon 5 tips you can use to make these Treasure Hunts a little easier. Mainly that you should use the map filters to declutter the map and make it so only the essential icons are showing. The only icons you should have showing are Seasonal Collectibles, Landmarks, and whichever activity it is you need to do for the Treasure Hunt challenge. Drone Mode will also be really useful for scouting the area.

To find the New Heights Treasure Hunt Treasure Chest in Forza Horizon 5, you first need to get at least two stars on the Heights of Mulege Danger Sign stunt activity while driving the 2020 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray - other challenges and championships might restrict you to using a Forza Horizon 5 reasonably priced car, or some other car type. You can find this Danger Sign and its ramp on a hill just north of the Mulege town. Mulege itself is in the south of the map below the main Horizon Festival Mexico site in Baja California.

To get two stars on the Heights of Mulege Danger Sign, you need to travel at least 400 feet (121.9 meters) in the air after flying off the ramp. Since the 2020 Corvette Stingray is a pretty fast car, you don’t need a huge runup to the ramp to fly far enough. We just about managed to get two stars on this Danger Sign travelling at around 70 mph in the Stingray.

After you’ve completed this part of the Treasure Hunt, you’ll have the Treasure Chest area circled on your map which will be just west of Mulege. The Treasure Chest can be found on the north side of the white crop shelters to the west of Mulege. Drive into the chest to smash it and get your rewards. Make sure you also look out for the Forza Horizon 5 Hold Your Horses Treasure Hunt challenge.
