Hi, I'm Leto. This is my first post.

I'm just started and I saw a chest across the river behind my house. How do I go there?

This qualifies as a minor Spoiler, but:

[+] SPOILER

You have to go the "long way 'round", to the (edit:)West, to reach it. When you've reached the dam, you'll find the way to get there...

Also, there are some chests later on that are truly inaccessible, so don't beat yourself up if you can't figure out how to get to one.

East? Surely you mean west?

Dangit!!

Yes, I mean West.
I'll edit the original to fix that...
