Hey fellow Horizon adventurers! 🎮 Just finished the 'Too Cool To Air' treasure hunt in Forza Horizon 5's Spring season, and let me tell you, it's one of those classic Horizon challenges that's super rewarding once you figure it out. But man, that clue can be a real head-scratcher, and spotting that treasure chest? Nearly impossible without some expert pointers. Don't worry, I've got you covered with this complete, step-by-step breakdown.
You know the drill: treasure hunts pop up regularly, giving us those sweet credits and precious Series Points to unlock new rides and seasonal goodies. This one is no different, but the path to the treasure is what makes it fun! Ready to bag that loot?
First things first, let's crack that clue. It reads: "I hear 25 bels ringing in the air like it's 1957." 🤔 Get it? 'Bels'... '1957'... That's your hint pointing directly to the iconic 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air! Isn't it cool how Playground Games weaves these little puzzles into the game?
So, here's your action plan:
-
Head to your 'My Cars' garage.
-
Press 'Y' on your controller to bring up the filters.
-
Filter by Decade and select '1950s'.
-
Your 1957 Bel Air should show up if you own it.
Don't have the car yet? No stress! Just zip over to the Autoshow. You can snag this classic American beauty for a very reasonable 130,000 Credits. A small investment for a big payoff, right?
Got your Bel Air? Perfect! Now for the first task. The clue mentioned '25 bels,' and in Horizon lingo, that means you need to perform 25 Jump Skills. 🚗💨 You could grind this out by hitting Danger Signs over and over, but trust me, there's a much faster way.
Pro-Tip for Quick Completion:
-
Find a nice, wide, bumpy stretch of desert. The map has plenty!
-
Just drive back and forth over the dunes. Your car will get little airtime with each bump, counting towards your 25 jumps.
-
Crucial Advice: Pick an area with minimal obstacles like trees or rocks. The last thing you want is to wreck your beautiful classic car mid-challenge! This method is way faster and less frustrating than aiming for specific ramps.
Alright, 25 jumps done? The map should now show you the general area of the treasure chest. But 'general area' in Horizon can still mean searching for ages! Let me pinpoint it for you.
Exact Treasure Chest Location:
-
Open your map and look for the treasure chest icon.
-
Just south of that icon, you'll see a dotted dirt road. Set a waypoint there.
-
Drive to that spot. Now, look for a crashed plane with two propellers. It's a pretty distinctive landmark!
-
The Too Cool To Air treasure chest is sitting right on top of the plane's wing. It's a brown chest, waiting to be smashed.
How to Reach the Chest: You can't just drive into the plane. You need to drive up the left side of the wing like it's a ramp. A bit of careful throttle control, and you'll be up there smashing that chest in no time!
💎 Your Rewards:
-
50,000 Credits 💰 (Nice chunk of change!)
-
3 Series Points ⭐
These points are golden! This Spring, you need 25 Points to earn the sleek Gallardo Spyder. And if you're grinding the whole season, grabbing 45 Points before the weekly reset gets you the quirky 1965 Peel Trident. That little car is actually needed for another challenge, the 'Unpeelievable' photo challenge. Speaking of photos, if you have fast travel unlocked, it makes snapping that challenge pic a breeze!
