The East Crater (E6) is the late eastern crater that opens after you read the Treasure Map from Tower of Revival. Use the finder below for every Gray, Red, Green, and Blue chest, the permanent Super Grab Gloves, the Night Vision Scope, the Diamonds Crest collectible, all eight Musical Coins, and exact room-map links for Day/Night and each map variant.
FIRST CLEAR PRIORITY
Open the Gray Chest for Super Grab Gloves
Carry the Gray Key (rooms 0, 7, 14, 20, 24) to the Gray Chest in room 21 and take the Super Grab Gloves. They permanently upgrade grab so Wario can lift and throw heavy enemies and objects, and they unlock W4 A Town in Chaos V3, E3 Castle of Illusions V3, and E7 Forest of Fear V2. On the same crater loop, grab the Green Chest Night Vision Scope for Sea Turtle Rocks V4, then clean Diamonds Crest, Earthen Figure, and Musical Coins as Fire Drencher, Jackhammer, or Pickaxe open harder variants.

ABILITY · SUPER GRAB
How Super Grab Gloves work
Super Grab is permanent ability power-up level 9. It upgrades the basic Grab Glove from S4 The Steep Canyon so Wario can lift and throw heavy enemies and objects. Use it whenever a heavy block, enemy, or object seals a treasure route.

|---|---|---|
| Heavy Grab and Throw | E6 Gray Chest · Super Grab Gloves | Lift heavy objects that the basic Grab Glove cannot move |
| A Town in Chaos map variant 3 | W4 after Super Grab Gloves | Extra revisit routes in A Town in Chaos |
| Castle of Illusions map variant 3 | E3 after Super Grab Gloves | Extra Castle of Illusions layout |
| Forest of Fear map variant 2 | E7 after Super Grab Gloves | Extra Forest of Fear revisit routes |

UNLOCK · OVERWORLD
How to open The East Crater
Treasure Map opens the crater from Castle of Illusions
Collect the Treasure Map from the Green Chest in S3 Tower of Revival. Reading the map opens E6 The East Crater from E3 Castle of Illusions.
Once E6 is available, prioritize Super Grab Gloves, then Night Vision Scope for Sea Turtle Rocks V4. Later, tools from S6 Above the Clouds—Fire Drencher, Jackhammer, and Pickaxe—unlock E6 map variants 2–4 for sealed routes.

FAQ
The East Crater FAQ
How do you open The East Crater in Wario Land 3?
Collect the Treasure Map from the Green Chest in Tower of Revival. Reading the map opens The East Crater from Castle of Illusions.
How do you get Super Grab Gloves / heavy grab?
Open the Gray Chest in The East Crater. The Gray Key appears in rooms 0, 7, 14, 20, and 24, and the Gray Chest is in room 21. Super Grab permanently upgrades grab so Wario can lift and throw heavy objects. The basic Grab Glove from The Steep Canyon is the earlier light-grab step.
What does Super Grab unlock on the overworld?
Besides the ability itself, Super Grab Gloves unlocks A Town in Chaos map variant 3, Castle of Illusions map variant 3, and Forest of Fear map variant 2. Use those revisits when chest or coin routes in those levels are still sealed.
What does the Night Vision Scope do?
It unlocks Sea Turtle Rocks map variant 4. Grab the Green Chest in room 13 when that route is free so late North treasures open.
What does the Diamonds Crest do?
Diamonds Crest is one of four card-suit Crests (Clubs, Spades, Hearts, Diamonds). The set counts toward 100% treasure completion and does not open a separate overworld gate.
How many Musical Coins are in The East Crater?
Eight—the same as every other level. Use the coin table above or the full Musical Coins Finder if you are missing one for 100% side goals.
Does The East Crater have a boss?
No named boss arena is tied to The East Crater. The level’s main progression value is Super Grab Gloves, Night Vision Scope for Sea Turtle Rocks V4, and late crater variants gated by Above the Clouds tools.
Is it Gray Chest or Grey Chest?
Both spellings refer to the same chest. This guide uses Gray in player-facing text and also matches grey in search.
