All 21 Alex Casey Lunchboxes
Lunchboxes are small red boxes hidden around Saga's three areas. There's no lock or puzzle: find one and it's yours. Each holds Manuscript Fragments, which you spend on Saga's weapon upgrades in the Mind Place. There are 21: eight in Cauldron Lake, six in Watery and seven in Bright Falls, worth 128 fragments in all.
Before you start
- How to spot one: look for colourful knitting or painted stones around a small red box, and sometimes a trinket hanging in a tree nearby.
- Nothing is in Return 4 or Return 6. Six are there from Return 1, two open in Return 2, all six in Watery are there in Return 3, and the last seven wait for Return 5.
- One needs the Bolt Cutters from Return 5: Rental Cabins (8), back at Cauldron Lake.
- All 21 plus all 22 Cult Stashes earn the “Hidden by the Trees” achievement.
- None are missable until Saga's open areas close at the end of Return 6. The game warns you first.

Where guides disagree
Every location above is one that several guides agree on. These details don't fully line up:
- Lighthouse Trailer Park (12). Two guides say its gate needs a Trailer Park Key; neither says where the key comes from, and others don't mention one.
- Woods South-West of Valhalla (18). Most guides say the southern flooding has to drain first; one says the gate needs the Bolt Cutters instead.
- Bunker Woods Hillside (16) and the Nursing Home office (17). One guide calls the Nursing Home “the manor”. Its directions match the other guides once you read it that way.
- Fragment counts. Only two guides list how many fragments each box holds. They agree on every box.
- New Game Plus. No guide we checked says whether lunchboxes refill in The Final Draft.
