Every now and then, Piggy Intercity players stumble across something that feels like it wasn’t meant to be found. Hidden rooms, strange shortcuts, and secret areas have always been part of the game’s charm, but this one might be the most interesting discovery yet.
A hidden red chest has been found inside a locked-off section of The Keep, and inside it is one of the rarest armor pieces currently available: the Metal Gloves.
The catch? Getting there is not easy.
Most players will never even see the area because it’s hidden behind invisible barriers and inaccessible castle sections. If you’re willing to spend a few minutes mastering some tricky jumps, though, you can reach the chest and claim the reward for yourself.
How to Unlock the Metal Gloves Armor in Piggy Intercity
You’ll want at least 120 Health before attempting this route.
There are a few risky jumps involved, and you’ll eventually need to drop into the secret area. Having extra health gives you some room for mistakes and helps ensure you survive the final descent.
Once you’re ready, travel to The Keep, the medieval-themed city located on the edge of the map.
Why This Secret Area Is Hidden
If you’ve explored The Keep before, you’ve probably noticed the castle’s rear section.
The doors don’t open.
Invisible walls block access.
No matter how much you run around looking for an entrance, you won’t find one through normal gameplay.
That’s because the route requires using rooftops, invisible ledges, and some unusual movement tricks to reach areas players aren’t normally supposed to stand on.
Reaching the Castle Wall
Start by locating the smaller house near the castle.
From there, jump onto the lower roof and use it to reach the larger rooftop above. This may take a few attempts, especially if you’re not used to roof-hopping in Intercity.
Once you make it onto the upper roof, walk around the invisible obstacle sitting on top of it. After that, head toward the railing and carefully jump onto the nearby castle wall.
At this point, you’re officially entering the hidden route.
The Difficult Wall Jump
This next section is where most players struggle.
Open your Roblox settings and enable the camera option that keeps the camera locked directly behind your character.
With the setting enabled, move toward the tiny ledge located along the wall.
The ledge is extremely small and difficult to notice. You’ll need to jump toward it while quickly adjusting your camera angle.
Don’t get frustrated if it takes several attempts.
Eventually, you’ll catch the ledge correctly and launch yourself onto the higher section of the wall.
Climbing the Invisible Barrier
After reaching the upper wall, move toward the corner where two invisible barriers meet.
Face the wall and begin repeatedly jumping while moving backward.
Eventually you’ll receive a larger boost than normal.
When that happens, push against the invisible barrier to keep yourself suspended and continue adjusting your camera while jumping.
It sounds strange, but that’s currently the trick players are using to gain enough height to reach the next section.
Patience is key here.
Finding the Correct Tower Window
Once you reach the tower area, disable the camera lock setting.
Now head toward the tower windows.
Only one of these windows contains an invisible platform.
The easiest way to identify it is by carefully jumping near each window until you find the one that allows you to stand on something invisible.
When you’ve found the correct window, you’re ready for the next step.
Using Click-to-Move
Open the Roblox menu and switch your movement mode to Click to Move.
If you’re playing on PC, right-click the rooftop destination ahead and allow your character to walk automatically.
The important part here is not touching your keyboard while the movement is happening.
Mobile players can accomplish the same thing by tapping the destination and allowing the character to move without interruption.
For whatever reason, manually moving through this section often causes players to fall.
Entering the Secret Area
Once your character reaches the rooftop destination, disable Click-to-Move.
Now carefully approach the edge of the roof.
This part is important:
Do not jump.
Instead, simply walk off the roof.
If possible, try landing on one of the tables below to reduce fall damage.
Jumping often causes extra damage and can result in an unnecessary death, especially if your health is lower than recommended.
Opening the Secret Red Chest
After landing safely, you’ll finally be inside the hidden section behind the castle.
Look around and you’ll spot the red chest.
Open it to claim the Metal Gloves, one of the rarest armor pieces currently obtainable through this hidden route.
Considering how difficult the path is, it’s easy to see why so few players actually own them.
The secret Metal Gloves route is one of the coolest hidden discoveries currently available in Piggy Intercity. It combines parkour, movement exploits, invisible platforms, and a genuinely hidden reward that most players would never find on their own.
Just be prepared to fail a few jumps along the way. The route isn’t impossible, but it definitely tests your patience.
If the developers decide to patch the method in a future update, this hidden chest could become even more famous among longtime Intercity players. So if you’ve been thinking about trying it, now might be the best time to see whether you can reach the secret red chest for yourself.
