This is your one Blessing in Disguise for most of the game, but fortunately there’s a second one waiting for you. Once you’re in The Lost Isle, you’ll traverse a large maze with chests scattered all around it. Among these is, you guess it, a Blessing in Disguise in a red chest. The Lost Isle has a Danger Level of 45 and requires a boat to access, so this won’t be feasibly available to you before the late stages of the game.
