Try to complete a lesson in the morning before 12 pm, you will be getting the chance of unlocking the Early bird challenge. When you will get the notification in the evening, you will also get ready to work as a night owl. Both of the chests will help you to earn XP Boost. You can also take a lesson offline, however, it will not help you, if you want to use XP boost.

2. Do not ignore your path

When you are studying the course, you must make sure that you are completing each lesson on the path. Further, you must also remember that you are completing all the units along with the path.

Do not forget your ultimate goal of learning the language and staying focused on the path. When you will stay activated on your path it will help you to unlock more Duolingo chests.

Daily quests are the ones which are easiest to unlock. In it, the tasks are easy to take up. Each task will help you to earn some XP.
