A Chest is an object that contain a number of rewards. Whenever the player encounters a chest, they can choose open it to obtain a reward inside, or they may skip the chest.
There are two different types of chests.
Boss Chest[]
A boss chest can only be found after completing a boss fight, and will allow the player a choice of one out of three Boss Relics. They can be skipped, but doing so is not ideal, as Boss Relics are very powerful.
Non-boss Chest[]
Non-boss chests can be found in a Treasure Room. These chests will give the player one relic from the Common, Uncommon, or Rare relic pool. They will also have a chance to give the player a certain amount of gold.
There are 3 variations of non-boss chests, each with their own chances of appearance and rewards inside.
Small Chest | Medium Chest | Large Chest | |
---|---|---|---|
Chance | 50% | 33% | 17% |
Relic Rewards | |||
Common | 75% | 35% | 0% |
Uncommon | 25% | 50% | 75% |
Rare | 0% | 15% | 25% |
Gold Rewards | |||
Chance | 50% | 35% | 50% |
Amount | 23-27 | 45-55 | 68-82 |
If Act 4 is unlocked and the player has not already picked up the Sapphire Key, the non-boss chest in each area contain the key, but linked to a relic, meaning the player can only pick one or the other. If the key is not picked, it will continue to show up in all later non-boss chests until it is picked.
The following relics will interact with non-boss chests:
- Matryoshka: Causes the next 2 non-boss chests you open to have 2 relics inside.
- N'loth's Hungry Face: Causes the next non-boss chest you open to be empty.
- Cursed Key: Whenever you open a non-boss chest, obtain a Curse.
