Special Chests
Special Chests are objects that can appear in place of normal Chests.
Contents
Mechanics
Each type of special chest has an immediate effect when opened, and gives an item with a related keyword.
You may set one type of special chest in your loadout before beginning a quest. Your selected special chest has a 10% chance to replace regular chests.
The keyword items that drop from chests are still limited by the normal chest coin range, which is based on Stage Power. If only one keyword item is in the price range it will always drop. If all the keyword items are too expensive, you will get a random non-keyword cheaper item. Present Chest is the exception, it ignores the coin limit instead of having a theme.
Unlock Conditions
Each type of special chest must be unlocked. Quests have a ~10% chance to have a locked chest. If one is present:
- In a stage near the start of the quest, find a hint sign
- Somewhere in the first half of the quest, use the hint to obtain the
Treasure Key
- In a stage in the second half of the quest, find a new type of special chest and use the key to unlock it.
This type of chest will now be available in your loadout. You do not need to win the quest.
Stage Keys
A sign says "There is a secret in STAGE_NAME!"
In that stage, obtain the key by interacting with an object or cell.
