Locked Chests

The landscapes of Tyria, Cantha, Elona and the known parts of the mists, are all dotted with randomly positioned locked chests, which are guaranteed to contain uncommon or rare items. Whenever your party finds a locked chest, multiple party members can each use their own keys to unlock the chest and get their own loot. Monsters randomly drop chest keys, and you can also buy chest keys from Merchants. Chests differ in regions and can only be unlocked with the appropriate key. A chest can only be opened once per player.

A player can open a chest with the corresponding key (i.e. a Krytan Key will open a Krytan Chest). Whoever opens the chest is granted a piece of loot. Therefore, if you open a chest it is not possible for the loot to be assigned to anyone else in your party. Usually, the farther through the game you are the better the loot becomes. The chest loot is randomized for each player so that players may get items of different rarity.

Chest spawns:

With few exceptions, an explorable area ideally has five locked chests. Locked chests will always spawn along with a monster group. Therefore it's not possible to find unguarded locked chests. However, sometimes a chest will be associated with a monster group that has yet to spawn (i.e. a hidden pop-up group like Oni) at which case, approaching the chest will cause them to pop-up.

In areas where there are groups that spawn as a result of taking quests or causing certain triggers (like Luxon groups in the Echovald Forest or Stygian groups in the Stygian Veil), the chest will not appear until the group has been triggered. Previously, such chests used to be unguarded, but since the February 14th, 2007 update they now only appear when their attached spawns are also able to appear.

Locked Chests loot

Loot in locked chests is usually similar to loot dropped by monsters in the explorable area.

For example, Darkstone Chests in Ring of Fire area display these properties:

Thus, when aiming for specific loot, look for chests that are in an explorable area with monsters that can drop the desired item.

Unlocked Chests

In Pre-Searing, players will find lots of unlocked Hidden Stashes. But in Post-Searing, unlocked chests are very uncommon. However, in the Ascalon region players will find piles of Wreckage that may contain some gold or goods.

Unlocked chests are chests that do not require a key, and can be opened by anyone. However, the loot can be assigned to anyone in your party, including henchmen. In the Realms of the Gods, completing a quest will usually reveal a chest near the reward giver that is also an unlocked chest.

Note: While doing the quest Kilroy Stonekin, Sorrow's Furnace will produce three unlocked chests. These chests are not normally part of the area and will not be there without that quest.

Note: There used to be two unlocked chests in Dreadnought's Drift, as well as one in Ice Floe just outside the exit from Thunderhead Keep. These were removed in the March 2nd update.

Mission/Quest Chests

Several quests include chests (e.g. the quest "The Royal Papers"). These are unlocked and reveal quest items when opened.

List of unlocked chests

Prophecies campaign

Factions campaign

Nightfall campaign

1 Stygian Chests, Titan Chests, Torc'qua Chests, Tormented Chests and Citadel Chests work like locked chests except that they don't require a key. The number of anguish gemstones is 1 for the first chest opened on a run, 2 for the second chest opened on a run, 3 for the third and 4 for the fourth.

Notes

Bug Bug! In some quest and missions NPC will become stuck on randomly placed boxes during the run to their target spot and will be unable to move. You will have to restart and the box will be randomly placed again.
