Can't Destroy Orym Chests
I'm at the end of my first Orym Trial and it tells me to "Destroy the Orym chest", but melee with my shield is not doing anything but swinging through it. The "chest" seems indestructible. Is this a bug? So frustrating.

The controller controls seem to show "charged" melee, but holding down the X button doesn't do anything other than swing right away.

This is definitely a bug. I think it might be related to going out of bounds and restarting. Even though I restarted the chest was still locked. I had to go out of bounds, let the timer expire, and THEN restart before the chest was unlocked.

This needs to get fixed. There's nothing more frustrating than going through one of these trials from the beginning only to end up with a locked chest.

Did you hit all the glowing spheres along the path? Its a checkpoint race, it will tell you that you can destroy the chest with melee nonetheless you hit all the checkpoints. If you hit all then it should open.

I think it'd be hard to miss one in this one as they're pretty centralized. If that is the case, though, it should give more clear feedback that all checkpoints weren't hit rather than tell me that I can now use melee to open the chest.

Same thing here. I restarted a few times and when I did make it I can't Destroy the Orym chest...

You have to hit all the glowing checkpoints along the way for the plant to open up and give you a button prompt to finish the task. If you have hit all of them and it still won't let you interact, then please report it as instructed in the thread Zyddie linked above, so the developers can investigate it.
The touching white glowies should have appeared plainly obvious to me, but I missed noticing the requirement the first time as well. I incorrectly assumed they would be blue positive buffs and red negative buffs, not checkpoints. Letting the timer expire out of bounds, and restarting worked. Thanks all above.

Havent done oryms for a while now - but wasnt it similiar to the gorks that you had to "use" the flower/chest and not hit melee?

Nope, Orym end points have to be meleed, but they will only be open if you collected all the glowing checkpoints.
