How do i open these chests¿

i dont how to open these random chest i have found

You right click on them.

This should be obvious.

If their the special looking ones in the dungeon such as the red ones you need special keys you get in hardmode

[ShadeDaystar]

Also the purple ones require a shadow key, and some of the gold ones require a gold key.

But the plain brown ones, and most of the other ones, you just open by right clicking. The game's set up with mostly left click or right click interactions.

Without a picture I can only assume you mean special chests that require a special key.

First, there are Gold chests that spawn in the Dungeon that require a Gold key to open. This key can drop from monsters in the Dungeon itself, or found in regular brown chests in the Dungeon.

What you may also come across in the Dungeon is a special themed chest. When in hardmode, key molds can drop from mobs of a specific biome (Underground Jungle yields Jungle Key Mold, Crimson yields Crimson Key Mold, etc). And you use that mold along with other items to craft a key that can open that chest. These are generally late game.

The third kind of locked chest is a Shadow Chest in the Underworld. These require a Shadow Key which comes out of a Gold Chest in the Dungeon.

If you are, however, talking about normal chests, then you just right click. I really hope you aren't talking about these.

This strat really works. Helped me out of all my chest opening problems.

Key molds no longer drop. Now its just the keys.
