Niflheim chest bug

[Dark Fox]

So I'm a masochist who's decided to buy and upgrade everything before NG+ and I'm doing niflheim runs to take a break from muspelheim challenges, I've noticed sometimes the boss areas and the trap corridors leading to them will sometimes have the chests already opened, It's happening consistently and it's usually always the second boss area that will have empty chests. I've tried reloading checkpoints, restarting the game, leaving the area and coming back but nothing seems to work. Anyone experienced this before or have a solution?

It's an old bug and it's been there since the very beginning.

The only way to prevent this (kind of) is not to change direction. If you choose the right path, don't loot the chest on the left. You'll open it when you go back. And vice versa. Loot the first arena, but don't open chests on those contraptions on the left/right. In other words, don't go back, unless you're coming back from a boss arena.

You can open these buggy legendary chests and red coffins. It doesn't always work, but you can run through the maze again without leaving. This fixes them sometimes. An opened chest/red coffin that can't be opened will have a prompt. You can open an already opened chest sometimes twice. Again, that doesn't always work, but I don't think it's worth the hassle. Just go out and do it again.

And don't even bother messaging SMS about that. I told them over a year a go, they don't care.

Thanks, just so I understand, in the entrance area where backwards is sindri and forwards is the inner area, don't open any chests sticking out of the trap walkways unless they're in the direction you're going or until you complete the whole lap?

Yes. You'll get them at the very end. It may not work every time, but it definitely helps.

Cool, thanks again
