Mystery chest

[frdnwsm]

I found a metal chest a while ago, couldn't open it, stuck it in a storage box near the North Gate of Cyseal, and promptly forgot about it. I recently stowed some other gear in the same box, and rediscovered it. I remember now why I stuck it in storage; couldn't figure out how to open it. There's probably a clue at the place where I found it, but ... I can't remember now where that was. Doh!

OK, I'll describe it, and maybe someone will recognize where it came from. There can't be too many metal chests like it.

Examining it reveals that it has 54,500 Hits, is 100% immune to any sort of magical effect or element, including Tenebrium, its lock has a complexity of 99 and it has an armor rating of 270 or so. Needless to say, it's locked. It's probably made from a Vibranium-Adamantium alloy; it looks to be in the same class as something like Captain America's shield.

All that is missing is a sign saying "Lissen up, sucka! No way you're gonna open this puppy without the key!". I'd like to go back and look for it, but not sure where that might be. Anyone recognize the description and know where it's from?

It's one of the indestructible chests, a metal one. These are the stats all indestructible items have.

A lock level of 99 means it's not supposed to be opened by any other means than either story code or the key for it. I think will not even open with a magical unlock scroll, because if I don't mix up numbers, magical unlock scrolls can open locks up to lock level 50.

So without finding the key, you will have no luck.

And ... I don't remember any metal chest with a 99 lock level, but it could be one of those dug up from a grave at the Cyseal church graveyard. (When I play, I never bother to examine chests because I know all the keys.)

Huh. I did go to the churchyard, but I ran from the maniac, since I didn't see any way to deal with his swarm of walking bombs. I did pause to dig up a bunch of graves near the front of the graveyard, however. So, he might have the key? I won't be going back there until I have a few more levels under my belt.

And how do you "know" a key, anyway?

[FrauBlake]

I don't know if I should spoiler it ...

It's a chain of keys, one is directly dug up and the others are all in such containers, always for the next chest until you finally dig up the last one with possibly some nice treasure in it.

There are several ways to deal with the bombs, water is one and chain reaction is another.
Oil can slow them when they approach and oil is also lit by fire ...

I know that there are keys for almost every chest and door because I played through the game several times already. Most of the time, the keys are pretty close to the object they open. The only key that comes to mind that is very far away from the chest it opens is the key for Braccus Rex's chest.
