Level 5 Faradus fountain chest

[krzych881]

Hey i have a question about a chest that is in water on level 5, i have connected faradus to the fountain and water level raised but i still cant reach the chest is there a way to do it?

Hello, you can pick it up - but you need to stand very close to it. We will extend the range for it.

Still cant reach it :( no matter how close i get to the ledge

after few more attempts i managed to open it from the ledge thanks for quick replay

that is not a feature of course - we will fix this damn chest. I hope at least that the loot was good?

I was tempted to try again after you said that but it is just a lesson of frustration. Very annoying issue and I hope it can be fixed soon. It's just one chest but I'm a completest and that 18/19 Chests is going to drive me nuts.

Any idea when this will get fixed? My completionist tendencies are getting a little frustrated.

May 5th, can't open it here either.

It's still openable, it just takes a lot of re-approaching the little corner/wall closest to the chest and clicking it. You basically have to land in the perfect spot to be able to "reach" it. It took me like 10 minutes of trying.

Which brings me to talk about one of the worst things about this game - the pathing. It can be really bad on stairs and ramps and in cases like this.

A good workaround for pathing mistakes is holding the mouse button instead of clicking. This way the path gets continually updated and you can just trail to the right direction. This may also help in reaching this damn chest :)

This is extremely irritating - still unable to open it after 15 minutes of fully zoomed in and trying to reposition (tried both the corner above and below the attachment point for Faradus (as mousing over the chest seems to have the closest point of it's hitbox at it's bottom right).
Also you might want to move the note with the code for the mana diffuser into a spot with better lighting as that took several runs past it before I finally spotted it due to it being almost invisible.
Other than that though loving the game :)

Edit: well 20 mins of pure stubbornness paid off (green helmet lol but can 100% the floor now). Worked by standing at the bottom right edge of the metal block where you connect Faradus to the fountain then just clicking up between the chest and the small pillar thing with the lamp on it. There seemed to be no difference between the try where I could open the chest and the previous tries (Kane's left foot was just on the metal rim area surrounding the pool). Hope this helps anyone else trying for this but yeah, could do without a repeat :p

Its important which 'part' of a chest is clicked. Should try standing as close to chest as possible (bottom right side of fountain) and click bottom right part of chest.

This actually made no difference to me when I opened it myself. It was just the position of the character apparently (I had thought the same originally but was just clicking on the middle of the chest after each reposition and it opened fine).

Thanks for the update I was finally able to get the chest opened.
