Notes

• Opening this chest adds 5 points to the Zaishen title track.
• This chest is mechanically different from chests found in other explorable areas: you cannot open it with a Lockpick; it can be opened more than once without zoning; and, if you have a key, it automatically opens when activated (without the standard key-use dialogue).
• When using multiple keys, you can end up with more drops than your inventory can carry. Bring a Mercantile Summoning Stone to sell unwanted items or be sure to pick up items as they drop so that you do not have to leave any behind.
• Although this chest frequently drops inscribable weapons with maximum stats, it often drops weapons with high-requirements (e.g. rank 12 or 13 in the relevant attribute); on rare occasions, it can also drop non-inscribable weapons or those with below-maximum stats (e.g. a bow that does 15–27 damage instead of 15–28).
• All weapons that drop from this chest have a value of 50 when unidentified.

• Blessing of War was introduced as a drop in the April 22, 2015 update.
