Kryptis Greater Arcane Chest

Greater Arcane Chests are chests found in the Horn of Maguuma. Each chest can be opened once per day per account. Greater Arcane Treasures mastery is required to be able to interact with this chest. To open it, a short minigame is required that involves pressing the Channel skill 5 times (or only twice, if Wayfinder Mastery is completed) within 17 seconds, with the running time indicated by the effect  Time Running Out. It is not required to press this skill in a row.
