Splendid Chest

This article is about the general environmental object that is located throughout the world. For other uses, see Splendid Chest (disambiguation).

Splendid Chests give a handful of loot and are located in out of the way areas guarded by a tougher version of a local enemy type and usually a few allies. They will also spawn after certain meta event chains, such as in Harathi Hinterlands. Although you do not need to kill the foes guarding the chest, you will be interrupted whenever you are hit by a foe. If you want to just take the loot, bring skills that block, or give stealth.
