Anyone here do chest runs in hard mode? I usually go outside of the bone palace and run with my wurm. Is there any other better place to chest run?

The Mirror of Lyss is pretty easy, even in HM. Make sure you bring dash though.

I don't think there's a better place to chest run than in the Shattered Ravines. If you can afford it, you can buy a lockpick, and open the chests in NORMAL MODE.

ATM, I have about 53% chance of retaining the lockpick in easy mode (only prob is I can't afford lockpicks anymore ^^), and it's better having 2 purples being sold for 400-600 together (if the lockpick is retained once), than 1 gold being sold for 200-300 (If the lockpick breaks, which happens ALOT in HM.)

Also, in the Shattered Ravines, there are chests close to Elementals, and these chests can drop Elemental Swords (which are about the most valuable weapons obtainable in PvE atm).

Also, if you've opened all chests and don't want to go home yet, you can still easily kill some stuff.
