Kakumei · Feb 03, 2006, 01:05 AM // 01:05

There is A frozen chest in Dreadnought's Drift.

Hot Dead · Feb 03, 2006, 01:08 AM // 01:08

If there are frozen chests, then where can i get frozen keys?

Vilaptca · Feb 03, 2006, 01:16 AM // 01:16

There are still chests around in the Southern Shiverbeaks, called Frozen Chests, and they don't require keys.

Maximus84 · Feb 03, 2006, 01:18 AM // 01:18

If they are speaking of the chest in Dreadnought's Drift you dont kneed a key to open it. I think there is one more chest you dont need a key to.

Are these the chests that maybe only spawn once in your character's life time? I remember passing by a chest under the tree right outside Thunderhead Keeps but it seems to only happen when I play a new character and getting to THK for the first time. The next time I see one, though, I will not open it. I ran to THK w/henchies when Ironmine mission was broken with a new character and there it was, the chest. Except when I opened it, henchies stole everything and there was zero drop. Not even white/blue/purple. Next time I walk past one with a new character, I will go into THK and lose everyone and come outside alone to see if it's still there. Oh, and when you open the chest, more often than not a bunch of shadows/nightmares spawn including possibly a boss that will likely wipe you out, too, so grab everything first, fight later.

Lichtenberg · Feb 03, 2006, 05:35 AM // 05:35

its called the lost strongbox
there is on in dreadnoughts drift that drop EVERY item in the game
and one that sometime spawns outside THK with forstbite

Numa Pompilius · Feb 03, 2006, 09:29 AM // 09:29

So the frozen chest in dreadnoughts is not the lost strongbox people talk about? I cleared dreadnoughts, and the only unlocked chest I found was the frozen chest...

RotteN · Feb 03, 2006, 10:07 AM // 10:07

in dreadnoughts there are 2 chests :
frozen chest = armor drops
lost strongbox = weapon drops

both chests drop every item you can get ingame, the frozen chests even drop armors you can't get from drops.

I had to check this out for myself, I used my forge running build to get there. Sure enough there is a chest there called "the lost chest". It's actaully very easy to get to, and easy to re-zone and open it again and again. I did it 3 times, of the 7 drops each time I opened it, there was always one purple and the rest were mostly blues. Got an errie staff from it, so it definitly can drop anything. I think I may start farming it, to find out if it ever drops any gold items. I looked for the "frozen chest" but I couldnt find one

Manic Smile · Feb 03, 2006, 10:36 AM // 10:36

well...there goes that chest...*ducks and covers to avoid nerf bat*

Yichi · Feb 03, 2006, 02:45 PM // 14:45

its already been nerfed.

That one shows up more than once in your character's life time. It just spawns in a few locations in Ice Floe like any other chest. Just keep rezoning until you see it again. Good for capping Signet of Judgement if you're a monk.

Healer For Noobs · Feb 03, 2006, 05:46 PM // 17:46

Feminist Terrorist · Feb 03, 2006, 07:03 PM // 19:03

I went there yesterday and only got junky white stuff from the lost strongbox. Nothing from the frozen chest. Bet those henchies stole it. Thieves.

Star Gazer · Feb 03, 2006, 07:09 PM // 19:09

I wish they had an area where there was a mandatory gag order for finding secret chests...these chests used to drop perfect weapons, and since it has been "going around" all i ever get is freakin white items. Thanks alot guys
