Chests are a common type of container in Diablo IV which can be opened for potential treasure. They may be opened by any player by clicking on them like any other object. They may contain items, gems, or gold. It is intended that players encounter a chest every five minutes on average.
There are many different kinds of chests, from simple boxes to ornately decorated varieties, but they all function in the same way, except for the special types listed below.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Cursed Chest | Much like in Diablo 3, clicking a Cursed Chest in Diablo 4 begins a timed Local Event that rewards players for completing a short storyline.
Cursed chests will appear as a large chest with a red glimmer. Clicking it will start an event (named Cursed [location]). This often occurs as a bounty. Known cursed event types include:
Some events will only award chest in case of success, while others (most notably 100 enemies), in case of success, will award an extra chest (otherwise, the player who failed to beat the timer will simply need to clear the remaining foes, receiving a single chest as a reward). |
| Greater Radiant Chest | Radiant Chests will return from Diablo 3, where they contained more items and Gold than normal chests and appeared after clearing events. It’s unknown whether Resplendent Chests will also make an appearance in Diablo 4.
Radiant chests contain more loot than common chests, but much less than a Resplendent Chest. They typically spawn after clearing Cursed Chests (see below) or Cursed Shrines. Depending on the exact event, failure to lift the curse may result in the chest being destroyed. In other events, the chest is guaranteed to appear, but success will provide the player with a second chest. Clearing a Cursed Shrine with perfect score (all 5 waves) is guaranteed to summon a Radiant Chest. |
| Helltide Chest | Helltide Chests boast boons exclusive to a single item slot, such as Legs, Torso, or Two-Handed Weapon.
The first type of special chest revealed by Blizzard is called: Helltide Chest. These chests are found in regions that have been overtaken by a Helltide, an eruption of evil on the terrain that increases the power and quantity of monsters. Helltide Chests are unlocked with Cinders, which are dropped by monsters in a Helltide region, and all contain items of a certain equipment slot . It’s thought that the type of slot will rotate when a new Helltide occurs. |
| Resplendent Chest | Resplendent chests are much more rare than normal chests and drop more items than normal chests. They are also guaranteed to contain at least some Rare Items and gems.
They appear as a large chest with a yellow glow. Some spawn randomly in the world, while some spawn guaranteed in certain dungeons. It is intended that players find a resplendent chest every 10-15 minutes on average. |
| Silent Chests | Silent Chests are temporary, locked chests that randomly spawn across Sanctuary and vanish after a short period of time. They can only be opened with Whispering Keys, which are purhcased from the Purveyor of Curiosities using Obols (currency). Players will see Silent Chests appear on their mini-map and must rush to them before they disappear. |
| Unidentified PvP Chest | Blizzard released a video showing a chest beside two players duking it out in the PvP zone, the Fields of Hatred. We assume the chest contains Seeds of Hatred, a PvP reward, among other things. |
