Excavated Chests

Excavated Chests are a key feature of the Expedition mechanic, uncovered by detonating explosives during an Expedition encounter. These chests contain various rewards, including Expedition Artifacts, Exotic Coinage and other valuable items.

Mechanics

• Chests are buried and must be unearthed by strategically placing explosives on the Expedition map.
• Detonating explosives unearths the chests and spawns nearby Runic monsters that must be defeated before the chests can be looted.
• Each chest provides randomised loot and can include Expedition artifacts (e.g., Order Artifact) or other valuable items.

Runic Monster Interaction

• Excavated Chests are typically guarded by Runic monsters, which are spawned upon unearthing the chest.
• Monsters vary in difficulty based on the Expedition location and the number of Remnants included in the explosion.

Tips

• Plan your explosive placement to unearth multiple chests with a single detonation when possible.
• Be cautious when detonating explosives in densely populated areas, as large groups of Runic monsters can be challenging to handle.
• Prioritise chests in areas with fewer modifiers to reduce the risk of dangerous monster buffs.
