View Full Version : I got a loot question regarding chests

Back in the day when I first played this game I would re-kill certain bosses or rooms that always have majestic treasure chests in it, and sometimes I'd see 2, or rarely, 3 lined up one in front of the other instead of just 1 (like I was used to). This happend super-frequently when I did something my character has already done (like killing polyphemus, nessus, etc). But then it stopped and I completely forgot about it.. Never seen it happen again.

But then just earlier today I went back to where the dragon lich boss was, and instead of 1 majestic chest, 1 ornate one, and 1 primitive (or whatever it is. I got 2 majestic, 2 ornate, etc.. I think. maybe just double the majestic, I think they all doubled though.

I do NOT have a single mod or whatever. Is this normal? If it is how do I replicate this so that I can get double/triple/whatever loot from such encounters?

I remember first time when I encountered that. It looked something like this:

and this...

and I can go on, but I was told that it is not a bug apparently. Apparently what happens is that first time you kill a boss you get a very good chest(s), but when you come back next time to that same boss then you get two not as good chests. Hope that made sense.

That's exactly it thank you.. Though frequently (now. not before) re-killing a boss leaves me with just 1 chest still.

But yeah. thanks for the post with pics, that's totally exactly what I meant >=P.

You're welcome. I think that when you visit a particular boss for the 3rd time then you're down to only 1 not-so-good chest.

Yes, that's what happens when, and only when you visit the boss the second time. At least it seem that way to me.

Actually, I've found it has something to do with installing IT. I never encountered multiple chests like that UNTIL I installed IT. Then, when I went back to certain monsters for the first time since i'd installed IT...they had the multiple chests.

Once defeated they went back to 1.

I think it's a hiccup in the game when IT is installed.

To be honest I also noticed it once I installed IT. Maybe it's one of new features to IT.
