Treasure Chests are a recurring mechanic in the Megami Tensei franchise.

Overview

Treasure Chests are a type of interactable object which typically contain a predetermined item, a set of items, money, among other possible contents depending on the title. These can be found on the field in various locations and opened to acquire their item, at which point the Treasure Chest will remain permanently empty. Many titles contain multiple types of Treasure Chests, each indicating a set of possible contents and possibly having unique mechanics tied to them. Common types include rare chests with high-value contents and locked chests that require another item to open.

Mechanics by Game

Shin Megami Tensei

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne

There are two types of Treasure Chest in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne: normal chests and Mystical Chests. Normal chests, instead of containing items or Macca, may contain traps or fixed enemy encounters.

Mystical Chests have either a Life Stone or a high-value item, and the item that is given to the player is determined randomly at the point the chest is opened. The chances of the high-value item being present are equal to the current Kagutsuchi Phase. For instance: the 3/8 phase gives Mystical Chests a three in eight chance of containing the high-value item, the Full phase guarantees the high-value item, and the New phase guarantees the Life Stone.
