Dead Man's Chest

The Dead Man's Chest is a naturally-generating Gold Chest that is rigged with various traps in order to kill the player upon opening the chest. The setup usually includes 3-5 boulder traps, 2-5 dart traps, and 0-3 explosives. The boulder traps are set up above the chest, while the dart traps are setup horizontally, and the explosives hidden underneath. The Dead Man's Chest works identically to the standard Trapped Chests, where once opened, it will send a signal to any wiring connected.

They will always generate alone, and never in an Underground Cabin.

The Dead Man's Chest will contain standard Gold Chest loot based on where it is found, as well as occasionally the Dead Man's Sweater.

Tips

 * While the combination of traps can prove deadly to even a player with end-game gear, most of them can be avoided by simply using solid blocks (e.g. the boulder trap and the dart trap). The explosives, however, must be manually mined by the player if they wish to open the chest in safety.
 * The most evident giveaway of a Dead Man's chest are the boulder traps above it, as they are larger and generally easier to spot than the 1x1-tile dart traps and hidden explosives. Nonetheless, the player should be cautious when opening a Gold Chest that is not found in an Underground Cabin.

Trivia

 * The name of this item is likely a reference to a song sung by a character in Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Treasure Island (1883).
