Shadow Chest

The Shadow Chest is a type of Chest found only in the Underworld, generally on top of or in an obsidian tower, and contains rare items. All Shadow Chests are initially locked, and can only be opened with a Shadow Key which is not consumed upon opening the chest. Items found in the Shadow Chest include powerful weapons, such as the Dark Lance, Flower of Fire, Flamelash and Sunfury. These uncommon chests will always contain a "Orange" Rarity item. Like all other naturally spawning chests, they can be taken with you by breaking them with a hammer once empty.

An easy way to find Shadow Chests in the underworld is to use water walking potions; these potions allow you to walk on lava without taking damage. A video showing this can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJRr12U9Sd0
