Crimson Chest

The Crimson Chest is a locked chest that will only spawn in the dungeon if the world is inflicted with The Crimson. The Crimson Chest may be unlocked with a Crimson Key which is dropped from a random Crimson enemy once hard mode is enabled.

Crimson Chests have a 100% chance to contain the weapon Vampire Knives, and are the only item that may be found within.

Tips

 * Before enabling hard mode be sure to locate a Crimson Chest within the dungeon, as hard mode makes the dungeon significantly harder. As of version 1.2.0.3, this only applies after also defeating Plantera, as hard mode dungeon mobs will not spawn until you have.
 * The player may open the Crimson Chest on a non-Hardmode world, as long as the key is present.
