Shadow Chest



The Shadow Chest is a storage item found only in The Underworld, generally on top of or within Ruined Houses, and contains rare items.

All Shadow Chests are initially locked, requiring a Shadow Key to open. The key is not consumed when used. Each Shadow Chest contains one high-tier item of rarity, along with other standard Underground loot.

Like all other naturally-occurring Chests, Shadow Chests can be freed with a Pickaxe or Drill after being emptied, and picked up by the player for placement and use elsewhere.

Loot
The Shadow Chest always contains one primary item, may contain one or more secondary items on the, and always contains a few common items. The bars and bullets it can contain will depend on the ore types available in the current world.

 * The Drax can be found in Shadow Chests on the, making it accessible in pre-Hardmode and giving players a significant mining advantage.
