Treasure Chests (宝箱, Takarabako)?, also known as Treasure Boxes, are a mechanic in the series.
Overview[]
Shin Megami Tensei IV[]
Treasure Chests are scattered around every dungeon Flynn explores in a specific layout.
Shin Megami Tensei V / Vengeance[]
Treasure Boxes can yield items, Essences and Macca. They are broken into with a swipe of the Nahobino's sword hand.
If the Nahobino has exceeded capacity of the item type found in a Treasure Box, the item orb within will clank off of his body, and emit a grunt of discomfort. The orb will continue to try and gravitate to the Nahobino. The only way to make room is to either sell or use the items or use Essences in any fashion.
Persona 3 / FES / Portable / Reload[]
Treasure Chests are scattered around Tartarus randomly. Treasure Chests are found in almost every floor and other special Treasure Chests can be obtained after defeating a Boss inside of Tartarus.
Golden Treasure Chests also exist; they often contain powerful weapons for every party member, Homunculi, Gems, and Healing items.
Some items found exclusively in Treasure Chests may be required to complete Elizabeth's Requests.
In Reload, some treasure chests are now locked. To open them, Twilight Fragments are needed to pop them open.
Persona 4 / Golden[]
Treasure Chests are scattered around the various dungeons of the Midnight Channel both randomly and in specific layouts. Sometimes, random Shadows can jump out of a treasure chest.
Locked chests can be unlocked with Chest Keys, and some can be found in both regular and locked chests (in the case of the latter, three keys can be found at once). In Persona 4 Golden, Crack Wheat can be harvested as a substitute for Chest Keys.
The Reaper may spawn inside a Treasure Chest if the protagonist opens twenty-one chests.
Persona 5 / Royal[]
Treasure Chests are scattered around Palaces in specific layouts. The treasure chests' positioning is fixed, and the contents of each one is predetermined. Additionally, a treasure chest can only be opened once, and it won't reset under any circumstances. On the other hand, treasure chests can contain many different items, including melee and ranged weapons, armor, and accessories.
Although chests can be opened simply by interacting with them, some treasure chests are locked and will require the protagonist to craft and use a Lockpick to unlock it, which are indicated by being much larger and golden in color, as well as the passive sound effect they generate while near it. Otherwise, the protagonist can craft the Eternal Lockpick, which he can use as many times without it being consumed.
In Persona 5, certain locked chests may contain two or three different items at once, though this no longer applies in Royal.
In Mementos, as the layout is randomized, the contents of treasure chests aren't guaranteed either; in some cases, the same chest (with matching contents) might be discovered more than once.
Persona 5 Strikers[]
Treasure Chests are scattered around Jails in specific layouts. The treasure chests' positioning is fixed, and the contents of each one is predetermined. Depending on the treasure chest's size, it can either be opened only once or can be opened multiple times once enough time has been spent, with the former usually being for weaponry or otherwise very valuable item.
Like in Persona 5, certain golden treasure chests are locked, though in lieu of using lockpicks to pop the locks, a BOND power called "Safecracker" passively allows any currently controlled Phantom Thief to open these treasure chests. There are three different levels of Safecracker which ties into what treasure chest the Phantom Thief can open.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE[]
Treasure Boxes are scattered around every dungeon Itsuki Aoi explores in a specific layout. They resemble double sized pyramid boxes. They are normally invisible on the minimap save for locked ones, which are shrouded in a red energy field. To unlock them, one needs either a Treasure Key or Itsuki's Locktouch Raidant Skill.
Normally yellow, exclusive to Encore are blue-colored treasure boxes, which are found in the Area of Aspirations. Unlike normal areas, the locked treasure boxes in this Idolasphere will open only through progression of Side Stories.
As with all dungeon environmental interactions, opening a Treasure Box will despawn any Mirages on the field. However, if the item limit is reached, the item will be put back into the treasure box and seal itself back up. Permanently obtaining the treasure chests within any of the various Idolaspheres unlocks that area's "Raided Illusory [X]" Play Record.
Metaphor: ReFantazio[]
In Metaphor: ReFantazio, there are two forms of treasure chests. One is a standard chest, containing prominent loot, and the commonly scattered blue orbs that contain minor items upon collecting.
