Vampire Killer

In Vampire Killer, treasure chests contain various types of items. A yellow key is required to open them.


Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

SotN-Chest

An unused, flashing treasure chest exists within the game's coding among the other money objects, but it isn't found anywhere in the game. It is fully functional and will give the player $5,000 in gold if collected, which is worth more than any other item in the game. The reason why it wasn't included in the game is unknown. It can only be added in through a cheating device and then slashing certain candles to make it appear.


Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

Breakable treasure chests can be found in some rooms. The are not really an item, instead they function similar to candles and they will produce large amounts of gold coins when broken.


Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

Breakable treasure chests once again appear in Dawn of Sorrow. They function just like they did in Aria of Sorrow. There is one treasure chest that will release multiple rippers when broken. There is also an enemy that mimics the appearance of treasure chests.


Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia

Different types of Treasure Chests (or Treasure Boxes) can be found hidden in almost every location in the game. There are 5 different types:

  • Common Box (wooden chest)
The most common type of chest. Will respawn when re-entering an area. There is a 10% chance of it being replaced. There is an enemy that mimics the wooden chest's appearance (if opened, the monster chest will reveal itself and attack).
  • Rare Box (green chest)
A rare type of chest that will occasionally replace a wooden chest (there is usually a 10% percent chance of this happen). The appearance rate increase if Shanoa wears the Treasure Hat when entering a level from the world map.
  • Hidden Box (blue chest)
A type of chest that is normally hidden from view. They can be located if wearing the Dowsing Hat. One must crouch down in order for it to appear (the chest will rise from the ground if done correctly). A blue chest containing a Boss Medal will appear whenever a boss is defeated without taking damage (each boss in the game has one), this open chest will remain in the room where the boss was defeated for the rest of the game.
  • Red Box (red chest)
An unique type of chest. Can contain anything, from equipment to HP Max Up, MP Max Up or Heart Max Up items. They do not reappear once the item is taken. These are the only chests to be found in Albus Mode (these only contain HP Max Up, MP Max Up and Heart Max Up items).
  • Relic Box (golden chest)
An incredibly rare chest that contains a rare relic item. There are only four of them to be found in the entire game.
  • Fake Common Box (fake wooden chest)
A mimic enemy in the form of a wooden chest. Acts like a normal chest until it is opened. If opened, it will reveal its true nature and attack. It contains no items.
