How to Find the Best Treasure Chests
Explore Hard-to-Reach Areas
Treasure Chests hidden behind platforming challenges, narrow ledges, or vertical terrain are often placed intentionally and tend to contain better rewards.
Search Optional Paths
Dead ends, side routes, and optional caves frequently house Treasure Chests with more valuable loot than those found along the main story path.
Strong Monsters Often Guard Valuable Chests
If a Treasure Chest is protected by powerful monsters or located in a high-level zone, it is usually worth the risk.
Hire Maximum Pawns to Loot More Efficiently
Traveling with a full party of Pawns makes Treasure Chest hunting easier and faster. Pawns will actively scout the surrounding area, point out nearby Treasure Chests, and help clear enemies guarding valuable loot.
Pawns can also open Treasure Chests on their own while exploring. Any items obtained are automatically added to the party’s inventory, so you will not miss rewards even if a Pawn opens a chest before you do. This makes full-party exploration especially effective when searching large or dangerous areas.
Do Treasure Chests Respawn?
Treasure Chests Do Not Fully Respawn
Treasure Chests in Dragon’s Dogma 2 do not respawn in the traditional sense and do not generate new loot once opened. Most chests can only be looted once per playthrough.
Wakestone Shard Chests Are a Special Case
While Treasure Chests do not normally respawn, some chests have been confirmed to produce Wakestone Shards more than once during the same playthrough. These chests do not reset their original loot, but can later generate Wakestone Shards under specific conditions.
Examples include certain chests found in Ulrika’s house in Melve and the Vernworth Charnel House, which can be looted multiple times for Wakestone Shards.
This behavior appears to be limited to specific chests and should not be treated as a universal respawn mechanic for all Treasure Chests.
