Use the Disillusionment Spell to Turn Invisible

Opening the Eye Chests requires you to use the Disillusionment spell to turn yourself invisible. This allows you to open the chest without being spotted to loot the gold inside.

See the table below for a step by step guide to open the eye chest.

How to Open Eye Chests
1	Open the Spell Wheel and equip the Disillusioment spell.
2	Cast the Disillusionment spell to make yourself invisible. Note: Make sure to cast the spell away from the Eye Chest's line of sight, as it will still detect you if you cast the spell in front of it.
3	Approach the Eye Chest and press the Search button to loot the gold inside.

Disillusionment Effects and How to Get

Using Invisibility Potion works but it is not recommended

You can also use the Invisibility Potion to turn yourself invisible to open the Eye Chest. However, this method is not recommended as you will only have a few seconds to open the chest before it spots you.

In addition, you will also use up one potion whereas using the Disillusionment Spell does not cost anything to use.

How to Find Eye Chests

Use Revelio and Find the Gold Highlighted Chest

The best way to find Eye Chests is to use Revelio. The spell highlights all nearby Eye Chests and other collectibles.

Revelio Effects and How to Get

Check For the Camera Shaking Effect

When you approach an Eye Chest, it will jump in place causing a noticable camera shake. You can use this as a clue to find the chest in the surrounding area.

Note that this method only works if you have Camera Shake enabled in the Settings menu.
