What are Obsidian Chests

Obisidan Chests are the rarest chests in the game. These chests have the highest chance to contain a unique gear and sometimes even artifacts.

You can easily distinguish these chests as they are the same color as obsidian and are inlaid with diamonds.

Soggy Cave

Soggy Cave is the best mission to efficiently farm obsidian chests as the mission is really short and has a guaranteed obsidian chest per run. The only things that will try to slow you down are the redstone puzzles. After solving the 2 puzzles, you will now have an access to the room with the obsidian chest!

Highblock Halls

There is a room in Highblock Halls where there is an obsidian chest in the middle. You will have to roll over the chasm and onto the platform to reach the chest.

The only way out of it is by pressing the button in front of the chest, but there's a catch. After you press the button, you will be ambushed by crossbowmen while the ladders out of the platform appear.

Obsidian Chests by Chance

Desert Temple

This should be a guaranteed obsidian chest but on some occasions, this area is bugged. After unlocking a gate with a golden key golem, you will encounter an intersection with an entrance to another room.

Upon entering the room, you will see a narrow area on the left side of the entrance (right side of your screen). This area is accessible by rolling onto the small platform. Upon landing, walk towards the end of the path (if you didn't land there) and an entrance will be automatically revealed.

Now depending on the orientation, you can enter that secret room for the obsidian chest. If you can "see" the entrance of the room, you can enter it and claim your loot. If the orientation of the room makes the wall block your view of the entrance, then you cannot enter it even if you heard it open, forcing you to restart the game if you don't plan to finish the mission.

You can pick this obsidian chest anytime after you defeat Arch-Illager in Default difficuty. After doing so, launch pads will appear at the southeastern part of the camp. Use them to go to the other side and proceed until you find the nether portal.

If it's your first time finding the nether portal, you will find an emerald chest in front of it, but wait, there's more.

Go to the area behind the nether portal and you will see a tree, which covers a path to the top. You will need to roll halfway through the peak to get to the other side and continue climbing up. Once on top, an obsidian chest will appear.
