Locked Chests That Unleash Monsters if Unlocked
Strongboxes are locked chests that you can find when exploring maps in the Atlas. These chests will present a challenge to players who attempt to unlock the chests, unleashing enemies to deter players from trying to loot the said strongbox.
Modifiers Can be Added for Better Rewards
Strongboxes can use currencies and obtain new modifiers to grant more challenges in exchange for better rewards. Be sure to always consider using your orbs to gain extra benefits from Strongboxes.
Strongbox Guide
Identify a Strongbox to Learn its Content
Strongboxes found in the map will start as unidentified. Always bring a Scroll of Wisdom and use it on a Strongbox to determine what Strongbox it is as well as its rewards and rarity.
Use Orbs to Modify the Strongbox's Effect
Once a Strongbox is identified, you can further modify it (if desired) to possess additional modifiers which translates to a better loot drop. Consider the map's current difficulty and your character's current capability before modding a Strongbox to its fullest.
Clear Enemies in the Vicinity Before Tackling the Strongbox
Once you're prepared to open the Stronbox, be sure to clear the surrounding vicinity first. Getting ambushed midfight, especially with a rare monster can prove fatal in the Atlas and may cause your death and a massive XP loss when in the endgame.
Once you've cleared the monster horde, loot the Strongbox to obtain your hard-earned reward.
