xenoblade chronicles 2: the legitimately impossible chest... yes, it exists

[Kadaj]

i was just grinding unique monster locations for zenobia affinity chart and i found something that literally looks completely impossible to open. now i dont have a good camera bit this is what i screenshotted on my console to give a preview of this thing:


So as you can see theres no way to open this up front. even with all S+ rare blades you cant even get half of the 'required' amount shown there. even if a common blade could get lv 3 lockpicking the most youd end up with is 36 if i did this correctly. not even half of what its asking for! this seems like an empty tease yet i cant help wondering whats in it even though we cant open this...

obviously we cant open it up front. i may have missed a couple super bosses that drop a required key item you need to open it, but id have to look around to find them... ive fought artifice orphion, gladiator orion, chickenheart dagmara, tyrannotitan kurodl, cloud sea king ken... and i fought all of these multiple times so im assuming they dont drop whatever special item is needed to open this. if anyone knows that i missed a super boss please feel free to tell me which one, i should be able to kill it...

forgot to say i also did reeking douglas as well and doesnt seem like he gives whats needed here

Chests like that can only be opened as part of quest lines.

where do i find the quest though? i have all rare blades if its a blade exclusive quest but only some are maxed out, not all of them (if thats a requirement).

i havent done every sub quest since i get all my EXP and gold from chain attack kills and i have OP accessories just from fighting super uniques and some lucky challenge mode drops, since getting powerful stuff from this made it seem unnecessary to do all sub quests (and most are probably useless except the ones that give certain rare blades... forgot that im missing 3 rare blades locked to some side quests so sorry for that, but i have all others. one is a DLC quest with very silly conditions so thats why i havent done one of these 3. other 2 i simply didnt feel a need to do the quest).

idk, check the wikia I guess. It only took me a single google search to find a couple of the quests that have a level 99 chest or whatever. I've never played the game before but apparently "Hero of the Nopon" is one that has a level 99 chest in it. High level lockpick chests are to designate that that can only be opened when the game wants to you, aka, in a quest.

hmm ok, this was the first i even saw of it. i did not see anything like this over my 300+ hrs of playthroughs and in between grinding, the first time i found one was in the imagine behind the original placement of the atrocious hermes unique monster. i only went to check since it looked like something was shining behind the rock and i did not expect it to be this at all lol, i was literally like "yeah ok" and turned around without even bothering haha
