There are three special keys in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined that can be used to open locked chests: the Thief’s Key, the Magic Key, and the Ultimate Key. As players obtain those keys, they may want information about the locations of the chests that they unlock and details about what those chests hold. This guide contains that information, and it will help players find every locked chest in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined.
Where to Find Every Tablet Fragment in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined
This guide will help players find all 71 tablet fragments and earn the No Stone Left Unturned achievement in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined.
Locked Chests in Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined
Before detailing the locations of the locked chests, it is important to note that higher-end keys can unlock lower-end chests. More specifically, the Magic Key is able to open Magic Key chests and Thief’s Key chests, while the Ultimate Key can open Ultimate Key chests, Magic Key chests, and Thief’s Key chests. As such, players may want to wait until they have the Ultimate Key before doing any backtracking, as they will be able to open every chest in the game once that final key is in hand.
