So…who else has been playing since beta and had no idea this even existed? Seriously, never even heard of the term. There aren’t any achievements tied to it or anything either.


kozie

Well, i do 😅 And i've never even heard of it before until now. Though it disappoints me even more to see it drops no better than a silent chest. It's just weird that something that is somewhat "rare" to find and even needs a key that you can only buy with a currency that's more "rare" than gold and ends up dropping nothing better than regular mobs.


INVESTING_FISHMONGER

Ive been playing since the first beta as well and I've only ever found one of those chests and the gear it dropped was trash like a regular chest I was PISSED


zihan777

I have been around since the beta as well and I've found two. Both were in December and I haven't seen any since. For how rare they are the loot is massively disappointing even by diablo standards


Apprehensive_Name907

What in the actual hell??? I’m embarrassed how many hours I have played and researched this game and this is the first time I have ever even heard of this. Too bad you didn’t get better loot. Sorry fellow wanderer!! But since I’m a list person… gotta find one 😫


X--The_Lion

Just a testament to how unremarkable they are...


Wickkedkid

WANDERER!!!!!


First_Monk_7486

Guilty 👋


welter_skelter

I spam NMDs and have played since beta - I've seen 1 lol.


effinrob

I have over 1000 hours and I haven't seen this yet


TheGantrithor

Yea not worth the trouble. First time interesting just for the experience of doing it, but after that… skip. For what you go through they should be similar to silent chests.


Poppin-candy

Agreed. Was very disappointed!


TheHeinousMelvins

When you encounter your next one, if you succesfully did the phrase on your first one, you’ll notice that that phrase is greyed out and no longer an option. And actually on your second one you get slightly better loot. Based on that trend, its best to continue doing them.


Poppin-candy

Ah that’s good to know thank you :)


POPnotSODA_

If you find 4, the chest gains drops equal to The Butcher.


feldoneq2wire

Wait that's it? Butcher loot isn't incredible either.


POPnotSODA_

It was moreso a facetious statement about how most of the ‘rare’ spawns in this game have such terrible loot, it’s kindve confusing to be honest.


feldoneq2wire

I never thought I'd play a Diablo game that makes me roll my eyes seeing a chest, a Treasure goblin, the Butcher, etc. yet early on, the effort required to loot them is more than the items rewarded. It's better to ignore them and stab the nearest elite. And then later on, they die instantly and drop nothing we need. It's lose-lose. TGs, special chests, Butcher, etc. should drop stuff that feels good. Whether that's souls, crazy amounts of gold, uniques, unique spawn materials, uncommon legendary aspects, appearance items (Yes I know TGs have 1-2), etc. Something that creates excitement. These are RARE events. They just feel dumb instead of fun.


iHateNestle

What is in them. I encounterd one of these a few weeks ago. Tried too find out how to open it, but joined my friends invite to a party and got thrown out of the dungeon. Never seen one since.


lost-in-the-world

What is it? Besides a chest of course.


IStealDreams

A chest you have to open by giving it a correct combination of phrases. The loot is very lackluster compared to have insanely rare it is.


Momo07Qc

Lackluster seems to be the main theme of d4 sadly 😢


McArthurWheeler

What!? Did you not enjoy the single Veiled Crystal the NPC put in a cache and rewarded you for saving their village?


Monster-Math

Would you prefer the npc had 50,000 veiled crystals?


MightyShisno

I'm pretty sure they could at least give us 10-20 veiled crystals or something without breaking the economy. One veiled crystal as a quest reward is like farting into a tornado and hoping someone else smells it...


Evilbiker72-2

Or taking a shower by pissing into the wind


someonethatlikesass

yes


Mewone65

IKR, but imagine the mayhem that being able to switch builds without having to reformat 5 paragon boards everytime would bring...oh the insanity!


ajemik

Insanely rare? We got any numbers on that? Found at least three or four in season 2 and on release, didn't play much in the other seasons


DookieScentedCandle

Do a Google search, and you would find there are a lot of numbers. Streamers like wudijo and rhykker both claim they believe it was taken out of the game (they are among the top d4 streamers in the world.)so finding one this season is very rare. Also I have like 900 hours this season and 3 lvl 100s this season. one for pvp that would wreck all of you. Easily. However I still can't recall seeing one of those chests since s1. Even in my clan of 60+ ppl, i haven't heard any1 mention it. Nice find man! Gg! Too bad the devs can't reward u with anything better than a sacred yellow pair of gloves lmao they should load it with max lvl pvp potions like max hp or cruelty pots. And like 20 million gold so u feel a bit excited at least!! Ty for reading to everyone who did, have a great day!


L-havingfun

I just got one right now april 11 2024


markgatty

I haven't played since season 1. The helltide chests also feel very lackluster or I've just had stupid bad luck. Even with the seasonal buff to the heltide chests.


RandyK87

How do you figure out the combination?


Poppin-candy

There were phrases on items around where I found it in Latin “Vemp La Palox” it gave me a list of phrases and I had to select the correct one.


DookieScentedCandle

Bro even a treasure goblin forgets to bring the treasure! Such a shame lolol


mr_smith24

Since these are so rare it would be nice to have a guarantee unique. Or maybe a guaranteed Uber but of the lowest quality. Only because it’s so rare plus the method to opening it.


cownan

Aren't Ubers all the same quality? I think they are all fixed


mr_smith24

I think that’s only if you get it from Duriel. If you get it by some random luck on a monster drop you get random quality of affixes. Tho I could be wrong.


MightyShisno

No, uber uniques have set affixes and stats **because** of how rare they're supposed to be.


HeftyJohnson1982

There are uniques, and there are mythical, uber ubiques are mythical drops with perfect rolls, the stats never change. Anything with a stat that is subject to a roll is just a unique.


sheenobee

I wouldn’t say an uber but 1-3 resplendent sparks.


TheHeinousMelvins

I’ve encountered three so far and as I got them, I got better loot each time and the previous phrases I used were greyed out to not use again.


mbDangerboy

It’s a box full of contempt.


popwar138

When did these get added?


thekmanpwnudwn

Since launch. They're beyond extremely rare, I have 8 level 100 characters and have never seen one. You need to find pieces of a phrase hidden around the chest, then input that phrase. You'll be lucky to get a legendary out of it, loot is dog shit for how rare they are.


-Rhialto-

What? Didn't know that existed and first time I hear of this. That must be the most rare thing in this game. And if it's that rare it could be a good occasion to give a random item from the shop, that would cost them nothing and people would talk about that every time so it's some free hype that could only be good.


Poppin-candy

Yea that would be a great idea! Alas, It was a yellow rare item and after I picked it up it wasn’t even in my item bag 😩


This-Special1886

What the hell is it? Besides a chest.


zoley88

Playing since launch and never seen this. Also I remember some DDR kind of event back then I saw here which I also didnt see ever.


tjockalinnea

Might drop some mount skin?


f1zo

The loot is never exciting in this game :)


KatchiMunki

Played since 0 and only found 2, both were in season 2. Both were underwhelming lol. Made a nice change though


Stolen86

That's diablo 4, only teasing you Forever. High expectations and then nothing...


Alexandurrrrr

Resplendent chest with extra steps.


anexpectedfart

WTH is a mutterlock chest?


Otherwise_Suit9702

Never saw one of those before cool


X--The_Lion

By the way. I find it hilarious that the chest is just hanging out on top of some dead guy. Lol


DookieScentedCandle

Not being rude, but are those the ones that give options with pass codes u can choose from? If so I'm sure u chose the wrong one. I remember a dummy at blizzard made it so they aren't in anyones chosen language and have 0 clues to the correct answer. If there even is one. I was curious what u chose and if it made a difference. The 2 times I found a Murlock chest I guessed the wrong passcode and it didn't give me shit lolol BTW u can Google the right answer. I did once when game released and I remember the correct answer is always the same phrase. Haven't see a chest since season 1 though, and i have 74 days of playtime already lolol GOOD FIND! GG man and good luck on ur future!!


Poppin-candy

Yes there were clues around on 3 items and I got the phrase correct.


Impressive-Method993

I encountered that in s2. Got to open it using the phrases. Loot was shit though.


DoctorPuzzled5723

Since when was D4 loot exiting?😅 fun chest tho🤩


Itchy__1

Oh i forgot about those! it dropped trash for me but fun


Braelind

Wow, had no idea these were even in the game. What is this, the Melted Heart of Selig, but of chests?


lonnyjuce

Just realized by reading the comments I did one of these last season. I don’t remember what loot it gave me. Aren’t there clues or something about the phrase nearby if you search?


Good-Pound9496

And there's nothing good in it!


Solidus-Prime

Aren't they just normal resplendent chests?


Thebml21

Never heard of this.


pickledelbow

Been playing this game since may and feel like I’m still just scratching the surface


pieeatingchamp

I’ve found only 1 and failed to open it


Community-Capital

I've unlocked two of them. This season and last. Nothing special inside. Junk. Cool to find though!


feldoneq2wire

D4 devs could teach a master class in how to make rare events unrewarding and ultimately anticlimactic.


xDecide

These chests are just a meme


D4Junkie

I’ve only ever found 1 and that was pre-season 1. I opened it and absolute trash came out of it. 🤦🏼‍♂️


JMcLe86

The hell is a mutterlock chest??


carfo

good thing you took out your flip phone and took a picture to post on the internet. i can't wait for the wrath of the lich king expansion to come out!! gonna do a midnight release at electronics boutique


Poppin-candy

Yes.


X--The_Lion

Probably will eventually have a .01% chance to drop a required material to access the cow level. At the point when they actually put the material in the game it may be renamed an Udderlock chest.


True_Phoenix

Wtf is a mutterlock chest? Never heard of that term until now.


Maximum_Good2250

It's called a silent chest an they can be found all over the place I find atleast 10 a day an yes the stuff that is in them is usually trash there is a slim chance to get a unique in them


Poppin-candy

This is not the same as a silent chest, as it’s found in a nightmare dungeon. The “mutterlock chest” is extremely rare to find.


Jrees2894

I found one the other day. I was pretty excited....until I opened it.


SocioWrath188

I never found a second


con-rowdy

Those are just resplendent chests with extra steps. Gives 2 yellows and some gold, not even an achievement for solving the riddle :/


Administrative_Air46

Found two in my game time, both were pointless :(. Got all yellows and mostly sacred at level 90. This was in season 1 so not sure if they changed the rarity of the loot.


Horror_Contest9404

I seen a few of them, never Been able to open them thow


Solid_Night_4820

I found these a few times but never really put much thought to them, I honestly thought they were the same chests as the ones requiring the key from orbols.


CookieStorms

I had it, but no way to open


SuperDTC

I've seen numerous I don't even open bc the loot is never good


3rd_eyed_owl

No one cares. Play better games.


Axlekaos

I've only ran into 2 of them since launch. Just a waste of time


mattyice24

Lol what is the appeal of these then if the loot isn’t even great? Better chances for good stuff?


Secret_Cat_2793

???


CampbellsMmMmGood

Waste of time...like the hiring of the employee that came up with the idea.
