Notes [ ]

Shadow Chests can spawn on the basis close to the Underworld. (Note: The background shown is non the Underworld groundwork.)

• Shadow Chests can contain Lifeforce and Teleportation Potions, which are unavailable for crafting before Hardmode.
• Mimics tin appear as a locked Shadow Chest, making them harder to spot without a Lifeform Analyzer / Metal Detector or their upgrades.
• Golden Chests that spawn within 250 blocks of the bottom of the world will generate the same common items as Shadow Chests.
• Two of the possible drops are removed from the boodle pool for every world and tin only be constitute with fishing (Treasure Magnet counting as two different drops).
  • This is likely an oversight after the introduction of the Treasure Magnet in the loot pool.

Tips [ ]

• Mimics tin never spawn as an unlocked Shadow Chest. Unlocking every Shadow Chest during pre-Hardmode will give them away easily in Hardmode.
• The Drax tin can exist found in Shadow Chests on the Nintendo3DS  version, making information technology attainable in pre-Hardmode and giving players a significant mining advantage.
• Since two of the drops are missing from the pool, it is possible that even a large world will not contain all weapons. Missing weapons tin can exist obtained from Obsidian Lock Boxes, which are found in fished Obsidian Crates.
