“An artifact which may contain other artifacts.”
An Ornate Chest (and Large Ornate Chest) is a Structure found in the Labyrinth biome of the Ruins. Ornate Chests are usually surrounded by Dangling Depth Dweller webbing.
Opening an Ornate Chest triggers a random effect such as spawning Dangling Depth Dwellers/Terrorbeaks, raising or lowering Health/Hunger/Sanity, or affecting the durability of inventory items. The character will often state, "It's a trap!"
Ornate Chests do not drop anything when destroyed.
