Treasure ChestsTreasure Chests are special items you can find in Patapon 3. Treasure chests are obtained by doing many things, such as:
- Defeating an enemy.
- Destroying a Bonedeth fortress.
- Finishing a floor in a dungeon.
- Destroying a hut at the end of a level.
You can open your chests when you finish the quest you are playing. If you fail your mission, you lose all chests obtained, but keep any other spoils. If you get more than ten treasure chests, you can only open the first 10 chests you have won. You won't be able to open the 11th or higher chest, but you will still get the item inside.
Treasure Chests have also appeared in Patapon 2, but in a much smaller role. They appear in a few levels, usually before you reach the end of one of the two training missions. They can be hard to open and often contain ka-ching or basic weapons. They also appear at the end of the multiplayer mission, and can be opened with Parachii. These chests are only colored black in this game. In Patapon 2 the chests from hunting and training quests can be opened by breaking them, being considered structures; this kind of chests also appear on Patapon 3, in training quests.
All treasure chests have a level with them, ranging from 1 to 40. The + figure of the equipment will depend on the treasure chest's level. When you earn an unenchanted weapon from a chest it will be within a -5 - 0 + bonus from the level of the chest, when earning a Unique or Super Unique weapon its + bonus will follow this code: (Level of chest) divided by 2 + (A random number between 1 to 5) = The maximum + bonus of the equipment.

- There is a very rare glitch (mostly occurs in Depths of Gluttony) that the glow of the chest is missing.
