Treasure chests lie scattered throughout the Kra'an dungeons. Some of them hide artifacts or other objects that may be necessary to you on your quest. In addition to scattering and hiding their valuables behind traps and puzzles, most chests are booby-trapped to prevent outsiders from learning the cult's hidden secrets. When you encounter a chest, you can ignore it and return to it later, or try one of three options to open it:

• Open - Attempt to open the chest by force. If you are lucky, the chest will not be booby-trapped, and you will be able to open the treasure without being harmed.
   
• Pick Lock - If you have a character in your party capable of picking locks, use this menu option, then select a character to pick the lock. The pick lock skill will show up in a character's spell menu (see the spell casting section elsewhere in this document). A character's likelihood of successfully picking a lock without setting off a trap increases as they gain levels.
   
• Trap Zap - If you have a character in your party capable of casting the trap zap spell, select this menu option, then select the character who you wish to cast the spell. The trap zap spell has a good chance of safely disarming most any trap before you attempt to open the chest. Like the pick lock skill, the effectiveness of casting trap zap increase with the level of the spell-caster.
