Shadow Chest

The Shadow Chest is a storage item which is found only in The Underworld, generally on top of or within Ruined Houses, and contains rare items.
All Shadow Chests are initially locked, requiring a Shadow Key to open. The key is not consumed when used. Each Shadow Chest contains one high-tier item of rarity, along with other standard Underground loot.
Like all other naturally-occurring Chests, Shadow Chests can be freed with a pickaxe or drill after being emptied, and picked up by the player for placement and use elsewhere.
