Treasure Chest
"These, found throughout most everywhere in the game, contain various and random amounts of cure potions, zappers and xterminators. Sometimes if the SoftDisk programmers decided to be total A-Holes, they will put an empty chest where you will probably be tight on health."
--Description, Catacomb Crypt
The Treasure Chest is a valuable find in the world of Catacomb 3D and the Catacomb Adventure Series, though for completely different reasons in both.
In Catacomb 3D[edit]
The Treasure Chest is full of gold, making it invaluable towards securing a high score. Each treasure chest gives the player 600 points. Treasure Chests are among the most common items in Catacomb 3D, so all that lends itself to a whole lot of extra points.
In the Catacomb Adventure Series[edit]
Treasure Chests have been overhauled, as the later Catacomb games do not have a score table. Instead, Treasure Chests contain randomized useful loot - they can carry up to three Zappers, Xterminators, and/or Cure Potions each - potentially nine items from one chest, in rare cases, taking them from one of the least overtly useful items in the game to one of the most.
However, like all useful items in the Catacomb Adventure Series, it can now be destroyed by careless fire, robbing you of potential goodies. Take care to watch your fire so you don't accidentally destroy any useful supply caches!
In Catacombs of the Damned[edit]
This homage game features chests that contain bonus gold similar to Catacomb 3D. Unlike that game, the chests remain in the game world after being searched.
