Corruption of Champions 2 — Chest Puzzle: Complete Report

Where to Find It (Spoiler-Lite)

As of the current public build (v1.4+ and beyond), the chest appears in three primary biomes:

1. The Old Forest (Hawkethorne Depths): Nestled behind a hidden waterfall near the corrupted druid grove. This is the most common spawn for players below level 4.
2. The Frostwood Catacombs: Inside a sealed side-chamber before the Yeti boss room. This version has an ice-cold aesthetic with frost-rimed runes.
3. The Wayfort Ruins (Post-Invasion): In a collapsed treasury after you repel the first demon siege. This is the highest-level variant.

All three variants share the same puzzle logic, but the visual flavor text changes. corruption of champions 2 chest puzzle

5. “I keep failing the Athletics check for the western lever. What now?”

Fix: The Harrowing Reach puzzle does not require the western lever if you have a Spiderfriend perk or the Webwalker racial passive (acquired by high Drider transformation). These traits let you bypass the chasm entirely via a hidden web-bridge. You only need 3 of the 4 levers to unlock the chest in current patches. Corruption of Champions 2 — Chest Puzzle: Complete
