In the Temple of Deadly Coffers, there is a room that can be reached by swimming to the south wall in the eastern-most room and pressing a button on the wall. I'm sure you experts are very familiar with the treasure chest in this room-- what does it contain? I seem to remember it being empty or not having much in the original Wizardry 7.I haved just reached this chest in the Playstation version of this game, and the chest is far from empty. In Japanese there is a message about something being wrapped up nicely in cloth, seemingly left there just for you to come and take it. Everytime I open it, it automatically contains:
*The Legend Map
*The Fang (a great one-handed weapon I remember from Bane)
*A Cameo Locket (an accessory for a male character, with -4AC, +1 HP regeneration, and 30% death resistance-- also from Bane).
There is also a slight chance of the chest containing:
*Ring of the Stars (-4AC, 50% Hypnosis/Psionic resistance--I remember having this while playing Crusaders or Bane before, but I don't remember where)
*A Diamond Ring (from Bane-- -5AC, 50% magic resistance for a female character, or access to another room in the Hall of Preservation)
If you open the chest many times or are lucky enough, the chest will contain all five items!
The items from Bane were implanted into this game because you can never import a party from Bane into the Playstation. What interests me is the *Legend* Map-- I seem to remember seeing Kymas Turan having it before coming to the Dane Tower, so I think the map is also definitely in its usual position in New City. I wonder if the makers of the PSX version put two *Legend* maps in the game just in case you get stuck (for example if an inaccessible Don Barlone got the map) or in case you want to finish the game quickly and don't know where the *Legend* has been taken. Or perhaps there is only one *Legend* Map, and this map automatically gets transferred into this chest somehow? In either case, this is a major change from the original CoDS, and makes me wonder what is important about this treasure chest in the hidden room of the Dane Tower in the original game.
