The Locked Chest is a chest found only once per game, in the Cave. It does not generate on the first level, but will always spawn somewhere in levels 2 to 4.
It has a lock on it which can only be opened with a Key found somewhere on the same level.
It contains the Udjat Eye, the first item required to reach the City of Gold.
Trivia[]
The Locked Chest can not be removed from the level that it is found on. As attempting to progress to the next level will result in the Chest being dropped and left in the Level.
