who are you and why are you shamelessly plugging our website TY ^^v

To bump this thread with information...

Our group got the speed run for Aurum Saturday and have since been trying our hardest to find the mystery "5th chest" (far right chest at the end of the Morbol fight). We were initially hoping to figure it out to be world first on the the 5 chest achievement but we've seriously just given up after 4 days of straight testing only the 5th chest. Here is a list of things we've tried for solely the 5th chest.

* Killing everything in the instance including the despawned ghosts before they despawn
* Kill ONLY mobs required to complete the instance and nothing else (porter mobs only + bosses)
* Eat all fruit, including the fruit that drops from the Lilies of the Vale and the Poisoned Peasants
* Eat only Blue Fruit and eat all blue fruit
* Eat only Red Fruit and eat all red fruit
* Not eating fruit period (achievement)
* Doing the run without aggroing any ghosts the entire run (forcing depop before they aggro)
* Time killing ghosts with their depop mob set (e.g. kill ghost then kill Eftstool immediately)
* Time killing ghosts together (poison room 2 and the final 3 porter room after coin)
* Timing so that all porters are hit at the same time for the 2 rooms with multiple portals
* Getting all 5 chests during the run
* Getting all 5 chests during the run AND getting 4 chests at the end with speed run
* Checking the initial deactivated portal multiple times during the run to see if it activates
* Going through the whole run without touching a bile pond (proc'ing status)

You guys can verify this all yourself if you'd like but we feel pretty confident that all these were tested correctly. We've run out of good ideas (most of these are already bad ideas) so we're leaving it to the open forum to see if we can collaborate.

Any and all good or bad ideas welcome at this point. We're just so frustrated at this point that we're hoping someone else has some good ideas.

No deaths?

Done it without dying multiple times. We'll field any questions because we might have tried something incidentally. Collectively we have about 13 runs on video so we can go back and look if you have something very specific.

Do you know exactly what spawns chests #2 and #3? I just had guesses before but didn't know for certain. We only ran it one day, CC the next, and finished more job BC's today so haven't had a chance to go back to check if my guesses were correct. A 5 chest run is possible according to achievements so knowing exactly those requirements is good because they wouldn't overlap with whatever the final chest is.

For the "min kill required" did you happen to kill any slugs? Or in the Mistress fight, flowers as well? (I wonder if 6 MNK, 1 WAR, 1 WHM could conceivably kill it before it runs to the first regen spot). So on Boss fights kill only the bosses and nothing else, however I admit it doesn't seem like that would be it.

And remember DH had lamps that were just "there" that didn't do anything like the entry one in AV

DH Chests were... been a while:

1: Batraal
2: All Portal's hit?
3: Orobon
4: All chests?
5: <25m

Its quite ponderous indeed. SE really has a knack for creating obscure ways of doing this (ohi AV strat video).

Batraal Chest were (from left to right):

#1. Orobon
#2. Unsure about this, probably portal, but never seen this chest not there yet.
#3. gold chest is always there, so i assume ogre kill.
#4. <25m
#5. All 5 chest opened.

Correct it was
1) Killing the Orobon in Chocobo Stables
2) Opening all Blue Portals
3) [GOLD] Batraal Kill
4) Speed Run
5) Opening all chests

In Toto-Rak it was
1) Killing something. I don't know if the specific mob(s) was ever determined
2) Opening all Magitec devices
3) [GOLD] Shuala/Antates/Sargas Kill
4) Speed Run
5) Opening all chests

Since the chest in question is the 5th one, I am assuming it has something to do with chests. Perhaps like the Drakes room in Darkhold, another chest appears in an area after certain mobs are killed and can only be accessed at a particular point?
