With Starfield being the center of the Xbox 2023 Showcase last week, Bethesda gave us a deep dive into one of the biggest games this generation. Any Basic or Fan Chests in the Blast Radius will be destroyed, and other Explosive Chests will have their fuses lit if they’re within the radius as well, or explode instantly if they're close enough!Ī small tip is that the highest value Gem a particular Explosive Chest can give will be visible in the basket amongst the Fireworks! For example, in the picture above, the Gold Gem indicates that Gold is the highest value Gem that will drop from it. You’ll want to stand a fair way back as Spyro can be damaged by the blast radius, roughly indicated by the flaming debris. Charging them will instantly set them off and hurt Spyro, so to open one safely, Flame it to set off the fuse and wait for them to explode. The final Chest type in the game, Explosive Chests earn their namesake for being baskets packed with fireworks. If you’re skilled enough, you can use this to hit enemies! If you wait around a bit, you’ll be able to spot the fan blades coming back down to the ground again.


They are also vulnerable to Supercharges, where they break open immediately Unlike the Metal Chest, these are impervious to Charges, so to open them you need to flame them three times quickly to spin up the fan and make it break off, opening the Chest.
