As players explore the afterlife in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, they will come across several treasures in each of the four Covenant home world zones. Often, players will need to find a way to reach or unlock hidden treasures. These hidden treasures often come with a name and may even be marked on a player’s map, signaling to players that they contain better loot than a normal chest would. In Maldraxxus, which is the domain of the Necrolords, players can find a hidden chest in an elite-filled cave called the Bonebound Chest. Even players who did not choose the Necrolord Covenant can seek out this hidden chest, but they will likely need to fight to reach it.
The Bonebound Chest’s loot table contains 73 items, four of which are reserved for members of the Necrolord Covenant that can be turned to Anima. There are plenty of interesting zone-specific drops, as well as the chance to pick up quests, armor items, and even weapons. The chest has three possible spawn locations near the three cave entrances. Here’s how to reach the hidden Bonebound Chest in Maldraxxus in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
Find and Unlock the Bonebound Chest in World of Warcraft: Shadowlands
The Bonebound Chest can be found near the House of Chosen in southwestern Maldraxxus. Players will need to first find Unfallen’s Sanctum. Here, there is a separate area called Ragebringer Terrace that includes the caves players will need to enter to reach the treasure.
The Bonebound Chest will appear as an icon on the player’s map when it spawns. Players will need to pay attention to where the icon appears to know exactly which cave entrance they will need to use. The Chest can spawn at 30.5, 77.8; 36.3, 81.6; or 40, 74.8.
At Ragebringer’s Terrace, players will find three entrances to the caves below House of the Chosen, each with identical doorways. The location of the Chest icon should tell players which entrance to use.
From the entrance to the Terrace, if the Chest icon appears on the map to the east of Unfallen’s Sanctum between House of the Chosen and Seat of the Primus, players should enter the first door on their left. To reach the treasure, players will need to enter the cave and turn left when they reach the Elite Atrok the Ashen hammering on an anvil.
If the Chest icon appears to the south near the Unyielding Assembly, players should go through the second door on the left, accessed by traveling up the ramp and through the archway. The treasure will be found to the right, next to the cauldron.
If the Chest icon appears to the west side of House of the Chosen, players should enter the cave through the door furthest to their right, or, furthest west. In this location, the treasure will appear right inside the cave entrance to the left.
No matter which entrance the player uses, there are guaranteed to be some difficult and deadly elites in each area in addition to the aggressive enemies around the Sanctum and Terrace. Players may want to consider bringing their best healer to survive this quest and equipping their best gear. It is not uncommon for players to report dying several times on their way to retrieve this treasure.
