Final Fantasy Resonance: How to Open the Locked Chest in the Nameless Ruins

A guide provides instructions on how to solve the riddle and open a locked chest found in the Nameless Ruins during the Chapter 5 main quest in Final Fantasy Resonance. The chest contains a heavy armor piece named "Tyr's Armor," which grants a constant Protect effect when the wearer is below half of their maximum HP.

Unlocking the Nameless Ruins Chest

When exploring the Nameless Ruins during the Chapter 5 main quest, players can locate a locked chest positioned next to a statue. Interacting with the chest presents a riddle that outlines the sequence required to activate three statues scattered across the dungeon.

• Riddle Clue 1: A broken sword pierced the sky, bringing light.
• Riddle Clue 2: A withered horse was laid to rest, becoming the land.
• Riddle Clue 3: Darkness once sealed was unleashed, cleaving day from night.

Required Statue Activation Order

To successfully open the locked chest, players must interact with the statues in a precise order based on the riddle:

• First Statue ("Statue of a Broken Sword"): Located directly to the right of the second save point, before entering the final room.
• Second Statue ("Statue of a Withered Horse"): Found on the far western side of the entrance map. Players need to go up the stairs from the entrance to the next room, head far west, and go down the other stairs to reach the side of the entrance map previously blocked by rubble. The statue is to the left of these stairs.
• Third Statue ("Statue of Darkness Sealed"): Positioned right next to the locked chest itself. This must be activated last.

Reward Details

Opening the chest rewards the player with "Tyr's Armor," a piece of heavy armor that provides the following benefits:

• Grants constant Protect when the wearer is at less than half of their maximum HP.
• Can be equipped by characters Rain, Lasswell, Lid, and Jake.
• Suited for Rain's Sentinel role or as added protection for other eligible party members.
