The many errors of chalice dungeon treasure placement

The many errors of chalice dungeon treasure placement [by KitPes]

Hello Tomb Prospectors, Yesterday I've decided to dig into one long-known glitch involving loot placement in chalice dungeons. While diving into dungeons, I've noticed that Loran arena room with pillars often contains stone chests with pretty crappy loot like vials and bullets, whereas the same chest in other locations on the same layer offer high amounts of ritual materials. I have never looted these from stone chests in other locations, so I've assumed it has something to do with treasures attached to them. Also there was another oddity, documented long ago: a sage hair looted from a corpse on a bridge. This is even more weird, as this material is normally found only in chests and coffins. So I took DSTools by katalash and checked all the treasure events and objects they're attached to. In the game params, all possible treasures for chalice dungeons are grouped into pools by area, depth, layer and object they are attached to. There are 7 pools for objects: ► Coffin ► Small wooden chest ► Large wooden chest ► Haunted chest (the one that spawns labyrinth spirits) ► Stone chest ► Corpse ► Fish corpse (A rarely used pool, containing the same stuff as normal corpses) After checking all of them, it turned out that the number of incorrectly assigned treasures is ridiculously high. Besides being assigned to a wrong object, some chests contain treasures intended to be on lower layers.

There are 7 possible incorrect assignments, mostly involving various types of chests: ► Haunted chest with loot from stone chest, 41 occurrences Location: in the single staircase room. Surprisingly, it looks like only the glitched ones are working properly (i. e. spawning ghost ladies upon opening), the ones with correct loot have them spawned initially. ► Stone chest with loot from small wooden chest, 278 occurrences Location: anywhere in the Loran arena room (including those on the 2nd floor) ► Large wooden chest with loot from stone chest, 1443 occurrences Location: many possible locations; literally any spot where stone chest can spawn as well (except inside treasure rooms). Most common placement is in the middle of crossroads or in the small room with low ceiling. ► Large wooden chest with loot from small wooden chest, 60 occurrences Location: bottom of the circle pillared room, accessible balcony in drawbridge room (rare). ► Small wooden chest with loot from large wooden chest, 550 occurrences Location: on the upper floor of the elevator room. ► Corpse with loot from stone chest, 11 occurrences Location: middle of a dark fabric bridge. The rarest occasion and the only one that can be noticed normally: the text prompt says "Search chest" instead of "Search body". One of these can be found in 3c5ixm3y (Fetid Rotted Isz), layer 1 bonus area before the boss. ► Corpse with loot from small wooden chest, 162 occurrences Location: arena room, where the rare ladder to the 2nd floor is placed sometimes. This location is always inaccessible, because the shaft where it is placed is always blocked by the wall.
