The Deadman's chest is a chest that can appear upon killing any NPC that has at least 30 Hitpoints. Additionally, every 30 minutes, a chest will spawn in a random location, with its location broadcast in the chatbox to all players on the world: A Deadman's Chest has spawned at [location]! Chests that spawn from killing an NPC do not broadcast their presence.

If the chest attempts to spawn in an area where it would likely be impossible to open (e.g. the Dagannoth Kings), it will instead spawn outside of the area where the NPC is located. If the player is standing in the area that the chest would spawn in, they will be knocked away when it appears.

Zemouregal spawns alongside the chest and roams the surrounding area, occasionally summoning minions. It is not strictly required to kill them to loot the chest, but they can interrupt players trying to open it by initiating combat.

The chest contains a variety of powerful items, but takes 60 seconds without interruption to open, or 30 seconds in a multi-combat area. Any form of combat or inventory action (e.g., eating food or drinking a potion) will reset the opening timer. Additionally, the following conditions must be met in order to attempt opening it:

  • The player is not in an instance
  • The player is risking at least 100,000 coins
  • The player does not have immunity or PvP protection

It is possible for the chest to knock the player inside of a wall or other area they cannot escape from.
