Best Way to Open Warcamp Chests without Key

[Kastrel]

I've been having a lot of warcamps lately where I literally just don't find a key after clearing the whole thing.

That said, I know they can be trapped, potentially with lethal traps, but I've never had one go off. Is there any way to disarm them, magically or otherwise? I'd like to get these chests despite the lack of a key, if there is a way.

EDIT: I suppose a better title would be SAFEST way to open them. I prefer not to die.

Bring a locksmith?

[Kastrel]

Can they actually disarm them though? I've tried to detect them in the past, and I could be remembering incorrectly, but I seem to recall that it doesn't let you.

I've done the "raid the warchest" task more times than I can count by just sneaking in and just picking the box. It's really no different than any other box except that it only has one type of trap and it's unique to the warchest. You get exp from disarming/picking it as well.

[Kastrel]

Okay, maybe you can help me then.

Can the trap be manually/magically disarmed? Was does the trap do? Someone said it can kill you last time I asked. I got lucky this time and found a key on literally the 3rd to last Grim of the camp out of 200, but I've passed up quite a few in the past.

I've never been killed by a camp trap, and I have bashed open a LOT of them. Either I've gotten VERY lucky or they don't have the capacity to kill.

[Kastrel]

Do you mind describing the effects of the trap?

Keeping in mind, I only would ever do this once the entire camp was cleared.

[Gelston]

One of them knocks down and gives RT, another I think puts you to sleep (Note, it does this to everyone in the room, including Grim.) I believe that is the only two I've run into.

You can disarm it with 408, and open it with 407. I've had it trigger on me very few if any times. None that I actually remember anyway.

[Kastrel]

Hmm, sounds pretty good. I've opened it before . . . I was feeling like a risk-taker, but the way it reacted to 408 seemed off. I guess what it really comes down to is the lethality of the trap.

Methane Bird clip is the best. Ever.

does 416 not work on them?

[Kastrel]

I don't think it does, but at this point, its been so long since I tried to open one manually that I've forgotten all the specifics. All I know is that they don't work like normal chests, and at least some disarming related spells acted weird with them. I think Piercing Gaze was one of them.

I'll check again when I get a chance.

[Sile]

Yeah I've opened a few with unlock, all I've ever had happen were a screaching sound or something for the chest, sometimes big round time, sometimes a stun, and once in awhile a sleep.
