World of Warcraft: Shadowlandscontinues to expand onWorld of Warcraft’s already massive worldbuilding. New in-game items and collectibles have been added to the mix, which also means new tasks and riddles are waiting to be solved. While unlocking the Harmonic Chest is easy, it will require some cooperation and caution from the player if they plan on walking away with the spoils.
The Harmonic Chest is one of many newtreasures to be found in Shadowlands. There isn’t a quest attached to it, but the process can be tedious if the player doesn’t have what they need.

Finding the Harmonic Chest
Locating the Harmonic Chest isn’t difficult. It’s located northeast of Tirna Vaal inthe upper part of Ardenweald. Curious players will realize that the chest cannot be opened. The key to it can’t be looted or found from enemies, nor can it be found inside another chest. Rushing to the other continents won’t do the player any good either.
The reveal is that the key, or ratherkeys, are right next to the Harmonic Chest itself.
Undoing the Lock
If the player looks closely, they’ll see a drum with purple leaves for batter heads and a small gray harp with a bluish glow. The Harmonic Chestdoes not open with a regularWoWkey, but it will respond to the sound of music.
However, a single player can’t play one instrument and rush over to another. When they click, a green cast bar will appear. If the player breaks away, the process will be interrupted and the music from one instrument will stop. Thus, to open the chest, there must be two players.
Have someone play the harp while another plays the drums. Eventually, thechest will opento be looted. This needs to be done before it closes again. Players who choose the harp are closer to the chest, but the distance shouldn’t make much of a difference if the drummer reacts quickly enough. The Harmonic Chest will also stay open for a handful of seconds, allowing both players enough time if they’re paying attention.
The good news ischaracters of differentWorld of Warcraftfactionscan work together to open the chest.
The bad news is once the instruments have been interacted with, the player can’t interact with them again. For example, if the harp player loots the chest but the drummer does not, then neither one of them can replay the instruments. They’ll need other players who’ve never interacted with the instruments to open it for them.
