1. Ominous Vaults are found in Trial Chambers. To find a Trial Chamber, you can use Trial Explorer Maps purchased from journeyman-level Cartographers. However, the Ominous Vaults found inside Trial Chambers cannot be picked up, so you can't bring them back to your base or put them somewhere else.

1. Ominous Vaults contain loot. You must have an Ominous Trial Key to unlock an Ominous Vault, and each player can unlock an Ominous Vault only one time.

   • Each Ominous Vault will contain 2 to 5 stacks of loot. It pulls from three loot tables to give out loot: Common, rare, and unique loot.
     • There will be 1 to 3 sets of common loot in each Ominous Vault. In the case that no rare loot is given, you will get an extra set of common loot (which means you could get up to 4 sets of common loot).
     • There's an 80% chance for an Ominous Vault to have a set of rare loot.
     • There is a 75% chance for an Ominous Vault to have a set of unique loot.
   • Common loot includes the following: Emerald, Wind Charge, Arrow of Slowness IV, Diamond, Ominous Bottle III - V
   • Rare loot includes the following: Block of Emerald, Enchanted Crossbow, Block of Iron, Golden Apple, Enchanted Diamond Axe, Enchanted Diamond Chestplate, Enchanted Book, Block of Diamond
