A list of the locations of all sealed chests and sealed doors in Chrono Trigger, including its contents.
Zeal Palace: The only sealed door in this era (no chests). Your party sees Schala enter the door using the pendant, prompting you to do the same. Opening and entering this door are required to advance the story.

**To upgrade a chest, interact with that particular sealed chest in 600 AD. The screen will flash blue, and state it’s reacting to the pendant. Then you will be asked if you want to open the box. Choose “No,” then return to the same location in 1000 AD to acquire the upgraded contents for that chest.**
In the dead end area next to the warp gate. Only accessible via the End of Time.Guardia Castle: Red Vest (upgraded to Red Plate if visited in 600 AD)
Located on the way up to the king’s quarters in one of the rooms along the stairs.
Truce Inn: Blue vest (upgraded to Blue Plate if visited in 600 AD)

Porre Mayor’s Manor:
-White Vest (upgraded to White Plate if visited in 600 AD)

Forest Ruins: Guardian Helm OR Swallow (weapon for Chrono)
This is the blue pyramid above Medina village. A Nu appears when the pendant unlocks the blue barrier giving you the option to choose only one of two sealed chests.
**To upgrade a chest, interact with that particular sealed chest first in 600 AD. The screen will flash blue, and state it’s reacting to the pendant. Then you will be asked if you want to open the box. Choose “No,” then return to the same location in 1000 AD to acquire the upgraded contents for that chest.**
Afterwards, you can go back to the original sealed chests in 600 AD to acquire the original weapon/armor contents 😉
This era contains sealed doors instead of chests.
Bangor Dome: Alluring Top, Full Ether, Workman’s Wallet
This is the first place your party ends up after fleeing from the trial in 1000 AD.
Trann Dome: Gold Stud, Full Ether, Magic Capsule
Directly below Bangor Dome. The sealed door is behind the human survivors.
Arris Dome: Luminous Robe, Elixir, Gold Earring, Acuity Ring, Strength Capsule
The dome where the party meets Doan and retrieves seeds. The sealed door is near another door where the party first learns about the Day of Lavos. Accessing the sealed door requires the password acquired from the rat.
Keeper Dome: Wings of Time (required for story progression)
On the other side of the sewer access and near Death Peak. This is where the party can meet Belthasar. You must come here much later to advance the plot.
