The Best Treasure Chests in Kingdom Hearts

[@cerocero2817]

Regular pat in 2028 if KH4 hasn't released: Top 100 vertices in the Kingdom Hearts series

[@coreDesignix]

tbh i'd be interested in that ranking. some of those vertices are much crisper than others

[@TheUltimateRare]

can't wait for him to talk about hottest chick. Man those little animals are cute.

[@arrownaut]

Best grunts in the series ranked

[@velvetbutterfly]

@@arrownautbest goon material in each KH game

[@agoodduck]

The answer is every chest from kh1 because those are the ones you open with that adorable little “tink tink” animation

[@BiggBossChanel]

Dream drop also has it so your thesis is refuted

[@superkh12]

The answer is every chest from KH1 because it's KH1 and NOT KH2.

[@TheCheezwiz1]

Even as a grown adult, I say "tap tap" nearly every time whenever I open a chest in kh1 and I only started playing these games a few years ago

[@LastGreatDen]

Since Pat RUDELY skipped over what is clearly the Best KH Experience Ever, I will now tell you the best chest in KHUX: namely, any of the early game SP Gauge chests before you get any one (1) broken, power-crept medal that completely breaks SP management, which was the closest the game got to actual gameplay.

[@Singysinger7722]

Agreed, I can’t count the number of times I desperately searched a map for an SP orb chest so I can use all my strong medals on the boss

[@KaimArgonarEyyyy]

Been too long, I dun remember an experience anything like that. All I remember are the same copy-paste attack animations, and the numbers in the billions and billions...-

[@VermilionRen]

Honestly, I love vids about extremely niche, but unique topics that you wouldn't find just anywhere on KZbin. Keep on being you, Pat!!

[@DarkOverlord96]

03:30 I've no idea if this is me having a dirty mind or Pat is just a clever lil' sneak but the fact that Sora started talking to the cafe lady when Pat was talking about his "favorite chest in Traverse Town" made me pause for a bit.

[@RegularPat]

LMAO okay so it was not intentional but when editing I did realize that it could be perceived that way

[@MrMetal-xe8lg]

17:50 yes Pat, I too was wondering why the chests looked different, genuinely thank you for putting it to rest.

[@jetstreamjackie3437]

You underestimate your audience, a list of all the best treasure chests is an absolute BANGER RegularPat video for me. I love these series-long meandering journeys where we talk about stuff that isn’t very important but is still interesting. Happy holidays Pat!!

[@dex1157]

I sent this thumbnail to my partner yesterday. Just the thumbnail, no context, and she laughed audibly. Thanks for all the great videos in 2023. Even if none of my submissions made it, I loved the worst quotes bracket, and the spin-offs video/popular characters video I did get to participate in, and thought they were fascinating. Thank you for making them all, and best of luck in 2025.

[@dex1157]

Okay, watched the video, and two real points to make. 1: YOU CAN OPEN THE ATLANTICA CHEST OUTSIDE ARIEL'S GROTTO? One thing I love that KH1 does is not tell you how many chests there are, because it leaves the player free to actually explore, and situations like this, were I have never known you can open that chest. Maybe a middle ground where the journal doesn't say how many chests there are, *until* you have them all, then you get the Mickey? 2: Gonna argue San Fransokyo...kind of. I get why people find it frustrating, but for me, I loved digging through the nooks and crannies of SF's back-alleys to find chests. It made the area feel more...real to me, in a way KH hadn't much until 3. And my favourite chest in that area is hidden in one of those alleys. It made me feel so proud when I found it unaided. But that might be because I love BH6. The film is a comfort movie for me, and I actually love Hiro (in the movie. In the game, he's...fine.). Hell, I still have a soft spot for the series, as watered-down as it is compared to the brilliance that is the movie.

[@charaunderwood]

i just want the yotube audience to know that pat edited a portion of this video on stream via a teacher roleplay type deal while putting the twitch audience in the place of a class watching Days as a movie. if you listen closely closely to the beasts castle section you can even hear the chat fighting with each other and asking pat strange questions

[@JFairy189]

No lie, I think the quotes bracket was your magnum opus. That reading of Riku's KH3 Remind quote is *chef's kiss*

[@ragnarok1310]

Still kills me when I think about it

[@TealOpal]

I'm a socks and underwear truther; getting those for Christmas as an adult saves me a few trips to the laundry AND grants me a buffer against any socks that mysteriously go missing for a few weeks. Also unrelated but great work on this one Patty! I'm only 9 minutes in so far but the writing has been really witty.

[@dex1157]

I've never been big on socks for Christmas, but I'm slowly coming around on underwear. Mainly because big shock, my much older parents have more disposable income for me, so if they get me them, I know it's that *good* shit. Sam Vimes strikes again. I haven't had to by new underwear in like...5 years because they just last so damn long.

[@KaimArgonarEyyyy]

I hate clothes shopping in general so they're appreciated. Even though underwear and socks purchase would literally take a reach-and-grab to do.

[@RecruitofApollo]

"Call me a PETA member outside SeaWorld, because I'm putting this fuckin' dolphin out of business." Not something I was expecting to hear, but I think my day's been improved by it?

[@sirpsycactus]

27:35 Fun fact: if we ignore 'number of rooms/room transitions per line' and look over KH2's maps, a majority of 'normal' KH2 worlds (so not cases like 100 Acre Woods or Atlantica) follow a version of this '4-pronged' >-< shaped map! The Land of Dragons, Agrabah, Halloween Town, The Pride Lands, Space Paranoids, Radiant Garden (if we remove CoR entrances), and - if you count the boss arenas Proof of Existence leads to as legitimate rooms and allow that room to serve as the entire 'middle line' - The World That Never Was all adhere to this layout!

[@perpetualnotion9841]

if this is 'stale content', then im clearly a sucker for week-old, left-out potato chips with a speck of dust on them. i LOVE ranking content for an entire hour

[@gru4394]

That thumbnail of xemnas and Zeus got me greased up🌚

[@coleehlert527]

Not only do I love the more niche videos you do, but I love how thorough you are on everything. I look forward to watching this one repeatedly over the next few months.

[@spencergilchrist1457]

7 years from now, when KH4 releases, I hope we get a 13 hour video updating every single ranking/tournament/tier list/whatever with new game content and we get to spend our time hunting down the timestamp where you show whatever the best chest in KH4 is because we got lost in the semi-open world design of Quadratum or wherever.

[@mavisvermillion9998]

YES THAT IS NEEDED.

[@DarkOverlord96]

> 7 years > 13 hours hah

[@michaelkindt3288]

@18:51-.- I got an ad right after you said that. It was for the new mobile game of So a Spider So What. Neat.

[@the120cxx]

I got an uber ad at the same time stamp

[@17Master]

"Is it a good thing if a treasure chest is close to unfindable?" YES. It probably should only be a very small percent of treasure chests in the game, maybe even just one, but having super well hidden treasure that gives a reason for the player to explore every possible space and try every interaction puts the "hunt" back in "treasure hunt". Yes, the discussion about the chest colors was interesting. Wait, we WEREN'T supposed to used the Slide Dash skills to reach chests in Birth By Sleep?

[@Baralai]

17:51 Yes this is interesting! Im glad you went on to explain this because thats exactly the path my thought process took when listening to you discuss all of this up to this point in the video

[@FineAut]

3:48 Wait, that’s a clever idea. I would’ve loved if Mermaid Kick let Sora jump out of water like Kingdom Hearts III lets him do normally. It would just be a neat addition, and would fit with Sora being able to glide outside of Neverland.

[@acehealer4212]

28:33 “Once more, or Withstand Combo…” I love little jokes like those.

[@mavisvermillion9998]

I cackled so hard when I heard that

[@TechnicallyAstral]

Regarding the three chest types in KH1, my theory has always been that Green Chests represent personal belongings, meant to be stashed away in small areas. As in. these items belong(ed) to specific people, who stored them away in either secretive hiding places, or places with sentimental value. The blue chests come from the worlds themselves as a way to assist Sora on his journey, or as a way to reward him. The red chests are spawned by Heartless, and contain items that they either stole, or had on them when their hearts were taken. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

[@maplemabel]

i would watch pat ramble about literally anything for an hour frankly

[@sawyerpillen2930]

Just started the video so I haven’t thing to say about it yet. But, I did want to say that you and your channel is great Pat. Brought back my love for KH.

[@v3ntusX]

11:15 omg I am not alone in this 😅 it was like when going to this chest in every run, I was thinking "mh will my inventory be full again?" AND IT ALWAYS WAS.

[@mel-nl9lx]

Damn I was hoping to see whether Xemnas or Ansem had the best chest😭 (BTW great video! Have a happy holiday season and a healthy new year!)

[@tlink6080]

Audibly said "yes!" When I saw a regularpat upload, I'm cooked

[@saiyangoomba1244]

Ashamed to say that the xemnas chest clickbait worked on me 😔

[@RegularPat]

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

[@uknownada]

I love the Shiva Belt chest in Olympus Colosseum because it seems like the Blizzara spell is the one that would give the one and only hidden chest, but there's actually two! Finding a secret that the game tells you is fun, but finding a secret that the game DOESN'T tell you is even better!

[@ChucksterAtHeart]

I actually really appreciated this video, niche as it is. Much like your previous discussions on level design in these games, the chest topic does a lot to highlight how different games in this series emphasize exploration. The numbered games also have other ways they encourage exploration (trinity marks for 1, puzzle pieces for 2 and hidden Mickeys for 3) and I think those are likewise very illustrative of how these games tackle this. Thank you for a fantastic year of KH videos! Really excited for what you'll come up with next year. P.S. I don't know if this counts as short, but your appreciation for 0.2 has come up more than once on this channel and I think a dedicated video on that game would be fun, especially since I feel it tends to be a bit of a forgotten middle child in the series. At the very least you wouldn't have a lot of game to cover.

[@VinceMouse]

Final Rest: "You got this! But, uh... just in case..."

[@cambone8]

The Halloween Town gay joke got me lol

[@mavisvermillion9998]

Hope u have a good Christmas! Your content is never too niche or boring, your way of commenting and sharing your opinions on these KH topics is why myself and others watch them. Can't wait for new content in 2025!

[@sirpsycactus]

since we finally got our chest video (an endeavor i am endlessly happy was done because i love whenever regular pat makes videos as long as this about as niche topics as this), it's time for regular pat to talk about the only part of kh2 better than its chest design. that's right. ranking every emblem placement in kh2

[@omnisel]

Yo, pat, I NEED to let you know something I was forced to learn when doing KH1 rando - in Rising Falls, as you know if you go into the bubbles you can get a chest or whatever. Well, there's a SECOND chest in rising falls in the upper area that requires you to go into a bubble that _only appears on the second visit._ Blew my mind. At this point, in my mind, that chest is more obscure than the dark matter one. oh, and yes, KH1 rando is a thing. The "main" way to do it is by installing speedrunning tools, but I actually think the easiest way (by comparison) to do a KH1 randomizer is a website and ongoing project called Archipelago, which aims to allow different games to multiworld together. So you could even do a KH1+KH2 rando if you really wanted to. Be cursed with this knowledge.

[@thetrashman1120]

Pat I love your video on Disney representation on Disney in kingdom hearts, you should do the same but with final fantasy rep in KH instead. It would probably be way shorter too since there’s considerably less FF in kingdom hearts than Disney

[@krowking123]

Hour of Pat talking about treasure chest? We are so back!

[@dekuisagreatmaincharacter]

Pat is a man of his word, making good on his promise from 2021’s prestigious “Best KH Rooms” video to get more and more granular with his rankings. I wonder what will be next?

[@404Errored]

Bro this is gonna reach a point where pat ranks every texture in kingdom hearts 😂

[@MrAM-ny1nk]

I remember finding your channel right around the time you started to pick up steam. During that time in 2020 even though your vids seemed silly they were honestly the only thing that would calm me down sometimes. Thank you for all you do man.

[@whiz8569]

Don't know what it is, but this was a really solid vid. Like, when you decide not to skip a filler episode and end up finding a personal favorite. Pound for pound, KH3 probably has the best chests imo. Only problem is that it's so solid I wish there was more of it. Like, you see how fully realized the Caribbean is or the cool optional stuff in Olympus like the action figure finding sidequest or the forge area in general and you think 'man, if only the whole game was like this!' Then again, there's only so much time we have on this earth and KH3 was already under a long dev time. Good second place is KH1 which always felt the most 'classic rpg' styled in its placements if that makes sense? Especially what you do in Wonderland which reminds me of the water temple or stone temple from Legend of Zelda. (compliment)

[@cypressmicnovicz9541]

Genuinely, I was sipping my coffee when he made that Halloween Town joke at 27:25 and I nearly choked on it, was not expecting that.

[@AlastorNahIdWinRadioDemon]

I found the explanations about the KH1 treasure chests colors and their contents/locations very interesting, personally. This is the type of shit I susbcribed for all those years ago!

[@uknownada]

29:07 somehow he pronounced the W in "howse"

[@acehealer4212]

47:51 Sorry, I've been playing a lot of Final Fantasy XIV, and the phrase “Zodiac relics” gave me post-traumatic stress. The Atma… the books…

[@Ddiaboloer]

At 3:50, you say that you can't get up there with mermaid kick, but I think you can in the original. 60fps changed the physics but in the OG PS2 version you get more height from mermaid kick and can reach it.

[@Ddiaboloer]

Just did it first try on the Steam version in 30fps mode. Very easy and simple.

[@X_Nexus]

I'm really glad to hear an honest critque for KH2/KH2FM. I loved those games growing up, but I feel like there's far too much hate for KH3 and the other Osaka titles because the physics and battle styles aren't a 1 to 1 match to KH2. For KH2/KH2FM, the words are amazing, but I do agree that the world design is really lacking compared to other titles. Like I was so disappointed when I revisited the Cave of Wonders only to find it's just a flat surface without the Indiana Jones vibe KH1 had. It makes the growth abilities in KH2 almost worthless until Cavern of Remembrance showed up.

[@treddox5880]

With the games releasing on Steam this year, I played through the entire series for the first time. And so when we got to DDD, 0.2, and KH3, it put a smile on my face. “I’ve played those games now.” This was a great little tour through the whole series, and a great way to cap off the year that I finally got to do my own journey through all of the games.

[@heyoyo10gaming4]

I think that Tornado Strike is the best chest in Enchanted Dominion. You have to use Sliding Dash to get it on your first visit, and come on, it's Tornado Strike, what do you want from me

[@danbop77]

Pat I have been begging for this since I first heard you joke about it however many years ago. Heck yeah! Great video!

[@YukeWeiss]

This has real 2019 Regular Pat energy with the non-stop quips and I am here for it! Happy Holidays, Pat!

[@acehealer4212]

I clicked on this with so much excitement. You made the video about all the treasures and items in KH. So who better to spend an hour talking about his favorite treasures? Also the thumbnail is glorious.

[@elliebee3520]

Finally, an even spicier Regular Pat video than the ships ranking

[@verixforgotten1121]

"great more gummi blocks" yeah that sums up kh 1 chests alright

[@WahnderfulWah]

That chest analysis after going over KH1 was really interesting! For someone equally as in love with the game, that was really awesome! Never thought about the designs before that way.

[@MikeKennedyNFL]

Pat’s KH2 rants feed families

[@RegularPat]

it's the holidays after all. eat up

[@SilverTomMedia]

I'm in awe at the thumbnail and that Xemnas costume needs to be modded into KH3 as soon as possible along with a festive remix of Darkness Of The Unknown -- Anyway, awesome video Pat!

[@schLatee]

Thank you for making awesome videos Pat, my favorite KZbinr hands down.

[@elji-w3k]

23:04 I read that as “how are there 0 chests in this village? It burned down for a good reason!!” LOL

[@kevingunderson1334]

The real treasure in Re:Coded is not having to play it

[@sparrowsong0]

thank you for all the good videos this year pat!! i love incredibly niche kh videos so i will be here no matter what

[@Lillithlro]

I genuinely didnt know about the either of the hollow bastion chests. And ive played kh1 10 times. Usually after you point out ive missed something and get the urge to play again. Love the content! Hope youre doing well!

[@dot9670]

2:02 as someone with an aunt tina this was a fucking jumpscare i’m crying

[@ducklord8504]

I know I'm a follower, my favorite KH game is KH2. But that's only because i just absolutely love the art, story, and combat in that game. But my first KH game was KH1 and I do have to say as much as I love KH2 it doesn't have the same moments that KH1 has of finding random puzzles in the world and being rewarded for coming back with something like gravity. I got so excited when I realized I could use gravity to lower platforms. And my favorite part of KH1 was definitely the return to neverland when you finally get glide, the feeling of flying freely during the captain hook fight and again at the clock tower and the lines that Sora says about how he's excited to tell Riku and Kairi that he flew and wondering if they'll believe him. It's just one of my favorite moments in any of the games.

[@mellemadswoestenburg1296]

I was sincerely hoping Ansem's chest would be your pick for End of the World. The grand return of "Hey do you have time to talk about my exposed nipples?"🤣🤣🤣

[@KEVINF0X]

Pat, your content never felt stale. I'm just happy to hear your opinions. Happy holidays ❤

[@kirbyofthestarsfan]

18:51 AN SD ACTUALLY STRUCK ME HERE 🤣

[@fluffy14sweet]

Same. Fittingly it was for the physical omnibus of Vaati Vidya's Dark Souls Lore.

[@tombecker381]

What a turn around. My first Regular Pet Video I saw was the all chest in KH1. What a nostalgia

[@thegamedevcave]

the dark matter in hollow bastion gave me PTSD when it contained an important item for progression the first time I did a KH1 randomizer. Up until that point I had no idea that there was a chest there at all... after having played the game at least 10 times. It's both my favorite and most hated chest in the game now XD

[@VinceMouse]

The chests in KH1 don't have any real difference between them, but they ARE Sora, Donald, and Goofy colored, with Sora Chests being most common, and a lot of green chests are in 'safe' areas, with Goofy being the party tank, keeping you safe.

[@Logan-tz1ry]

Pat, I hate to inform you of this, but... you NEED all thirteen Xehanort Reports to finish the game (or at least the final story of the game), so the best chest in Deep Space (edit: and the Keyblade Graveyard, yikes) is actually required for Ventus

[@DarkOverlord96]

Everyone knows Aqua has the best treasure chest. She's the reason why Birth by Sleep has an E +10 rating.

[@StarWolf5298]

4:41 That's what you're supposed to do? I just glide to it.

[@acehealer4212]

34:14 By the way, my favorite Castle of Dreams chest is probably that one sitting in the rafters there. It's kind of a pain to get to early on, but that makes it memorable, and the reward is a strong Shotlock, Thunderstorm. Aqua and Terra just find their Thunderstorms outside the manor, so this makes it a little more special for Ven.

[@somari8591]

I KNEW BINGING THE ESSENTIALS PLAYLIST WOULD SPAWN A NEW VIDEO!!! ITS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE

[@thegamedevcave]

Other people : treasure chest rankings? man this is the bottom of the barrel Us, people of culture : it's a Christmas miracle!

[@orngcreator6115]

A thumbnail that deserves to be in a museum.

[@AlastorNahIdWinRadioDemon]

I actually started playing 0.2 recently, and 100%'d it, because if you talking about it so much, Pat, and I also thought its collectible placements were pretty good and dare I say, fun to find, in a lot of cases.

[@aceproductions43]

47:21 😂😂😂

[@CaptainZlex]

Regular Pat takes another step on his quest to rank everything in the KH franchise.

[@hyperEM._]

3:48 you don't necessarily need glide to get over to this rock, if you set your game to 30 fps and keep dolphin kicking near the rock you will get on it after some time

[@kirbyofthestarsfan]

You should do a video ranking all the boss arenas! I enjoy the big rants on KH2 tbh lol Also would be nice seeing what areas in a world is given much context as to why it's a boss area (a vibe check that Clayton fails sadly). Generally something I think would be nice to rank, Captain Hook's arena in BBS is really cool

[@cammyp4808]

57:53 technically there is a reward, you get an HP boost for every 111 over the required amount. It's not a chest reward, but it's something

[@madmaster0015]

Funny about those KH3 Sora clones. That was the part I enjoyed most in that whole third act of the game. So I just kept collecting them and was surprised that the game eventually forces you to stop and gives you a permanent HP boost.

[@autisticreactions4397]

Oh, you want an idea? How about a what if video? What if DreamWorks did a “kingdom hearts” Speculate ideas on which movie it would make a world out of, who would be your party members, speculate level design. And what sort of Easter eggs will be set up for the sequel. Anything else you can come up with?

[@MirbyStudios]

Don't worry Pat, I found the bit about chest variations in KH1 and their contents was actually quite interesting.

[@tarastargaze3833]

Hyuck your quickie ideas, I want favorite Lucky Emblems in each world now

[@Baralai]

13:02 As a child, I had no idea how to get to that treasure chest. There wasn't much on the internet yet either in like 2002, at least not that I could find. Maybe some walkthrough out there in its massive wall of text. But I totally had to do the Dumbo thing to get up there, AND i didn't even know about the Dumbo skip at that time. Even then I was like, wow what a crazy solution to find this treasure chest 🤣

[@inkysora665]

I never knew about the chests in Olympus coliseum unlockable via the torches. I've already went and done after watching this! Thanks!

[@sato-lr2ln]

I’m okay with the wait for KH4 news going on a bit longer if it means we get more of Pat making me appreciate the older games even more

[@KokuroSame]

Small but fun project idea, rank all the different trailers for each Kingdom Hearts Video/Pick the best one and explain why you think it’s the best for each one. Less you have to do and still Kingdom Hearts related.

[@WheelBite_]

Just when I thought he couldn’t think of anymore, he ranks EVERY CHEST

[@ikeillue8385]

This has nothing to do with the topic being discussed, but seeing 0.2 then KH3 back to back in a video has made me think yet again, what the heck happened? 0.2 was fantastic, and I was super excited to get KH 3 after playing that game. Then we got KH3.... and frankly its amazing to me that I would rather play a 2 hour long game with very little story, than the actual full release of the mainline series.

[@66Roses]

"They could have released Terra's [Enchanted Dominion] visit as a cereal box demo disk." They basically did.

[@fishwaterhazarddelta2434]

THANK YOU SANTA PAT!

[@VinceMouse]

Once again, I remain the only person who liked the gummi ship sections.

[@seanstrader.013]

i mean i listened to this at work without video and knew the exact chests you were talking about every time so i think the niche is hit solidly on the head

[@V3nV0l]
