There is a chest all the way at the bottom. A teleport is available after you get down there. I used my parasol to float down. The chest is located on a pipe so you have to aim at it. I have only found two so far. The other one is behind a barrier. I was able to use the Phase cutter to jump through the barrier to the box. I will post more as I see them.

Found all four today and got the achievement. Finding these required creative use of way gates and the phase cutter ability. First chest is on a pipe just above the Crystal Chamber, you will need to jump or use phase cutter from above and aim well to land on the pipe. Second is at the top of a stairwell accessed from the highest level of the arcane conservatory - use waygates to cross over to a cluttered room which you will pass through to get to the staircase. Third is behind a purple barrier/wall found on one of the lower levels of the arcane conservatory, use phase cutter to pass through the barrier. Fourth is accessed by using a way gate found roughly at 46, 25 just one level above the Crystal Chamber. You will need to use Phase Cutter from a higher level to fly over to the adjacent platform, then use the way gate to fly up to the final chest. Will post images if I can.

Note that when using the Phase Cutter ability you will take almost no damage, so you can usually use that instead of a parasol or parachute to transit from a higher level to a lower area.

Sturdy Chest on pipe on bottom level. Use your Phase Cutter ability, reset by walking across Energy Condenser for Phase Cutter Recharge.

Arcane Conservatory level chest. Jump down to lower platform from crystal junk room, using Phase Cutter. Click waygate next to platform to take you straight to chest level.

For anyone else struggling to find the last Chest (the one behind the barrier): Get on the second ring / platform (counted from the bottom). Go to the south corner. You'll see a platform with a closed door below. Jump down and use slow fall or the Phase Cutter to not leave a splat on the ground. Look left. There's a giant hole in the wall with some stairs visible. Use the Phase Cutter to get over there. Walk along the edge and jump into the hole. Turn right and you'll see the barrier. Use the Phase Cutter again to pass through it.

Some notes on reaching the last couple of chests:

Drop to the first platform (up one level from the "basement")
Go to 40.6, 37.7, facing north
Phase cutter across to balcony
Recharge phase cutter
Take waygate on the west side of this balcony up, up, up
Land on balcony at 61, 38
Walk to NW corner of balcony (60.4, 35.9) facing NW
Wear your parasol (very helpful)
Phase cutter toward crystals below you, guiding parasol as you fall
Go up the stairs to the chest (61,11)

Comment by Aernath

How did everyone reach to the highest floor? Am I missing something because of my noobishness? :P
*Update: OK, I just noticed Dockie's video after I clicked the right arrow and yeah, it was not easy to see but you go up from the lower side part waygate.
(Note: NOT the lowest one, but same logic, sends you up) It's at a small side platform's side, or, just watch the video like me :P

Comment by Wyspe

For the TomTom enjoyers:

/way 62.34, 38.09 (You can reach this chest via an upward going waygate)
/way 49.67, 40.00 (Waygate to topmost chest)
/way 61.92, 10.94 (Chest atop the stairway)
/way 48.47, 45.23 (Use phase cutter and/or jump boosting ability to get to the other side to run up the stairs)
/way 57.30, 91.64 (Chest behind the barrier)
/way 56.39, 62.70 (Possible point to float through the hole in the wall to get to the chest behind the barrier)
/way 47.45, 62.19 (Chest on the pipe, drop down from platform above it with a parasol or slow fall)

I was mad enough to do it on tier 11 week one. All is possible.
I used gust of wind as a shaman and parasol including the phase cutter.
If you do not have a parasol toy, you can quickly get one by flying to Revendreth. In front of the raid (approx. /way 39.45, 44.11) there is one in the open world you can pick up.

Comment by sauerlandcowboy

You are a big, massive tauren with a whole lot of wind drag in your fur, despite your highly aerodynamic statue? Your Phase Cutting always comes a bit short? Don't you worry, You can reach all chest by being creative with your Weathered Purple Parasol.

Comment by Viktoria

All sturdy chests can be obtained in one run in the Shadowed Wings storyline variant (maybe in others as well).

Comment by Balke

It took me way to long to figure out to get the barrier chest you have to Phase Cutter into the shield. Not above into the shield itself. It will break and you can get the chest. I feel so dumb right now.

Comment by Floocki

Am leichtsten mit einem Evoker oder DH zu erledigen. Ihr könnt aber alternativ auch ein "Schirm-Toy" usen.

Comment by Astrend

I got all mine in Tier 9 "Smash and Jab" story. I had a bit of gummies, so I can't tell you exactly how I got them all, but at the very least, you can be assured that it can all be found in the Smash and Jab story. Whoop Whoop!

Comment by Adahlinas

I had a bit of trouble understanding Wyspe's comment, so here are the coords for the chests themselves in case someone needs them:
/way 62.34, 38.09 (Top-most chest)
/way 61.92, 10.94 (Chest atop the stairway)
/way 57.30, 91.64 (Chest behind the barrier)
/way 47.45, 62.19 (Chest on the pipe)

Although I didn't use exactly the same path from Dockie's comments, seeing the video about the "Arcane Conservatory level chest" helped me reach the "Top-most chest," and seeing the video about the "Chest on pipe on bottom level" helped me reach the "Chest on the pipe."

Comment by Melandroso

There are four chests

Two of them are accessible from the first floor, ie. the first ring-shaped platform above the bottom crystal cave, one from the second and one from the top floor.

1. Chest on pipe - /way 47.5, 62.2 (chest on pipe)
When you stand on the edge of the first floor at 39.43, 53.78 (or at approximately "7 o'clock" if you look at the mini-map and consider it as a clock), you can look down and see some pipes. One of them is pink and extends straight out from the cave wall. At the tip of it, there is a chest. Use a parasol (Stylish Black Parasol or similar) to jump down and land safely on the pipe. If you use parasol, remember to equip it fully before jumping!

2. Teleport chest - /way 62.3, 38.1 (teleport chest)
If you go to the northernmost part of the first floor (ie. at noon if the minimap is a clock), you can see a solitary platform attached to the wall and with a teleport-like disc on the left side. Get to that platform, using for instance a parasol (or similar) to jump down. If you use parasol, remember to equip it fully before jumping! Use the teleport-like disc to get high-up on a platform - there you will find a chest. Use the teleport to get down again.

3. Barrier chest - /way 57.3, 91.6 (barrier chest)
For the next one, go to the second floor, ie. the second ring-shaped platform from the bottom. This is the floor with the resurrection stone. From this ring, you can normally access the boss/treasure room via a teleport to the left of the resurrection stone (may differ from story to story - I could while doing the Waygates Wiles story. When entering the boss room, there is an opening to the left in the back. Go in, go down the stairs and follow the path, down more stairs and to the left and at the end, you can see a barrier with a chest behind it. Use the phase-cutter to move through the barrier. If the boss room is not accessible like this, you can try to get to a wall-platform at the same height as the first ring-shaped platform from the bottom, which you can see when facing south/standing at 43.62, 55.16. Go into the room and turn left and you will see the barrier to the right. Use phase-cutter to cut through the barrier.

4. Staircase chest - /way 61.9, 10.9 (stairway chest)
For the last one, go to the third (or top) floor, ie the third ring-shaped platform from the bottom. When looking North, you can see an opening in cave wall showing a staircase going up to the right. There is a platform at 11 o'clock (if the minimap is a clock) and if you can access that (a teleport is available in the Waygates Wiles story), go to the room behind it, turn right, follow the stairs up and there is your chest.

Comment by patti221

For the chest on the pipe, after trying out of frustration with the phase cutter, I used a parasol from the lowest ring. i had been trying to phase cutter to a balconey then phase cutter again to the pipe. I was overshooting. then from the balconey i tried to parasol down - overshooting again. (yes, most likely a skill issue LOL). so i found not dealing with the balconey the best way to go. it actually happened by accident that i ended up with the parasol from the lowest ring onto the pipe.

Comment by Apollomantis

Oh, my, god, they went out of their way to make these as ANNNOYING as they possibly could to obtain, all the other ones have been mostly reasonable, but these are like trying to solve a rubkis cube with how they have them laid out. Not a fan at all of this delve becasue of this.

Comment by Sador

I would HIGHLY recommend doing this with a character that glide on command, either a Demon Hunter or a Dracthyr(class is...less relevant). It will save you a lot of headaches and keyboard smashing.
