Strongboxes are a special type of loot container found throughout Wraeclast in Ambush league. When opened, a strongbox will release groups of monsters to surround and attack the character. Only once all of the ambushing monsters are slain will a strongbox relenquish its loot. The monsters released by a strongbox also drop loot and grant experience when killed.[1]
