Description
Legendary items have a red glow around them, not unlike the glows of enchanted weapons, the only difference being the colour of the glow. They are rare and have the possibility to carry you through the rest of an Act, or further into the Tower.
Legendary chests have a different sprite then standard and extra chests, being black with yellow edges and latch. They have a small chance to replace any chest on a floor.
Generation
The chance is increased with higher difficulty and lessens if one has already spawned. Only two can spawn in one run, and only one in Normal difficulty (See below for exact chances).
| Normal | Hard | Suicide | |
| First | 4.4% | 6% | 8% |
| Second | N/A | 1.2% | 3.2% |
The Alchemist's “Archeologist” perk increases the chance for a legendary chest to spawn by 1%, whether it's the first or second legendary chest found. The perk does not let you get a second legendary chest in Normal difficulty, however. Although the Tower is considered Normal difficulty, it can still spawn two legendary chests.
The game takes into account some factors when a legendary chest is generated:
Category: All legendary items are split into three distinct seperate categories: Armour, Consumables and Weapons:
- Characters that don't use the standard weapons, like the Pugilist or the Alchemist's subclass “Gunslinger” will never get a weapon from a legendary chest.
- The Alchemist never gets consumables, however if the subclass “Gunslinger” is in play, then the “Unarmed” exemption takes priority. The standard Alchemist will have to use their class skill “Combine” to craft legendary consumables, which are considered Tier 5 items.
- You will never get two of the same category. For example, you cannot get two weapons. If you get a weapon first, then you can only get either armour or a consumable afterwards. This also works with the exemptions, meaning if you play Alchemist or Pugilist, you will always get either Armour and (For Pugilist) a Consumable or (For Alchemist) a weapon.

Notes
- Unlike normal and extra chests, legendary chests are determined the floor before, as to make sure that you can't reload the game to either get a legendary chest or get a different item.
- The “Triple Threat” achievement can only be gained by the standard Alchemist, as it can get the Armour and Weapon from chests, and can craft the necessary consumable.
