Your New Chest Friend (Mimic Companion)

Your New Chest Friend!Meet Chester. Chester is a friendly mimic with a lootable inventory - essentially a walking chest. It can't take damage, and if you get in a fight it will disappear until you get that whole business sorted out. Upon first interacting with it, it will cough up a Claim Ticket, an item that allows the holder to command Chester as its owner, whom it will follow around. If the ticket gets lost, a new one will be given to you when you long rest.

Chester is not a summon or a true follower character - it just literally follows you around. It'll move between regions and teleport waypoints, and do its best to keep up with you. It cannot jump or climb, but can teleport when you call for it.

Never Lose Your Loot Again

Chester can be found on the Nautiloid, replacing the infamous Tutorial Chest - but don't worry, any items that mods have added to the tutorial chest will be found inside Chester - as long as you actually recruit it there.

Otherwise, Chester can be found replacing various chests in the world, slowly accumulating their contents as it waits patiently for someone to open it up. And when it comes time to fight the Elder Brain, it'll even bring all the stuff in your Camp Chest along for the ride.

Hold onto your Claim Ticket!

Chester's Claim Ticket is a small slip of paper that both designates the holder as Chester's owner, and allows them to use four spells to command it:

• []Go Away: Commands Chester to disappear in a puff of smoke.

  []Come Here: Commands Chester to return to its owner's side - either by running over or by teleporting if separated by enough distance. If you previously told it to Go Away, this will undo that.

  []Stay: Commands Chester to stay where it is, until commanded otherwise or you teleport/move between regions.

  []Fetch: Commands Chester to find and store any items in the area inside of itself, and bring them back to you. Chester can fetch both loose items and items on bodies. If loose, Chester won't retrieve an item that is a container, or that would count as stealing. Chester must be able to see an item before it can fetch it.
