In the basement of the Hammerhead bar, you'll find another chest, this one containing an Elixir and a Gold Bangle.
Upper Crust Heist
A chest in the room at the end of the left hall in the_DEBUG_ program's house rewards you with an item for Aerith's Reconstruction furniture plus Mythril and Elixirs.
Just before leaving Wall Market, don't forget to loot the chest behind the seventh idol of the Cup Noodle's challenge for a Fat Chocobo plus accessories like Soft and Sharon's Tights.
Chest Challenges in the Slums
The potesse vents of Sector 7's rundown slums conceal more riches, but they won't give up their bounty without a fight.

Meteor Bay Chest Caper
Off to the docks we go, where the weather is truly foul and the loot is doubly foul play-worthy.

Nestled in Nestlings
