Understanding Grimm Chests
What They Contain
Opening a Grimm Chest will reward you with various items related to the darker side of Merge Dragons. Typically, you can expect:
- Brambles: Essential for creating higher-level items in the Bramble chain.
- Grimm Seeds: Used to grow Grimm Trees, which are your main source of Grimm Chests.
- Skulls: A key ingredient in many spooky merges, including higher-level graves.
- Unearthed Skeletons: Can be merged into a variety of bone-related items.
- Spooky Trees: Part of a separate chain of trees that complement the Grimm theme.
- Fresh Graveyards: Introduced in Version 2.2.0, these are critical for progressing through the graveyard merge chain.
How to Obtain Grimm Chests
Grimm Chests are primarily obtained through harvesting Grimm Trees. The higher the level of your Grimm Tree, the more frequently it will spawn Grimm Chests. Trees of level 4 and above are the main sources, so focusing on merging your Grimm Trees is essential to consistently acquire these chests. Additionally, be aware that some special events may occasionally offer Grimm Chests as rewards, but these are less common. Efficient farming involves ensuring a good amount of high-level Grimm Trees in your camp.
Merging Grimm Chests
A single Grimm Chest cannot be opened immediately. They must be merged into a Grimm Chest of Decay which is obtained by merging 3 regular Grimm Chests. Merging is a key part of camp management to ensure you’re making the best use of your resources.
Grimm Chest FAQs
Here are 15 frequently asked questions to give you an even deeper understanding of Grimm Chests in Merge Dragons:
Q1: How do I get Grimm Trees?

Q2: What is the purpose of Grimm Trees?
A: Grimm Trees serve as a primary source of Grimm Seeds, Necromancer Grass, Grimm Chests, Ordinary Treasure Chests and Dragon Egg Chest/Nest Vaults. They are a key component in advancing through the Grimm chains.

A: While the most reliable source of Grimm Chests is harvesting Grimm Trees in your camp, there are occasional special events or levels where Grimm Chests may be offered as rewards. However, these are less common than farming them.
Q5: What should I do if I run out of Grimm Seeds?

Q10: Can I sell Grimm Chests for coins?
A: You cannot directly sell a Grimm Chest. You need to merge it into a Grimm Chest of Decay and open that to get the items, then sell the individual items. This is usually more efficient than selling a chest, you will get more coins.
Q11: What is the importance of Fresh Graveyards from Grimm Chests?
A: Fresh Graveyards, introduced in Version 2.2.0, are a vital part of the Graveyard chain, and are now the primary way to obtain this item. Having Grimm Chests as a source of graveyards allows you to advance through this important chain.
Q12: Are there any benefits to having a large number of Spooky Trees?

Q13: How can I manage my camp space efficiently when farming for Grimm Chests?
A: Use the “bubble” method to store any mergeable items you’re not ready to deal with, this includes the Grimm Chests themselves. Try to focus on one merge chain at a time to keep your camp area clear. Be strategic when harvesting, and only grab chests when you’re ready to do something with them.
Q14: Is there a faster way to level up my Grimm Trees?
A: The fastest way to level up is by focusing on merging five Grimm Trees at once, or more. This gives you two merged items, in addition to more merging opportunity from the higher level item, and helps clear space faster in camp. The more Grimm Seeds you have, the faster you can obtain more Grimm Trees to merge.
Q15: Do Dragon homes play any part in the Grimm or Chest chains?
A: No, Dragon Homes are a separate feature of Merge Dragons and do not directly influence the Grimm or Chest merge chains. They are designed to provide a space for your dragons to live. They are not sources for chests or resource.
