Ashen Marauder's Chest

The Ashen Marauder's Chest is a type of Ashen Treasure Chest in Sea of Thieves. Treasure Chests are locked with locks that can only be opened by Skeleton Keys held by Gold Hoarders on every Outpost. They are willing to buy these Chests for a fraction of their worth. Ashen Chests are Devil's Roar versions of regular Treasure Chests, fetching a higher Gold and Reputation reward than their common counterparts.
