There are a total of 7 Decayed Chests in God of War Ascension. Finding all of them will earn you the “If it ain’t broke…” gold trophy. To reconstruct the decayed chests you need the Amulet of Uroborus which is acquired automatically in the beginning of chapter 13. Stand in front of the chests and press L2+Square to reconstruct them. There is no need to loot the chests. If you die or restart checkpoints you will have to do it again! Doing this via chapter select won’t unlock the trophy. The first chest is in chapter 13 and the last one in chapter 19. So you need to play through all these chapters again if you missed something.

#1 – Chapter 13 – 0:05
From where the Oracle is located you need to go left. The decayed chest is at the very end of a broken bridge and hard to see.
#2 – Chapter 14 – 0:45
Immediately after this chapter starts you will jump down to a room with a big bull statue. When leaving this room you will run straight into the decayed chest.
#3 – Chapter 14 – 1:08
In the same corridor the last decayed chest was in. Keep going down the corridor and turn right.
#4 – Chapter 14 – 1:25
After reconstructing the last decayed chest you need to exit the corridor and go outside. Kill all enemies. Instead of going left to repair the bridge you need to go to the far right. Due to the fixed camera angles you cannot see this chest until you stand in front of it.
#5 – Chapter 14 – 1:41
From the last chest go left, but do not repair the bridge yet. Drop down to the ruins. At the very end of the ruins is the chest (next to a wooden swing bridge).
#6 – Chapter 16 – 2:04
Shortly after you see the head of the dead Titan Hecatonchires (the boss you killed in the beginning of the game) you will enter the prison area. Go right and you will run straight into the chest.
#7 – Chapter 19 – 2:20
The last decayed chest is in the very beginning of chapter 19. After climbiung up the wall you need to go right. This is immediately after you finish climbing.
