2 Necropolis Halls Chests issue

In the Chamber of the Unforged in the Necropolis Halls, there are 4 chests after the boss fight.
The unique chest and the other one work fine, but the other 2 side by side at the far end of the room NW aren't updating area progress.

As you can see in screenshot1, i have 14 out of 17 chests unlocked before opening them.

This value doesn't update after opening both of them as you can see in screenshot2.

I have a save game from before opening the 2 chests in case you need it, but can't attach it here for some obscure reason. Let me know if you need it and an alternate way of delivering it

    So, seems this isn't a bug after all, since the last 2 were just chests i missed somewhere else.
    I realized this when on my 2nd game i was only missing 1 instead of 2 (even without these 2).

    After much googling, managed to find my final 1 at the end of the Vault of the Beloved in a fog on the top left heading southeast

    Might want to add the chest count to 19 in the area to avoid this confusion of these 2 not counting for total

    PS5 with the same issue.

    Count says 16/17, but counting says I have 19 total; 1 unique chest and 18 others. Either the game is bugged, or there's "extra" chests that aren't being counted in that total.

    Stuck here as well. !9 chests completed on the map but it says 16/17 and 94% discovered. Every quest is done and my next step is the point of no return, so trying to finish the zones.

    I thought there was an error as well and felt validated when I found this post but after reading the last comment, I dug deeper. I had 15/17 and 88% and counted 18 total chests on my map (includes the fancy one) so was annoyed. But I finally found a YouTube video that walked through where exactly all chests are. There’s is one going up the stairs behind the eluvian and one through a hidden doorway up the rocky ledge to the left before you go down to leave the vault of the beloved to head into the memorial gardens. Check out @MrCodeslinger on YouTube. His Neceopolis video on chests showed me where I was missing them and even walked through how to get them to show if they weren’t initially. 

    but EA does need to update the chest count as that is really the issue.

      Confirming that 88% and 15/17 with 18 chests open on the map does still have 2 chests to be found. I was in this situation and used the video to find one mist doorway in the Vault of the Beloved (pretty sure it wasn't there before, and it's gone now) and the Lost Watcher's Wing. I'd just completed Deadly Playtime when I returned to the Necropolis, and I believe that the Lost Watcher's Wing was closed when I arrived. It opened up while I was teleporting around the Necropolis, but the chest was initially non-interactable. I had to travel outside the Necropolis and come back, and then I was able to open the last chest. After completing those two chests, I have 20 chests showing up on the map as open and 100% map completion.

      Yes! I have opened 19 total chests and still show only 16 of 17 open. I have no idea where the one I haven't opened could possibly be. I am playing on an Xbox series x so this is a problem across the board with the game. Next update maybe?

    This same thing has happened to me. Unfortunately I noticed way to late so I don’t think I will be going back to that save, but after defeating the boss, I assume the same chest did not work correctly so now I am stuck at 15/17 chest open, with no way to fix in the necropolis

      I also have exactly the same issue. 15/17 chests but have clearly opened 17 x chests on the map, meaning im stuck at 88% completeion for the map. the OCD in me is having serious completion issues here!

    I'm on PS5 and I have the exactly same issue. I have all the chests open but it says I've only opened 15/17, so now my map progress is stuck at 88%.
