The Elysian Box

The Elysian Box

The Elysian Box was a valuable artifact that featured prominently in Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. Sculpted out of gold from the Folsense Gold Mine, the box is said to kill everyone who opens it. Because of this gruesome reputation, it became known as Pandora's Box. The Goat Emblem of the Herzen family appears on its lid.

Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box

Layton and Luke visit Layton's mentor, Dr. Schrader, who claims to have found the Elysian Box that is claimed to kill anyone that opens it. When the pair arrive at Schader's home, they find him seemingly dead, and the Box missing, only a ticket stub for the Molentary Express as a clue to its disappearance. It is later revealed that Don Paolo stole the Elysian box. When opened Layton and Luke find that the Elysian Box is empty, leading to more questions as to its value and legend. Eventually, after events at Anton's castle, it is revealed that the box was a way for Anton to send his love Sophia a message of love, contradicting it's well-known reputation.
