There is also an Engineer's Orb that increases the quality of a strongbox. I've not tested this to see if the achievement pops when using that currency. I've (unfortunately) tried all the others you've mentioned.

Doesn't appear to be fixed in the latest patch. Nothing happens when trying to use an orb.

**update** Kept trying and one in The Ascent finally took an orb.

I tried on many kind of strongboxes and none seemed to work but i got the achievement when using an Augmentation Orb on a "plain" Strongbox. Maybe there is still an issue with all the other kind of strongbox.

Found my first rare strongbox and used an orb of chaos. It popped immediately. You may want to mention you have to have the orb in your inventory and not your stash. I had to use a portal scroll to go grab one. You also need to update the text since this achievement is now obtainable.

Found 2 more blue strongboxes I couldn't use any orbs on. Found a white strongbox and I was able to use an orb of transmutation to make it blue and get the achievement.

I also had the problem where I couldn't use orbs on the strongbox. I found a blue one and tried every orb I had in my inventory and it wouldn't use any of them, so I gave up. I came across a yellow strongbox and was able to use a vaal orb on it (which corrupted it), but I didn't get the achievement. So I guess it's still bugged. From the other comments it appears only certain orb/strongbox rarity combos will unlock it. Guess I'll try them when I get home and see if I can get any to work.

Strongboxes Spawn Randomly On Maps And Levels. Usually It Is Tagged With A "Guarded By 3 Packs Of Monsters".
- Using An Orb Of Alteration, Chance, Or Transmutation On It Is The Easiest Way To Get This Done.
You Can Also Use Most Other Orbs To Accomplish This. (Regal, Chaos, Exalted)
- Hover Over An Orb In Your Inventory To See What It Can Be Applied To.

Upgrading Or Changing The Strongbox In Any Way, Before You Open It, Nets You This Achievement.

Good Luck!

Press to use an orb on a strongbox. Strongboxes spawn at random rarity but are fairly common. The easiest way to get this, is to use an Orb of Transmutation on a normal rarity strongbox but other orbs can be used as well.
