I had posted a response a little bit ago, but took it down cause I was worried it might spoil. You have to use a Thief to open it. I tried bashing it and casting all kinds of spells and they didn't work. What you have to beat is a DC of 34. If you have Tomi, I think he can do it. Otherwise, you will need to use thieves tools + whatever level to get it to work for you. My character has a Take 20 + 12 for 32. I need at least a Thieves toolkit +3. Other than this, I haven't been able to affect the chest. It absorbs up to at least 17 hp damage and appears to take no damage with any spells. Knock doesn't even work. I did open it though, and it provides random treasure.

EDIT: I also mentioned that I didn't know that level existed earlier, so want to thank you for letting me know.

When I opened the chest, the first time, I got Petty's Tempest (some kind of mace), second time I opened it I got a ring of prot +5. My character is a 4th level thief (20 overall though - loaded an older save game with newer character). If you can pick a DC of 34, then you don't need any other items to open the chest. Otherwise, you will need Thief Toolset to augment your skills. If you talk to the boy and say you want to do future business, he will become a store that you can purchase items from. Unfortunately, he only appears to have Tools +1. He does have some cool scrolls that I didn't see before though. Worth a look. Other than that, he just appears to have +1 stuff.
