Baldur’s Gate 3 has a ton of secrets , and one that will likely give more than one player a headache is the golden chest inside the Owlbear’s Nest , a cave located slightly northeast of the Withered Village.
If you’ve reached this chest but you don’t know what else to do to open it , don’t worry, the solution is quite simple and we’ll explain it to you in this entry of our guide . In addition, we’ll also show you what rewards await inside , in case you’re curious.
How to open the golden chest? (Solution)
The golden chest in the owlbear’s nest is, in principle, impossible to open .
If you try to interact with him a protective spell will activate causing you quite a bit of damage, so it’s best not to try to force it.
Instead, in order to open it you will have to do a couple of things first:
- From the chest position, use the “Jump” action to perform a jump to the position of the large stone statue on the side.
- Once you have crossed to the statue, walk behind it .
- Your characters will make a Perception check to reveal a Selûnite Prayer Sheet that was hidden on the ground.
- Pick up the note and return to stand in front of the golden chest.
- Now open your inventory and read the contents of the note in front of the chest to open it.
Note, it is important to note that you have to read the note near the chest for it to open . If it does not work, try moving position and repeating the process (the religion attribute of the character reading the letter may also influence this).
Also, if you don’t want to negatively affect your relationship with Shadowheart , we recommend that you avoid opening the chest in front of her. If you have her in your party, you can separate her from the group and leave her at the entrance of the nest (or even outside, in the forest), so that she doesn’t see you opening the chest. It’s even better if she’s not part of the active party and is waiting at the camp . You’ll save yourself that trouble. Anyway, for the rest, you already know what to do to open the damn chest.
What rewards are inside the golden chest?
Inside the golden chest, once opened, you will be able to find the following items to collect:
- Selûnite Rite
- Silver necklace
- Bloodstone
- Idol of Selune
- Moon Tear Pendant (Rare Magic Item)
For the most part, as you can see, these are valuable items that you can sell for a tidy sum of gold at merchants. Special mention should be made of the Moon Tear Pendant, a piece of equipment that when worn on a character with 50% or less of their hit points does not provoke attacks of opportunity . You can either equip it or consider giving it to Gale , as it is an artifact that can help you on the human mage’s personal quest .
