Baldur’s Gate III – How to Open the Gilded Chest in the Owlbear Nest

In Baldur’s Gate III, you’ll come across the Gilded Chest in the Owlbear Nest which can be found in the Forest west of the Emerald Grove Enviors waypoint by heading into the Cave Mouth.

When you try to open the chest, you’ll be hit with magic preventing you from looting the contents inside. Follow the steps below to crack that baby open!

1. Jump across the water and head behind the statue
2. Pass the perception check to locate the Selunite Prayer Sheet on the ground
3. Interact with the prayer sheet and pass the religion check (might not be necessary but included it anyway)
4. Pick up the prayer sheet then jump back over to the chest
5. Open your inventory and read the Selunite Prayer Sheet
6. Open the chest (it contains an Idol of Selune and a Moondrop Pendant among other things)

As an FYI, it would be worth it to bring Shadowheart with you when you try to loot this chest. You’ll have a conversation with her that would reveal more about her if you pass an insight skill check.
