In Baldur's Gate 3, an observant player may spot a seemingly harmless treasure chest sitting atop a pillar in the Druid Grove. As there is no immediate threat to either the chest or the player, gamers can safely postpone their pursuit of this particular spot and instead focus on further exploration.
In general, Baldur's Gate 3 presents cunning and exhilarating methods for accessing hidden locations. However, those who thoroughly delve into the Druid Grove will soon realize that the elusive Shiny Chest remains out of reach. While not an insurmountable challenge, acquiring the treasure demands the player's ingenuity and resourcefulness.
How To Reach The Shiny Chest
Jump from the top level and have a healer ready.
Use the Misty Step spell.
To open the locked Shiny Chest in the Sacred Pool level, strike it with a Void Bulb. Please note that players will need to obtain the key from Topaz or possess proficient lock-picking skills. It is crucial to consider this, as using the Misty Steps spell to reach the Shiny Chest without being able to open it would require casting the spell multiple times, resulting in unnecessary expenditure.
Jumping from a high point can often cause the jumper's HP to drop to zero, but a healer can mitigate this damage. It should be noted that the character who jumps will require additional healing when descending from the pillar.
The easiest method involves using a Void Bulb obtained from the tutorial section of the game. By throwing the bulb at the Shiny Chest, it will be brought down to the player's level, eliminating the need to expend spell slots or sustain any injuries. When playing with teammates, it is advisable to coordinate actions and ensure everyone is in their designated positions.
Baldur's Gate 3 is currently in Early Access for PC and will release on August 3rd, 2023. The PlayStation 5 version is scheduled for release on September 6th, 2023. Development for the Xbox Series X/S version is ongoing.
