The Gilded Chest inside the Owlbear Cave packs a lot of rewards but unlocking requires a lot of work. Here’s everything you need to know about opening the Gilded Chest of Selune in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Larian Studio’s Baldur’s Gate 3 is full of great characters, pets, and more packed in a campaign that spans almost a hundred hours. One of the main reasons for such a huge campaign length is side quests.

So here’s all about unlocking the Gilded Chest of Selune in the Owlbear Cave in Baldur’s Gate 3.

How to open the Gilded Chest of Selune in Baldur’s Gate 3

As the Gilded Chest is protected by Selune’s Seal, you need to read the Selunite Prayer Sheet to unlock it. Here’s a step-by-step guide to unlocking the chest:

  1. Head to the Selune statue and walk behind it to roll a passive Perception check.
  2. If successful, the roll will reveal a Selunite Prayer Sheet.
  3. For some reason, if you are unable to pass the passive Perception check, have your party members do it by walking behind the statue.
  4. Once you have the sheet, head back to the chest.
  5. Finally, open your inventory, right-click on the Selunite Prayer Sheet, and hit ‘Read.’

The Gilded Chest of Selune inside the Owlbear cave will now open.
