How to open the gilded chest of Selune in Baldur’s gate 3

By

No adventurer can resist the allure of a chest in a CRPG like Baldur's Gate 3. The promise of powerful loot is impossible to resist, and yet some chests aren't so simple to open. Instead of requiring a key, or just opening on its own, the Gilded Chest of Selune you can find in the Owlbear Nest is more of a puzzle than anything else. There are a lot of goodies to get inside this Gilded Chest, and despite how it looks, you can crack it open as soon as you find it no matter what class you are.

How to open the Gilded Chest

This chest is protected by a magical barrier, which is why you can't open it by normal means. Despite what you might think, you don't need to have any innate magical abilities to open it.

Step 1: Reach the Gilded Chest inside the Owlbear Nest.

Step 2: From the chest's location, use the Jump action to cross a gap to the statue of Selune to the south.

Step 3: Walk around this little area until you pass a perception check.

Step 4: This check will reveal a scroll that is the Selunite Prayer Sheet.

Step 5: Pick the sheet up and jump back to the chest.

Step 6: Stand directly in front of the chest, open your inventory, and right-click the sheet and select the Read option.

Step 7: The magical barrier on the chest will break, allowing you to crack it open and take all the loot inside.

Note that Shadowheart does not approve of this action if she's in your party to see you do this, unless you pass a skill check to convince her otherwise, so consider leaving her at camp before using the scroll. Inside the chest you will get:

  • Selunite Rite
  • Silver Necklace
  • Bloodstone
  • Idol of Selune
  • Moondrop Pendant

How to hack in Fallout 4
A computer terminal in Fallout 4.

No matter what perks or skills your character has in Fallout 4, hacking will always come down to your ability as a player. There's no way to cheat the system here, and if you don't grasp what the game is asking you to do, you're mostly out of luck. Terminals will hide great loot behind their cryptic puzzles, as well as allow you to take over certain controls to turn your enemy's security against them. Some have very interesting logs about certain characters or events for all you lore junkies out there. Hacking has tons of uses, so let's brush up on your computer skills and give you a refresher on how to hack in Fallout 4.
How to hack in Fallout 4
When you first interact with a terminal to hack in Fallout 4, it will be a little overwhelming. As long as you have a high enough hacking skill to attempt a hack, you can go right into the minigame.

The basic idea of hacking is to find words hidden in that jumble of letters and symbols. Your goal is to find the correct word to crack the terminal before you run out of attempts. Once you find any word and select it, the terminal will tell you how close that word is to the correct one based on how many letters it has in the same space as the answer in the form of a likeness rating. The higher the rating, the more letters it has in common. It is somewhat similar to Wordle, only you don't type in the words yourself.

How to start the Nuka-World DLC in Fallout 4
People standing outside Nuka World.

The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World -- we'll show you how to start this DLC.

How to fix ‘servers at capacity’ error in Helldivers 2
A Helldivers 2 player fires a laser canon.

Helldivers 2 is a ton of fun to play, but the game isn’t without its small list of issues. One of these maladies is an error code that reads “servers at capacity.” If you’ve ever seen this pop-up window, you’ll know just how frustrating it can be to get around. But as far as fixes go, there's not much one can do when it comes to getting around this roadblock.
Can you fix the servers at capacity error?

Unfortunately, this is one error in Helldivers 2 that you have no power over. This issue falls on the game being just too popular for the game's servers to keep up with. A statement posted by developer Arrowhead in its official Discord said: "Our team is working around the clock to solve these issues. While we've been able to mitigate some of the causes, we are still struggling to keep up with the scaling that is needed to accommodate all our Helldivers. Therefore, we’ve had to cap our concurrent players to around 450,000 to further improve server stability. We will continue to work with our partners to get the ceiling raised.”
