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

Four adventurers exploring a cave with a torch.

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 unlock and use fast travel in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
shadows

The Assassin's Creed games have always been open-world titles that set you loose in a variety of historical locations. Assassin's Creed Shadows is no different, save for the introduction of the long-requested Japanese setting and dual protagonists. While you're earning XP and getting deeper into the game's story, it will become less and less viable to travel by foot or horse between objectives. That's where fast travel comes into play, but the system works slightly differently in this entry than usual. Here's how fast travel works in Assassin's Creed Shadows.
How to use fast travel

The core of the fast travel system in Assassin's Creed Shadows should be familiar to anyone who has played the series before. You will unlock viewpoints at set locations by climbing up to high points and synchronizing to give yourself a fast travel point, but there is another map marker you can use to fast travel as well. A new building called Kakurega are featured in most major towns and villages in the game that need to be unlocked by purchasing them with Mon. Once you do, they provide you with another fast travel point.

How to use the Friend’s Pass in Split Fiction
Zoe and Mio pose with dragons in Split Fiction.

Just like It Takes Two and A Way Out, Split Fiction is a co-op game where you have no choice but to play with a partner. This time around, though, the game is fully cross-platform so you can go through this adventure with a friend no matter where they are playing. As if that wasn't good enough, it also brings back the Friend's Pass that lets two players go through the game on their own systems with only one of them having to purchase the game. If you want to take advantage of this great deal, here's how the Friend's pass works.

How long is Split Fiction?
Zoe and Mio run through a sci-fi world in Split Fiction.

There are plenty of great co-op games on the market, and a lot are great for couples, but Split Fiction from Hazelight Studios is a special case. Unlike most multiplayer games, this one actually requires you to have a partner to play. Thankfully, that is easier than ever with cross-platform support and the Friend Pass, but it does mean you need to plan a bit more to make sure you both have enough time to see it through to the end. Each of the stuidio's games have gotten a bit longer, but is that the case with Split Fiction? Here's how long it takes to beat this co-op adventure.
How long is Split Fiction?

Split Fiction is roughly the same length as It Takes Two. From our experience, that puts it comfortably within the 10 to 12 hour range. However, that can easily be pushed to 12 to 15 hours depending on the skill level of both players and your ability to coordinate. Even a pair of veteran gamers who have never played a game as reliant on team work might struggle a bit early on and get slowed down.
