The chest is located in the , the deepest sub-zone of the Old Forest (accessible from the world map south of the Wayfort). Unlike the confusing, looping paths of the upper forest, the Harrowing Reach is a dark, corrupted glade dominated by a massive webbed canopy. The area is haunted by Corrupted Spiders , Web Mages , and eventually, the optional superboss: The Dread Widow .
The puzzle chest sits in the north-eastern quadrant of the Reach, partially hidden behind a tangle of invulnerable webs. Interacting with it triggers a dialogue sequence: the chest is magically sealed, and four shimmering, colored sigils float above it in a specific order. If you have a high Perception skill (or are simply observant), your character will note that the stone floor around the chest contains lever slots. Further inspection reveals four levers hidden elsewhere in the Harrowing Reach. The puzzle’s only in-game hint comes from examining the chest repeatedly: “The sigils pulse in a rhythm... red, then blue, then green, then yellow.”
