“Garden of Serenity” marks a fresh destination in Honkai: Star Rail, introduced with a major update. Unlike some regions, players here can collect 14 standard chests, two higher-value chests, and a space piggy bank. If any chest eludes you, this guide offers a clear path to finding them all.
Across Honkai: Star Rail’s regions, chests come in various rarities. Regular chests are usually easy to spot, while rarer ones hide behind enemies or puzzles. Opening them yields experience to strengthen characters, star jade, and a variety of materials to fuel progression. Some chests also include piggy banks, quirky creatures whose defeat grants valuable rewards.
How to reach the Garden of Serenity?
The region unlocks through the Fox’s Ghost Story event. If that event isn’t available, players can complete the Mastery follow-up mission titled “A Walk in the Garden and an Interrupted Dream.” This guide outlines how to start, how to finish the task, and how to escape the illusory labyrinth.
Map of the location of all chests in the Garden of Serenity
Be aware that several chests rest on floating islands and are accessible via mirrors. You’ll encounter similar devices as you advance the story. Two valuable chests are guarded by monsters in the area, though their discovery does not count toward the full chest tally.
If a particular chest proves elusive, the detailed locations below will help you find it.
What achievements and rewards can you get if you find all the chests?
During the Fox Ghost Story event, players can earn extra rewards in the Patrol section. It isn’t required to locate every chest or the piggy bank; finding six chests is enough. In that case, you’ll receive the following items:
- Traveler’s guide (4)
- Purified ether (3)
- Lost crystal (4)
Please note these rewards are time-limited, so hurry to claim them. And locating a regular chest on a floating island unlocks the achievement “Through Hardships to the Stars.”
Chest #1 (normal)
Proceed to the western section of the area to a small shed. Directly beneath it sits the first regular chest.
Chest No. 2 (valuable)
From the previous chest, head north along the path. After a rightward turn, two monsters guard a valuable chest. Characters with quantum and ice types will dispatch them more quickly.
Chest #3 (normal)
Continue south along the sole path. A normal chest awaits to the left after a transition.
Space piggy bank
After inspecting the previous chest, move west. At the fork, take the left path toward the abyss. The space piggy bank waits here. Hit it in time before the fight begins; if it skips away, return later to try again.
Unlike its kin, this pig often arrives with a sizable support party. It’s best to damage her first to prevent her from slipping away, then deal with the remaining foes.
Chest #4 (normal)
It sits in the same spot where the piggy bank was found.
Chest no. 5 (luxury)
The next chest is guarded by a strong foe, the Spectral Envoy-Aurumaton, together with the Wraithguard and their minions. To exploit the boss’s vulnerability, use heroes dealing physical, electro, or quantum damage. Freezing the boss is ineffective since she resists that tactic.
Chest #6 (normal)
To locate the next simple chest, bypass or defeat the monsters, activate the spatial anchor, descend the stairs, then look to the right.
Chest #7 (normal)
A small passage to the mirror appears here, activated after finishing the story quest. Enter this area and inspect behind the mirror for a chest.
Chest #8 (normal)
Don’t rush to leave. Approach the mirror, interact, and you’ll land on a tiny island with a single mirror. Enter it, take the first left mirror, and a normal chest materializes in front of you.
Chest #9 (normal)
Upon grabbing the first chest, step into one of the three mirrors and return to the large island. A small rock will appear behind the island, with a transparent path guiding you to it. Follow the path to claim the chest, and you may return via the same mirror.
Remark: Claiming this chest grants the achievement “Through Hardships to the Stars” in the section “Understand the incomprehensible” (5-star jades).
Chest #10 (normal)
Head to the safe zone and approach the canopy. A simple chest waits behind the railing to the right.
Chest #11 (normal)
A second regular chest sits a bit farther along. Cross the bridge and turn right toward the cliff.
Chest #12 (normal)
From there, follow the path, climb the stairs, and the chest waits on the left near the platform.
Chest #13 (normal)
Make your way to the elevator but don’t ride it just yet. Activate the spatial anchor first, then inspect the normal chest.
Chest #14 (normal)
Use the elevator, advance to the stairs, descend, and turn left. A reward awaits on the cliff.
Chest #15 (normal)
Return to the stone slab, head to the lower level, and move from the spatial anchor toward the start. The chest sits to the left of the arch.
Chest #16 (normal)
Pass through the arch and navigate to the dead end where the final reward in this region awaits.
