How to Snag Every Chest in Honkai: Star Rail’s The Reverie (Reality)

The Reverie (Reality) was a breath of fresh air when Penacony first opened its doors back in Version 2.0. Even now in 2026, it remains one of those iconic spots where new Trailblazers still scratch their heads looking for missing chests. With 16 chests scattered across three floors, this hotel lobby area is far from a walk in the park—especially when a few of those treasures are locked behind progression-gated quests. If you’re ready to mop up every last Stellar Jade and leave no stone unturned, this guide has you covered.

HoYoverse went all out with symmetry and hidden corners here, so keeping your eyes peeled is the name of the game. Let’s break it down floor by floor so you can knock this collection out of the park.

🏨 Floor One – The Lobby Lowdown

The ground floor is the easiest to clear, but don’t get too comfy—some chests like to play hide-and-seek around elevators and side paths. You’ll want to start from the bottom teleport waypoint for the smoothest route.

Chest	How To Bag It
1	From the bottom teleporter, head right without touching any stairs. The chest is sitting pretty in plain sight.
2	Go the opposite direction of the first chest on the same level. It’s a mirror-image find—symmetry at its finest.
3	Walk straight toward the main reception from the teleporter, then take the right-side path. You’ll spot it near the elevator.
4	This one is on the flip side: go left from the reception and you’ll find it beside the second elevator. Easy peasy.

Once you’ve cleared these four, it’s time to hitch a ride up. Snag an elevator—any elevator—to reach the second floor.

🛗 Floor Two – Hallways and Hidden Nooks

Floor two is more about exploration than tricks. You’ll be weaving through hallways, ducking past plant decorations, and poking your nose into every corner of the main hotel entrance.

Chest	How To Bag It
1	After taking the elevator on the reception’s left side, turn around. The chest is lurking right behind you as you step out. No need to wander far.
2	Follow the hallway until you see a plant structure in the middle. The chest is snuggled up beside it like it’s trying to blend in.
3	Keep following the path toward the main entrance. You’ll literally stumble over this one right in front of the doors.
4	Before entering the hotel, circle around to the other side of the lobby. Patience pays off—this chest is just a short stroll further along the outer walkway.
5	Now head inside through the main entrance. As soon as you walk in, look behind the couch on your left. That sneaky chest is practically waving at you.
6	The final floor-two chest is in the opposite corner from chest five, to the right of the staircase leading up. Don’t leave without it.

By the time you’re done with floor two, you might be feeling like a seasoned treasure hunter. But here’s where things get real—floor three is a whole different kettle of fish.

🔐 Floor Three – The Locked Room Puzzle

The top floor is where many completionists hit a wall. Not because the chests are hard to find, but because three of them are locked behind specific quests. You’ll need to blaze through some story beats before you can waltz into those rooms. Patience, young Trailblazer.

Chest	How To Bag It
1	Climb the big staircase to the third floor, then take the small path on the right leading to a seating area. The chest is waiting there with open arms.
2	Symmetry strikes again—grab the chest on the corresponding small path on the left side of the staircase. Mirror match complete.
3	Head into the hallway with guest rooms and march all the way to the end. The chest is tucked against the right wall. No locked doors required.
4	Locked Room #1: Accessible only during the Cosmic Star quest. Keep pushing that story and you’ll eventually unlock the door to claim this prize.
5	Locked Room #2: This one requires The Trees At Peace quest. Embark on it, and the room will open up like a blooming flower.
6	Navigate to the opposite end of the guest-room hallway. It’s out in the open, so you can snag it right away—no fuss.

Pro tip: The room right next to the Trailblazer’s quarters remains stubbornly locked even after all other quests. As of now, that door just won’t budge, so don’t pull your hair out over it—there’s no chest hiding there (for now).

🎯 Wrapping Up Your Penacony Plunder

Once you’ve ticked off all 16 chests in The Reverie (Reality), your map will finally look as squeaky clean as a polished hotel floor. This zone is a masterclass in HoYoverse’s level design: straightforward at first glance but hiding just enough challenge to keep you on your toes. Whether you’re a day-one player tying up loose ends or a new arrival swept up in the dreamlike chaos of Penacony, mopping up these chests is a rock-solid way to pad your Stellar Jade stash.

So grab your favorite team, queue your exploration playlist, and get out there. Those chests aren’t going to open themselves—but with this guide, you’ll be slamming them shut in no time. Happy hunting, Trailblazers!
