While exploring Apam Woods, you might encounter strange runes beside dull mushrooms. By reviving the mushrooms with Dendro, you'll light up the runes and solve a puzzle that will reward you with a Luxurious Chest. The puzzle is easy, but due to Apam Woods' topography, finding the runes can be a bit of a headache.

The Luxurious Chest puzzle involves finding and lighting up all seven runes in Apam Woods. You can find them in the areas circled in the image above. Keep your eyes peeled as they're quite hard to spot, but they're always located beside Poison Cloud Mushrooms. You can light up the runes in any order—the numbers will help serve as a reference against the full route walkthrough below.

Once you spot a rune, apply Dendro to the Poison Cloud Mushroom in front of it. This will revive the mushroom, which will actively use a Dendro AoE skill that will light up the rune.
