Precious and Luxurious chests in White Birch Snowgrave are worth chasing for one specific reason. They can drop the Remnant Incense Guide – Snowgrave, and you need three of them to unseal the Shadow Realm Treasure Vault. The drops are random, so the goal is simple. Open as many high-rarity chests in the region as you can find.
Quick answer: Open Precious and Luxurious chests across Pilgrimage to the Sacred Gorge and Pale Crown Palace until you collect three Remnant Incense Guide – Snowgrave, then travel northeast of the White Birch Snowgrave Statue of the Seven to unseal the Shadow Realm Treasure Vault.
What the Remnant Incense unlocks
The Remnant Incense Guide – Snowgrave is not placed at a fixed spot on the map. It has a random chance of appearing inside Precious and Luxurious chests, the same way the two earlier Remnant Incense items worked. Because of that, luck decides how many chests you need to crack open before all three appear.
Once you hold three, they let you break the seal on the Shadow Realm Treasure Vault at Snowgrave. Focus on the Precious and Luxurious chests below first, since those are the only tiers that can hand you the incense.
Chests in Pilgrimage to the Sacred Gorge
You will pass through this route on the way into White Birch Snowgrave during the On One Side a Palace, On the Other a Tomb quest. Three high-rarity chests are grouped here.
Chests in Pale Crown Palace
The palace is split across several floors, and most of its chests are tied to progress through the On One Side a Palace, On the Other a Tomb quest. Work through the floors in order and you will collect the bulk of the region’s high-rarity chests here.
Where the Hidden Door Was Knocked
On this floor you can claim two Precious chests and one Luxurious chest while playing through the quest. They open up as you advance the story on this level.
Pale Crown Palace fountain
After the quest transports you to Pale Crown Palace, follow the path until you reach a fountain. A Precious chest here is sealed by three Cryo monuments.
Hall of the Tsar’s Palace
This is the same route you take during The Stone Beasts, Like Ghouls Seated quest. Instead of turning left toward the statue room, go right to find the Prime Ice blockade.
Hanging Corridors
Once, the Court of Bliss
Teleport to the Once, The Court of Bliss floor. This one hides a Precious chest behind a short challenge.

Open the Snowgrave Shadow Realm Treasure Vault
The Shadow Realm Treasure Vault sits northeast of the White Birch Snowgrave Statue of the Seven. It stays sealed until you are holding all three Remnant Incense Guide – Snowgrave.
Fast travel to the Statue of the Seven and walk northeast to the vault. With three incense in your inventory, interact with it to break the seal and claim the reward. If it still will not open, you are missing at least one incense, so return to any Precious and Luxurious chests you have not opened and keep going until the third one drops.
