Alright, fellow Trailblazers, listen up! As a seasoned gamer who's spent way too much time in Penacony's glitzy Golden Hour, I'm here to give you the lowdown on finding every last scrap of loot in this 1920s-style dreamscape. Seriously, this place is more packed with goodies than a Black Friday sale at a Belobog department store. The best part? No pesky enemies to ruin your shopping—I mean, treasure-hunting—spree. Just you, the mesmerizing neon lights, and the occasional, utterly harmless walking billboard that seems to have a personal vendetta against your personal space. Talk about aggressive advertising! So, grab your map, put on your best explorer's hat (a fedora, perhaps?), and let's get this treasure party started. It's showtime!
Golden Hour Chests: The Main Event 🎁
First things first, the surface level of Golden Hour is where the party's at. We're talking nearly 20 chests just waiting to be discovered. My pro-tip? These chests are sneaky little buggers. They love hiding in corners, crevices, and behind larger objects. You gotta have the eyes of a hawk, or at least the determination of someone who really needs those Stellar Jades. I've compiled the ultimate cheat sheet for you. Check it out, and remember, a picture is worth a thousand words (or at least one treasure chest location).
| Chest # | Visual Clue | Where in the World is it? |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  |
Head left from the Hotel lobby. It's chillin' on a balcony with a great view of the street. Perfect for people-watching while you loot. |
| 2 |  |
On a sunken bit of ground across from the first Hanu’s Adventure spot on the lower left map. Easy to miss if you're not looking down! |
| 3 |  |
Street corner on the lower left. It's basically across the street from the Family Merchant food truck. Maybe grab a snack after? |
| 4 |  |
Speaking of which, this one is behind that very same Family Merchant food truck. Shh, don't tell the chef. |
| 5 |  |
To the right of the smaller, floating gramophone display. For the gramophone enthusiast who has everything... except this chest. |
| 6 |  |
On a balcony to the left of the giant, floating gramophone. That thing is huge, you can't miss it. The chest is more subtle. |
| 7 |  |
To the right of the Amusement Facility, tucked away behind a bar. Probably left by a patron who had one too many. |
| 8 |  |
Another balcony treasure, this time overlooking the road on the top left. The views here are chef's kiss. |
| 9 |  |
Behind a different food truck on the top left. Penacony's street food scene is truly a treasure hunter's best friend. |
| 10 |  |
Right next to two Pinball Bubble Machines near the map's center. Try not to get distracted and play a game! |
| 11 |  |
To the right of the Reverie Hotel Entrance Space Anchor. A classic "right next to the fast travel point" chest. My favorite kind. |
| 12 |  |
Hiding behind the fabulous rainbow rocket sign. Follow the rainbow to find the pot of... well, a chest. |
| 13 |  |
In the corner of the circular garden on the lower right. Very serene spot for some looting. |
| 14 |  |
Right on the edge of the map on the right side. Don't fall off! |
| 15 |  |
Squeezed between two pillars behind a dancing advertisement. That ad is really putting in the work to hide this one. |
| 16 |  |
On another street-view balcony. This one is super close to chest 15, so it's a two-for-one special! |
| 17 |  |
In the circular garden on the top right. More garden loot! |
| 18 |  |
Right next to the staircase leading up to the top right area. It's like a reward for taking the stairs. |
| 19 |  |
The final surface chest! On a balcony overlooking the street near the very top of the map. A grand finale. |
Going Underground: The Subterranean Surprise 🕳️
Think you're done? Think again, amigo! Golden Hour has a sneaky underground level. You can get down there by heading down various staircases and onto lowered walkways. Don't forget to check the tunnel on the right side of the map! Here's the scoop on the hidden five.
-
Chest 20: On the right lowered walkway in the center of the map, chilling between a blue tunnel and some stairs. It's just... waiting.
-
Chest 21: Playing hard to get on the left lowered walkway under a footbridge, directly opposite Chest 20. It's a symmetrical kind of deal.
-
Chest 22: Across from the Space Anchor in Clockie Plaza. Couldn't be easier if it tried.
-
Chest 23: In the underground tunnel across from the Dreammerse Shopping Street Space Anchor. More tunnel treasures!
-
Chest 24: In front of a dress shop in the underground mall. Maybe it's a chest full of the latest Penacony fashions? One can dream.
Hanu's Adventures: It's Morphin' Time! 🎬
Now for the really fun part. Scattered around are these old-timey TVs. Walk up to one and it'll say "It's Morphin' Time! Hanu!" Interact, and boom—you're a cartoon! These challenges are marked on your map by adorable little yellow fedora icons. There are two sets, each with its own chests.
Adventure One: West of the Shopping Street
This is the big one. You'll find four chests here. Let's break it down.
-
Chest 25: Right near the start, hiding in a closet. Not very creative, Hanu.
-
Chest 26: On the other side of a fence. Use your fancy cartoon teleporter ability to zip right over. Easy peasy.
-
Chest 27: This one's a classic. Floating in the air at the end of the second hall. Just jump for it!
-
Chest 28: The sneakiest one. It's up in the rafters. To get it, use the teleporter that's directly across from the TV you entered from. Look up!
Adventure Two: The Puzzle Master
This one's in the lower left corner of the map and only has a single chest, but you gotta work for it.
- Chest 29: The prize for completing the jigsaw puzzle in this area. No guides here, figure it out! It's satisfying, I promise.
The Lordly Trashcans: A Star Rail Tradition 🗑️👑
And now, for my favorite part of any Star Rail exploration: the sentient trash. I'm not even kidding. The Lordly Trashcans are back, and they're as sassy and needy as ever. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find them and shower them with compliments until they cough up some loot. It's a weirdly wholesome ritual at this point. There are two in Golden Hour.
-
Trashcan 1: Hanging out right next to the second Hanu's Adventure location. It's probably watching the cartoon chaos and judging.
-
Trashcan 2: Near a woman taking a selfie on the top right side of the map. Maybe it wants to be in the photo? Tell it it's beautiful.
And there you have it, folks! Your comprehensive, 2026-updated guide to cleaning out Golden Hour. From balconies to basements, from cartoon worlds to philosophical garbage bins, this place has it all. Now get out there and grab that loot! Happy hunting, Trailblazers! 🚀
