I am having trouble with this quest. I don't know if I have the chest in my inventory or not. I have been to the Barren Forest (Not the southern, eastern or western Barren Forests) and I did see a tree with a hole in it a few steps west of the bridge leading into the forest, but when I click on the tree, it says the hole is collapsed and I can't enter it.
So where is the chest? I know it's supposed to be a golden one. Help here would be appreciated.
