What Should You Do with the Chest of the Mundane in Baldur’s Gate 3?
To locate the Chest of the Mundane in Act 1, head to the Arcane Tower in Underdark. On the main entrance level, you’ll come across the Chest of the Mundane.

When you access the Chest of the Mundane, the items you discover may appear useless, such as a spoon, metal fork, and cup. But once you add them to your inventory, they will become valuable loot. Alternatively, bringing a sutur flower to the Chest of the Mundane will create an anti-magic field. The items will show in the chest as they are. I think this is the intended mechanic for it.
