The solution to the under a pile of bone in a sunlit place riddle for the Treasure Hunt event is a bone chunk in the Sunlit Plateau biome. These pesky obstacles only pop up in this area, so it’s crucial you make sure you’re in the right spot before you start working on this quest.

Bone chunks appear as light tan clumps, both big and small, piking up out of the ground. They blend in with the environment quite well, especially if you have lots of decorations placed around this area, so be sure to scour the entire region carefully.

Although you might be tempted to reach for your Royal Pickaxe to eliminate this obstacle, you must use your Royal Shovel instead. Bones can only be removed using this special Royal Tool, so equip it and get to work cleaning up the area. Most bone chunks will drop regular Clay as a resource you need for crafting, but one will have a hidden chest you can unlock.

The treasure chest hidden in a bone around this biome may drop from any bone that’s there, so you need to continuously break them until you manage to find it. It can spawn from small or big bone chunks, too, so get rid of all of them. You might get lucky and find it upon breaking the first one, or it may instead take you several tries to unearth it.

There’s plenty more to get done in this event after you’ve completed this task. More tricky clues and solutions need to be solved, like beneath coral growth with a dazzling view, don’t forget to put out the fires, and somewhere peaceful pickaxe meets rock. You also need to finish the Expert Treasure Hunter duty if you’re hoping to earn all event prizes, so get to work tackling this one, too.
