Harper's Chest is located underneath the Scuffed Rock, which can be found inside a small, shallow cove in the Wilderness, just below the cliffs where you meet Astarion after the Nautiloid's crash.

How to Move the Scuffed Rock
Pass a Nature Check with a Difficulty Class of 10
In order to reveal the Scuffed Rock and be able to move it, at least one of your party members must pass a DC 10 for Nature. If you have Shadowheart or a Cleric in your party, make sure to cast Guidance before approaching the Scuffed Rock.
Note: As an added measure, you can quick save right before you approach the Scuffed Rock so that you can quick load if everyone in your party fails the Nature Check.
What is a Difficulty Class (DC)
Lift the Scuffed Rock Upwards by Dragging and Dropping It
After you pass the Nature Check, you can click, drag, and drop the Scuffed Rock towards the back of the cave. Putting it to the side or pulling it towards you will not be possible.
Once lifted, you will find an Ornate Chest that contains some loot.
Characters with High Strength and Athletics Can Move it Easier
Low Strength characters will barely be able to move the rock and you'll need to do multiple tries to drag and drop it to a different location. However, a character that has a higher Str score can move it just a little bit farther which can easily expose the chest behind the Scuffed Rock.

Underneath the Scuffed Rock
