Destiny Forums: the 7th chest!
[quote]How to unlock the 7th chest:
(1st step, learn how to unlock chests 1-6. )
Begin the raid, do not allow any of the vex pads to be taken down while opening the raid gate. Enter the raid but proceed [b]no further[/b] than the first chest. The 7th chest requires all players to take the secret pathways inside of the raid, they are there for a reason, and what most people find to be a complete waste of time is an underlying reason for most peoples failures in this subject. To the edge near the [b]Chest1[/b] you may look down and see white "nothingness" however, from a trained eye you can tell there is a reason for the change in color and the look of the walls, if you walk from [b]chest1[/b] to the closest ledge and almost off of it then turn back and look at [b]chest1[/b] , you can then drop off backwards , facing [b]chest1[/b]. Immediately after you lose sight of the chest and you've fallen about your own bodies length, then press jump and push forward in the direction you've been facing. You will land in a secret corridor if done properly. [b]Every member of a six person fire team must follow this path![/b] beware though, you can not lose throughout the entire Templar arena to unlock the 6th and 7th chest. This includes that you must not only prevent the Templar from teleporting, but you must battle the waves of oracles and defend the three confluxes seamlessly. Is it possible, absolutely it is, with a mature team that has their head on straight, it certainly can be attained , and with ease if properly tuned... Even more so on the normal difficulty. I will not go into detail on the Templar boss battle, as if you are searching for chest 5-7 you should be adept ATLEAST.
[b]So Far We Have...[/b]
1.opened the VOG raid door without losing any of the three vex pads from the start.
2. Located and successfully ventured through the first secret tunnel located, just underneath the first chest.
3.No one has died yet(if you are on hard difficulty) otherwise on normal difficulty you have to bring every teammate through the entire raid and cannot have all six people die at any one time. Now.. You have to complete the Templar battle without having him teleport. Still at no point can all six people die, this goes for the entire raid. One or two or even five are okay to be dead, as long as everyone can be revived.
4. After seamlessly defeating the Templars arena you must not take the path straight ahead, you must locate the second secret path on the left flank of the Templar arena. It's a small black hole located just above head height. Don't be too hasty on opening the chest located inside as it is chest 2 and it is the [b]only chest to be known to prevent other chests from spawning[/b]! Be warned. To the left of the chest there's a hole that when crouched in can be crawled through, it will suddenly drop off into a secret cave. Inside this cave there is a secret location of the third chest. It is pretty well hidden, and I will tell you , it is located towards the end of the second secret tunnel but once you've passed a certain point you cannot get back up to this chest so I advice you figure out the location yourself or make sure someone you are raiding with knows. Just after the point if no return to chest three, chest four is located. It is a very neat chest, it is to be believed that this chest can give rewards to one character twice. I have confirmed this as well to be true. Once on normal difficulty you can receive anything from ascendants to exotics. Same with once on hard difficulty as well.
5.after locating chest number four you can proceed only one way, you must follow the right wall until you find a drop off with a small stream at the bottom. This is the way you must take out of the cave! Not your normal route. After all 6 players have jumped down, you find yourself outside of the gorgons maze and just shy of the fifth chest. With a good member on your team you can stay tight(close) to that person and without running or double jumping follow that person through the miniature gorgon maze to the 5th chest. You can't get soft now, one mistake voids all previous work going to orbit does not reset mistakes like all six members of the fire team dying or, getting caught by a gorgon. I cannot stress enough that having everyone leave except the party leader and have just him go through the maze and then everyone rejoining will destroy all the work you've done , it will suck especially seeing as how just after the actual gorgon maze you receive another chest.
6. Bring the entire team through the gorgon maze , without being caught. Go to the cave located to left after you proceed through tunnels below the gorgon maze and come to a large opening. The cave is located just above eye level on the left rock face. Proceed through the entire tunnel, on your left you see a broken down vex gate, this will come In very handy for the 7th chest later on. However, if you've done everything correctly so far.. You can locate the sixth chest. So standing at the edge of this hole in the wall , to your left a vex gate of in the distance and what appears to be a series of ledges and small corridors all along the wall on the right. These ledges are what will be one possible way to maneuver your way all the way down to the ledge straight down from where you are standing. You can also just drop!... Then jet pack or jump just before you hit the ground, preventing all damage. Located above head level is a hole on the stone wall lit up ever so slightly by crystals inside the hole. (This part can be done by all classes no matter what. Make your way up to a high enough point and look out in the direction of the vex gate, if you made it to the proper point you will be eye level with a platform that appears and disappears. Wait until you are comfortable enough, and when you feel you've timed it right take the jump and keep on jumping immediately to the next platform, one after another until you reach the gate of Atheon.
7. One player stay outside of the door before Atheon to keep it open. Complete the gate lord with all players alive. Before killing Atheon the door should be open, everyone should go out of the door, one person uses the appearing platforms to get to the vex plate. Creating a platform for everyone to ride on and tke them up to the 7th chest located at the tip of the what looks like a man made structure near the vex gate. So you will have to take turns for the final person to get number seven. Now go finish Atheon and enjoy the rewards.
God I'm sick of typing on this iPhone.
