Updated on July 12, 2025, by Mehrdad Khayyat:This guide has been updated to include the locations of the fourth hidden chest in the Starcrossed mission.
Chest 1: Beginning Of The Mission
The first chest is located in thevery first area that you spawn in, where you use trees and flowers to traverse. So, as you can guess, you don’t even need to kill a single enemy to loot this one. Once you spawn, look to the left and follow the tree until you see a closed flower in the front.
Shoot at the flower to make it open and then jump on it. Now, look to the left and up, where you can spot a cliff. Jump on the cliff and continue forward by making consecutive jumps as shown in the images below.
Once you are on the leaf next to the wall, turn right and jump onto the next tree. Here, you will need to move forward and reach the closest tree to the next closed flower. You will basically jump down and down. Once you are close enough to the flower in the front,turn back, and you will spot another closed flower. On the right side of it, there is a tree branch. Jump on it, and then turn right, where you’re able to see a cave entrance.
Go inside the cave and check the corner on the right, where you’re able to find and loot the first secret chest.
Chest 2: Outside The Initial Cave
You will find the second chest right after youexit the initial caveand see the daylight. So, as soon as you step out of the cave, you will be three ways ahead. Follow thepath on your leftthat leads you to a waterfall through a small and narrow cave.
You need to head inside the waterfall, but before that, check your left side, where you can spotthe orange buff. Get the buff and thenjump inside the waterfall. You can now spot the entrance to anorange areaon your right. Get inside and reach the end of this cave to find and loot the second chest.
Without the orange buff, you will gradually lose health inside the orange area, and you might not be able to loot the chest successfully.

Chest 3: After First Encounter
To loot the third chest, you need tofinish the first encounterwhere you should defeat three Phalanx in a specific order. Once you kill them all and open up the path, follow the cave until you reachan open area with an orange buff in the middle. Since you need to defeat a Phalanx to loot this chest, we suggest you fill in your Super.
Get the orange buff and thenlook at the corner on the left sideof the original path that leads you to the next platforming area. If you follow this corner, you will find aWhite buff,and then you can enter anew orange area. Follow the orange area straight andturn left at the end, where there is a small staircase. Here, you will spot a Phalanx that you must kill to loot the chest. Using your Super or a Power Slot weapon, you can easily get rid of him. Once dead,reach the end of the corridor behind the Phalanx, and you will find the third chest.
Chest 4: After Second Encounter
Once you complete the second encounter and pass through theTransit Mechanism, you will need to survive aplatforming cavewith pushing traps. As soon as you complete this part, a set of stairs will lead you to anopen areawhere you’re able to see thedaylightagain. Before doing anything, make sure to kill the Vex roaming around the area.
You will have two different paths here: First, you shouldfollow the path on the rightand get theorange buff. Now, return to the same open area again, andturn left this time. Head upstairs, and turn left once more, where you’re able to seered roses on the walland a narrow catwalk that leads you inside an orange room, where you can loot thefourth chest.
