Vault of Glass 6th/7th Chest Speculation and Information
*First Speculation*
Lately my group and I have been venturing back into the Vault of Glass to attempt a discovery of a new chest. Not finding anything a long time ago, we were discouraged by the fact that we believed there wasn't anything left to be found. Then, this comment was found on Youtube... My friend sent this to me but he is unsure of the name of the video and we are now unable to find the comment. Either way, the quote that this person said, is from a Bungie employee. My friend claims to have heard of this "LRI" guy and said that he MIGHT be one of the raid designers. He does assure to me that he does work for Bungie, though. The quote/picture proof is in the link below.

On to the speculation. The quote makes mention of the chest to have "lied between future and past, but not present." As we know, the only time in between the future and past IS present. This must mean it represents something physical. We have considered this to meaning something about the portal in between the jump puzzle and atheon's room, but then my attention turned elsewhere... Whilst activating the gates to summon Atheon, I remembered how the "past" portal is on the left and the "future" portal is on the right. Then I looked in between them... That little island used for killing Atheon many times over. It COULD be considered a large pedestal. It's the only thing in between "past and future." Could this possibly be where the chest could spawn? Maybe both portals must be kept open for the entirety of the boss fight? Could it have been under our noses (literally) all along? Unfortunately after killing Atheon, we were killing instantly due to being lost in time, even though he died. We were unable to look around by even going back into the portals to look around again.
It gets better. We automatically assume that Atheon must be defeated to retrieve this chest because the quote also says "Time is broken, but it can be fixed, for people have mended it before and left without questioning, what changed." We assumed that killing Atheon will "fix" time which is why we believe something happens on that middle island block AFTER the fight.
Something that really assures this for me is that it says "for people have mended it before and left without questioning, what changed." This could mean that MANY of us have completed the VOG, but didn't look around enough to see what changed. This quote almost seems to assure that something happens AFTER the fight.
What do you guys think? Do you have hope for there to be a chest here? What are your thoughts? What else have you heard?
Here's to hoping that some people still care for the Vault of Glass. Please share what you think and spread the post so that others can see our ideas. I look forward to reading any responses!
Edit1: I also realize that the commenter says that the quote is about that "secret cave" in the jump puzzle area. The employee DID NOT say anything about that cave. He only made mention of the past and future deal. Though if it is, then maybe there must be a way to return there AFTER the atheon kill?
Edit2: Made it to Trending! :D Hearing some great ideas and suggestions
Edit3: If you want to explore sometime, I play on the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One.
*Second Speculation*
Most of us have seen that tiny hole in the side of the jump puzzle room right? If you have then I'm sure we have all thought the same thing... chest? Well I am not sure whether this was Photoshopped or is legit but my friend found a picture of a chest sitting on a little rock. Could this rock be the "pedestal" mentioned in the quote? Maybe something must be triggered to summon the chest here? Maybe there are actually two missing chests? Picture link below.

Copied From My Raid Friend: http://lzygmrs.com/destiny/vault-of-glass-includes-sixth-secret-chest/6857/
"Proof of the 6th/7th chest during the Dads of Destiny tag along live stream last week. It was confirmed by Lead World Artist: Rob Adams, and Senior Raid Designer: Gavin Irby"
And yes I know he said he misheard the question, but it was pretty straight forward. It could be just as easy that Bungie didn't actually want us to know 100%. Plus, he didn't say there wasn't anything else. There is still hope. If that Christmas post is true, then that might be some kind of proof.

This is going to sound insanely stupid but I think the chest Is in the bump on the left of the center island at atheon. I think if you stand on the past activator with the mythoclast and the future activator with pocket infinity and shoot it at the same time it blows open revealing the chest.

2 RepliesI believe there is no more chests until someone posts a vid of them finding it

1 ReplyYou guys are thinking too damn hard. Bungie probably just hid it really well.
-
Ever noticed how there's other portals around Venus that aren't normally working and how you are free to roam all of Venus before you open the vault?
-
Myabe, when atheon is frozen, u need to go bavk out the door and go up to that pedistal by the jumping area where that vex portal that has no power is at
-
You sir have peaked my interest for the love of God WHERE IS THIS CHEST?!?!!!??
-
Maybe the chest has something to do with the Templar because how would Kabr's group break his shield without the aegis? I believe there is another way to break his shield.

Bump!

I've always been interested in the fact that the countdown timer to return to orbit doesn't start for so long after the Atheon (and Crota) are killed. Everyone assumed it was a bug that made the timer not start, but it does start, eventually. I've always had a feeling that there was something else to discover after the boss was killed, before the countdown begins.

2 RepliesAnyone know the little ravine before you go down and defend confluxes? I can't really describe cause it'll take too long but I'll try. Before you jump down, turn around and look slightly to the left. There should be a big column you can jump on. From there, on the side of the cliff, there should be another block you can jump on to. If you look up there should seem to be an area on the top. I you manage to get up there and go through the back corridor, you should see a huge drop off and a ravine. Me and a friend explored just a little but idk if it's just another one of those areas in the map that's accessible but has no meaning.

I want to get this figured out. Drewx991 is my GT any time you are online and want to explore, send me a request!

1 ReplyAfter you kill the gatekeeper some keep the back door open throughout the atheon fight once he is dead check the broken portal and the little cave at the bottom of the huge pillars
-
2 RepliesThe chests will only contain shards.

Not sure if I gone crazy but almost everytime I go into mars portal I notice a couple thing. One is the fact that the middle platform is gone and there a weird bridge off in the distant that can be accessible via melee with shield. In Venus portal I notice that the middle platform is complete and that there is light above the cave (could mean light). I also learn that the atheon area is associated with atheon (Just like how crotas area is crotas face when look down at it: I discovered that) but only different is atheon area is not a face or arm but rather it name. The area is in a shape of an A.

4 RepliesHonestly why don't you stop speculating and just look through the coding? It must be in there somewhere if it truly exists
-
I Dvr'ed it......
-
1 ReplyNo, just 6 331 gjallarhorns at max and you can keep killing them.... lol
-
1 ReplyHow about right after defending conflux in the middle someone goes out the door before it ends and stays there for the entire battle. There is a chance of not being teleported. It has happened to me.
-
1 ReplyI am convinced that it has something to do with the area where you play the "Eye of a Gatelord" mission. If you go right at the very beginning of the raid to it you will see level 30 enemies. If you keep following the lasers in the sky to the gatelord spawning platform you have that giant portal. The lasers can maybe be turned to hit the spot next to the portal and activate it. Classic laser puzzle. Maybe through that portal is where we can find the chest. Or maybe the portal in the jumping puzzle leads there later on and the chest will be outside of the Vault.

1 ReplySpeculation: There is no sixth and seventh chest!!!!!!!

2 RepliesEdited by DIVINE SE7EN: 2/24/2015 12:10:40 AMI will be running an expedition tonight into the Vog, request me gt as above. Xbox 360 and One

wonder if they meant "real time", as in "past" was when the game was released, maybe for a few weeks or a month, then "present" meant sometime around the time of the quote, then "future" meant sometime after the quote it would be available again.
-
4 RepliesHey don't know if this means anything but I was reading the grimoir on the vex and stumbled upon the precursor vex (the past) and the vex descendants (future) I don't know about you but I have yet to see these distinctive descendant vex which would mean we are in the future, the card also starts to say something like "survivors of the vault of glass" where the precursor card mentions "guardians who have delve deep into the vault of glass. Could we be missing something after we survived the vault? Maybe somehow we can make it to the future?

Edited by mudder_runner86 : 2/23/2015 8:56:50 PMHas anyone physically examined the middle platform after atheon dies? More specifically the area below it? Something might open up or a platform may appear. From what I've read and watched people are looking at the walls and ceiling looking you for holes/caves. Has anyone really checked out the floor or the area over the ledges?
-
My gt is RunnersShade17 on Xbox 360 extremely interested please send FR?
-
Or can the thing holding the 5th chest be considered a pedestal?
