Ghost in a Chest
This short forum is about gold chests, key chests, and finding dead ghosts. To save time a lot of Youtube vids will be posted here.
Gold chests differ from normal chests as they have set loot. They are also limited to five, currently, to each planet/moon.
Earth → 5 total
Moon → 5 total
Venus → 5 total
Mars → 5 total
Dreadnaught → no gold, but several key chests
This set loot is based off of the time/level you should of found these. A max level toon will not benefit as much from these chest as a level 3-15. Two items a max level will get out of finding these now: (1) Strange Coin and (1) class specific sparrow. You get the coin on Mars and the sparrow from Earth.
Below is the video from Youtube that is very well done. If starting a new toon this would be good to watch so your toon can benefit from these chests. The creator uses missions to go and find these chests and his logic makes sense by using quest markers, but I will note that all, but maybe one or two can be found on patrols.
One would be the last chest on the moon. You will have to do the strike to get into boss room, as this is the only time it opens. But it is quick and painless, 15minutes with a good team.
On Mars one chest is located in the subway area. The mission takes you right to it, but if you are like me and patrol for it, it will take some time. One silver lining to this is I had the Vex ultra and champion bounty the day I went looking for this chest and the outer court of the subway has five of these guys and spawn rates are high. Not to also mention the Taken were attacking and I was able to fulfill that bounty as well.

Edited by chucklenoris: 2/10/2016 2:05:02 PMTopic: Dead Ghost (Update) Location: Most Originally there was rumor that only 70-80 dead ghosts were in game. Having 82 now, I have decided to do some research. Disclaimer here is that this number and my current research will always be changing as Bungie updates the game, adds content, and updates the Grimoire. Using the Grimoire I have found out the current number of dead ghosts 1/22/16 is → 101. Ghost grimoire is noted by the Ghost symbol on a grimoire card. My current number is 82, so I have a bit to go and by time I'm close I'm sure another update will show up, adding more. In a lore based mindset, it makes sense right now in game, because ghosts and others are trying to find information on our lost past. Reading your Grimoire will give you the lore based story you are looking for, all the while giving you something to strive for. A few things to take from this update. First there is one ghost that is exclusive to PSN. This ghost is found in a PSN only strike, I believe the Echo Chamber?, but my first post on dead ghost has this in the video about the 17 new TTK locations. SO for us Xbox kids, we won't be getting this. Second is a interlinked theory of two thoughts. My theory is that Bungie has assigned all the "ghost" grimoire cards, they just haven't placed them all yet and slowly do with patches and expansions. Also as they do add and update content, they add more to the grimoire. I feel that both of these are true. My last part of this theory to back this up, is that I noticed on me Osiris Grimoire I only saw three cards. Two of these "Vision 81 and 47" Once I found 81, a third card unlocked and is a Ghost card. So as you find ghost cards, there is a chance that more ghost cards will show up, adding to my theory of Bungie setting the amount of ghost cards that can be found. This could also unlock the dead ghost spot. Maybe it isn't there on a ledge as you pass, then one day you collect a sister card, that unlocks it in grimoire and in game. Which also goes along with the progressive story/lore lines Bungie has created off game. Below is another ghost update. I will also state this for everyone. Nearly 90% of all ghosts do not require you to be in a quest or strike. I have found all of mine on patrol, minus the ones that do require a strike or parts of a quest that are locked on patrol. One example of quest required ghost, the mission "The Coming War". You are on Phobos, moon of Mars, and the quest is required to get these ghosts, because there is no patrol. One example of a Strike required ghost, which is also in the video below, is the "The Summoning Pits". There is one in the boss room, and on patrol you can only make it to the door to the pits, as it is closed. Also note that a golden chest is in the boss room. Now using a quest helps steer you in the right direction, but for those who patrol like me and know most of the area, you can just pick up as you walk along. Example of a patrol based find, verse having to use a strike or quest, which this is also in the video below, is finding Ghosts in "The shrine of Oryx". The entire area to the shrine is completely open in patrol. Simply make your way in and begin hunting. Again though, I will not bash the quest or strike, they help point you in the right direction if you get lost on patrols. If for some reason as I find these ghosts and come across ones that are not available in patrol I will note them in this forum. But the way Bungie formats the patrol, quests, and strikes is all the same environment. As usual I will post updates and corrections as I find stuff out. Patch 2.1 update video (New ghosts on back end) [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKClNkcvVDM&index=54&list=PLaaUtW5k8Du6Dhqz1Qtf69dRtC2L-RLwA[/url] EDIT 2/10/15 So found out a few things, looks like Xbox will get the Echo Chamber, just not for a long time. But there is a way to glitch into it. It takes one person to get there and two to get in and collect. See video below. I will be testing this soon to see if it still works.
