I have seen a lot of talk about the possible location of the seventh hidden chest in the raid. We know that 4 are fixed and are able to get no matter the outcome of each stage through the vault. I have also heard, but not seen that the 5th chest appears in a path just under the 1st chest if a condition is met. That condition I heard was to make sure that none of the Sync Plates from the beginning to be taken back over while the spire is building. The 6th chest appears going down to Gorgon's Maze through the secret cave in the Templar's Room, and it only appears if you keep the Templar from teleporting during the battle with him. Now people have found what they believe could be the spot where the 7th chest might pop up, if the conditions are met. But, at this moment I have not read anywhere of anyone finding this last chest.
I believe that there are 4 parts to this Raid with the hidden chest appearing between each part:
Part #1 - The Sync Plates to raise the Spire
If you meet the right condition a chest appears on the way to the Templar
Part #2 - The Templar
If you meet the right condition a chest appears on the way to Gorgon's Maze
Part #3 - Gorgon's Maze
Everyone has avoided all the Gorgons, or killed 1 and possibly 2, but I have not heard of anyone killing them all. We know that they get harder to kill after each one, making it a challenging task to kill them all, which could warrant a prize if you are able to do (possibly another chest). People have suggested that the spot that they found where a 7th chest could be at is in the canyon after Gorgon's Maze. Hence why I dividend the Raid into 4 parts each dividend by a hidden Chest
Part #4 - Atheon
Mystery of the stopped clock at the end that is not a glitched or Bungie would have fixed it in one of their updates. Their could possibly be something in this room that has not been found yet.
Please correct me if I am wrong on any of this. I based off this on things that I have seen or heard about from people playing the raid. Add to this if you have any information that can help narrow this search. I heard that Bungie has announced that not everything in the VOG has been found.

This may help... I cant make up or down of it. Let me know if you figure it out. Diligence will pay off and you will be rewarded by the Crystal... Nearby. The lights are warm... aren't they? Possible Gorgon Area ---- You have a vision, a vision to see the impossible and hear the impossible. Time is running out where time diverges. Tick Tock Tick Tock Do you hear it? Its soothing and has a ambient feeling, its like his light.. but of a different source Tick... Tick... If you have a Vision you will see the source, and the ticking. Oracle Sequence --- Here is some info regarding the gorgons. There are 8 gorgons in total. After 5 are killed they all become immune unless you find the correct one to kill, this triggers the last 2 to become vulnerable. What comes after I will not tell... not yet. Another thing to look out for is an alcove, as for that... Just look for the light. Gorgon Area Don't you just love chimes? Oracles? There is NO extra chest inside the Gorgons Maze but lets say... Nearby. You can take a relic back up to the Maze but it doesn't prevent the Gaze. There is something of value else where... Gorgon Area / Jumping Platforms The lights do look pretty, don't they? Unknown? The Warp Gate on the outside is linked to another portal not in the past or future... there is also a certain Crystal nearby the Gorgons area that holds a special something but then again... it's not. You must stay flawless and find the right paths, the alternates might help you there. At the pillar just look for the apex by the most distant platform... you will find. Jumping Platforms / Gorgon Area Another hint would be: Why do they put stats in? Are they to keep track of something? Even Atheon has a few secrets he isn't going to give up easily. Atheon All in all just look in the right place at the right time, kill what you don't need to kill, do it flawless and you will be well rewarded. Gorgon Area? --- You have a note, a cord to her Hymn. Will you... dance with her? This one is smart but will you dance with her? Do you have the vision to take the correct steps. If you do, some may foil or come back to seek vengeance, others can be found to help holdfast but will they break against to shores of time? If you do not dance she will take revenge upon you, make you skip across time. Oracle Sequence --- She becomes harder to dance with... she takes no brakes on her last. Find the specific cord to match they Hymn but only this cord will play if... the 3 lords granted it. Oracle Sequence --- Only the Screeching gaze may trigger reward though. Breaking reality will help find the gift. Gorgon Area / Jumping Platform --- I'll be obvious, weapon details aren't there for show. Use the Weapon that breaks reality, be erasure about the gorgons because they will do the same to you. Gorgon Area Another thing is at each area there is a pivotal sequence that Must occur. There are a total of 5 chimes (if I remember correctly, I might be missing one), of which people had hit the first 2 as for the rest ... you'll need to try harder. Entire Vault of Glass progression Listen for it's screeching gaze and you'll find the crystalline cave. To find the cave you must take the leap of faith. Most likely Jumping Platforms but there's other hints that indicate post Atheon Fight Lore Info: Kabr was not alone, he ventured into the howling dark with Pahanin, Praedyth, Osiris and 2 others unknowns. --- The 3 lords will grant you a Hymn to match her dance.. if you take their treasure. Sync Plat Phase There is only one light... there is only one door but it changes... time changes. Atheon is not what he is but.. he is what he is. Make your own needle, piece the veil and you shall see the light. Atheon Fight? The lights are pretty, they give a certain.. warmth. Atheon Fight / Oracles? 1) Bestowed by the 3 lords you have a gift... a gift to speak in tune with time. 2) She wants to dance She wants to sing Will you let her? You have the Cords but... can you match her hymn? This has been solved. 3) When the Crusader hides, use the junction of two rivers to see the impossible when/where the pawns meet the end of their board. Only then will you see and hear time. 4) Your body develops an immune system once exposed to certain, lets say in this case... element. 5) Do as we did and do not strike the light, it was our demise, we did not have the strength. We took on the needle but it threaded through us, fusing us into the oceans of time... we were consumed. Our light however was not. Take our gift but if you feel worthy... strike him down as we did and in this... We only hope that you chose wisely. 6)Take the Plunge into the crystal abyss but soon, something you will find will be amiss... something that should not exist. 7) Transcend the limitation that you cannot fathom. Consume the dying light... accept inevitability that you will perish as did your antecedent. Standby at the Event Horizon and look to the Pillars of light towards the apex of where you venture -TMOS 8) There are many and they are vast, they define and refine reality. When your light is at its apex they will become tangible. Break their Reality when they are Immeasurable. WEAPONS DESCRIPTIONS AND THEIR POTENTIAL MEANINGS: Vision of Confluence: What you have seen will mark you forever. Fatebringer: Delivering the inevitable, one pull at a time. Atheon’s Epilogue: “Atheon’s story is still being written. The wielder holds the pen.” -Unknown Praedyth’s Timepiece: “ He skipped like a stone on time’s ocean. This is what’s left.” -Unknown Praedyth’s Revenge: Praedyth’s fall isn’t over . . . Because it hasn’t happened yet. . . and it will happen again Found Verdict: Witness Praetorian Foil: Erase the future Corrective Measure: It breaks the rules of reality as ruthlessly as it shatters your foes. Hezen Vengeance: The Hezen Axis Mind is tirelss and infinite. While it cannot be stopped. . . It can be paused. Vex Mythoclast: . . . a causal loop within the weapon’s mechanism, suggesting that the firing process somehow binds space and time into . . .

One member of your fireteam has to be dancing at all times throughout the raid and the chest spawns at the end. 100% legit.

A couple of friends and I have been talking about this and we are thinking that it could be the last part of the raid. After killing atheon we would try to travel back to the jump quest to one of the islands that is off in the distance. This is all just speculation at this point due to the fact that we have yet to try it after killing Atheon. We were just talking about this two days ago.
