Find all Gold Chests and complete the 'A Stranger's Call' and 'Ishtar Collective' missions in Destiny: The Taken King with this comprehensive guide.

Dead Ghost:

  1. Location: Winter's Lair - "Scourge of Winter"
  2. Head through the cave until it opens into a wider area. Turn left towards the darkness and navigate to a corner where a hidden path leads to the Dead Ghost in the foliage.

Gold Loot Chest Locations:

  1. Gold Loot Chest #1
    Location: Shattered Coast
    On the path towards Ishtar Academy, find a tunnel. The chest is next to a pillar just before the bend.
  2. Gold Loot Chest #2
    Location: Winter's Lair
    During the "Scourge of Winter" Mission, on the ground before the ketch ship. Run around the right side and leap off the ledge to reach the rock platform with the chest.
  3. Gold Loot Chest #3
    Location: The Cinders
    When at the ketch ship, instead of turning left for the "Scourge of Winter" Mission, go right to find the chest at the end of the ship.
  4. Gold Loot Chest #4
    Location: Campus-9
    Towards the end of the "Ishtar Collective" Mission, enter Campus-9. Go to the back past the last building; the chest is on the other side.
  5. Gold Loot Chest #5
    Location: N/Gen Branch
    Enter from Ishtar Commons and turn right into the building. The chest is in one of the cubicles towards the back.

Mission: A Stranger's Call

Location: Ishtar Sink, Venus

Fireteam: 1-3 Players

Level Requirement: 10 (Heroic Modifier: 14)

  1. Shattered Coast: Find the Guardian Outpost to link your Sparrow. Head down the hill, defeat Fallen, and follow the coast. You'll find more Fallen inside a building; use a grenade to flush them out. Check the computer at the top of the steps and deploy your Ghost to find your next destination.
  2. Ishtar Academy - Darkness Zone: Head back towards the coast to a hole leading into Ishtar Academy. Deploy your Ghost to investigate and face the Vex. Defeat Goblins on the lower level, then move to the balconies. Your objective changes to "Resist the Vex." Goblins can be shot in the body, with their glowing midsection as a weak point. Destroying their heads causes them to shoot wildly while charging. Hobgoblins also appear; kill them in a single shot or destroy their shields. A Minotaur will appear at the end; it moves quickly and can blink. Use Grenades or Super Abilities against it as Heavy Weapons are too slow. Use pillars to flank the Vex. The mission ends after defeating them. Return to the Tower with the Goblin's Eye and speak with the Vanguard Mentor for an Armor Upgrade.

Mission: Ishtar Collective

Location: Ishtar Sink, Venus

Fireteam: 1-3 Players

Level Requirement: 11 (Heroic Modifier: 15)

  1. Ishtar Cliffs: Head towards your previous mission objective through the Shattered Coast. You need to find a Mind Core. Defeat Fallen near the cliffs or ride past them on your Sparrow. A Cyclops will warp in; it launches explosives from up high. Harpies and Goblins are nearby; take cover and defeat the Cyclops, whose weak point is its eye.
