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.

Or if you are looking at the back wall with all the light, to the left. This chest is guarded by blind Thralls. They are immune to damage. The video link I will post will show that you will have to enter a strike to get the chest open. Edit: I was on patrol and it seems like it will work on patrol as well. The buff you get from standing in the maggot room will begin taking effect as soon as you enter into the tunnel. Give it a minute to charge up then it will make a noise and begin a timer. You have less than a minute to make it to the chest. My Titan is too slow, that and if I would just focus on my jumps I could probably make it within the final seconds. So equip your sub class to all agility stuff.

The black corruption on the ground can kill you quickly. I have seen a video that shows a defender Titan help his buddies with his Ward set to damage resistance. The video I'm posting will tell you that your super ability can help any class. I will say this, for anyone that games with me I would be more than happy to drop my Ward for your chest.

It is for a chest that spawns in the Founts. I was always curious about this empty room and now I know more about it. There are Taken events on the Dreadnaught. Once you charge a rune that drops you take it and turn it into the rune slot machine. Then it starts an event and at the end a chest appears and boom. Link below.
