Chest #7 – Vault of the Beloved
To reach the vault containing this chest, pull the lever by the gate.
Interact with the chest to find out that you’ll need to light candles to open the chest. Before you can light these candles, you must defeat all the enemies in the Vault of the Beloved. Once you do, interact with the 6 red candles with a green base lining the path of the aisle.
Chest #8 – Vault of the Beloved
This chest can be found along the main path.

Climb up the ladder then use Spite’s Reach to form platforms.

This chest can be found at the end of the walkway.
Chest #11 – Cascades
This chest becomes accessible after unlocking Taash as a companion.
This chest can be found in the southern part of the area in a gated room. To open the gate, you’ll need to find a wisp. Head through the doorway north to reach the Spectral Court. On the left side of the room, interact with the coffin using Placate Mischief ability.
You’ll then need to follow the wisp and light the braziers with Taash in the order that it’s flying to. Afterwards, the wisp will open the coffin allowing you to get some goodies and the wisp will cooperate in going with you to the pedestal by the chest’s gate.
Chest #12, #13 & #14 – Chamber of the Unforged
You must complete the Pinnacle of Its Kind quest to access this area.

To open it, you must ring the bell just outside then follow the wisp to the other bells around the area and ring them. You’ll know it’s their turn to be rung when they glow yellow. After ringing all the bells, the door will open.
Chest #17 – Cascades
You must complete the Walking the Graves quest to access this area.
South of The Memorial Garden beacon, you’ll find a little path. Follow it to reach this chest.
