Suggestion to VOG Secrets Seekers

I do remember DeeJ posting a notice regarding how many players had done Vault Of Glass and stuff and in that notice it said there are still secrets to be found. This may or may not be a legitimate quote but I have frequently been seeing this and I don't know of the origin. I added an underline, bold and italics to help understand my next theory. Quote: "You have found a [i]pedestal[/i]. The [i]chest[/i] was there at some point, it lies between future and past, but not present. Time is broken, but it can be [u]fixed[/u], for people have [i]mended[/i] it before and [b]left without questioning[/b], what changed." Before I get to the [b]Suggestion[/b] the real topic at hand, I just want to clarify what I understand about this quote and to see if anyone else can agree/disagree or even elaborate or give more ideas to what I'm about to explain. [b][u]The way I see it:[/u][/b] A pedestal is referred to as a base or support on which an object can be mounted on. In this case that object is a chest. Because Vault Of Glass has so much to do with time travel, the quote suggests that the chest appears somewhere in a different time period. But not present. Not present most likely meaning every single part of Vault of Glass up until time is fixed when Atheon is defeated. (Grimoire Card mentions that Atheon effects time) For those who don't know, mended can also mean repair. Once you defeat Atheon, time is repaired. Those who leave without questioning are most likely raiders who have left after receiving their "final" rewards. The last sentence in the quote suggests there is definitely something else or someway of finding a possible secret once the raid is complete. [b]Now I'd like to explain my theory:[/b] By now people know that there is an alternate passageway to the Templars through that hole under the first chest. If you take a correct path you can lead yourself to the templars while going through this alternate area. As far as I, and most people know, this place is completely empty. Most people suggest ways of unlocking a chest by completing some secret tasks in the beginning with the spires. My suggestion is: just as the Templar is defeated and the Spirit Bloom chest spawns in that empty hidden room near the left conflux; I believe that when Atheon is defeated a chest will spawn in that alternate path under the very first chest. Surely it may be a journey returning to the start of the raid. Hell, I would have thought getting back to the Gorgons Maze was impossible but people found a way. I do not know how to return to the Templars but I do know how to return to the alternate passageway from the Templars. If I can confirm that returning to the beginning or even Templars is possible then I will definitely try to prove my theory and make it become fact. The only things left in my way are, is there really more secrets or another chest in Vault of Glass, or is Bungie trying to get us to keep playing Vault of Glass over some stupid marketing scheme. [i]For now, I will be looking for guides on Youtube on how to return to Templars after defeating Atheon.[/i]

  • There are no more secrets. The person who was on the Dad's of Destiny Podcast said he was answering and different question. Read about it on reddit. He made a topic or two there, you want to waste your time, be my guest.

      I believe Deej lied! So people who were moaning about lack of content before TDB would get off his case & busy themselves trying to find a non existent item! Same way you distract an annoying toddler by playing hide & seek with them they hide 1st ;)

    • I believe that the chest spawns on the broken vex portal in the jumping puzzle room. This room is in between future and past if you think of the progression of the raid. The past is what you have completed (ie Templar) and the future is what you havent completed(ie Atheon) The broken portal is on a "pedestal" and once Atheon is killed Time is not broken it becomes mended or repaired. People left without questioning what they repaired or changed. I dont think the portal will open but it will have a chest near it. Question is how do you get to the jumping puzzle room after killing Atheon?

    • My theory is that "You have found a pedestal. The chest was there at some point, it lies between future and past, but not present." Perhaps the pedestal is the middle platform. It lies between the two portals most commonly referred to as venus and mars. Most have speculated that in accordance with time, the two portals are not different planets, but different instances of the present (Which is the gatekeeper room in itself. One portal may be the future, and the other may be the past. Now I'm not sure what the method would be, but perhaps there is one that would result in a chest spawning on the middle platform?

    • There is [b][u]nothing[/u][/b] left to find in the VoG, I really don't understand why people won't just accept this.

    • What's with the red light under the very first chest?

    • Two things we should test: 1) Try to escape the Aetheon chamber after teleporting to the past/future (Mars/Venus) or even explore these rooms more. This could be done after killing the oracles, there is a short window to explore. 2) Try to backtrack after defeating Aetheon. The door is closed so maybe we should keep someone outside when starting the Templar (you'd need a flawless 5 man run through Aetheon). You could investigate that portal out by the jumping puzzle to see if anything happens.
