Hi,
I have done the Encore mission on Expert, and the 1st quest step has given me credit for this. However, I have opened all of the secret chests (except the very last) and have the specimens for NES 009.
I have received only for stocks, but have never gotten credit for opening any of the other chests. The first step in the quest that says open a secret chest has not advanced.
What is up? Or, do I need to open the last chest, and then rerun the mission 3 more times, on top of the 3 or 4 times I have already run it?
Honestly, this episode was one of the reasons I left for the next 2, because I kept having to run the SAME mission, over and over and over again.

Hey there, out of the mission's 7 chests, you are missing the third one, which is called 'Gatekeeping' in your Triumphs. This chest is the 'first' chest that the first catalyst quest refers to, yes, it is poorly worded. The second catalyst quest looks for chest 5 and the third looks for chest 7, you've done both of these plus the Expert completion, so all you need to do is open the third chest and you're done, you don't even need to fight the boss after. When you hand the first catalyst quest in to Banshee, you'll auto complete the second and third as you've met the requirements. To find the chest, you need to activate the portals at the beginning of the mission, then continue to the second conflux, the one before the final boss. Once you enter the second portal room, it is the portal directly ahead that leads you to the Gatekeeping encounter.
