The Crystal Barrows are located down there. You use the [treasure] key(s) there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vB8DhFA0-_o [b]update 5/18/2015[/b]Finally - someone answers the Treasure Key puzzle... Okay, there are 2x SMALL 1x LARGE treasure chest at the end of the PoE - CHALLENGE MODE ONLY Crystal Barrows Treasure Room. You DO NOT need a key for the small chests. YOU DO NEED A KEY FOR THE LARGE CHEST. You might get lucky and find a key in the small chests, so you can open the large chest... you might NOT. If you have a key, you automatically get to open the LARGE CHEST. Farming Keys Guarantees you will open the LARGE CHEST. The Large one is the one which has all the super good loot in it. http://planetdestiny.com/prison-treasure-key-guide/ [b]Update 5/21/15[/b] Post explains the Treasure Loot System / Exotic Bounties well: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/122919601/0/0 'Ms 5ooo Watts' covers a lot new info that was NOT in the reveal, like new mobs, RNG, modifiers, ojbectives, gifts, multiple shields, Different Bosse(s) "Wretched Knight Dark Blade of Hive - boss 8:04", raid modifiers...
