Public Events

Check out the maps at the start of the Mars chapter to find where the events occur and how often.

Eliminate the Target

Locations: Scablands, The Hollows, Rubicon Wastes, Barrens, Buried City

An enemy appears in the area and slowly makes its way to a certain destination. Your objective is simply to eliminate it before it gets there. This is always a special enemy, with more Vitality and aggressive behaviors than the norm. Its progress through five checkpoints is displayed on the left, along with a timer. To complete the event, take down the adversary before the timer reaches 0 and the foe reaches checkpoint 5.

Defend the Warsat

Locations: Scablands, Barrens, Buried City

A flash of light represents the touchdown of a Warsat in the area as a one-minute timer starts counting down. To start the event, a Guardian must deploy their Ghost. A circle appears around the satellite. As you stand inside the circle, a meter with a number inside starts to fill. Your objective is to guard the Warsat until the number reaches 100. Step out of the circle, and the meter pauses. The more Guardians that are linked (standing inside the circle), the faster the meter fills. Enemies constantly emerge as a timer counts down from four minutes.

Gold Chests

1: The Barrens

From the Barrens landing zone, go over to the circular Cabal outpost that sits near the exit to Scablands. The Gold Chest sits atop a stack of crates.

2: Barrens to the Hollows

In the tunnel between Barrens and the Hollows, look for a small opening above just before you emerge downtown. Hop into the hole, and look to the right to find the chest.

3: Dust Palace

Inside the Dust Palace, where the first door is opened in the Dust Palace Strike, look for the door labeled with the number 3. Behind the reception desk is the Gold Chest.

4: Iron Line

Inside Iron Line, at the giant gate that leads to the Legion’s Keep, run along the left walkway. Jump onto the big pipes in the corner, and turn around. Leap up to the walkway on the left and follow it all the way to the other side to find this chest, neatly tucked into the corner.

5: Tharsis Junction

Inside the subway at Tharsis Junction, look for the Vex gate in the corner behind the train cars. Behind it is a small room. Go inside, and slip behind the fencing in the far corner. Follow the path to collect the chest.

Dead Ghost Locations

1 Barrens

From the Barrens landing zone, head toward the Hollows and stop at the circular outpost. Grab the Dead Ghost that sits on one of the crates inside.

2 Scablands

Move through the Rubicon gate and take a left. Jump onto the rock outcropping to reach the upper level of the outpost.

3 Firebase Rubicon

At the gate that leads to Rubicon Wastes, turn around and find the narrow passageway in the rock. Follow it back to a tree and search behind a root for the ghost.

4 The Hollows

Drive into the Hollows from the Barrens, and enter the dome straight ahead. Jump onto the light near the side entrance and then leap up to the upper balcony, where the Dead Ghost lies.

5 Dust Palace

Inside the atrium, climb up the curved staircase until you can jump onto the narrow ledge along the right wall. Carefully follow it back to find the ghost just in front of one of the windows.

6 Overwatch

In the middle area of the Overwatch, on the left side of the room as you enter from Dust Palace, a Dead Ghost lies next to a computer under a corner desk. This desk sits opposite the door that leads out to the Cortex from the Dust Palace Strike.

7 Giants’ Pass

Look for a tree that overlooks the checkpoint, and search behind it to find the ghost.

8 Valley of the Kings

From Giants’ Pass, move into Valley of the Kings and hop onto the outpost that sits on the ledge straight ahead. Leap onto the narrow ledge on the side of the cliff, and carefully move around to the left and drop down to the shelf. The ghost sits toward the wall.

9 Valley of the Kings

Enter the Valley of the Kings from Giants’ Pass, and follow the path past the big Vex gate. Search the lower shelf of the cliff on the left side of the trail.

10 The Drift

Just before you reach Scablands from the Drift, hug the left slope. Jump onto the tree and shimmy along the branch to collect the ghost.

11 Buried City

In Buried City, use the freestanding wall to jump onto the roof of the Off World Transit station. Find the ghost behind the main sign.

12 Freehold Station

In the main area of Freehold Station, where a Cyclops appears during A Rising Tide, a Dead Ghost rests atop the television in the center of the room. Hop onto the nearby divider to reach it.

13 Tharsis Junction

Deep inside the subway, in Tharsis Junction, a Dead Ghost rests atop a pile of rubble near the tunnel corner.

14 Iron Line

There is a rock crevasse in the ceiling where this ghost hides. Climb to the wall platform and jump across to a distant platform at the end of a support column. Jump again to reach it.

15 Trenchworks

Along the right side of Trenchworks, just after the guard tower, climb onto the rock platforms to find the ghost on the ground between the platform and the cliff.

16 The Legion’s Keep

In Legion’s Keep, search underneath the Vex Spire platform to find a Dead Ghost lying on the ground.

17 Upper Garden

During the final story mission, after you enter the Darkness Zone, turn to the right and search just over the cliff at the far end. The ghost sits on a small ledge below.

18 The Black Garden

After climbing up a set of stairs, turn to the right and keep walking. Just when it starts to look like you have reached the edge of the path, look down to see a stone that you can hop down to. Do so and turn the corner to find this ghost.
