Public Events

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

Prevent Vex Sacrifices

Locations:The Citadel, Ishtar Cliffs

At the top of a hill, a small group of Goblins guards a conflux as they prepare for the sacrifice of fellow Vex. Your objective is to prevent this from happening. Once you fire at one of the Goblins, a four-minute timer begins counting down. Now your mission is to defend this conflux as Vex Goblins, Hobgoblins, Harpies, and Minotaur approach. Goblins are the first to approach, kneeling down before being sacrificed. Take them out anytime during this process. Next to the timer, the number of remaining Sacrifices is displayed. Once ten Vex complete the procedure, you fail the event. Join up with other Guardians and take out any Vex that approach the conflux until the timer expires to complete the Public Event.

Eliminate the Target

Locations:The Citadel

An enemy appears in the area, slowly making its way to a certain destination. Your objective is simply to eliminate it before it gets there. It’s always a special enemy with greater vitality and aggression than the norm. Its progress through five checkpoints appears on the left, along with a timer. Take it down before the timer reaches 0 and it reaches checkpoint 5 to complete the event.

Defeat Extraction Crew

Locations:Ember Caves

A crew of Fallen drops into the area, attempting to extract precious Glimmer. The Guardians must clear the drill site by killing all of the Fallen. Once one crew is defeated, a second shows up elsewhere in the zone. Clear out three drill sites to complete the event and earn a Gold Tier.

Destroy Fallen Walker

Location:Ember Caves

A drop ship delivers a Devil Walker into the public space. Now it’s up to the Guardians to defeat the tank before it causes too much trouble. Take down the target in the same manner as in the Earth Strike, Devils’ Lair. Do so before the five-minute timer expires to complete the event with a Gold Tier. Remember that it is invulnerable until its lights come on.

Gold Chests

1:Shattered Coast to Ishtar Academy

Drop into the hole in the Shattered Coast and follow the tunnel toward Ishtar Academy. Before you reach the bend, look back to find a Gold Chest next to a pillar.

2:Campus 9

After you enter Campus 9 from the Waking Ruins, run over to the far building, next to the waterfall. A Gold Chest sits next to the structure on the other side.

3:N/Gen Branch

Enter N/Gen Branch from Ishtar Commons and head to the right. Move into the small building and search the central cubicles for the Gold Chest.

4:Winter’s Lair

In Winter’s Lair, follow the trail around the outside of the cavern until you reach the upper overlook. Step out onto the horizontal pole and jump over to the right ledge to collect this Gold Chest.

5:The Cinders

In the Cinders, fight your way onto the ketch. Turn to the right and move to the very back. Drop down to the lower ledge to find the Gold Chest.

Dead Ghost Locations

1 Headlands

Heading toward Shattered Coast, search near the sulfur ponds on the left to find a Dead Ghost.

2 Shattered Coast

From the Headlands entrance to Shattered Coast, take the street straight and then to the right. On the sea side of the right-hand building, look for a burnt-out hatchback with a Dead Ghost lying in the back.

3 Ishtar Academy

Enter Ishtar Academy from Shattered Coast and jump up to the left side’s second level. Search the bookshelf, roughly even with the statue, to find the Dead Ghost.

4 Ishtar Cliffs

Just inside Ishtar Cliffs from Shattered Coast, search along the wall under the cave outcropping to find this Ghost.

5 Waking Ruins

Enter Waking Ruins from Ishtar Cliffs and follow the trail until you reach the big, central ruins on your left. Move around them until you can climb up. A Dead Ghost lies at the very top point.

6 Campus 9

From Waking Ruins, enter Campus 9 and head over to the far-right outpost. Jump onto the roof, and then over to the hill on the other side. Continue in this direction and jump onto the ruins. Hop over to the left and then skip back the other way, across three more blocks. Angle to the right and perform your longest jump, over to a small ledge where the Dead Ghost is hidden.

7 Ishtar Commons

Inside Ishtar Commons from the academy, move past the circular structure on the left and hop onto the railing. Turn back toward the building and jump over to the awning. Carefully walk along the ledge until you get to the Dead Ghost.

8 Ishtar Commons

Enter Ishtar Commons from Ishtar Academy, and run to the other side of the right building to find an open elevator. Another Dead Ghost rests inside.

9 Winter’s Lair

Inside the main cavern of Winter’s Lair, follow the dirt path to the left, and make another left as soon as you can. Continue back to a small cave with the Dead Ghost inside.

10 Ember Caves

In Ember Caves, search for a small cave to the right of the path up to Winter’s Lair. The Ghost lies at the back of the den.

11 Hall of Whispers

Just inside Hall of Whispers, a tree branch holds the next Dead Ghost, though it isn’t as easy as that to get. You must either hop onto the blue box and high-jump up to the limb, Or you must run up the steps and jump over to the building’s awning. Turn around and hop across the poles until you can reach the tree.

12 Endless Steps

At the Endless Steps, climb the stairs and move along the hill. Hop up the pillar to find this Dead Ghost.

13 N/Gen Branch

Enter N/Gen Branch from Ishtar Commons and run into the building straight ahead. Climb the steps to the upper walkway, move around the corner, and search next to the console.
