A Gold Chest on the Moon.

Gold Chests are rare loot chests hidden across the explorable worlds in Destiny. Rarer than ordinary loot chests, they are hidden much more cleverly, and store better items than regular chests. Each area in the game boasts only a small number of them, upon acquiring all gold chests in an area, a special reward is unlocked.

Locations

Old Russia

• The Divide, obtained during the tutorial. First chest encountered.
• Devil's Lair, underneath the stairs on the right side of the boss room (facing the direction the room was entered from)
• Mothyards, on the path to the Forgotten Shore, after the large waterfall on the left side (heading to the Forgotten Shore), there's a cave midway up the cliff wall with the chest inside.
• Forgotten Shore, on the path to the Skywatch there's a piece of road jutting out over the cliff overlooking the water. Facing the water, drop down to the left and follow the narrow path to the end to find the chest.
• Lunar Complex, on top of the roof of the building the Fallen Captain is in during Patrol, in the same room that you fought the Wizard during the story mission.
• Completion Reward: Sparrow upgrade

Ocean of Storms

• Hellmouth, nestled into a small crag. Not really near any landmarks of note.
• World's Grave, on the right side of the last room facing the entrance.

Ishtar Sink

• Winter's Lair, during the mission Scourge of Winter, after defeating the Kell Guard but before the tunnel to the next area, on the top level across a gap you have to jump across. If your Ghost mentions a Ketch, you've gone too far.

Meridian Bay

• The Barrens, after triggering the failsafe in the story mission Exclusion Zone, in the large open area there is a building right to your right, the chest is inside on a stack of crates.
