How To Open Locked Aionian Chests in Destiny 2

By Daniel Hidalgo | 2025-07-18 10:34:05
In Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate, the new destination of Kepler is rife with Locked Chests, also known as Aionian Chests. Upon attempting to open these, players will often be met with messages like "You don't possess the technology to open this," or similar prompts indicating a specific locking mechanism. These chests are part of Kepler's Mysteries, and unlocking them requires advancing through the expansion's campaign and acquiring unique planetary abilities.

How To Open Locked Aionian Chests in Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate

Opening these locked Aionian Chests is directly tied to your progression in The Edge of Fate campaign, as you assist Lodi and Ikora in their fight against the Archon of the House of Exiles. As you advance the main questline, you'll unlock three primary Aionian Tech abilities, each corresponding to different types of locked chests.Here's a breakdown of the abilities and the chests they unlock:
  • Rosetta Aionian Tech:
    • How to Unlock: You'll gain this early in the campaign by progressing through the main story quests, specifically after meeting the Dean, Rebecca, and undertaking a short quest to gather information.
    • Chest Type: Rosetta unlocks Tier 1 and Tier 2 chests that display prompts like "Requires knowledge of an unfamiliar language" or "Requires in-depth knowledge of an unfamiliar language."
    • How to Open: Once you have the Rosetta tech, you can simply approach and interact with these chests to open them. No special puzzle or action is required beyond having the ability.
  • Matterspark:
    • How to Unlock: This is one of the first mystery abilities you'll encounter. You'll acquire it early in the campaign, and later, Matterspark Level 2 is unlocked through completing the Exile's Accord Strangelet and Central Academy Strangelet quest chains, followed by The Outer Steppes Strangelet and The Gorge Strangelet quest chains.
    • Chest Type: Matterspark chests are shielded and often give prompts like "Requires highly concentrated unknown energy."
    • How to Open:
      • Tier 1: For initial Matterspark chests, you typically need to use your ball form's attacks (likely a new traversal mode or ability in The Edge of Fate) to charge nearby batteries or vex pillars, which then removes the forcefield blocking the chest.
      • Tier 2 (Matterspark Level 2): For more advanced Matterspark chests, you'll need Matterspark Level 2. You transform into Matterspark, charge your shield-breaking pulse by collecting glowing orbs, and then use the pulse near the shielded construct (often blocky Vex conflux pylons) to break the barrier. This also includes "Matterspark puzzles" connected to a Field Generator that can be overcharged with this ability.
  • Relocator:
    • How to Unlock: The Relocator and its Level 2 upgrade are earned through the Exile's Accord Strangelet quest chain, which becomes available shortly after you arrive at the Caldera Aion settlement.
    • Chest Type: These chests usually give the prompt "Requires upgraded Fallen tech."
    • How to Open: Similar to Rosetta, once you have the Relocator upgrade, you can typically just approach and open these chests. Some may involve a "Relocator II Puzzle" where you jump between nodes to deactivate a shield generator. The Relocator allows you to teleport to predetermined pads, often used for traversal to reach hidden chests.
  • Mattermorph:
    • How to Unlock: Mattermorph is the third and final Kepler ability you'll unlock by following the main questline. It usually requires completing both the Exile's Accord Strangelet and the Central Academy Strangelet quest chains, followed by The Outer Steppe's Strangelet quest.
    • Chest Type: These chests are often covered in a strange "goo" material or have elements that can be altered. They will prompt "Requires undiscovered technology."
    • How to Open: Mattermorph uses Strand to alter your surroundings, allowing you to relocate platforms, manipulate Kepler's goo growths, and open specific chests that are covered in this strange material. Despite its more complex applications, you can usually open Mattermorph chests directly once the ability is acquired, similar to Rosetta and Relocator chests, though the path to the chest might require Mattermorph traversal.
  • Rewards from Aionian Chests

    These Aionian Chests can contain Kepler Destination Weapons. A unique feature related to these rewards is the Altar of Relativity, located in the Aionian base of operations in Caldera.

    • Attuning Rewards: By interacting with the Altar of Relativity, players can attune to specific rewards. This means you can influence the type of weapon you're likely to receive from these chests.
    • Curated Rolls: The weapons obtained from Aionian Chests are not "God Rolls" (random perfect perk combinations) but rather curated rolls that are guaranteed to come with improved perks, making themconsiderably stronger than regular versions found as World Drops. Thisallows players to target specific weapon archetypes with strong,pre-determined perk combinations.

    Examples of Kepler Destination Weapons:

    • Agape: Heavy-Burst Hand Cannon (often praised for its strong perk combinations).
    • Giver's Blessing: Rapid-Fire Frame Auto Rifle.
    • Precipial: Precision Frame Void Shotgun.
    • Ulterior Observation: Aggressive Frame Machine Gun (Stasis damage).
    • Last Thursday: Adaptive Frame Strand Burst Rifle.

    By mastering the various Aionian Technologies and systematically exploring Kepler, Guardians can unlock these valuable chests and significantlyenhance their arsenal with powerful, curated weaponry.
