Destiny 2: How to Unlock Chests Requiring Foreign Language Knowledge

In Destiny 2`s “The Edge of Fate” main story quest, you`ll frequently encounter red chests on the new planet Kepler. Opening these requires proficiency in the unfamiliar Aeonian language. Initially, upon arriving on Kepler, you won`t comprehend anything they say. While your companion, Lodi, possesses a basic grasp of their tongue, specific planetary abilities must be unlocked for full interaction and access to these enigmatic chests.

As you advance through “The Edge of Fate” campaign missions, you will eventually meet Dean Rebecca. She will assign you a brief quest involving defeating enemies and gathering intel. Upon completing this task, you will be rewarded with the “Rosetta” device. The Rosetta provides a fundamental comprehension of the Aeonian language, enabling you to unlock those previously inaccessible chests.

Further progression in the campaign offers flexibility in mission order. To maximize the number of chests you can open, it`s advisable to prioritize quests that grant “Rosetta” upgrades. Each enhancement broadens your understanding of the Aeonian language, allowing for deeper comprehension and the discovery of more secrets on Kepler.
