The Coil is the newest seasonal activity in Destiny 2. It follows traditional gauntlet-based rogue-like mechanics, and players need to fight their way through different encounters and bosses for scores, which can be used to open up hidden chests in the terrain. There are a total of eight chests in The Coil, each in the Pathways section of an encounter.

The Pathways section in The Coil can be identified by the plates and several obstacles in the area. There are two Pathways in one encounter, which adds up to eight across all four stages. To highlight the chests from a distance, it is always recommended to have the "Expert Tracker" Ghost mod equipped.

Additionally, this article will briefly explain the locations of these chests from the spawn point in each Pathways zone.

It is important to know that the chests within each stage require a particular score. The deeper you are in The Coil, the higher the requirement to open the door. You can familiarize yourself with The Coil activity before venturing out for the secret chests.

Here are the locations of all eight chests based on the encounter:
