Destiny: The Taken King: How to open the Dreadnaught ‘Key’ chests

If you've been playing Destiny: The Taken King, odds are you've already come across a chest requiring a specific key to open it. This could include the Key of Ur, Key of Yul, or something similar.

Regardless of the name, how you obtain the keys to open these chests, which are scattered throughout the Dreadnaught, is the same. Below is a quick guide to opening the chests.

Wormsinger Rune

It all starts with the Wormsinger Rune, a common item dropped from Hive Knights and Wizards aboard the Dreadnaught.

Once you find a Wormsinger Rune, you'll need to take it to the Wormsinger switch located in the Hull Breach. Once you take it here, insert the Wormsinger Rune and you'll spawn a Hive scouting party.

After you kill that initial scouting party, they'll send in Blahgrish, the Hive Ogre, who you'll have to defeat to obtain the Wormfeeder Rune.

Wormfeeder Rune

Once you obtain the Wormfeeder Rune, you're tasked with killing 50 enemies on the Dreadnaught without dying (dying will reset your progress).

Once you kill 50 enemies, the Wormfeeder Rune will transform into 1 of 9 keys:

• Key of Akka
• Key of Eir
• Key of Gnashing Teeth
• Key of Maggots
• Key of Ur
• Key of Wyrding
• Key of Xol
• Key of Yuul
• Key of the Spawn

Opening The Chests

Once you obtain the key, you simply take it to the corresponding chest. You can find the locations for each of the unique chests here.
