The post-Zarpedon chest room provides a repeatable source of varied gear, ammunition, and saleable items.

PC / Global, base game and released DLC
WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Eye of Helios treasure room, opened after Colonel Zarpedon’s story encounter.

Use this campaign chest route when you want a broad gear refresh without repeating the boss fight. The room contains several red and yellow chests, so it suits general loot hunting rather than farming one named item. The route is available in the base game; it does not require DLC.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Advance the main campaign to the Eye of Helios.
  • Defeat Colonel Zarpedon and enter the treasure room.
  • Bring inventory space if you plan to keep or sell several drops.
  1. Complete the Zarpedon encounter and proceed into the treasure room it opens.
  2. Search the room for every red and yellow chest.
  3. Open each chest and inspect its contents before leaving the area.
  4. Take gear that improves your build or fills a needed slot.
  5. Sell unwanted equipment at the nearby vendors when useful.
  6. Remain in the room and save and quit from there.
  7. Reload the character, check that the room’s chests have refreshed, and loot them again.

Farming tips

  • Compare weapons by how they perform for your character, not just by rarity; this is a general loot pool.
  • Keep some inventory space free so a useful drop does not force you to discard gear prematurely.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeatable after the story encounter: save and quit while in the treasure room, reload, and loot the refreshed containers. No need to defeat Zarpedon again for each pass.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving before saving and quitting inside the room can make the reset less convenient; save and quit from the treasure room.
  • Expecting a particular legendary is a mismatch for a general chest farm; use a dedicated source when you need one named item.
  • Selling everything by rarity alone can discard useful build pieces; compare stats and effects first.

When to stop or switch

Stop when the room’s drops no longer improve your equipment or when a targeted item needs a more specific farm.
