WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Eye of Helios, followed by the treasure room beyond the Zarpedon encounter.
Defeat Colonel Zarpedon once to open the Eye of Helios treasure room, then use the room’s reset for continued loot. The resulting loop is a boss-unlock route followed by a chest farm. It provides varied equipment and saleable items, while avoiding unnecessary boss replays after the room is available.
Before you go Advance the main story to Colonel Zarpedon in the Eye of Helios. Defeat her and enter the treasure room that opens afterward. Carry inventory space for a spread of chest loot. Reach the Zarpedon encounter during the main campaign. Defeat Colonel Zarpedon and move into the opened reward area. Open all red and yellow chests in the room. Review drops and take equipment that improves your current setup. Sell unwanted items at nearby vendors if you need cash or room. Save and quit while still inside the treasure room. Reload, loot the refreshed chests, and repeat the room loop. Farming tips Treat the fight as the unlock condition; the repeatable portion is opening chests after reloading. Use this route for general upgrades, then switch to a named enemy if you need a particular item. Repeat, collect and use The Zarpedon kill is a one-time unlock for this loop. The post-fight chest room can be revisited by saving and quitting inside it, then reloading.
Common mistakes Repeating the boss on every run wastes time; once the room is open, reset from inside the treasure room. Saving and quitting outside the treasure room can make the chest reset less direct; position yourself in the room first. Expecting a specific boss drop from the chests misreads the route; this is a general container farm. When to stop or switch Stop when the chest drops no longer help your build or when you want to pursue a targeted Legendary elsewhere.
