Decoding the Vault: How Many Chests are in the Last Room of Last Wish?
The final room of Destiny 2’s Last Wish raid is legendary, not just for the challenging encounter with Riven, but also for the allure of hidden rewards within its many chests. The exact number of these chests has been a point of contention and curiosity among Guardians for years. So, let’s settle it once and for all.
There are 24 chests in the final room of the Last Wish raid, not the often-theorized 20. This discovery was made through meticulous observation and scrubbing of in-game footage by dedicated players. The initial theory that the chests followed a 5×4 grid formation turned out to be incorrect. There appears to be no direct correlation between the plate patterns in the room and the chest arrangement.
Now that we’ve established the definitive number of chests in the final room, let’s delve deeper into other common questions regarding the Last Wish raid.
Frequently Asked Questions About Last Wish
How many secret chests are there in Last Wish?
There are two secret chests in the Last Wish raid, located outside the final room. You can obtain them by completing any encounter in the raid. These chests are different from the 24 in the Riven encounter.
How do I access the secret chests in Last Wish?
The secret chests are obtained by successfully completing any Last Wish encounter, which includes the raid’s main encounters and even just grabbing one of the two secret chests. Completing an encounter awards loot, which may include a hidden chest. They do not need specific steps or puzzle solving.
What can drop from the Last Wish secret chests?
Unlike encounter chests which are restricted to specific loot pools, the Last Wish secret chests have no such limitations.

This makes them incredibly valuable for collecting the entire set.
Is Last Wish farmable?

Can Last Wish be completed solo?
Yes, Last Wish can be launched completely solo. You can start the raid from the Dreaming City destination map. However, completing the entire raid solo is an extreme challenge. While some encounters are soloable, others, such as the Riven encounter, generally require a team.
