Borderlands 3 Locked Chests & How to Open Them

Opening these locked chests revolves around Typhon Logs. These are basically little audio logs that’ll give you a bit of XP for uncovering them, as well as give you a tidbit of lore. The locked chest found on the west side of the map can only be unlocked by finding all three Typhon Logs in The Droughts.

Finding the Typhon Logs

  1. Head into the southeast corner of the map and look on your map for the narrow path that bulges at the end.

    Once you arrive here, you’ll find a bunch of rocky cliffs, Skags, and some smaller rocks standing in the center. One of these has a ramp leading to the top, with a Typhon Log waiting for you.borderlands 3 typhon log location 2

  2. Next up, follow the road from the main camp north and look for the giant bones sticking out of the ground.

    You’ll see an old bus teetering very close to the edge of a cliff here. Just to the left of it, you’ll find the next log.droughts typhon log locations

  3. For the last log, you’ll need to wait until you’re exploring the Dahl Orbital Control building in the final mission in The Droughts.

    When you reach a satellite dish in the center of a room, keep heading towards the outdoors. Right by another edge and a small, yellow building, you’ll find the final Typhon Log.
