Azure Void Crusade Guide

This is a guide for the locations of chests/loot, info-fragments, etc. in the Azure Void Crusade. Non-guaranteed loot spawns are beyond the scope of the guide.

Crusade Map

Use the table of contents to navigate to whichever mission you're currently doing. The numbering order was roughly determined by the order in which I ran the missions when I made the screenshot of the crusade map.



Note: The map was changed slightly with the 'Season of the Inferno' update so I added the change (the blue dotted-line) to my already existing screenshot rather than renumber a new screenshot.

Crusade/Mission Map Key

Yellow box -> chest or loot
-This icon covers all types of chests as well as the 'unidentified blueprint'. The icon's size is not indicative of what type of chest/loot is there.

Blue 'Diamond' -> info-fragment
-For revealing the contents of end-crusade loot chests. Omicron Arkh has a voice line that lets you know when one is nearby. (I realize this icon is pixellated in the mission maps)

Red Triangle -> enemy that drops an encrypted dataslate
-The dataslate is used to unlock the cogitator that gives you access to a secret mission.

Red Box -> cogitator for unlocking secret missions

Purple Oval -> teleporter
-Only teleporters that go to rooms with other map-key objects are marked.

Red Diamond -> covert mission (this is a crusade map icon)

Green Star -> relevant secondary objective
-Only secondary objectives that unlock something upon successful completion are marked.

Note about the crusade map:
The small yellow number in each mission icon is the corresponding difficulty increase.

Note about the mission maps:
I've rotated them to at least approximately match how the map is oriented at the start of the mission.

Map 9 on hardcore. Don't know if it's a regular. Leaving it here in case someone else verifies

Like I ask everyone who points out a 'new' chest, you sure it's always there?

[mitko.p]

Mission 2 has one more chest: in the rightmost arrow-looking area in the top-right-ish part of the map. Instead of going north to the last Daemon Gate you go east for a little bit and it's there at the end. It's a chest protected by a demon.

[Vrakos Anthrakir]

You sure it's always there?

[wilcoxon]

Map 17 has a teleporter to another chest (and a "boss"). It is due west of the chest shown on your map.

[Vrakos Anthrakir]

Ran 5 once, no teleporter. Ran 13 three times, teleporter was there only two of the times.

[Belphegon]

yes it is - done it 2 times the Azure - 1 on HC and 1 in normal Max. Mission #5 is the Teleporter at the 3rd corner and in Mission #13 is the Teleporter in the next room to the VIP

[Vrakos Anthrakir]

You sure it's always there?

[Belphegon]

There is a Teleporter in Mission #5 and in #13 on your map into a big room with a miniboss and a big chest

[Vrakos Anthrakir]

You sure it's always there? I'm pretty sure it's not
