Complete Argus Treasure Route for Legion Remix — Shoot First Loot Later
This guide is a complete, practical walkthrough for looting every single treasure across Argus in Legion Remix sessions. Whether you want achievement credit, cosmetics, or steady gold and gear, this long-form guide gives step-by-step routes, class-specific tactics, troubleshooting, and efficient loops to hit every chest in Krokuun-style ridges, Mac’Aree platform fields, and Antoran trenches. Every subheading below uses H3 formatting for quick skimming and bookmark-friendly navigation.
How to use this guide
Follow the zone-by-zone routes in order to minimize backtracking.
Read the tactical notes for each chest cluster before attempting platform jumps or timed events.
Use the combined loop as a template for single-run 100% clears.
Refer to the FAQ if a chest is missing, glitched, or behind a rare.
Preparation and core principles
Before you set foot (or boot) on Argus, adopt these core principles to make every Remix session efficient.
Time economy: Remix runs often punish wasted time more than failed fights. Prioritize quick, safe grabs.
Mobility first: Many treasures are tucked on ledges, pillars, or tiny islands. Movement abilities and mounts save minutes per run.
Scout before committing: From a vantage, survey patrol routes and rare spawns; plan your approach so you avoid large pulls.
Chunk the run: Break your route into short loops (5–12 chests) so rare timers and events can complete while you sweep the map.
Consumables matter: Keep a small supply of healing and movement consumables; use them for the few sticky moments rather than every chest.
Overview of Argus terrain and treasure archetypes
Argus treasures appear in three broad environment archetypes, each requiring a slightly different approach.
Krokuun-style ridges: open vistas and ruined outposts where chests hide in alcoves or behind architecture.
Mac’Aree-style platforms: vertical zones with floating islands, narrow bridges, and platform hopping.
Antoran trenches and citadels: dense interior spaces with rooms, generators, mini-mechanics, and tighter combat encounters.
Treasure encounters vary from single-guard chests to event-locked rewards and platform-only placements. Some chests are gated by a short mechanic (flip a switch, clear a generator), while others are behind roaming rares or require precise jumping. Expect variety, and plan accordingly.
General movement toolkit (applicable to all classes)
These movement strategies reduce time spent fumbling on gaps and ledges.
Mount choice: Use the fastest permitted mount for ground; if flying is allowed in the session, pick the fastest flying mount. In no-fly Remix runs, a speed-ground mount with burst cooldown is king.
Reposition cooldowns: Treat Blink, Charge, Disengage, Roll, or similar as a precious resource—save one for platform recovery rather than initial engagement.
Controlled falling: For chests below, aim for safe fall arcs rather than risky drops. If your class has slow-fall or hover, use it to scout below.
Line-of-sight and kiting: Pull single enemies into narrow corridors to avoid dragging whole patrols; this keeps the chest area manageable.
Utility spells: Use stuns, roots, or any form of short crowd control to create windows to loot.
Loot rules and pop conditions
Many treasure chests appear based on zone events and timers. If a chest is missing, a timed event (or a rare) may be occupying its slot.
Some chests are single-loot or personal-loot; be aware in groups and coordinate who opens what.
Event-gated chests usually show clues (mechanics, visible devices). Finish the event or generator to unlock them—completing other nearby chests while an event runs is usually faster.
Zone 1 — Krokuun-style route and tactics
Krokuun zones reward scouting and using vertical advantage.
Recommended loadout
One mobility cooldown saved for tricky descent/ascents.
Single-target ranged for tagging elites.
Crowd control for patrol-heavy approaches.
Start routine
Clear immediate zone and identify patrol loops.
Hit the west ridge ruin chest first—approach from above to avoid patrols.
Sweep outpost perimeters: check behind crates and under walkways.
Inspect rock arches and alcoves—open chests only after baiting single guards.
Finish at southern tech debris where small machinery commonly conceals a chest.
Tactical notes
Approach ruins from higher ground to spot guards and leash points.
Use ranged poke to pull elites into predictable funnel zones.
If a chest is event-locked, continue your route; timed cooldowns will often finish while you loop other areas.
Krokuun treasure examples and micro-routes
West Ridge Nook: Jump to the collapsed arch, clear the lone guardian, unlock chest, backtrack via slope.
Supply Cache Perimeter: Clear two sentries, check behind stacked crates, open chest, kite remaining adds into the nearest chokepoint.
Broken Sentinel Platform: Use a ranged tag, drop to lower platform, pick chest, and use mobility to climb back out.
These micro-routes are optimized so you rarely wait on event timers and can return quickly if a chest was not present.
Zone 2 — Mac’Aree-style route and tactics
Mac’Aree demands precise platforming and conservative use of movement CDs.
Recommended loadout
Mobility ability confirmed and ready.
Interrupts or stuns for casters on small platforms.
Fall damage mitigation or consumables if you like risk-reward drops.
Platform loop
Sweep low platforms near the landing zone—chests often hide under beams.
Clear the central reactor spine for a chest perched near machinery.
Use balcony jumps to reach upper chests; test short drops and use slow-fall if needed.
Chain through drift-island bridges—move quickly between platforms to avoid knockback mechanics.
Finish at the ruined observation post where chests sit behind tech panels.
Tactical notes
Practice the jump order before clearing heavy guards. Missing a jump wastes far more time than fighting the enemies.
If a chest sits on a moving platform, observe its cycle to plan the safe window.
In Remix sessions that impair movement, reroute to easier chests first and return once movement-affecting modifiers expire.
Mac’Aree treasure examples and jump sequences
Low-beam Cache: Walk the beam slowly; use slow-fall if your class provides it.
Reactor Spine Vault: Clear two mechanical guardians, pull one into a corner, and open the chest without hugging the radiator to avoid flamethrowers.
Floating Lens Chest: Time your sprint and dash to cross narrow planks; if you have a knockback-resistance buff, use it to stabilize landing.
Zone 3 — Antoran trenches and citadels
Antoran interiors are the most mechanically dense and generally require coordinated tactics.
Recommended loadout
AoE and short-cooldown defensive abilities.
Interrupts and stuns for caster-heavy rooms.
Consumables for mitigation on final, heavier rooms.
Structured run
Sweep the outer trench; check small rooms behind the outer line for tucked chests.
Clear the fortified mast chamber and watch for mine patterns—open the chest from a safe flank.
Walk the inner catwalks and check underside ledges for hidden caches.
In the engine room, split roles: one person handles adds, another intervenes with the generator.
Finish in the inner sanctum—the deepest chests often require a mini-boss or larger elite to be dispatched.
Tactical notes
Use line-of-sight to avoid beam sweeps and environmental hazards when accessing chests.
For generator chests, coordinate: whereas one player draws aggro, another triggers the reveal.
If a chest is blocked by a mini-boss, use crowd control and burst sequencing to ensure fast kills and minimal downtime.
Antoran treasure examples and room tactics
Outer Trench Cache: Clear in a wave; use short AoE to clean the path and open the chest quickly.
Catwalk Underplate: Drop carefully—there’s usually a narrow ledge underneath with a chest. Pull from the far end to avoid patrol clumps.
Engine Reveal Chest: Two-step mechanic—destroy or disable a generator, then approach the revealed compartment and loot quickly.
Combined full-map loop for maximum efficiency
A single-run 100% loop benefits from ordering zones so long events can complete while you are clearing other areas.
Suggested order:
Start in Krokuun: quick, low-risk chests warm you up and clear many easy spawns.
Move to Mac’Aree: while some timers tick in the first zone, use your mobility to clean platform clusters.
Finish in Antoran trenches: save defensive cooldowns and consumables for the densest rooms at the end of your loop.
Return to any event-locked chests after completing the first pass; most will be available by then.
This order reduces unnecessary backtracking and keeps your movement abilities available when platforming matters most.
Solo vs group running strategies
Solo runs
Play conservatively. Prioritize safe pulls and plan escape routes.
Self-heal and mobility are essential; classes with defensive cooldowns are easier to solo heavy Antoran chests.
Use stealth or fear mechanics to bypass impossible packs.
Small groups (2–4)
Assign specific roles: opener/scout, runner, controller.
Use pings or quick voice comms to avoid simultaneous pulls.
Split the map into sub-routes to maintain tempo and avoid zerging.
Larger groups (5+)
Break into sub-teams and assign areas to each team to avoid chaos.
Appoint a leader to watch rare timers and coordinate generator reveals.
Avoid all-group pushes into narrow rooms—these lead to wipes and wasted time.
Class-specific tricks and mobility notes
Hunters: Use disengage and misdirection to move quickly across platforms; pet taunts help isolate guards while you loot.
Rogues: Stealth and vanish are perfect for bypassing guarded chests; sprint for quick platform recovery.
Warriors/Druids: Mobility charges and defensive forms let you kite and survive Antoran mechanics.
Mages: Blink and Ice Block handle missed jumps and prevent deaths on risky platforms.
Warlocks: Demon-summons and fear provide distraction while you open chests.
Paladins/Priests: Strong self-sustain keeps you alive in heavier rooms when soloing.
Shamans: If Ghost Wolf is usable in the session, it offers huge mobility advantages for platform chains.
Handling tricky chest scenarios
Timed-event chests: Start the event only when your immediate area is clear; otherwise, you’ll waste time dealing with patrols while waiting for the event.
Rare-blocked chests: Assign one player to control the rare or tag it; then either kill or move it away. Patience is often faster than forced engagement.
Knockback or moving platforms: Observe the cycle, wait for the safe moment, then sprint. Don’t rush attempts that have long respawn penalties.
Invisible or missing chests: A short loop or server tick will often restore them. If a chest stays missing, switch servers, or return after a zone reset.
Common mistakes and how to fix them
Rushing into big packs near chests: Scout first and pull single mobs.
Using all movement CDs early: Reserve one for the final platform leap or recovery.
Opening chests during uncontrolled fights: Wait until the area is secure to avoid wasted deaths.
Not resetting glitched patrols: Move far away then return; a 20–30 second absence often clears pathing issues.
Loot expectations and reward pacing
Treasure chests on Argus typically offer gold, gear scaling to your level and Remix tier, occasional cosmetics, and sometimes crafting materials. Expect a steady accumulation of upgrades and currency rather than single-game-changing drops. For repeat farming, fast loops that target many small chests beat long fights for single big rewards.
Achievement and tracking tips
If you’re pursuing achievement credit like a chest-collection title, track your progress with screenshots or a checklist. Some achievements require unique chests looted within a single season or session; verify the achievement panel to confirm progress. A precise route reduces the chance of missing a single chest and having to retrace your steps later.
Troubleshooting — technical and spawn issues
Chest won’t open: Move slightly and try again; relogging will usually fix persistent desyncs.
Patrols won’t reset: Leave to another sub-zone and return after 20–30 seconds.
Area is contested by other players: Run at off-peak times or join a friendly group to share route duties.
Frequent wipes: Slow down, single-pull everything, and emphasize crowd control over speed.
Accessibility and UI tips
Increase UI scale to better see small platforms or narrow walkways.
Bind a single-key jump + forward macro for precision movement on difficult sequences (where macros are allowed).
Consider toggling camera distance further out to get better perspective on ledges and gaps.
Practice loop (30-minute training drill)
Krokuun warm-up (10 minutes): Clear three easy chests to practice pulls and scout patrols.
Mac’Aree jump practice (10 minutes): Rehearse the trickiest platform sequence without engaging heavy adds.
Antoran defensive run (10 minutes): Clear the engine room and inner sanctum at half-speed to rehearse generator mechanics.
Repeat the loop until the movement sequences and pull patterns feel automatic.
Micro-routine checklist before each run
Consumables: potions, food, anti-stun items.
Mobility: confirm one movement cooldown is reserved.
Interface: map and coordinates visible; track rare spawn timers mentally.
Inventory space: clear space for layering loot to avoid missed pick-ups.
FAQ
Where are the Argus treasure chests located
Chests are spread across Krokuun-style ridges, Mac’Aree platforms, and Antoran trenches, often tucked into alcoves, under platforms, or behind short mechanics. Precise placement varies slightly between Remix sessions, but the archetypal locations are consistent.
Why is a chest missing when I arrive
Missing chests are usually event-gated, temporarily replaced by a rare, or waiting on a timed spawn. Do a short loop and return—most chests reappear after nearby events conclude or after a brief map tick.
Can I solo every treasure
Most chests are soloable, though some Antoran rooms are much easier with a partner. Solo-friendly classes with mobility and self-heal are best for consistent soloing.
What abilities help platform chests most
Any instant-reposition, long jump, or slow-fall will help: Blink, Disengage, Rocket Jump–style abilities, and slow-fall or hover mechanics.
Do treasures count toward achievements
Yes; certain collections and chest counts contribute to achievements or cosmetic unlocks. Track progress per session and verify via the achievement UI.
How do I avoid pulling too many mobs near a chest
Scout, use ranged tags, and pull into narrow spaces. Stuns and roots let you control the engagement window.
Should I use consumables every run
No—save the most powerful consumables for the densest rooms and the most difficult platforming sequences to maintain steady run speed.
What if a rare blocks a chest
Assign one player to handle the rare; tag and move it or kill it quickly. Patience and timing are often faster than forced engagements that lead to wipes.
Closing and next steps
Collecting every treasure on Argus during Legion Remix is a blend of movement, scouting, and efficient routing. Use the zone loops, practice the platform sequences, and prioritize mobility and coordination.
Condensed speedrun script — 12–15 minute timed farming loop
Prep (2 minutes)
Quick checks: full health, potions/food, movement cooldown charged, hearth/location reset, inventory space.
Select fastest ground/flying mount available for the session.
Set UI: map open, waypoints placed for zone entry and final return point.
Assign roles if grouped: Scout (rare timers), Runner (mobility), Controller (crowd control/healer).
Run order (start to finish)
Zone in → Krokuun quick sweep (4 minutes)
Immediately clear the spawn area and tag visible rares.
Hit West Ridge Nook → Outpost Perimeter → Rock Arch Alcove → Southern Tech Debris in a tight clockwise loop.
Use ranged poke to pull singles; open chests on the move, never stop for extended fights.
If an event is gated, mark it and continue.
Fast transition → Mac’Aree platform chain (4 minutes)
Dash to the landing zone; sweep low platforms first to warm up jumps.
Reactor Spine → Upper Balcony Cluster → Drift Island Chain → Ruined Observation Post.
Reserve one mobility CD for final reconnects; use slow-fall or hover immediately after each risky jump if available.
If a moving-platform chest is active, time a single safe pass—don’t second-guess attempts.
Sprint → Antoran trenches finale (3–4 minutes)
Outer Trench Sweep → Fortified Mast Chamber → Inner Catwalks → Engine Room → Inner Sanctum.
Use AoE only to clear narrow corridors; split tasks: one player triggers mechanics while another holds adds.
Burn mini-bosses quickly—use defensive cooldowns only if necessary to avoid losing tempo.
Return loop & cleanup (1–2 minutes)
Quickly revisit any marked event-gated or missing chests.
If time remains, sweep Krokuun fast points again for respawned items.
Micro-timing and targets
Target per-zone time: Krokuun 4:00 | Mac’Aree 4:00 | Antoran 3:00–4:00 | Cleanup 1:00.
Keep an internal pace check: if Krokuun runs long, shave 30–60 seconds in Mac’Aree by skipping a low-yield chest.
Role playbook (2–3 players)
Scout: watches map and rares, pings event starts; opens contested chests only when safe.
Runner: highest mobility; runs to and loots platform chests first while others control adds.
Controller: uses stuns/interrupts and single-target pulls; positions patrols into chokepoints.
Consumables & cooldown management
Use mobility consumable or potion only once—save it for a missed jump recovery in Mac’Aree or a retreat in Antoran.
Pop a defensive cooldown only for unavoidable boss mechanics; otherwise rely on positioning and kiting.
Carry one emergency invis/stealth or slow-fall consumable for solo runs on tricky platforms.
Quick recovery protocol (if things go wrong)
Wipe or major delay: rally at nearest safe waypoint, reset patrols by leaving the sub-zone 10–20 seconds, then re-enter and resume at next checkpoint.
Chest missing: don’t stall—flag it and continue; most gated chests unlock by the time you complete the loop.
Player drop: redistribute roles; Runner becomes Scout if needed, Controller holds position for looters.
Speedrun tips and shave seconds
Pre-pull: ranged tag then retreat 1–2 meters before opening to avoid aggro from unseen adds.
Camera: increase distance slightly for platform sightlines.
One-button jump macro (where allowed): use for repeatable jumps to reduce mis-inputs.
Pack light: empty low-value vendor junk between loops to reduce inventory checks.
End-of-loop checklist
Confirm all flagged chests revisited.
Quick screenshot of achievement/progress if needed.
Hearth or zone out to reset for next timed loop.
