SINISTER VAULTS - Completed Guides for Threat Levels 3, 4, 5 [ALL ZONES - Infographic]

And they’re finally all done! Thanks to everyone who helped submit data. It’s always awesome to see everyone coming together to help. The quest will remain open until May 3rd 10am PST, so you still have plenty of time to run paths and get more keys from the calendar. You will have 58 total over the event (56 from the calendar, and then the two set via compensation a few days ago). There are no Exploration rewards, you can pick up chests from other difficulties. Path rewards do not respawn. Happy side questing.

To answer your question SummonerNR, it was not trial and error.

Green envelopes - the code is based on increasing number of chip icons. The two discards have eye icons.

Purple envelopes- the code is based on increasing number of eye icons. The two discards have bomb and spider icons

Red envelopes - little more complicated but #1 is easy as the only hint with one icon. Second spot can be #5 or #9 envelope because they both have two icons but the reason #9 was chosen because the eye icon has a progression with #2 envelope that has 3 icons. Additionally, eye icons were the default one for the previous set of clues (purple envelopes). Then finally #5 envelope completes the progression by adding a spider icon to the bomb icon and making it four total icons.

Once you have the three codes, the discards need to be rearranged. That i explained in the earlier thread and is been quoted by you above.

To summarize, yes you needed all three codes completed before you can use the remaining discards to find the final clue.

Could very well be, but still circumstantial to me.
Especially the 3rd place, being either 2 or 4. Both contain the previous week's Chip and Eye. Both introduce a new icon, either Bomb or Spider (which were not part of any other number before), and BOTH of those new icons would appear together in the very final position (the 4-icon number 5)

Actually looking at this Inventory Pic of mine again (not sure if everyone's items are ordered in this arrangement or not), the better logic might be that *ALL* the leftover ones are arranged in inventory AFTER the first 4 numbers for that week.
Especially since the real 4 items (code #’s) each week are also arranged in sequential order within their week too.
1st digit of code is listed 1st in inventory.
2nd digit of code is listed next in inventory. Etc, etc.
Leftover 2 items are listed after those 1st four items in each week's grouping.

Is everyone's inventory arranged in this order ??

Is everyone's inventory arranged in this order ??

Not at all, mine are condensed.
Edit: on second look, they may be the same. I don’t have the class cores that are being inserted in between.

What about cav shards in TL1 and TL2?

Here’s a copy of a comment from xirnef on Reddit:

“So I think we have all the T1 and T2 Sinister Shards nailed down:

T1: x10,000 Sinister Shards Total

Stryfe/Ikaris (zone 2) - x2500 Sinister Shards

Chavez/Duck (zone 3) - x2500 Sinister Shards

Sinister/Tasky (zone 4) - x5000 Sinister Shards

T2: x12,000 Sinister Shards Total

Spidey/Red Skull (zone 1) - x3000 Sinister Shards

Chavez/Duck path (zone 3) - x3000 Sinister Shards

Rogue/Loki (zone 4) - x6000 Sinister Shards”

Bluestone

Anyone know where the sinister shards are in t2 since the rogue path seems to be 4* shards

Good work in deciphering and displaying this but this kind of SQ is SO tiresome

Good work in deciphering and displaying this but this kind of SQ is SO tiresome

So why an hour after your comment here, if you couldn’t get the Code to work for you apparently, did you pull up a different, very early thread (last comment way back on April 9) to comment over there that you couldn’t get the code to work ?

Unlock code doesn’t work and agree that this side quest is absolute pants

Just continue in here where a lot more people have eyes on this that could maybe help you.

Did you continue to try the same code from first vault for the subsequent vaults too ? That won’t work.
Each succeeding vault have it's own code, all of which are detailed in the initial Infographics at top of this thread.
