Vault Symbol 1

There are three Vault Symbols to be found in Coastal Bonescape. The first one is towards the southeastern corner of the area. South of the Waterstop location over there, you will find a house situated on the hill. You’ll know you’re in the correct spot, as there will be some Kratch infested this building. Take them out, then climb onto the roof of the house, until you can reach the top level, right before the highest roof. Circle around this spot to find the Vault Symbol on the side.

Go to the southeastern corner of Coastal Bonescape for the first symbol.

Vault Symbol 2

The other two Vault Symbols in Coastal Bonescape are found along the northern border, right in or by Plungeford. The first thing you should do is clear the place of enemies, so you can explore peacefully. Once you do, head to the northwestern corner of the location and look for a building there that has a lot of floors you can explore. This building also has a big hole on the one side, which you can enter to find yourself on the second floor. Either way, navigate to the third floor and go into the room straight ahead of you to find the Vault Symbol on the wall.

The second symbol is at Plungeford, along the northern border.

Vault Symbol 3

While still in Plungeford, go to the uppermost area of the location, not far from the checkpoint. Head east from the checkpoint and drop down to the cliff area just below you. Look north as soon as you drop down the tiny ledge to find the Vault Symbol etched into the side of the cliff.

The third symbol in Coastal Bonescape is also near Plungeford.

Vault Symbol 4

There is only a single Vault Symbol to be found in The Howl area, and it’s at The Launchpad, the faction town for the Outbounders. This one can be a little annoying to find, since it’s in the sewers part of the town. Make sure you do enough of the main story until you have the majority of the town unlocked. Go to the southwest corner of the town and look for a building that is partially colored red/brown. Right next to that building will be some big stairs going down, so take them and go through the door straight ahead.

As soon as you do, go down the little set of stairs and immediately turn to the right to find a ladder. Take this ladder down and follow the corridor to the dead end, where you should see the Vault Symbol emblazoned on the wall.

The fourth symbol is located at The Launchpad, a faction town in The Howl.

Vault Symbol 5

In the Hungering Plain area, go to Horace’s Oversight, a location you go to during the main story. Enter the compound from the western side and fight your way through the enemies, until you venture north and enter a big, open area. Here, you normally continue by climbing some stairs to the east to go inside and climb a wall. Instead of doing that, look for a door you can go into at the base of those stairs. Straight ahead, you should see the grapple prompt on a grate to your northeast. Rip it off the wall and jump into the hole, then go into the next room to find the Vault Symbol on the wall. This room also has a door you can unlock, as well as a white chest for potential guns.

Go to the Horace’s Oversight location in Hungering Plain.

Vault Symbol 6

Another one in the Hungering Plain area, but you’ll find it towards the northeastern corner. It will be near The Roaming Pasture (Ancient Crawler), so find the road in that area that leads to the activity. When you hit the checkpoint there, jump up the cliff directly west of it, then keep going in that direction to find a ruined, wooden building. Jump up to the second level of the building to find the Vault Symbol.

The second symbol in Hungering Plain is in the northeastern corner, by the Ancient Crawler.

Vault Symbol 7

In the Idolator’s Noose area of the map, locate Rosemary’s Reserve, a location with Ripper enemies. To the east of there is an unmarked village that is where you can start the Ready to Blow sidequest. The symbol is in the building in the southeastern corner, but you’ll need to jump onto the roof to access it. That’s not too difficult, though, as a simple double jump will get you there. Once on the roof, look for the opening up there and go through it to find a small room, as well as the Vault Symbol.

Go to the unmarked village to the east of Rosemary’s Reserve for the seventh symbol.

Vault Symbol 8

The other symbol in Idolator’s Noose is found in the southwestern corner, just west of the Rattlehead Coast location on the map. There is a small encampment of Rippers here, so clear them out before doing anything. Once the coast is clear, locate the tallest building in the area and jump up the little platform there to get on the eastern side. Look up to find
