The good news is that the Vault location for their corresponding Totem Key is not randomized. The Tall Tales in the Shores of Gold storyline are remarkably long and dynamic quests, and Totem Keys you receive on these quests will be somewhat random. Once you find the Vault, you will have to place the Totem Key on the vaults pedestal, and then the door will unlock. During a few Tall Tales in the Shores of Gold storyline, you will receive a Totem Key that belongs to a corresponding vault. A recurring component to the Shores of Gold storyline is finding totem vaults.
