As the team passes through an old town hall and enter back into the light, they will notice the skies have noticeably darkened with clouds, as well as a couple of Ether trails leading out of the town. The team must carefully follow it through sniper-watched streets, boobytrapped alleys and opened ravines filled with a couple squads of Scorn and even Headless Ones. The fireteam will eventually find themselves in a church's vast graveyard and will encounter their first unique enemy, Deathless Berserkers. These special, headless Scorn units are decked in full, tarnished armor, engulfed by a strange, purple aura and wield twin cleavers. These towering elites will pursue their enemies nonstop in an effort to dash them into pieces, if not project waves of {{icon|Void}} energy from their blades to assail distant targets. Similar to that of [[Revenant Baron]]s, these special Scorn units can only be killed through a specific process of unraveling hexes or destroying specialized totems. In this instance, this purple aura covered Berserker can only be killed by unraveling it's assigned hexes, which require a player standing in the hex itself, damaging the Berserker, temporarily stunning it. Once stunned, the Berserker will release a trio of Dark Ether orbs into the air, each color coded, and the Hex will be surrounded by six similar orbs circling around; a player can try to leave the hex but should be aware that the dark ether orbs can significantly damage the player if they come into contact with them. The Guardian should note the orbs released by the Berserker, and then shoot the orbs that weren't shown, thus dispelling the hex and disintegrating the Deathless Berserker and thus are allowed progression further into the church itself, where the team is now confronted with the new variant of Deathless Berserkers, now armed with a {{icon|Solar}} Magma Flayer, a [[Trace Rifle]] like weapon that the Deathless Berserker will fire in controlled and long bursts. These indigo-aura covered Berserkers can only be killed by destroying their totems that are often nearby the Berserker themselves. In order to properly destroy it, the Fireteam must pick up a buff from a mini-Screeb that the Deathless Berserker spawns, applying the ''Hexcursed'' buff for 45 seconds, in which the player must carefully look at the symbol above the totem and look around for symbols scattered across the arena. Shooting each Dark Ether symbol will slowly start to create a symbol just above the Hex itself. That player must make a shape out of three of the six symbols without using one that the Totem uses for its own glyph. While the buff may expire without consequence after those 45 seconds elapses, any wrong inputs will gravely wound the player and slow them to a crawl for approximately 5 seconds. Once the Totem is dispersed, however, the Deathless Berserker will perish, and the way forward will open. | As the team passes through an old town hall and enter back into the light, they will notice the skies have noticeably darkened with clouds, as well as a couple of Ether trails leading out of the town.

Now progressing further into the town, players will start to notice something new as they carve through Scorn forces, as something bearing the silhouette of a Hive warrior will begin to stalk them. Finally reaching the walled outskirts of the town, bedecked with impaled skeletons from a bygone age, the team will now be confronted by another new unique enemy, a ''Wereknight''. A former Guardian, these Light-charged warriors will attack the Fireteam with profound aggression and maneuverability, employing abilities signature of their former selves, with Wereknight Titans utilizing {{icon|Solar}} based attacks such as Acolytes Grenades and even slinging a miniature Hive Axe at them, Wereknight Hunters swiftly teleporting across the arena with crackling {{icon|Arc}} and impaling an area with a charged spear of lightning and Wereknight Warlocks throwing gravity wells around the arena in an effort to weaken and trap their enemies and spawning {{icon|Void}} souls around them so as to punish their attackers. Regardless of the Wereknight the Guardians face, the team must skillfully dispose of the twisted warrior and approach their Ghost. Direction from Glint, however, will tell the team to dispel of the Hive corruption seeped into the former Guardian's Ghost with their light, forcing the team to hold and interact with the infected Ghost in order to break their colleague's curse; if not addressed, the Wereknight will return to threaten the team. Once finally dealt with the team can then progress forward. Temporarily entering the town's walls, the team will now encounter three new variants of Headless Ones: an unchanged one, save for their new use of a Hive Axe, a smaller one bearing the silhouette of a [[Thrall]] and another one, bearing the silhouette of [[Swordbearer]]s and bearing a green pumpkin head instead. The latter two variants can apply stacks of ''Hivecanthropy'' to Guardians through mauling and newly specialized Grenades and [[Howler]]-like Boomers which create infectious clouds of Hive energy respectively. While all attacks deal standard damage, of course, if a total of 100 is reached, the player's Guardian will keel over, start sprouting Hive growths and become a Wereknight, the variant fitting their former form. The player will be forced to watch as their possessed body attacks their former allies until they are slain and their Ghosts are purified, in which the player's Guardian will be returned to their original form. The team continues through the wall, disposing of the Headless One and Scorn infestation within and finally reach the stormswept outside. | Now progressing further into the town, players will start to notice something new as they carve through Scorn forces, as something bearing the silhouette of a Hive warrior will begin to stalk them.

===The Storm=== | ===The Storm=== | ||
Following the dark ether trails further into the Transylvanian Wildlands, the team now exits through a wall in the tunnel, only to witness a pair of Fallen instantly vaporized by a bolt of occult lightning. The should notice now they have access to their vehicles and should now realize that they must swiftly navigate the broken highways, thick forests and scattered rural homes all the while avoiding being struck down by lethal bolts of jade green lightning. As long as anyone is standing out in the open, they will see a countdown beneath their health bar, called Gaze of the Necromancer, counting down from 30 seconds. Players should be zooming through the area as fast as possible as, if the countdown reaches 0, the Guardian will be struck by a bolt of the Lightning and killed instantly. To alleviate the hazard, there are scattered alcoves for as many as 6 Guardians to hide under to reset the countdown back to 30 and allow them to begin their run again. Sometimes, these Guardians may also find vast areas for them to hide from the storm, but will find fierce Scorn, Headless One and Wereknight opposition, and should deal with their assailants as swift and carefully as possible, as the Hivecanthropic Headless Ones should also be joining them as well. | Following the dark ether trails further into the Transylvanian Wildlands, the team now exits through a wall in the tunnel, only to witness a pair of Fallen instantly vaporized by a bolt of occult lightning.
