The main objective of this section is to defeat [[Captain Avarokk, the Covetous]] alongside his lieutenants, [[Grisprax, Bosun of Avarokk]], and [[R-M80, Loyal to Avarokk]] from claiming Wilhem-7's stash of treasure he has amassed. To start the fight, move close to the Cursed Engram in the center of the room to release Avarokk and his crew. It is ideal to kill both Grisprax and R-M80 as quick as possible, mainly due to their high damage output and their release of 10 Cursed Engrams upon death. After slaying both of Avarokk's right hands, look for a vandal with a Scorch Cannon to kill and take the weapon. Then, shoot into one of the three Fallen batteries around Avarokk and hold the Scorch Cannon to charge them. Upon being fully charged, the batteries will cause Cursed Engrams to fall from the ceiling, to which you should run and pick up. Then, take the Cursed Engrams to the crystal in the center of the arena and deposit them, drawing you closer to a damage phase. Upon 60 Cursed Engrams being deposited into the center crystal, Captain Avarokk will retreat to the front of the room and will initiate a damage phase. At the end of the phase, Avarokk will become immune to damage and will resummon his crew again to repeat the cycle until another damage phase is initiated. After Avarokk is defeated, the final chest will appear and the dungeon will officially end.

Scattered throughout the dungeon are twelve messages in bottles that tell the story of [[Wilhelm-7]], his ill-fated [[Fireteam]]'s journey into the loot cave, and their subsequent descent into obsession, paranoia and insanity that ultimately resulted in their final deaths.

*'''Wilhelm-7:''' It's the end of day 2, and I'm thinking that damn [[Vandal]] outsmarted us. When we chased him into the loot cave, I was sure he'd lead us right to the source of the treasure. But this just looks like... a regular cave. I haven't told the team we're lost, but [[Bismarck]]'s getting suspicious. That [[Ghost]] is too clever for his own good. Not ready to turn back though. There's treasure here... there's got to be.

I heard Bismarck talking to [[Pershing]] and [[Agadir]] when they thought I was asleep. He wants to turn back. But we can't. Not yet. The Exotics are just around the next corner. I can smell them.

*'''Wilhelm-7:''' Day 10. We're deep in the cave system now, and each cavern's richer than the last. Deciding who gets what is tougher than I thought. Pershing shot Agadir over a mid-tier pulse rifle he already had! Agadir's Ghost came out hollering, and Pershing damn near shot him too before I stepped in. There are more engrams here than a body could ever need... but nobody wants to part with their cut.

*'''Wilhelm-7:''' It's day 14, and Pershing's dead — permanently. Agadir went [[Golden Gun]] out of nowhere and shot his Ghost. Pershing tried to throw up a barrier after — hm, didn't do him any good without his Light. He died standing there like an idiot. Bismarck says we should go back to the surface, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna leave all this loot for those greedy [[Cryptarch]]s. At least there's a silver lining: Pershing had some nice gear. It's mine now.

*'''Wilhelm-7:''' Day 18. I got Agadir hauling the loot like a pack mule, using a sled I made out of old Fallen armor. Problem is, the deeper we go, the better engrams I find. The sled's fit to burst, and Agadir's about to drop. I... better be careful not to overwork him... he got much weaker after I killed his Ghost.

I know he wants to come back later with some Cryptarchs and clean the place out. Heh... I'm not falling for his tricks.
