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.

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.

There are more engrams here than a body could ever need... but nobody wants to part with their cut.

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.

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