Near the center pit, three groups of two icons will appear to give six in total. Heads (two-headed snake), Smile (a snake in a smiley face pattern), Eight (an eight sign), and Infinite (the infinity symbol). One icon will not be shown. There will be a matching plate for each of the icons (I.e. Heads, Eights, and Smiles being shown. Two of each Smile, Head, and Eight plates must be captured. Each plate will have their symbol above or near the side of the plate. Each plate is divided into three sections. Two [[Taken]] [[Blight]] bombs will be above two of the sections. Stand on top of the empty section of the plate and defend as [[Taken Thrall]] attempt to overwhelm the team. If a plate is held long enough, a [[Ravenous Taken Knight]] will spawn. Killing the Taken Knight is required to "complete" a symbol. |

Weapons that do not rely on precision damage are recommended, due to Kalli having a small head, unless your fireteam is using Divinity. After a short while, she will cast her weapon which will wipe the team. Before the spell is complete, each Guardian must run into one of the open doors on the side of the pit below Kalli, which are tied to the Ravenous Taken Knights. Ensure that you kill a the Knights to guarantee that a door will be open, or you will be wiped.

| |
|
| |
| *'''[[Petra Venj]]''': For generations, the [[Dreaming City]] housed one of the [[Awoken]]'s most closely guarded secrets. She is known as [[Riven]] — Riven of a Thousand Voices. The last known [[Ahamkara]]. She has been [[Taken]]. And her death is your calling.
| |
|
| |
| ''Mission begins, the team enters the opened doors leading to the Blind Well''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Siren of Riven''': You are finally here. Brother slayer. Spawn killer. All that strength and you're still nothing but a retainer to the Awoken Queen. You could be so much more... all you need do is wish it. Come. I would quite like to meet you.
| |
|
| |
| ''A statue turns, allowing the fireteam to progress into the Tower of Opened Eyes. They approach an open arena with a corrupted Kalli at its center.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Siren of Riven''': Have you come to free the Witches? They will resist. Darkness is their shape now.
| |
|
| |
| ''The Guardians engage and free Kalli from her Taken corruption''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Kalli''': You have my thanks, Guardians, but my sister remains enthralled. Without Shuro Chi, we cannot defeat Riven. Find her, save her. And know this: Riven WILL try to seduce you. When she speaks... Do. Not. Listen.
| |
|
| |
| ''The Guardians progress onward''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Siren of Riven''': I can give you anything. What is it you want? Weapons? Glory? Peace? Or is it simpler than that?
| |
|
| |
| ''The Guardians advance to the First Spire, traversing the structure of the bridge to make it to the other side. After rallying, the team approaches the door, encountering Shuro Chi and an onslaught of Taken''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Siren of Riven''': Oh ho ho. You are so tiny. Yet you continue to make enemies of so many gods and monsters. You want battle. I'll give you war!
| |
|
| |
| ''The Guardians pursue and free Shuro Chi''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Shuro Chi''': You saved my sister... Thank you. Ahamkara feed on desire. Your desires could feed a nation of such beasts. They would grow till they shadowed the sun. Kill it. Rip out its heart. Bring it to us. We will purify it. Only then will Riven be contained.
| |
|
| |
| ''The fireteam progresses to the Keep of Voices.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Siren of Riven''': You sully the sacred architecture of a culture you cannot understand. All so you can say you won today. Could that be what you're driving toward? Do you have the audacity to wish for my death? Perhaps you and I could work together.
| |
|
| |
| ''The fireteam advances through the winding chambers and vistas and come across a broken bridge and a portal leading to the Ascendant Plane''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Siren of Riven''': The Awoken kept me here so long. A better fate than my kin suffered. Ah! But paradise is a prison when you cannot leave. I would so love to repay the hospitality of those who used my words to carve this city into the screaming surface of reality.
| |
|
| |
| ''After navigating the twisted realm, the Guardians reach the other side of the ravaged bridge and escape back into reality, encountering a dormant Morgeth''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Siren of Riven''': There is no end to the Taken. You have stolen more from them than they could have ever take from you. You are destined to fight forever.
| |
|
| |
| ''The team defeat Morgeth and are allowed ingress into the Keep''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Siren of Riven''': You don't hesitate to reach into the Deep. Your kind is so brave. Those with conviction pair best with my kind. Like you. Like the Awoken prince. Shall we be friends?
| |
|
| |
| ''Entering the keep itself, the Guardians ascend its peak and land in the Hall of Two Souls''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Siren of Riven''': You're so close, friend. Find me. Kill me. My heart is yours.
| |
|
| |
| ''The Guardians bypass the Vault's security and enter the Queenswalk. Descending into Riven's chamber, the team faces off against the Taken Ahamkara. The fireteam slays the wish-dragon and stills her corrupt heart.''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Siren of Riven''': Ahh, I've waited so long to fulfill one last wish...
| |
|
| |
| *'''Kalli''': Fetch the heart! Hurry!
| |
|
| |
| ''The team backtrack through Queenswalk with Riven's heart in tow, slaying Taken assailants and sheltering from the heart's creeping darkness. As the team is drawn into the heart one by one, the remaining Guardian(s) descend back into the keep's main chamber.''
| |
|
| |
| '''Kalli''': I am glad you did not heed her words. We will finish this.
| |
|
| |
| ''Depositing the heart before the freed Techeuns, the trapped Guardians are freed and the Heart glows''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Kalli''': Riven, of a Thousand Voices, architect of this city... Return to us – for the sake of plans to come.
| |
|
| |
| ''The Techeuns purify the heart''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Kalli''': It is done. We shall meet you on the other side.
| |
|
| |
| ''Loot chests spawn and the mission completes''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Siren of Riven''': I thought they'd never leave. You and I are not done. We're inseparable now. Through your actions, we've forged an age-old bond between my kind and yours. One wish granted deserves another. And I cannot wait to show you what SHE asked for. O murderer mine...
| |
|
| |
| ''Mission ends''
| |
|
| |
| ''[https://youtu.be/V8_CT2BzKy4 {Cutscene}]''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Petra Venj''': My Queen commanded me to slay a beast. We could not do it alone, so I turned to the Guardians. Six brave heroes came to destroy my people's greatest secret… Riven. The last known Ahamkara. A creature of immense power and cunning. The Guardians killed Riven and ripped out her heart. But Ahamkara transcend death. They can transform desire into reality… even when they are nothing but bone and dust. I should have known that Riven would grant one last wish… one last curse. Now, the Dreaming City has been Taken. I opened the gates. I ordered the attack. I… should have known.
| |
|
| |
| ===Optional Dialogue===
| |
| Upon entering the Tower of Opened Eyes, the Guardians can interact with a wish wall. Invoking the Ninth or Tenth wish will replace the Siren of Riven's dialogue with Failsafe and Drifter respectively.
| |
|
| |
| '''''The Ninth Wish is invoked'''''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Warning! Warning! Sensors are showing... showing...
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': I... have a body?
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Captain! Did you wish for me to have a body?! Having a body has been my life's goal for the past 895 days! Stand by... processing new information... Captain. Is this... YOUR body?
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Gross.
| |
|
| |
| ''The fireteam summon Shuro Chi''
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Another humanoid female! Is she friend or foe?
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Either way... I'm gonna shoot her.
| |
|
| |
| ''Shuro Chi is freed''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': I was aware that my captain's occupational duties included shooting "bad guys" and rescuing "good guys." I did not know that shooting and rescuing could be the same thing!
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': That's... confusing.
| |
|
| |
| ''The Ascendant portal is approached''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Already I am experiencing many new wonders! I spent the last [REDACTED] years staring at my own crumbling body! Now I am appreciating alien architecture!
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': I... didn't know the world could be this... beautiful...
| |
|
| |
| ''Morgeth is approached''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': I also did not know the world could be this ugly!
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': At least I get to shoot it.
| |
|
| |
| ''Morgeth is defeated''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Warning... warning... I just defied 37 different laws of physics.
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Coo-oo-ool.
| |
|
| |
| ''The team enters the Hall of Two Souls''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Is there a door in this chamber? I want to go through a door!
| |
|
| |
| ''The Vault is opened''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': I went through a door!
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Next up... I wanna get brain freeze.
| |
|
| |
| ''Queenswalk is entered''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': I'm detecting a very large organic creature!
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': I don't think I wanna be a Guardian anymore...
| |
|
| |
| ''Riven is defeated''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Calculating feelings! Please stand by! I feel... I feel...
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': ...like a badass.
| |
|
| |
| ''Mission complete''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': I am so thankful to the captain for granting me a body! But... what I really want is a body of my own.
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Yours is gross/weird. So much sweat./Why does a robot need to eat?
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': I wish my captain and I were returned to our own bodies!
| |
| *'''Failsafe''': Goodbye, muscles...
| |
|
| |
| '''''The Tenth Wish is invoked'''''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Hey, what the hell is this? Is that you, brother/sister? Oh. Heh. I see. You've made a friend. A friend you can wish to. Haven't you heard? Those things never give you what you ask for. You're crazy, my friend. Seems like I'm stuck in your head for a while. What're we doin' today? Huntin' your wish friend? I'm game! Woo!
| |
|
| |
| ''Kalli is saved''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Hey, you did great back there. Were those Tech Witches? Been a long time since I seen one o' them up close. You hang with strange company, my friend.
| |
|
| |
| ''Shuro Chi is summoned''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Dreaming City's easy on the eyes. That's what's messed up about it, if the stories of its construction are true.
| |
|
| |
| ''Shuro Chi is freed''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': I don't ever wanna mess with you when you're in this mood!
| |
|
| |
| ''The fireteam approach the Keep''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': And hey, that Tech Witch sure is a somber lady, huh? "Tear out its heart"? Whew. Terrifying. I like her style.
| |
|
| |
| ''The Ascendant portal is approached''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': That... is one beautiful prison. The Reefborn Awoken, man. You had to have some stones to do what some of 'em did. And now she's free. You and this Ahamkara have a bond now, don't you? I can feel it. You be careful, brother/sister.
| |
|
| |
| ''Morgeth is approached''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Well, lookit that. Another Taken wants you dead. Shucks. They'll never forget what you did to their king. You show 'em how little that means to you, yeah?
| |
|
| |
| ''Morgeth is defeated''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Woo-oo! You really gave that Ogre a beating! And you used his own power to do it. Here I thought you City folk were soft. Come play Gambit some time. We'll have some fun.
| |
|
| |
| ''The team enters the Hall of Two Souls''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Is that a locked vault? I love locked vaults. What's inside? Come on, open it.
| |
|
| |
| ''Queenswalk is entered''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Six Lights in a dark place. Really brings me back.
| |
|
| |
| ''Riven is defeated''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Woo-hoo-hoo! All right, all right, all right! Let's see what kind of treasure this Riven's been sleepin' on.
| |
|
| |
| ''Mission complete''
| |
|
| |
| *'''Drifter''': Oh, man. You live a hard life, brother/sister. You think those Techeun knew I was here? If they did, I couldn't tell. Story o' my life. I started today wonderin' what you're like out here, away from Gambit. And now I know; you are insane. If I wake up in your head again tomorrow, I'm taking a bullet. And so is my Ghost. Naw, haha. I dig it.
