'''The Illusion''' is a quest that is part of '''[[The Final Days]]''' series of quests offered by [[Micah-10]].

==Steps==
{{Verbatim}}
===Step 1===
Visit Micah-10 in [[the Lost City]] in [[the Pale Heart]].

*'''Micah-10 visited'''
----
====Transcript====
''I found the general location of [[Heilung]]. She's another member of the [[Spectral Network|Watchful Eye]]. Turns out Heilung was sent on a long-term recon operation inside [[Court of Savathûn|Savathûn's throne world]]. But that was over a year ago. There's been no contact with Heilung since, and I don't know what to expect. The Hidden provided me with her last known coordinates. We'll have to start there and see what we can find. 
''

===Step 2===
Search for Ghost telemetry in mission "[[The Cunning]]" in Savathûn's throne world.

*'''Coordinates found'''
----
''Ghost: I hate being in Savathûn's throne world. I can feel her eyes on us wherever we are. Even when she was dead, it felt like she was watching us. And now... I know she is.''

====Transcript====
'''(Mission begins)'''

*'''Ghost:''' The telemetry we have for Heilung goes deep into Savathûn's throne world, and I mean deep. 
*'''Mara Sov:''' It is a palace of insidious illusions. Whatever you see, Guardian, do not trust it on the surface.
*'''Micah-10:''' Good news is, with Savathûn gone and focused on [[the Pale Heart]], her defenses are minimal. So we should be able to slip in and out easier than usual. 
*'''Mara Sov:''' One wrong move, though, and the whole of the Lucent Hive could come crashing down upon your head. 

'''The Guardian enters the Temple of the Wrathful.'''

*'''Cayde-6:''' Can anybody clue me in on exactly why [[the Traveler]] gave Savathûn the [[Light]]? 'Cause nobody's really explained that to me in a way that doesn't make me angry.
*'''Micah-10:''' Because they'd already been chosen. Long before humanity even existed, the Traveler chose the progenitors of the Hive — the Krill — to come to its side. And then [[the Witness]] interposed itself between them, turned the three siblings against their own people... all for a lie. 
*'''Cayde-6:''' But they're not those people anymore. Savathûn's... I mean, look at all the hurt she's caused. That ain't fair. That ain't right. 
*'''Micah-10:''' And therein lies the truth of the Traveler. It is not always fair; it is not always right. But it does want our survival. And in that, we are one. 
*'''Cayde-6:''' Yeah. Yeah, it... sees our potential. Couldn't abandon it. That feels right in my head; it just doesn't feel right in my heart. 
*'''Micah-10:''' That sounds a lot like life. 
*'''Cayde-6:''' Both of mine. 

'''The Guardian descends further to the Temple of the Cunning. After dealing with the [[Scorn]] and [[Termiiks, Invasive Warrant]], the Guardian triggers the Ahamkara alarm.'''

*'''Ghost:''' Guardian! It's just an illusion, but it's still deadly! 
*'''Mara Sov:''' It is more than an illusion, it is an alarm! The Lucent Hive are converging on your position, Guardian. You must get out of there! 

'''The Guardian defeats the Ahamkara illusion.'''

*'''Micah-10:''' Go! Go! Get our ass out of there, now! 
*'''Ghost:''' I've got Heilung's location! She's still here in the Throne World — in fact, I — I think she was watching us! 
*'''Micah-10:''' [sighs] Heilung! 
*'''Ghost:''' I think she fled ahead of us! It shouldn't be too hard to track her down once we get out of here. 

'''The Guardian finds a calcified statue of a Scorn holding a figure up and has their Ghost scan it before escaping.'''

*'''Ghost:''' We... we did it. [sighs[ We did it.
*'''Micah-10:''' I have a general idea where Heilung fled to; she should be easy to find. Hopefully, she'll believe it's really you, and not another trick.
*'''Ghost:''' We'll find her. Don't worry, Micah. 

'''(Mission ends)'''

===Step 3===
Search the Throne World for a damaged Ghost.
*'''Orders read'''
----
''Micah-10: You can't trust anything Savathûn says or does. That goes doubly so in a world built from the cursed weight of her soul. ''
====Notes====
Heilung can be found at the [[Sanctum of the Brood Queen]] where Savathûn is fought in [[The Ritual]] behind segmented statues of [[Hive]] [[Knight]]s and a horse.

===Step 4===
Return to the Arbor of Light in the Pale Heart to restore the Lost Ghost.

*'''Ghost Restored'''
----
''Micah-10: Heilung could use a little boost of extra Light to get her on her way. Thankfully, we have an abundant source on hand in the Arbor.''

===Step 5===
Return to the Arbor of Light to discuss next steps.

*'''Micah-10 Visited'''
----
''Micah-10: Come on back to the Arbor, we can discuss your findings.''
====Transcript====
''Savathûn's throne world is a labyrinth of lies. I'm not convinced we've seen all of it yet, and neither is Heilung. We'll have Heilung out here in the field soon enough, and the intel she's gathered on the Lucent Hive will be a major boon to us. If what Heilung has already told me is correct, Savathûn has aligned her brood against the Witness... but she's hedging her bets. She has some other plan in the works. Something she intends to action on after the Witness is defeated. She thinks its defeat is inevitable. I should be inspired by that vote of confidence, but coming from her? Nah. I'll let you know when I have more Ghost telemetry to follow up on, Guardian. Great work out there. ''
