After being teleported to a prison cell, Guardians will have to shoot specific nodes throughout the prison to release the lock and open the doors. These nodes are circular in shape and stand out from the rusted objects in the room. When shot, the nodes will make a squeaking noise, and start spinning counterclockwise. When shot again twice, will start spinning clockwise. Weapons with thermal sights also help highlight where the gears are located, such as [[CALUS Mini-Tool]].

These nodes are circular in shape and stand out from the rusted objects in the room. When shot, the nodes will start spinning counterclockwise and when shot again twice, will start spinning clockwise.  


In two of the cells, skeletons can be found on the floor. The directions of gears must spin will be determined by which hand the tally marks are next to. For example, if a player finds that one skeleton's right hand has 4 tally marks next to it, that means 4 of the wheels/gears must be spinning to he right (clockwise), and the other two must be spinning to the left (counter-clockwise). All of the gears must be spinning in order to open the prison cells.
Around corners of each cell, a set of tally marks can be seen with a number of tallies as well as a direction they face. Guardians will need to read the number of tallies and their direction and correspond that information with the nodes they need to shoot. After setting the nodes going in a certain direction, a glowing switch can be seen at the lock of one of the cells. This needs to be shot to trigger the mechanism that unlocks the cell doors. When a guardian is solo, they will have access to all prison cells and will be able to likewise access all nodes throughout the prison.

The Locus will start by summoning a set of Blighted Eyes, shielding it and attacking players. Guardians will need to shoot these eyes to trigger Imminent Wish, which causes Broken Knights to spawn on each end of the arena. Upon death, Broken Knights will drop corrupted Ether Totems, which need to be cleansed with Imminent Wish. Broken Knights will occasionally also spawn ether totems through their attacks, so it is best to wait for Broken Knights to summon their totem before killing them.

Upon attempting to cleanse totems, a howling snowstorm will occur, giving players the Biting Cold debuff. Upon reaching ten stacks, players with the debuff will be frozen and killed. Around the back of the map are torches that provide the "Shelter From The Storm" buff, which, if activated, will remove all stacks of Biting Cold within 5 seconds. Guardians will need to continue to use Imminent Wish to cleanse the totems, while also looking out for Biting Cold and using Shelter from the storm to remove Biting Cold.

After Imminent Wish ends, [[Solar]] charges will spawn in the center of the arena. These charges must be transported to any one of the four pillars in the center of the arena and lit to bring Guardians one step closer to a damage phase. Guardians should keep in mind that the amount of solar charges that spawn are influenced by however many totems are cleansed.

After the Locus is banished, the taken barrier at the back of the arena, behind the Ogre, will dissipate. Guardians should grab their loot and continue on their way to the mountain summit and the top of the castle.

'''{Mission begins}'''
 
::''[[The Guardian]] transmats onto the base of [[Windswept Crag]] and scales along the ridgeline path.''
 
*'''[[Uldren Sov|Crow]]''': Guardian! Good running tactical for you again. This is where the [[Dark Ether]] trail went cold. I—oh, Petra's calling. I'll patch her into the feed. Petra, did you lose some Scorn on [[Earth]]?
 
*'''[[Petra Venj]]''': Not exactly. [[Riven]] tells us an [[Ahamkara]] claims territory in this region.
 
*'''Crow''': I've patrolled this range dozens of times. I'd have noticed a dragon.
 
*'''Petra Venj''': They have a history of eluding you, but we'll get to the bottom of this.
 
::''The Guardian encounters [[Rathil, First Broken Knight of Fikrul]].''
 
*'''Petra Venj''': A minion of the Ahamkara here, I'd guess. Approach with caution.
 
::''After killing Rathil, the Knight makes a dying wish and [[Hefnd's Vengeance, Blighted Chimaera]] appears. The Guardian and their fireteam are immediately teleported into cells at the undercroft.'' 
 
*'''Crow''': What was that? I just got a spike of weird Taken energy.
 
*'''Petra Venj''': That was a [[Chimera]]; it must be the Ahamkara's avatar.
 
::''After escaping their cells, the Guardian exits the maze of the undercroft and continues their ascent of the ruined castle; while Hefnd's Vengeance appears to shoot at them.''
 
::''Reaching the castle grounds, the Guardian and their team confronts the [[Locus of Wailing Grief]]; engaging in Hefnd's wish magic to shield themselves from the frigid cold. They continue their ascent after defeating the massive [[Taken Ogre]] where the whispers beckon them to end the corruption.''
 
::''At the summit of the peak, the fireteam engages in a final encounter with the Taken Chimera and puts an end of Hefnd's Vengeance. After being laid to rest, an Ahamkara bone is found lying at the Guardian's feet that they collect.''
 
*'''Petra Venj''': This is all that remains of the Ahamkara, then. Even like this, in its silence, it could move worlds. The damage the Scorn could have caused had one of them realized what they possessed... We'll secure the bones and make sure this can't happen again.
 
*'''Crow''': Yeah. This makes me a little worried about the hidden cost of our deal with Riven.
 
*'''Petra Venj''': That thought has crossed my mind.
 
*'''Crow''': Petra, I've... never apologized to you. For what you're still going through.
 
*'''Petra Venj''': There's no need. It wasn't you.
 
*'''Crow''': I'm sorry. He is too. Completely. If I could wish it away...
 
*'''Petra Venj''': No. You're helping break the cycle; that should be more than enough.

===Heed The Whispers, O Vengeance Mine===
Scattered throughout the dungeon are eleven Ahamkara Bones, that tell the story of [[Hefnd]] and [[Naeem]] through the perspective of [[The Crow]] and [[Petra Venj]]. The first bone is acquired through Guardians’s first completion of the dungeon, and the last bone is found after all previous bones have been collected. Other bones can found in later clears of the dungeon after the first. Each bone is acquired through different levels of dispel, so each set of dispelled bones must be found before going back into the dungeon to collect the next tier of bones. The first and last bone do not require Dispel.
