Transcript

Ghost: Eris, we're in position. Where are we headed?

Eris Morn: Your destination lies deep within the fortress, Guardian, in the apothecary wing. There, you should find a particular shard of crystal.

Eris Morn: You might recognize it from Savathûn's time in the custody of the Awoken.

Ghost: So this crystal is a piece of her former prison.

Ghost: Which means it was likely on her when she stole the Light.

Eris Morn: Yes. My source believes the events leading to her escape are intrinsically linked to the mystery before us now.

Eris Morn: This crystal could very well be the clue we've been looking for.

The Guardian traverses the fortress

Zavala: Eris? What's the situation?

Eris Morn: The Guardian is en route to the object in question now, Commander.

Zavala: Good. You're sure this will get us the answers we need? We can't afford another dead end.

Eris Morn: The Queen of the Reef does not share information lightly.

Zavala: Mara Sov gave you the tip? You didn't mention that before.

Eris Morn: I did, in fact, mention it. To Ikora, moments before you interrupted us.

Eris Morn: She agreed there was no more reliable source on this matter than Savathûn's former captor.

Zavala: I trust Mara, but she plays her cards too close to her chests.

Zavala: If she had shared this earlier, we wouldn't be so desperate now.

Eris Morn: To win against the Hive god of cunning and lies, it's best not to show one's hand too early.

Hive appear

The Guardian defeats the Hive

Ghost: I bet this Hive sword will be just as useful as the last one. Now we need to find a lock to smash open.

Eris Morn: The Witch Queen may have recast her realm in a Lucent sheen, but remnants of Dark architecture still lurk underneath.

Zavala: And the Guardian's new ability reveals these Hidden remnants. Yes, Ikora explained.

Zavala: Why can't we use the Light to achieve the same result?

Eris Morn: The Light may be a powerful force, but when dealing with illusions, it has proven insufficient.

Eris Morn: It is the mind that must bend to see the truths hidden here.

Eris Morn: Thus, only Darkness can show the way.

Zavala: My only fear is where that way will lead us in the end.

Hive appear

Ghost: All right, Guardian, let's focus. To find the way forward, we need a sword and something to smash with it

Lightbearer Acolyte appears

The Guardian defeats a Lightbearer Acolyte.

Eris Morn: You've done well honing the gift granted to you by the Black Fleet, Guardian.

Eris Morn: Do you see now, Commander, why Ikora chose as she did?

Eris Morn: For all her doubts, she knew only Darkness, channeled by a strong mind, could bring us this far.

Zavala: I understand. My issue isn't with the call Ikora made, but the fact that she made it on her own.

Zavala: We know how Savathûn operates. She singles people out for a reason. There's no need to make her job any easier.

Zavala: And Eris, I think you know better than anyone that Darkness is not a path to be forged alone.

Eris Morn: She wasn't alone… though I take your point.

The Guardian defeats a Wizard

The entrance to the Apothecary opens

The Guardian enters. Hive appear

Ghost: This is definitely the apothecary wing. Somehow, it feels even creepier in here.

Eris Morn: Naturally. You're trespassing on the testing grounds for the Lucent Hive's most wretched experiments.

The Guardian further traverses the Apothecary

Eris Morn: Savathûn likely appointed one of her high council Wizards to keep watch over this place. Find them. The crystal is sure to be nearby.

The Guardian uses a Hive sword to destroy the material. A Deepsight orb is revealed

The Guardian interacts with the Deepsight Orb. Revealing platforms

Ghost: No signs of a crystal so far. Just rows and rows of jar filled with… is that Light? But it's tainted somehow.

Eris Morn: Savathûn has always encouraged her Wizards to push boundaries of Hive magic. It seems that hasn't changed with the Light.

Eris Morn: Proof, perhaps, that corruption has far less to do with the power… than the one channeling it.

Zavala: Or the power has permanent side effects.

Zavala: Darkness transformed Savathûn and her kin from prey to predators.

Eris Morn: Not Darkness itself, but an entity behind it corrupted the Hive… conditioned their power on an endless blood tithe. Their fate is not inevitable.

Zavala: I have no doubt that some can handle Darkness with discipline. But those who can't? They're not the only ones to pay the price.

Hive appear

Eris Morn: This is an inverted realm. Explore any and all directions, especially those you least suspect.

Darkness Zone. Respawning Restricted

Savathûn's Right Hand and Hive appear

Ghost: I think we just found the one in charge around here.

Zavala: Good. Now go and beat the whereabouts of that crystal out of them.

The Guardian fights Savathûn's Right Hand

Savathûn's Right Hand teleports away

Ghost: The Wizard just fled!

Eris Morn: Follow them. They're closing ranks around the crystal.

Ghost: There's the crystal, Guardian! Time to finish this.

The Guardian defeats Savathûn's Right Hand

The Guardian picks up the crystal. A memory is revealed

Savathûn: Devotion inspires bravery. Bravery inspires sacrifice. And sacrifice…

Ghost: That was Savathûn, all right. But what does that mean?

Eris Morn: This is the evidence we've been seeking all along. Ikora's instincts were correct after all.
