Ghost would accompany his still fledgling guardian as they sought out [[Eris Morn]] who had asked for them. Upon meeting the suspicious [[Hunter]], she'd guide the pair to hunt down [[Crota, Son of Oryx]]'s limbs as they are the keys to preparing [[Earth]] for his arrival. First they find and challenge [[Sardon, Fist of Crota]], then repelled [[Omnigul, Will of Crota]] from corrupting Rasputin, and then kill the [[Waker of Crota|Wakers of Crota]] and destroy the [[Soul of Crota|crystal]] holding Crota's soul, denying him access to the physical world. Eris would then ask the Guardian and their ghost to destroy Omnigul, then finish off Crota for good. | |||
Crota's mate would meet her end within the [[Jovian Complex]] and soon after Crota would meet his final end in his own Throne World at the hands of Ghost's guardian. | |||
===House of Wolves=== | ===House of Wolves=== | ||
[[Mara Sov|The Queen of the Reef]] would send out a call for guardians to come to the Reef and heed her command. The Guardian and their ghost would answer and under the guidance of [[Petra Venj]], would begin wiping out the [[House of Wolves]] and tracking down [[Skolas, Kell of Kells]]. Skolas would be successfully tracked and captured, with key Fallen leadership eliminated along the way. With [[Variks, the Loyal]]'s oversight, Skolas would be put to death in the [[Prison of Elders]] with Ghost's guardian being the one to carry it out. The execution would be successful and the House of Wolves would be irreparably broken. | |||
===The Taken | ===The Taken King=== | ||
With the Vanguard intercepting a distress signal from the [[Skyburners]] military base on [[Phobos]], Ghost accompanies the Guardian as they are sent to investigate. Upon arriving, at the base, Ghost remarks that the Cabal are evacuating at mass and realizes that they were engaging with enemies beyond the domain of [[Mars]]. Within the fortress as the Guardian discovers dead Cabal, Ghost question the true nature of their demise. Moreover, Eris Morn joins their comm channels at the behest of Zavala, where she begins to hear uncanny voices from the dark as the Guardian encounters strange pools of Darkness. Continuing deeper into the fortress, they encounter a projection of [[Oryx, the Taken King]] as they are assaulted by [[Taken]], Darkness-corrupted entities bound to his will. As the Guardian discovers a hologram of a large Hive spaceship, Ghost recognizes it as the [[Dreadnaught]] from the data gathered from the World's Grave. Furthermore, after scanning further data, Ghost discloses that [[Ta'aun, Hand of Oryx|Primus Ta'aun]] had suspended all mining operations on Phobos, and that the different Cabal Legions were facing massive casualties. Despite the hordes of Taken standing in their way, Ghost evacuates the Cabal base alongside the Guardian.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[The Coming War]]''</ref> | With the Vanguard intercepting a distress signal from the [[Skyburners]] military base on [[Phobos]], Ghost accompanies the Guardian as they are sent to investigate.

After Cayde knocked out the suspension of the security hub to prevent the maddened [[Uldren Sov]] and the Scorned Barons from escaping, the impact of the collapsing station would result in the Guardian falling down around twenty stories and being rendered briefly unconscious. Ghost would attempt to communicate with Petra and Cayde after this catastrophic occurrence, but to no avail. Following their reawakening, the Guardian would followed a trail of [[Ether]], which Ghost recognized was [[Dark Ether|distinctly]] different from ordinary Ether. Suddenly, as the Guardian encountered a group of undead Eliksni known as [[Scorn]], Ghost recognized that these creatures were once Fallen until they were warped into what they are. Delving deeper into the prison, Ghost is astonished to witness a blast of Light energy emanate across the location. Recognizing that this blast of Light was caused by the death of Cayde‘s Ghost, [[Sundance]], he quickly urged the Guardian to make their way to Cayde before it was too late. However, upon making arriving to Cayde's location, they find the Hunter Vanguard wounded on the ground with a billet wound while Uldren Sov and the Scorned Barons escape the prison. Running over to their dying friend, Ghost would despairingly inform the Guardian that he was incapable of doing anything to safe Cayde. Ghost would stand by the Guardian's side as Cayde tragically perished in their hands.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Last Call]]''</ref> | After Cayde knocked out the suspension of the security hub to prevent the maddened [[Uldren Sov]] and the Scorned Barons from escaping, the impact of the collapsing station would result in the Guardian falling down around twenty stories and being rendered briefly unconscious.

==== | ====Journey to the Tangled Shore==== | ||
With the Guardian's vow to kill Uldren and the Scorned Barons in retribution for the death of Cayde-6, Ghost would join his companion in their journey as they made their way to the [[Tangled Shore]]. Flying down to their destination aboard their ship, Ghost would inform the Guardian that the Tangled Shore was a locality for pirates, outlaws, and scavangers. Moreover, he proclaimed that they must investigate every location in the Shore in search of Cayde's killers. As the Guardian arrived to a camp inhabited by dead Fallen, Ghost would detect a strange energy signature and advise the Guardian to investigate it. Hacking into a terminal, Ghost would open an entrance leading into a cave and unveil an illusionary obstacle blocking the way forward. | |||
After the Guardian defeated Scorn forces sent forth by [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]], Ghost would scan a Servitor and come to the realization that they were attempting to corrupt the Ether within it. Swiftly afterwards, Ghost would be greeted by Petra over the comms, who would send forth Fallen allies to assist them. Furthermore, Petra would reveal that the Scorn were undead Eliksni re-animated by Fikrul. After defeating the hordes of Scorn occupying [[Thieves' Landing]], Ghost and the Guardian would begin to work alongside the Eliksni crime syndicate leader, the [[The Spider|Spider]], who had agreed to assist them in eliminating Uldren and the Scorn.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[High Plains Blues]]''</ref> | |||
As Spider would send the duo to clear the Scorned Barons out of their lair, Ghost recognized that Petra wanted to kill Uldren out of a blind rage, and would question whether they were truly killing the Awoken Prince as an action of justice. Nonetheless, the duo continued their journey as they infiltrated the Scorn's lair alongside multiple of Spider's associates. When [[Pirrha, the Rifleman]] eliminated one of Spider's associates, Ghost would notify Spider of his death, who would advise them to concern themselves with the matter. Although, the Guardian would successfully secure the stronghold, the Scorned Barons had successfully escaped, making Ghost contemplate what they would now do.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Scorned]]''</ref> | |||
====Hunting the Scorned Barons==== | |||
With the Scorn's lair now breached, the Guardian and Ghost would be tasked with hunting the Scorned Barons across the Tangled Shore. Discovering a pike belonging to the leader of the Scorn's pike gang, [[Yaviks, the Rider]], Ghost ordered the Guardian to steal her pike and travel about the Shore to lure her out. Learning that the pike was designed to alert Yaviks of any unusual usage, Ghost would begin to hack into it to strengthen its signal. After the Guardian eliminates multiple Scorn pikers, Ghost successfully triangulates Yaviks's position, allowing the Guardian to defeat the Rider.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Target: The Rider]]''</ref> | |||
Upon beginning their pursuit of [[Araskes, the Trickster]], Ghost alerts his companion that she is infamous for utilizing traps and clunkier while concealing in the shadows. When the Guardian picks up an Exotic Engram, Ghost quickly informs the Guardian that it is rigged to explode. Eventually, after the Guardian destroys the fabricators using rigged Engrams, they confront Araskes, who taunting reminds them of Cayde's death. During the Guardian's battle against Araskes, Ghost would provide them informational support by informing them both of the rigged ammo and how to destroy the door leading further until the cave until they finally slay the Trickster.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Target: The Trickster]]''</ref> | |||
During their hunt for [[Kaniks, the Mad Bomber]], Ghost would command them to pursue the Red Legion Threshers that Kaniks had spoken off. Immediately after the Guardian kills the Mad Bomber, Ghost notifies them that the bombs within the cave are rigged to explode. As the Guardian successfully defuses the bombs within the cave, Ghost assures them that the Kaniks's declaration that they were a murderer as untrue and the purpose behind this mission was to enact retribution for Cayde's death.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Target: The Mad Bomber]]''</ref> | |||
Discovering a Servitor drained of its Ether and contained within a cage, Ghost realizes that [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman]] was responsible after discerning his name on the dead Servitor. When the Guardian frees two of Spider's Servitors from containment, Ghost expresses his bewilderment that the Scorn would destroy Servitors due to the prominence they hold within the Fallen's culture. Subsequently after the Guardian defeated Reksis Vahn at the [[Quitter's Well]], Ghost indicates his disgust for the Hangman's enjoyment of pain and informs the Guardian that he wants to leave this location as soon as possible to not be reminded of Cayde's fate.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Target: The Hangman]]''</ref> | |||
During the Guardian's search for [[Hiraks, the Mindbender]], Ghost scans a synaptic amplifier to determine Hiraks's trail within a cave. While the Guardian battles hordes of Scorn and Mindbent Hive, Ghost would scan the amplifiers to track Hirak's location within a Hive Tombships. Searching through the Mindbender's file, Ghost disclose that Hiraks believed that he could create his own throne world through slaughtering other beings. This revelation left Ghost bewildered as he recalled that only Hive should be capable of this feat. When the Guardian engages with Hiraks and pursues him into his throne world, Ghost originally is baffled by its size, but recognizes that it was expanded in size due to Cayde's death. After the Guardian defeats Hiraks and escapes his collapsing throne world, Ghost aspires with hope that Cayde can rest in peace with the throne world built from his death now being destroyed.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Target: The Mindbender]]''</ref> | |||
Arriving to a sniper nest to eliminate [[Pirrha, the Rifleman]], Ghost reminds the Guardian that he is responsible for the death of Sundance and alerts them to remain cautious. When the Guardian battles Pirrha and forces him to retreat, Ghost tracks his position to the [[Jetsam of Saturn]]. As the Guardian battles Pirrha's identical decoys, Ghost states that he posses more intelligence than his appearance suggests and determines that these decoys were created using Lightweight simulation technology that the Guardian should collect. Following the Guardian's success at eliminating Pirrha, Ghost reveals that although he lies low to ensure his safety, Sundance had the same flashy, arrogant, and skills attributes as Cayde. Still distraught over her demise, Ghost proclaims that Sundance's death was unwarranted.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Target: The Rifleman]]''</ref> | |||
Finally, with seven Scorned Barons eliminated, Ghost and the Guardian begin their hunt for [[Elykris, the Machinist]]. Upon beginning their mission, Ghost notifies the Guaridna that Elykris serves as Fikrul's right hand and possess a large armada of stolen technology from various species. When the Guardian discovers a large tank in a junkyard, Ghost recognizes that it was manufactured in the Last City and complements the Machinist for her aesthetic choices. Scanning the tank, Ghost discerns that the tank's turret and nav module were not functioning and identifies potential replacement in within the junkyard. Encountering an energy source blocking the way forward, Ghost is employed by the Guardian to lower the barrier by hacking into the terminal. Detecting large containments of Dark Ether at the junkyard, Ghost eventually comes to the conclusion that Elykris preserves the remaining Dark aether with the remainder of her supplies. When Elykris is eliminated, Ghost reminds the Guardian that only Fikrul and Uldren are the only targets that remain in their quest for vengeance. Suddenly, they are greeted by Petra Venj, who informs them that she has discovered Uldren's location.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[The Machinist]]''</ref> | |||
====Breaching the Watchtower==== | |||
With the revelation that Uldren was attempting to open the gateway to the [[Dreaming City]] at the Watchtower with the belief that Mara was still alive, Ghost and the Guardian board their jumpship and begin their journey to the destination. While travelling to this location, Ghost once again reminds the Guardian that eliminating Fikrul and Uldren are the final steps to avenging Cayde. However, Ghost remarks that although Uldren deserves to face judgement for his crimes, the true reason they desire to enact their vengeance weighs just as heavily as the motivation behind their actions. Upon arriving to their location, Ghost notifies Petra that they are travelling on foot to the Watchtower, with the Queen's Wrath disclosing that she is travelling through air flight. As the Guardian approaches the entrance to the Watchtower and slays Fikrul, the Fanatic, Petra proclaims to Ghost that they must end Uldren's campaign for Cayde. When the Guardian uses rifts in the Ascendant Plane to travel further up the Watchtower, Ghost remarks that the line between both realities is thin within this Awoken outpost. Eventually, the duo approach the top of the Watchtower, where Uldren had been deceived into opening the gateway into the Dreaming City by an unknown entity and had been devoured by the [[Voice of Riven]]. Despite its remarkable power, the Guardian slays the Voice of Riven, freeing Uldren Sov from its grasp. With the sinister threat eliminated, Ghost would manifest alongside the Guardian as they retrieve the Ace of Spades and prepares to execute Uldren alongside Petra. However, Ghost would object this choice of action as he would proclaim that despite the countless atrocities Uldren had committed, the Awoken Prince should not be executed as he was now defeated. Petra would counter Ghost's argument by stating to the Guardian that she understood what Cayde would do in this situation. Regardless of his objection, Ghost would stand by the Guardian and Petra as they executed Uldren for his crimes.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Nothing Left to Say]]''</ref> | |||
====Entering the Dreaming City==== | |||
To uncover what sinister threat resided within the Dreaming City, Petra Venj that Ghost and the Guardian assist her in her investigation as she enters the gateway into the Awoken's sacred stronghold. Obeying Petra's command, the Guardian returns to the Watchtower alongside multiple of Spider's Associates. As the Guardian vanquishes the Taken forces in their way and uses the talisman to open the gateway. With the gateway opened, Ghost orders the Guardian to enter the portal and proclaims to Petra that they are coming to her aid.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[A Hum of Starlight]]''</ref> Arriving to the [[Spine of Keres]] within the Dreaming City, Ghost recalls that an unknown entity lured Uldren to the Watchtower. As Ghost reminds the Guardian of Petra's order to ensure her safety, he informs them that he will notify them of any threats and orders them to travel to a higher location to locate Petra's ship. Upon spotting Petra's ship flying across the sky, Ghost instructs the Guardian to follow the Queens Wrath's jumpship. However, they encounter three of Mara's Techeuns who had been Taken after the Battle of Saturn, who cast them into the Ascendant Plane. | |||
Traversing through this inexplicable realm once more, the Guardian and Ghost are guided out of the Ascendant Plane and back into the Dreaming City by [[Toland, the Shattered]], a member of Eris's fireteam who had been rendered an Ascendant Spirit after allowing his physical body to be destroyed by the death song of [[Ir Yût, the Deathsinger]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Moon#Ghost Fragment: The Hellmouth|Ghost Fragment: The Hellmouth]]''</ref> Eventually, after fighting through hordes of Taken, Ghost and the Guardian meet with Petra at the [[Oracle Engine]], who reveals that she knows the identity of the entity responsible for Uldren's corruption. As Petra fails at her attempts of using the Oracle Engine to contact the absent, Queen Mara due to the missing presence of an Offering, Ghost vows that he and the Guardian will retrieve this required component. | |||
Before retrieving the Offering, Ghost would begin to ask Petra questions regarding a variety of mysteries revolving around the Awoken. When Ghost questioned Petra on what corrupted Uldren and drove him to insanity, Petra merely states that there is a creature of immense power within the city and apologizes after affirming that she would have to first contact Mara before revealing more. Ghost assured Petra that they understood her decision and would ask what had happened to the remainder of the Awoken within the Dreaming City. Petra disclosed that the Awoken within the city had been evacuated before the Taken War and that Mara and her Techeuns had used their power to seal off the Watchtower. Furthermore, Petra discloses to the duo that Mara had comprised with Spider by allowing him to continue his business within 5he Tangled Shore in exchange for ensuring the Watchtower's protection. Upon asking the true nature of the Dreaming City, Petra answers Ghost's question by revealing that the Awoken have constructed multiple hidden cities throughout the Reef for different purposes, with the Dreaming City specifically serving as a place for study and worship. Comprehending Petra's explanation, Ghost then asks about the true nature of the Oracle Engine, to which Petra reveals that Mara used it to walk between realities. When Ghost asks why both her and Uldren seem to believe that Mara lives, Petra states that Uldren was not acting like himself and she believed Mara lived due to her faith that the Awoken Queen had a plan. When Petra asks them if they had seen the Techeuns, Ghost states that he was unsure but confirms they were attacked by three women during their pursuit of her. Petra affirms that those women were the Taken Techeuns that they had encountered and vows to save them if possible. | |||
Eventually after retrieving the Offering from a Scorn detachment led by [[Elikaa, Sworn to Vengeance]], Ghost confirms to Petra that they had retrieved the artifact. After the Guardian presents the Offering to the device, the Oracle Engine successfully activates as they are greeted by Mara Sov, confirming the Awoken Queen's survival. As Petra and Mara converse, it is revealed that the entity responsible for Uldren Sov's corruption was [[Riven]]; the last known [[Ahamkara]] who had been Taken by Oryx shortly after the [[Battle of Saturn]]. Ultimately, after Mara bids them farewell, Ghost asserts to Petra that she was correct, with the Queen's Wrath reaffirming his statement and ordering them to meet up with her when they were available.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[A Hum of Starlight]]''</ref> | |||
====Curse on the Dreaming City==== | |||
Although a six Guardian fireteam would free [[Kalli]] and [[Shuro Chi]] from their corruption, and later succeed in slaying Riven and cleansing her heart of its corruption, this would be revealed to be what Riven had desired. Upon transcending death, Riven uses her power to grant a wish to curse the Dreaming City between physical reality and the Ascendant Plane.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/14)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[Last Wish]]''</ref> With this new curse afflicted upon the Dreaming City, Ghost and the Guardian would begin to work alongside the forces of the Reef to eliminate the new threats within the Dreaming City. Uniting alongside two other Guardians, the duo would return to the Dreaming City with the purpose of freeing the Techeun, [[Sedia]] from her Taken corruption. When Ghost alerts Petra that they are entering into the [[Temple of Illyn]], Petra orders them to delve into the heart of the structure and free Sedia from her corruption. As the fireteam exited the Ascendant Plane, Ghost would activate the elevator while the Guardians fought off the incoming Taken forces. Eventually, as the fireteam arrive at the [[The Adytum|Adytum]], Ghost alerts them of Sedia's presence. During the battle, Ghost would warn the Guardians of the incoming debris and alert them when Sedia was attempting to flee until they finally free the Techeun from her corruption.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[The Corrupted]]''</ref> | |||
Later, the duo would be sent to assist an injured Corsair, whose relics had been stolen by the forces of [[Xivu Arath, God of War|Xivu Arath]]. When Ghost asked what the relics truly were, the Corsair disclosed that they contained information related to schematics for building weapons, and secrets to other worlds and galaxies beyond. With the Corsair proclaiming that they would lose everything if the artifacts were not reacquired, Ghost assured her that they would recapture the artifacts. When the Guardian returned with a relic, Ghost would ask the Corsair if the Hive and Taken forces had taken other relics, resulting in the Corsair revealing his suspension by revealing that they had raided the [[Hall of Names]]. Ghost assured her that they would reacquire these results and instructed her to get to safety. However, upon returning to the Corsair's location they would tragically discover that she had been slain in battle. After retrieving the final relic, Ghost would alert Petra to prepare for the relics that they were transmatting to their location. When Ghost questioned if the Corsair's body had been brought to the base, Petra assured him that Sedia had returned with her remains before thanking them for their assistance.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]] - [[The Corrupted]]''</ref> | |||
When Sedia revealed to the Guardian that the Taken were attempting to capture the Oracle Engine, Ghost would question why the Taken would be interested in a mere communications device. In response to his ignorance, Sedia disclosed that the Oracle Engine served even further uses and that it cannot be replaced if it is destroyed. With the threat that the Taken posed, Ghost assured Sedia that they understood the importance behind the device while the Techeun would respond by proclaiming that she would send forth reinforcements. As the Guardian begins to approaches the observatory, Ghost alerts Petra of the Guardian's location while the Queen's Wrath attempts to discharge reinforcements. Following the Guardian's success at recapturing the Oracle Engine from the Taken, Ghost contacts Petra and alerts her that the Observatory is clear of enemy forces and that the Oracle has not suffered any damage. Contemplating the Hive and Taken's senseless tactical assaults, Petra indicates her concern that they were being outmaneuvered by their enemies. Countering her stance regarding the purpose behind these assaults, Ghost hypothesis that these onslaughts possessed no specific purpose as the Hive and Taken were not notorious for their stradegy.{{Citation needed}} | |||
===Haunting of the Moon=== | |||
====Investigating the Disturbance==== | |||
Following a seismic disturbance event that had caused a disturbance on the Moon, Zavala would command the Guardians to eliminate the re-surfaced forces of the [[Hidden Swarm]]. Flying from the Earth to the Moon, the Guardian and Ghost transmat themselves to the Lunar Battlegrounds, where Zavala orders them to regain a foothold on the Moon before investigating the disturbance. Securing a foothold on the Lunar Battlegrounds, Ghost informs Zavala that the Hive were retreating and remarks that they were behaving irregularly. Zavala responds that their unusual behaviour was a result of their lack of leadership as a result of [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]]'s death. He also remarks that the disturbance seems to have encouraged them to resurface. To grasp the true nature behind this disturbance, Ghost informs Zavala that they will bring an end to the Hive's assault. After securing control of the entrance to the [[Sorrow's Harbor]] and vanquishing a Hive portal, Ghost informs Zavala of their success who orders them in response to assault the [[Scarlet Keep]] that the Hidden Swarm had constructed. | |||
Persisting in their expedition towards the Keep, Ghost is then contacted by [[Ikora Rey]], who informs them that the one responsible for triggering the disturbance was [[Eris Morn]] after she had ventured into the Keep in search for answers. As Ikora expressed her concern for Eris's safety, Ghost assured the Warlock Vanguard that they would find the Hidden agent. When Zavala informs them that he is sending assistance to aid them in eliminating the enemy forces, Ghost asks Zavala if the Vanguard had been familiar with the Hive's activity on the Moon before the disturbance. Zavala affirms that the Vanguard had been monitoring the Hive's progression on the Moon, however they were unable to discern the purpose behind the construction of the Scarlet Keep. | |||
As the Guardian eliminates Hive forces and begins to delve into the Scarlet Keep, Ikora discloses to Ghost that Eris had returned to the to search for evidence of a something that could pose a threat to humanity. Responding with assurance, Ghost asserts to Ikora that Eris had proven the capability of her resilience. However, Ghost abruptly loses contact with Ikora and inquires about the nature of this abnormality. Continuing further into the Scarlet Keep in search of the source behind the disturbance, the Guardian briefly encounters a strange phantom, causing Ghost to become startled by this frightening figure. As the Guardian eliminates abnormal Thralls, Ghost informs his partner that these Thralls were not ordinary Hive as they radiated an unknown energy signature. | |||
Eventually, after delving deeper into the cave, the Guardian arrives to the location of the disturbance to discover it was a [[Pyramid]] of the [[Black Fleet]] that was responsible for the [[Collapse]]. Expressing his astonishment with the Pyramid's presence, Ghost realizes that this was the potential threat that Eris was searching for during her scout mission. As the Guardian traverses across the ledges to continue further toward the Pyramid, Ghost notifies the Guardian that he felt as tho an unknown entity was seizing control of his Light. When the Guardian fails at their attempts to pass through a strange red aura, Ghost discerns that this aura was an energy spike that prevented them from proceeding forward. Instantaneously after, the peculiar red aura would transform into the [[Nightmare of Crota, Son of Oryx]], astoundingly horrifying Ghost as they had slain the Eater of Hope years ago. This would not be the only perplexing challenge as the apparition of Crota would reacquire its strength during the battle and promptly be assisted by the [[Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul]] and the [[Nightmare of the Fanatic]]. Recognizing the direness of this situation, Ghost asserts to the Guardian that they must retreat as this was a fight they were incapable of winning. Fortunately, Ghost and the Guardian would be saved as they would be transported to safety by Eris Morn.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[A Mysterious Disturbance]]''</ref> | |||

====Striking the Scarlet Keep==== | |||
Alongside a fireteam of two other Guardians, the Young Wolf launches an assault on the Scarlet Keep. Informing them of the immense power radiating from the tower of the Scarlet Keep, Eris Morn remarks that although the Hive were conducting dark rituals, this fortress may contain the Hive magic they need to construct armor that will allow them to bypass the Pyramid's defences.

Traversing further into the Keep towards a bridge leading to the tower, Ghost is astonished to spot a Daughter of Crota levitating above the bridge and informs Eris of her presence. Recognizing this Wizard as [[Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota]], Eris Morn states that she was believed to have been dead after Crota's defeat and declares that she must be responsible for the rituals taking place in the tower. As the Guardians traverse further into the Keep, Ghost alerts Eris that they have once again located Hashladûn and reveals that the Wizard was retreating deeper into the cave. Wary of Hashladûn's supposed retreat, Eris informs Ghost of her skepticism regarding the true intention of the Daughter of Crota's withdraw, but nontheless orders them to continue their persuit. | |||

====Returning to the Pit==== | |||
Returning to the camp, the duo converse with Eris Morn, who comes to the realization that the Cryptoglyphs were the artifacts that the Hidden Swarm were using to shield themselves from the Nightmares. To uncover this potent relic, Eris Morn sends them to traverse down into the [[Catacombs]], a place where the Hive study the Pyramid, and retrieve the Cryptoglyph within so they can use it to circumvent the Pyramid's defences. Delving into the Hellmouth once more and arriving at the [[Circle of Bones]], Ghost notifies the Guardian that the entrance leading to the Catacombs is on the other side of the pit. | |||
Eventually, after travelling down the dark staircase and fighting hordes of Hive, the Guardian arrives to the Catacombs. As the Guardian activates a sigil to create a bridge leading to the, Ghost apprehensively enlightens his allies that the Pyramid's influence is once again attempting to seize control of his Light. Remaining persistent in their mission, Eris pronounces that the Pyramid was merely a distraction and assures him that she will teleport them to safety once the Cryptoglyph is retrieved. Despite this assurance, Ghost continues to remain anxious of the Nightmares presence, but assures himself that they were only a diversion meant to distract them from infiltration the Pyramid. | |||
After the Guardian slays [[Besurith, Daughter of Crota]] and retrieves the Cryptoglyph, Ghost attempts to contact Eris so she can teleport them to safety.

In spite of their vulnerability, the Guardian avoids the endless hordes of Hive and emerges t from the Catacombs. Recovering contact with Eris, Ghost assures her of their safety and informs her that they had retrieved the Cryptoglyph. Eris Morn apologizes for being unable to transport them to safety due to the Pyramid's influence and orders them to bring the artifact back to her.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[In the Deep]]''</ref> | |||

Saint-14 would speak with Ghost at the H.E.L.M. to learn if his experiences with the Witness taking control of him might be similar to the [[Nessian Schism]]. Ghost admitted he's not sure, but wouldn't wish it on anyone, not even the Vex. Saint then asked if she spoke with Osiris, as he had a similar experience when his body was taken over by Savathûn, but Ghost didn't want to bring up bad memories for him. He said the first time it happened on Europa, he wasn't sure if he could trust himself anymore. Later when it happened on Neptune, he almost wished his Guardian had fired their shot and ended him. Saint told him that it is only the Vex on Nessus, and they have nothing to fear.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Lore]]: [[Veiled Threat#Lore|Veiled Threat]]''</ref> | Saint-14 would speak with Ghost at the H.E.L.M. to learn if his experiences with the Witness taking control of him might be similar to the [[Nessian Schism]].
