Transcript[edit]

Original[edit]

{Gameplay}

The Guardian spawns in Sorrow's Harbor, facing the entrance to the Enduring Abyss

Eris Morn: Our fate lies ahead of us. That Pyramid destroyed so many lives so long ago. Getting inside is paramount. We must find something - anything - to help us prepare for their violent return. Remember to keep your wits about you. We do not know what tricks they may play within.

The Guardian presses deeper into the Enduring Abyss, eliminating any Hidden Swarm trooper standing in these dark catacombs. After making it into the opening revealing Earth, the Ghost will begin to report being invaded by a mysterious force again.

Ghost: It's happening again. Like it's reaching inside of me.

The Guardian meets face to face with the dormant Pyramid once again.

Ghost: The Pyramid is waiting.

After pressing through their final Hive opposition of the mission, they finally circumvent the Nightmare barrier keeping them away from the Pyramid. They continue down the cliffside towards the Pyramid.

Ghost: It beckons us to come closer.

Scaling further down the cliffside, the Guardian finds themselves at a dead-end with only one platform left. Descending further, the Guardian is suddenly seized by the Pyramid and is drawn into one of its open hatches.

Ghost, seemingly possessed by the Darkness: Violence. Beauty. Truth. These things await inside. There's no turning back now.

The Guardian is pulled into the Pyramid, into a new location known as Admittance.

Ghost: Welcome. We've been waiting.

The Guardian explores the Pyramid.

Ghost: You're so close now. Just a little further.

The Guardian sees a Phantom and follows it, only to come face to face with the Nightmare of Dominus Ghaul. After taking out a third of its health, the Nightmare of Ghaul heads to the Light Extractor and is developed in a swirling column of Light before the Guardian is teleported back to the Pyramid.

Ghost: "The Red War saw so many lives lost. Saw the Light taken away so easily. In Light, there is only weakness."

The Guardian continues to explore the Pyramid, eventually finding the Nightmare of the Fanatic. The player fights the Nightmare with two-thirds of its health, but again is teleported back to the Pyramid before they can defeat him.

Ghost: "The Light abandoned Cayde. Left him for dead. Kept him from being saved. In Light, there is only failure."

The Guardian then explores the Pyramid more still and encounters the final Nightmare, the Nightmare of Crota, Son of Oryx, with only a third of its health. Using the swords taken from Swordbearer Nightmares, the Guardian is able to defeat the Nightmare of Crota.

Ghost: "One by one, Crota slaughtered many Guardians. The Light stood by, and did nothing. And a Great Disaster ensued. In Light, there is only death. Come to us. Do not be afraid."

The Guardian climbs a flight of stairs, leading to the apex of the Pyramid. There, they find a statue of a veiled figure. An Unknown Artifact desends to its base.

Ghost: "Respite lies ahead."

The Guardian inspects the Unknown Artifact, but is then teleported into a vision.

{Cutscene}

The Guardian looks around and realizes they are in the Black Garden. Behind them, a fleet of Pyramids loom above.

?: "You made it."

The Guardian turns behind them and sees...themself. They realize that the Darkness has assumed the form of them.

Darkness: "We have heard your cries for help. And soon, we will answer."

The Guardian: "Who are you?"

Darkness: "Don't you recognize us? We are not your friend. We are not your enemy. We are your...salvation."

The Guardian is then teleported into the Sanctuary to talk with Eris Morn.
