Ghost: Escaped inmates are going to town on the Reef. We’re gonna deal with it at the source.
*'''Drifter:''' That's the Warden's Servitor that went insane so as Variks left the building. Must have some codependency issues. It's running the whole facility on a subroutine it calls "Challenge of the Elders".

'''Or'''
*'''Ghost:''' Is that Variks?


Drifter: Hey, it’s the Chosen One and his/her Ghost. Still trying to save the universe?
*'''Drifter:''' Haha,hell no. Variks left his pet Servitor behind and the thing went nuts, thinks it IS him. It's running the whole prison through some kinda combat drill.

Transcript[edit]

(Mission Begins)

  • Drifter: How you livin' hotshot? I thought you and your Ghost might come back.
  • Ghost: Escaped inmates are going to town on the Reef. We're gonna deal with it at the source.
  • Drifter: Huh. Then you'll wanna take out the Warden Servitor. It's goin' haywire.

Or alternatively

  • Drifter: Hey, it's the Chosen One and his/her Ghost. Still trying to save the universe?
  • Ghost: Just the Reef. Escaped inmates are destabilizing the region.
  • Drifter: Ha. Well, don't let me stop you. You'll want to kill the Warden's Servitor. Thing's gone wackadoo.

The Guardians fight through a small army of Vex

  • Warden AI: Prison of Elders welcomes you. Impress your Warden, yes?
  • Ghost: I thought Variks took off.
  • Drifter: That's the Warden's Servitor that went insane so as Variks left the building. Must have some codependency issues. It's running the whole facility on a subroutine it calls "Challenge of the Elders".

Or alternatively

  • Ghost: Is that Variks?
  • Drifter: Haha,hell no. Variks left his pet Servitor behind and the thing went nuts, thinks it IS him. It's running the whole prison through some kinda combat drill.

The Guardians open a door with a Prison transport stationed ahead. The Ghost scans a terminal nearby

  • Ghost: I'll get the prisoner transport our of your way. And maybe find the lights.

Or alternatively

  • Ghost: Let's move this prisoner transport. The cellblocks are up ahead.

The prisoner transport sparks and moves out of the way

  • Ghost: Drifter, you seem like you've got some intel on this place. How many cellblocks did they open?
  • Drifter: Let's just say you're in for the biggest gunfight to ever happen in prison. I'm a little jealous.

Or alternatively

  • Ghost: The Warden's Servitor blocked me from shutting down the whole prisoner transport system - so watch the rails.
  • Drifter: Long road ahead of ya. We won't get this prison in order if we don't find that Servitor. And put a bullet in it.
  • Warden AI: Incoming.

The Guardians make their way through the transport's tunnels, avoiding oncoming prisoner transports as they battle Vex and Cabal along the way

  • Drifter: This here is a Vex cellblock. I didn't think time-travelling robots would form gangs in prison, but there are Vex here of multiple subtypes, slaved to a single mind.

Or alternatively

  • Drifter: Next up is a cellblock for the Vex. You ever see as Vex eat? Heard that creamy center is organic. I been watching them from out there, but haven't seen it myself.

Or alternatively

  • Drifter: This is one o' the Vex cellblocks. The Awoken dragged all kinds of subtypes outta their 'hoods. The ones that survived are some tough sons.
  • Warden AI: Important target Guardian. Kill or be killed.

The Guardians defeat Apaktos, Oxidizing Mind and head to Prison of Elders Arena

  • Warden AI: Cabal war machine is on the march.
  • Ghost: There were Red Legion in here? Good. I hope they stewed.
  • Drifter: They started the war, but they've lost everything.

Or alternatively

  • Ghost: So the Reef captured some Red Legion…
  • Drifter: You left the Cabal scattered after the Red War. Reef scooped some up. They took your Tower? You took their dignity.

Or alternatively

  • Ghost: Red Legion? What've they been up to after the war?
  • Drifter: Getting stumped. The Cabal seat of power now resides in orbit 'round Nessus. In a giant fish.

The Guardians battle their way through the Cabal and make their way to the Fallen arena. They fight through Cabal and Vex in the first round.

  • Warden AI: Round one.
  • Warden AI: Kill them dead, Guardian.

After defeating the Cabal and Vex, the Guardians dismantle the mines in the second round.

  • Warden AI: They are dead. You are not.
  • Warden AI: Round two.
  • Warden AI: Dismantle mines, yes? Or, you die.

After disarming the mines, the Warden summons a Cabal mini-boss in the final round.

  • Warden AI: Victory. Well-earned.

Ta'aul, Disgraced Colossus is summoned

  • Warden AI: You face the final round.
  • Warden AI: A mighty Cabal warrior challenges you.

Ta'aul, Disgraced Colossus is defeated. The Guardians make their way to the airlock. They drop down to a series of platforms until they reach a room of riches stripped bare.

  • Warden AI: Treasure awaits below. It calls to you, yes? Stand strong. You survived the Prison of Elders. Retreat to airlock. You fought. you won. Your treasure awaits.

Or alternatively

Trivia[edit]

  • Warden of Nothing features strong callbacks to the House of Wolves expansion, featuring soundtracks and the entire Fallen arena from the original Prison of Elders activity.
  • For the purposes of bounties and quests, Warden of Nothing is considered to be in the Tangled Shore. With the release of The Witch Queen expansion, its node was moved to the Dreaming City and now counts as that location for bounties. However, after returning to orbit, the background is still that of the Tangled Shore.
  • All the enemies encountered in the strike used to have unique designations, but the great majority were renamed to their basic version with the release of Beyond Light.
  • This is the only Nightfall Strike to feature all three Champion type enemies.
