Transcript

Petra Venj: The Techeuns' calculations look promising so far. The next egg should be close.

Petra Venj: Be cautious. The Taken have already gained a foothold here.

Riven: They spread their influence with mindless fervor—much like Awoken royalty.

The Guardian opens and enters a portal, taking them to the Crossing

The Guardian arrives at and enters a portal, taking them to the Fetid Conduit

Riven: Wrath of the Queen, this is not your fight.

Riven: Somewhere out there, a pack of doomed corsairs waits for you.

Petra Venj: I'll be there. They know, I'll always be there.

Riven: You want to help them. You would do anything.

Petra Venj: I will. Without you.

Queen Mara Sov: Absent a commanding will, the Taken return to more… basic directives.

Queen Mara Sov: Their corruption may reshape these halls. Deal with them, before the path collapses around us.

The Guardian lights the three flames

Flamequeller Centurion appears

The Guardian defeats the Flamequeller Centurion and the Hordes of Taken

A portal opens, the Guardian enters taking them to Splintered Geode

Queen Mara Sov: You set obstacles in our path, mock our efforts—all while we seek to save your eggs.

Queen Mara Sov: Is gloating over the ruin you made of our home worth losing them forever?

Riven: You set the snare, then complain that I refuse to lay my neck within it.

Riven: To beg and weep for what you desire—that is not in me.

The Guardian enters the portal, taking them to the Lararium

The Guardian defeats Ungoloth

The Guardian retrieves Riven's egg, and transmats it to Riven.

Petra Venj: Another egg secured. Well done, Guardian.

Queen Mara Sov: The Taken aren't the only creatures attempting to thwart us.

Queen Mara Sov: Riven seeks to entangle us in another loop—to keep us chasing down her clutch while the Witness runs rampant.

Riven: If this is a game, it suits your purposes. Sealing the eggs away, buying time for your broken Warlock to cheat me.

Riven: You have my terms. See this through, or make peace with your fate.
