 '''''Mission Starts'''''
-*'''[[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]]''': [Laughs Ominously]
+'''[[Cataclysm]], [[Essence]]'''
+'''''The Team flies to Essence, the derelict [[Pyramid]] of the [[Black Fleet]], and lands in Cataclysm.'''''
+*'''[[Nezarec, Final God of Pain|Nezarec]]''': [laughs ominously]
 '''''The Guardians reach the ledge overlooking a bud of a [[Tree of Silver Wings]].'''''
 *'''Nezarec''': Oh, you have arrived. Good.
-'''''The Guardians approach the Cataclysm encounter.'''''
+'''''The Guardians approach the Cataclysm encounter; where a sarcophagus floats in the center with the head of Nezarec entombed.'''''
 *'''Nezarec''': I'm glad my messages reached you. I considered you might leave me here to rot, but we both know you Guardians can't resist unanswered questions. Or a challenge.
+'''''An onslaught of foes, including [[Aspirant of Nezarec|Aspirants of Nezarec]], arrive to challenge the Guardians. The team, inflicted with Sweeping Terror, fight for control by connecting Nodes of Splendor with Fields of Light.'''''
+:'''An adherent of torment has appeared'''
+'''''Periodically, [[Cavum of Nezarec]] arrive to join the onslaught.'''''
+:'''Pain calls forth a Tormentor'''
+'''''The Guardians defeat the Cavum of Nezarec to delay their demise.'''''
+:'''His hatred is momentarily delayed…'''
+'''''The Sweeping Terror continues after a moment of respite.'''''
+:'''His hatred blooms once more…'''
+''If the Sweeping Terror is not stopped, Nezarec will send out a large pulse of '''Overwhelming Energy''' from his encasement, killing the fireteam.''
+''If the nodes are disrupted:''
+:'''Nodes of splendor have been disrupted'''
+'''''The Team successfully connect the Fields of Light together.'''''
+:'''His hatred halts…'''
 '''''After successfully completing Cataclysm.'''''
-*'''Nezarec''': Oh, these sensations! The tingle in my fingertips! This power is familiar, yet... different. Oh, it's invigorating!
+*'''Nezarec''': Oh, these sensations! The tingle in my fingertips! This power is familiar, yet... different. Oh, it's invigorating.
+'''[[Scission]], Essence'''
 '''''The Team progresses through Scission, halfway through the transition.'''''
-*'''Nezarec''': If I had a modicum of my original power, I'd have killed one or three of those citizens to expedite your arrival. Instead, I suffer from the incompetence of these... [[Shadow Legion|new recruits]].
+*'''Nezarec''': If I had a modicum of my original power, I'd have killed one—or three—of those [[Neomuna|citizens]] to expedite your arrival. Instead, I suffer from the incompetence of these... [[Shadow Legion|new recruits]].
+'''''The Team attempt to reach the entrance of the root. The Guardians empower Nodes of Splendor and Decay with Fields of Light and Fluxes of Darkness, respectively. In response, they are inflicted with an Imminent Expulsion.'''''<br>
+'''''As the nodes on this level are activated, [[Redolence of Decay]] and [[Redolence of Splendor]] arrive.'''''
+:'''Your ascent is blocked by interlopers'''
+'''''The Guardians break through their defenses using a Flux of Darkness or Field of Light, respectively. They continue to the next level; repeating the process.'''''
+:'''Energy travels upwards, beckoning you'''
+''If the nodes are not activated in time, the sides of the Pyramid are enveloped in viscous Darkness that pushes outwards; killing the fireteam.''
+''If the nodes are disrupted:''
+:'''Nodes of splendor have been disrupted'''
+:'''Nodes of decay have been disrupted'''
+'''''The Team successfully open the way into the root, where they overcharge it with Light and Darkness.'''''
+'''Cataclysm, Essence'''
 '''''After completing Scission, the team returns to an overgrown Cataclysm.'''''
-*'''Nezarec''': Mmm... I can hear the shifting roots across the Pyramid's architecture. Taste the para causality on my tongue. Progress.
+*'''Nezarec''': Mmm... I can hear the shifting roots across the Pyramid's architecture. Taste the [[paracausality]] on my tongue. Progress.
+'''''With his growing power, Nezarec sends out pulses of Overwhelming Energy across the Pyramid. The Guardians combine a Field of Light with a Flux of Darkness to create Darkness's Refuge; shielding them.'''''<br>
 '''''The Fireteam progresses through the overgrown Cataclysm area.'''''
-*'''Nezarec''': After [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|that witch]] killed me and cursed my remains, I assume that's when she whisked away the [[The Veil|Veil]] to [[Neptune]]. The coveted key to the Witness's plans... and the sapid secret of its first victims. As much as I loathe her, I must applaud her efforts.

The coveted key to the [[The Witness|Witness's]] [[Final Shape|plans]]... and the sapid secret of its [[Precursors (Species)|first victims]]. As much as I loathe her, I must applaud her efforts.
 '''''The Fireteam enters a temple-like complex.'''''
-*'''Nezarec''': As I've gathered, there was barely anything left of me for the Witness to collect. Hmm... has anyone suffered from the pieces they took? I wonder if I could track them down. Do you happen to know who took them. Consider the information reparations for my untimely death.
+*'''Nezarec''': As I've gathered, there was [[Search for Nezarec's Relics|barely anything left]] of me for the Witness to collect. Hmm... has [[Mithrax|anyone]] suffered from the pieces they took? I wonder if I could track them down. Do you happen to know who took them? Consider the information reparations for my untimely death.
 '''''One of the Guardians bypasses the temple and approaches [[Macrocosm]].'''''
 *'''Nezarec''': Lightbearers have always seemed... efficient at creating their own chaos. Your [[Warlord]]s did a masterful job of that. Do you enjoy hearing the final screams of your enemies? Screams are the most delicious when they're wrenched directly from the throat. An echo that reverberates through eternity. Aah... beautiful.
+'''Macrocosm, Essence'''
 '''''The Guardians enter the Macrocosm complex and advance through it, encountering [[Zo'aurc, Explicator of Planets]] and his entourage of [[Psion]]s.'''''
 *'''Nezarec''': Tear that useless sack of meat apart for me, won't you? He hasn't accomplished nearly as much as you in your short time here.
+'''''The Guardians defeat [[Terrestrial Lieutenant]]s to gain Planetary Insight; revealing which planets are imbued with Light or taken by Darkness. They align the planets to their proper paracausality.'''''
+:'''The indexed planets reveal themselves'''
+'''''The Team attunes the indexed planets with Light or Darkness; opening up the Explicator's defenses.'''''
+:'''The Explicator shifts focus'''
+'''''With the Explicator's influence expunged, the Team overcharges the root once more; fueling Nezarec's return.'''''
+'''Cataclysm, Essence'''
 '''''After defeating Zo'aurc and opening the floral door, the Fireteam approaches a fully grown Cataclysm.'''''
 *'''Nezarec''': Such tenacious adventurers. It's fascinating to see the lengths you'll go to reach your goals. Emissaries of pain and death. It's inspiring.
 '''''The fireteam begins their approach to the overgrown spike where Nezarec rests.'''''
 *'''Nezarec''': I have been trapped for a very long time. Such a cruel fate for simply fulfilling my duties... don't you think? Free me. I want to experience this world with my... [[Light|new perspective]].
-'''''Nezarec's spike is approached.'''''
+'''''As Nezarec's spike is approached, the Final God of Pain finally breaks free.'''''
 *'''Nezarec''': [laughs maniacally] Oh, a shame we can't entertain our one-sided conversations further! Ah, but this... this feels too good. Guardians! Let me devour your fear!
+'''''Nezarec focuses his Hatred on a Guardian shooting his chest; allowing their allies to focus on connecting the Nodes.'''''<br>
+'''''Periodically, Nezarec will send out Overwhelming Resonance or Overwhelming Light. The Guardians create Darkness's Refuge or Light's Refuge, respectively, to endure the attack.'''''
+'''''The Team connects Nodes of Splendor and Decay; using Fields of Light and Fluxes of Darkness against Nezarec.'''''<br>
+'''''They create a large orange beam from the sarcophagus to attack Nezarec; making him vulnerable.'''''
 '''''After a hectic battle with Nezarec and turning the Light and Dark against him, the fireteam vanquishes Nezarec.'''''
 *'''Nezarec''': My memory will never extinguish. In your calmest moments, your deepest slumber... you will remember me, Guardians.
