Steps

"And my vanquisher will read that book, seeking the weapon, and they will come to understand me, where I have been and where I was going."The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

Step 1

You've forged a tenuous alliance with Eramis now that you've freed her from Vanguard custody. Spider is reaching out to you on the radio.

• Spider is trying to reach you on radio. Head to his bar to intercept a message.
  • Message heard

---

• The Spider: Welcome to my most lucrative customer! I hear your Scorn hunt hit a dead end, so to speak. That might be a problem I can solve. My web vibrates with tales of something festering in the Reef. Not a revival like the Tomb of Elders. Hm. Something fresh. Sounds like Fikrul's building a fiefdom on my old turf. He was always high-minded. As an Archon, he was forever bloviating on mystical matters. "Kaliks" this and "the Great Machine" that. Look where all his enlightenment got him in the end. Huh! Preaching to a choir of rotting corpses. But that's the way of fanatics. Trying to remake the world at everyone else's expense. [scoffs] I can't imagine anything worse for business. I — prefer my customers alive. I suggest you pay this new Scorn encampment a visit. It might be the source of all our problems… and their solutions.

Step 2

Now that Eramis is on your side against Fikrul, speak to Eido to follow up on Spider's claim that the Scorn have constructed an encampment in the Reef.

• Speak to Eido at the holoprojector in the Last City.
  • Holoprojector visited

---

• Eido: I really can't thank you enough for your help with Eramis. We're on the same side of this fight. So long as her people are safe, it's in her best interest to help us. Just in time, too. Scouts from the House of Light found something in the Reef — a formation of asteroids, lashed together. Between the reckless approach to construction and their taste in architecture, it's safe to say the Scorn are involved. We're closing in on Fikrul's base of operations, and everyone's pitching in on the plan. But before you go, I have something for you. I've spent countless hours studying Nezarec's curse. I've come to believe it shares a few elements with Dark Ether. I haven't yet found a safe treatment, but I did think of a way to weaponize my experiments against the Scorn. It's just a framework, for now. Collect some practical data from the field, and maybe you can make something of it.

"I really can't thank you enough for your help with Eramis. We're on the same side of this fight. So long as her people are safe, it's in her best interest to help us."

"Just in time too. Scouts from the House of Light found something out in the Reef-a formation of asteroids, lashed together. Between the reckless approach to construction and their taste in architecture, it's safe to say the Scorn are involved. We're closing in on Fikrul's base of operations, and everyone's pitching in on a plan."

"But before you go-I have something for you."

"I've spent countless hours studying Nezarec's curse. I've come to believe it shares a few elements with Dark Ether. I haven't yet found a safe treatment, but I did think of a way to weaponize my experiments against the Scorn."

"I hope it can be of use to you in the field."

Step 3

Eido has given the Guardian a weapon frame. Collecting telemetry in combat with Fikrul's forces will allow them to complete the weapon, an old Slayer Baron design Eido has modernised.

• Bring the weapon frame to Fikrul's fortress. Complete the Exotic mission "Kell's Fall."
  • Mission completed

Note

See Kell's Fall for a transcript of the mission.

Step 4

Defeat the Hangman. Eido may be able to use any resulting salvage to upgrade the technology in her Tonic Laboratory.

• Bring the Hangman's Flail to the Tonic Laboratory.
  • Hangman's Flail obtained

Step 5

You've assaulted Fikrul's Revenant Fortress, and though Fikrul and his Barons are seemingly undefeatable with the Echo in their possession, you were able to defeat the Hangman and retrieve his Flail. With it, Eido may be able to upgrade her Tonic Laboratory and plan a second attack on the Fortress.

• Speak to Eido in the Last City.
  • Eido visited

---

Eido hefts the Flail that you captured in all four of her hands. "This weapon is loaded with heatsinks! Perfect for kitbashing our brewing machine! We can use it to introduce Solar emissions to our tonics."

She turns the Flail over in her hands. "We've come a long way. We should be able to access new tonics with this. I hope, in the end, it'll be enough to stop Fikrul and help my father…"

Step 6

You've infiltrated the Revenant Fortress and defeated all the minions Fikrul sent against you, but it's a shallow victory: he was able to resurrect or replace the Revenants you've defeated. You've salvaged tech from your victory that allowed Eido to upgrade her Tonic Laboratory, giving you greater access to tonics. Crow is now attempting to reach you on radio from the field. Take the call in his office.

• Your tracker indicates Crow is attempting to reach you on radio. Head to the Last City to receive his call.
  • Message heard

---

• The Crow: I just read Eido's report on Fikrul's fortress. Good work, Guardian.

• Eramis: Is that your measure of success? A report? Any Kell worth their Ether would see you docked.

• The Crow: Yeah. Guardian, I invited Eramis to weigh in here. Eido was right — we need her intel.

• Eramis: Luckily, Eido's research continues, despite your incompetence. She's close to recreating a tonic that can alter the polarity of Ether.

• The Crow: Could be key in breaking through to Fikrul.

• Eramis: Records from Old Riis name the plants required. Organisms genetically cultivated over centuries by eco-splicers. With fragrances and colors that have yet to exist on your drab little planet. All now extinct. Withered and polluted by the Whirlwind. The active ingredients might still be harvested from Earth's primitive flora… But only one still living knows what they are.

• The Crow: Our lost Apothecary. We've got to find her.

• Eramis: Re-enter Fikrul's lair and fetch her at once. Fail again and I shall be forced to take more drastic measures.

Step 7

Crow and Eramis agree for once—Ixis the Apothecary, a missing member of Eramis's House since Fikrul's attacks began—is one of Fikrul's many captives. See if Eido has more information.

• Debrief with Eido in the Last City.
  • Eido visited

---

Eido acknowledges you as you approach.

"According to Eramis, one of her people, an apothecary named Ixis, has been captured by Fikrul. Ixis has found a way to send messages on public frequencies from somewhere inside the Revenant Fortress. Fikrul either can't intercept her messages or doesn't care she's transmitting. I've studied notes from her that Eramis has passed on, but nothing beats firsthand experience."

"Fikrul remains immortal, but if you can find Ixis in his fortress, she may be able to help us concoct a tonic to defeat him. Or help my father."

She looks at her hands. "If not… it'd still be nice if you could save the life of someone who's breathed Ether on the Riis of old."

Step 8
