Transcript
(Mission Begins)
Deimos: We need to get eyes on the Witness. First fireteam in there, don't hesitate to engage!
Mirror: Fly, Guardian! The Witch Queen and I will prevent its escape.
Caiatl: And your allies will fight at your side!
- Alongside with their Coalition allies and the Lucent Brood, a fireteam consisting of twelve Guardians led by the Young Wolf engage with the forces of the Witness. As the way to the Witness is blocked by a Pyramidal wall, with its entrance unassailable due to a barrier. The Guardians begin to slay the Cornerstones of the Witness, and cleanse the territory under its influence.
Ghost: This is what we were made for. I'm with you, until the end.
Mithrax: My House and I will aid you. We fight as one, Guardian.
- Or alternatively...
Savathûn: One of my strongest stand with you. Mind your fire, and they mind theirs.
- Or alternatively...
Savathûn: Time to face the monsters you made Witness. Sathona comes for you.
- As the Guardian succeeds in capturing three pieces of territory, Savathûn appears and comes to their aid.
Savathûn: This is a change of pace, isn't it? Never let it be said that I wasn't here when it counted!
- Despite the overwhelming amount of enemies, the Guardians alongside their allies succeed in cleansing all the areas under the Witness's influence.
Deimos: Guardian, keep your focus on the Witness.
Deimos: Empress, Mithrax, Savathûn, Witness forces are closing in, help me stop them!
- To assist Deimos, Caiatl, Mithrax, and Savathûn leave the battlefield to assist the Curator, as the barrier blocking the way to the Witness is lowered.
Ghost: Coalition Command, we’re closing in on the Witness now! This is it!
- With the barrier lowered, the Guardians enter the wall to arrive on the other side, where the Witness floats on the edge of the abyss.
The Witness: We are the first knife! We are the edge that carved purpose into being.
The Witness: Your resistance will be remembered, within the shadow of the Black Fleet.
The Witness: Die here if you wish! You will all be reshaped the same.
The Witness: This delay, brief as a life. Finality, yet approaches.
- The Witness launches its attacks and summons fourth its Cornerstones and other forces. Veronica then arrives to the battlefield to assist the Guardians, summoning fourth a Ward of Dawn for protection.
Deimos: Veronica is en route to your location! Watch for the Ward of Dawn!
- Upon defeating the cornerstones, the Guardians begin to draw from the Traveler's Light and bring it to a Pyramid shrine.
- Upon drawing enough Light, the Guardians give themselves to Darkness and enter the Witness's collective consciousness.
The Witness: Do not interfere.
- The Guardians enter the Witness's consciousness and retrieve a Sword of Light to destroy the Veiled Statues.
Ghost: Just like the last time, Guardian. Destroy these statues!
- With the blade in their hand, the Guardians begin to destroy the statues, unraveling the voices within the Witness
A Dissenter: Free us… free us! Free us!
The Witness: We are ONE.
A Dissenter: It will end soon.
A Dissenter: We won't suffer one more day with you!
- The Witness cuts the Guardians out of its collective, returning them to the battlefield. Stepping on the floating island, the fireteam destroys its Glyphs thus revealing its week spot and then open fire on the first knife. However the Witness's glyphs return as it becomes invulnerable once again. After slaying the Cornerstones, the Guardians collect Light once more and deposit it at the shrine.
- After depositing enough Light, the fireteam return to the Witness's consciousness, using the Ergo Sum to destroy the Veiled Statues before being cut out by the Witness.
The Witness: We carve you out!
Ghost: It's vulnerable! Give it all you've got, Guardian!
- Returning to the island as it floats back up, the fireteam destroy the glyphs and begin to damage the Witness once more.
The Witness: You are nothing.
- The island lowers as the Witness's immunity returns.
Deimos: We can't stop it now!
- As the Guardians slay the Cornerstones, pockets of the Traveler's Light manifest across the battlefield.
Caiatl: A Synaptic Spear awaits you!
- A Synaptic Spear arrives on the battlefield.
Savathûn: My assistance comes to you soon. Don't cut yourself, now.
- Savathûn appears and gives the Guardians a Cleaver before flying away. The Guardians then re-enter the Witness's consciousness after depositing enough Light.
The Witness: So many have fallen… Join them.
- The Guardians destroy many statues before being cut out.
The Witness: Your pain is poison!
Deimos: That's our opening. I want all our firepower on the Witness-now!
- With this opening, the fireteam destroy the glyphs, allowing them to wound the Witness.
The Witness: [roars in fury]
- The Witness becomes immune once more and creates a glass shield
Deimos: Here and now, Guardians!
'Thirhe: All right, we've got it on the ropes! You show that shape it ain't final!
Ghost: What was made can be unmade.
Ghost: I know what to do.
Ghost: Guardian, channel the Traveler's Light through me. I'm ready.
- Using their Ghosts, the Guardians channel the power of the Traveler's Light to attack the Witness.
Ghost: [screams in pain]
- Thanks to their Ghosts selfless act, the Guardians shatter the Witness's shield. Despite its universal power, the fireteam use the Traveler's Light to unmake the Voice in the Darkness, sending it into the abyss of the Pale Heart, ending its endeavour to enact the Final Shape, avenging the countless civilians devastated by its unfathomable cruelty, and bringing an end to the ancient, War of Light and Darkness.
The Witness: We-I-I don't understand.
Ghost: That's it [breaths heavily] We did it… we… we did it…
- The Guardians look in the distance as the Witness is vanquished.
