Walkthrough
Initial Traversal
Upon loading into the mission itself, Revenant Scorn will greet you; however, you are unable to fire your weapons or use your abilities until you have reached the area marked the Gatehouse on the radar. The Gatehouse area can be reached by going right from where you begin the mission and following the path until you begin to see Awoken architecture. Entering the Gatehouse area will spawn in adds that begin to fire on you and trigger a fight with Araskes, the Trickster. Watch out for the counterfeit Heavy ammo bricks as you fight her as it will unleash a Scorn mine that will damage you. After getting her to 3/5 of her health, she will flee and the door leading to the Bailey area will open. Enter the chamber leading to an organ at the far end of it. Ignore the organ as that will play into solving the puzzles that allow you to obtain intrinsic upgrades for Slayer’s Fang and triggering a fight with the Scorned Organist and also some of the organ keys will be missing unless you are playing the Diffraction variant of the Exotic mission. Instead, head to the left hand side of the stairs and go down the hallway until you see a door adjacent to a brazier nearby. You must interact with the brazier in order to open the door to the Mirror Gallery area, where players will be introduced to the central mechanic of the mission: traversing between the material plane and the Revenant Plane. The archways with cracks in the center are the object used to traverse between these 2 planes, and the first one can be found after shooting a pile of rubble blocking the way forward. You must shoot the cracks within the archway to allow you to enter from one plane to another. You must interact with 2 different braziers in both planes to open the door leading to the first encounter, but the location of the braziers are random on each playthrough from this point onwards.
Fighting Pit Encounter
After both braziers have been interacted during the first traversal through the Revenant Plane, players will reach the Fighting Pit area and the rally flag awaits at the entrance to the area. After getting past the threshold, the encounter begins and 2 Abominations called Pit Enforcers will spawn. These Pit Enforcers can be only be damaged when the players acquire a buff called Revenant Empowerment. To acquire this buff, you will need to enter the Revenant Plane, then kill a Lurker called a Pit Boss. On killing the Pit Boss, a pair of Weavers called Revenant Essentia will spawn. Kill them and pick up the Revenant Essence buff they drop that lasts for 45 seconds. Collecting 10 stacks of Revenant Essence will convert it into the Revenant Empowerment buff you need to damage the Pit Enforcers in the material plane. Once players have acquired that buff, exit the Revenant Plane and defeat the Pit Enforcers. Once they are defeated, Kaniks, the Mad Bomber will spawn in the area to fight the players. After a short time, Araskes will spawn, but ignore her as she is simply there as a distraction. Focus fire on Kaniks until he is defeated and the encounter is completed. The door out of the Fighting Pit area will only open once the animation where Fikrul uses the Echo to revive Kaniks has been finished. You will return to the Bailey area, but you will be underneath the staircase you took after entering the chamber with the organ. Continue down the hallway until you see another pile of rubble blocking the way to the Undercroft area.
The Undercroft
Upon entering the Undercroft area, you must jump through a series of platforms within the cave. At this point, you will be begin to see Scorn architecture throughout the cave. After jumping up the catwalk, jump onto the rotating platform where you will then to jump through some scaffolding. Raiders will attempt to kill you during your ascent up to the platform where you then need to enter a tunnel. Follow the tunnel to another scaffolding where a Raider awaits. You can either ignore the Raiders or kill them during your ascent throughout the cave. Jump from the scaffolding towards the platform nearby. Head towards the catwalk, then jump onto the platform with a red building at the end. A shrine to Uldren is also present, but the door leading to it will open only if these specific keys have been fed to the organ: 1-8-4-11-1-6-4-10. After getting near the red building, jump into a tunnel below and follow it until you have reached a pit leading up to the Vestibule area. A rally flag to the second encounter awaits.
Battle on 2 Planes
After shooting an archway inside the Vestibule area and entering the Revenant Plane once again, players will receive a Refracting buff that lasts for 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Once the buff's timer expires, players will then acquire a Shattering debuff that damages and eventually kills them if they continue to linger within the Revenant Plane, so be sure to exit the Revenant Plane before the buff's timer expires to refresh that buff when you re-enter the Revenant Plane. The encounter begins upon entering the Sanctum area, where players will fight Hiraks, the Mindbender. Araskes will also appear during the fight with Hiraks. Once he has reached 2/3 of his health, he will teleport to the material plane, and you must interact with 3 different braziers to open the door where DPS can be continued. After he reaches 1/3 of his health, he will return to the Revenant Plane, but upon entering the Revenant Plane via another archway, you will not be able to return to the material plane. You must defeat him before the buff's timer expires to end the encounter. After defeating him, a door will open opposite of where you entered from once he had reached 1/3 of his health. Ascend the grav lift to enter the Staircase area. If you are playing either the Distortion or Diffraction variant of the mission, interact with the large door ahead of you. After waiting for dialogue to finish, Araskes will reappear, but this time you must defeat her within the Staircase area. The mechanics within the Staircase area are identical to the mechanics within the Gatehouse area at the beginning of the mission. After defeating her, the door to the Throne Room area will open, where a rally flag to the final encounter awaits.
Throne Room Encounter
Entering the Throne Room area past the rally flag will summon Fikrul, the Fanatic to fight you, and he will be immune within the material plane and the entirety of the encounter unless the Diffraction variant is being played. After Fikrul is summoned, you will need to survive long enough until a red text shows up on the screen saying, "Fikrul pepares an attack". You must enter the Revenant Plane before the attack is complete as it will cause a wipe if you attempt to stay in the material plane. The mechanics within the Revenant Plane plays the same as the first 2 encounters; however, once you acquire the Revenant Empowerment buff, it will also remove the Refreacting buff without becoming the Shattering debuff. Unless the Diffraction variant is being played, you will be able to leave the Revenant Plane and then Fikrul will summon another boss the player must face: Reksis Vahn, the Hangman for the Reflection variant or the Screeb Matriarch for the Distortion variant. If the Diffraction variant is being played, Fikrul will stop you from leaving the Revenant Plane and cast his wipe attack if he is not stunned before the attack is complete. The only way to stun him is to shoot the archway while he is casting the wipe attack. After he is stunned, he will be available to DPS until he recovers from the stun. He will teleport back into the material plane once he recovers from his stun, and you will lose the Revenant Empowerment buff upon leaving the Revenant Plane, forcing you to repeat the mechanics above. In any case, once any of those bosses are defeated, the encounter ends and the mission is completed. Players will earn the Slayer's Fang when it’s completed for the first time with guaranteed Deepsight Resonance and players are able to pick up the Revenant Slayer series of quests from Eido to obtain its catalysts.
Scorned Organist Fight
You must be playing the Diffraction variant of the mission as the organ keys that needs to be fed to the organ will be missing otherwise. Once you have reached that point, the Scorned Organist must be fought as part of the Act III Key Fieldwork assignment from Eido once all tonic formulae have been discovered and the preceding fieldwork assignments have been completed. To trigger the fight, these specific keys must be fed into the organ: 10-4-6-1-11-4-8-1. Once those specific keys have been fed into the organ, you will be teleported into the Conservatory area and the boss fight with the Scorned Organist will begin. As you fight the Organist, he will raise an immunity shield that can only be lowered once a Tormentor nearby has been defeated. Once he dies, you will be teleported back into the Bailey area and eventually complete the Key Fieldwork assignment.

Transcript

The Guardian transmats to a barge of asteroids on the Tangled Shore leading to the Revenant Fortress where dozens of Revenant Scorn observe their actions.
- Eido: So many Scorn… Why aren't they attacking?
- Mithrax: Fikrul alone would be Kell of Kells. It is not enough to destroy my Baron. He must be seen doing it.
- The Crow: He's playing to the crowd. I don't like where this is headed.
Traversing across the Shore and past the Revenant Scorn onlookers, the Guardian arrives to the Gatehouse of the Revenant Fortress as the onlookers transmat away
- Fikrul's children welcome you.
Araskes, the Trickster arrives to the Gatehouse alongside hordes of Scorn.
- Mithrax: Araskes, the Trickster! One of few to best Spider in a test of wits.
- The Crow: Just like you, Guardian! Glint and I wouldn’t be here otherwise.
- Losing her confrontation against the Guardian, Araskes retreats from the battle.
- Mithrax: Be vigilant, Slayer Baron. Araskes will return.
- The Crow: At the worst possible time, no doubt.
Entering into the Bailey, the Guardian spots the Scorned Organist tending to a large organ before it transmats away.
- Eido: Oooh! That appears to be some kind of musical instrument. Play us a melody, Guardian… Like one of Drifter's star shanties!
- Mithrax: Please, Guardian. Anything but that.
- The Crow: it looks awfully complex for the Scorn. Could have a hidden purpose. Let's keep an ear on it.
Traversing further into the fortress and up a set of stairs, the Guardian lights a brazier to open a door leading into a room overgrown with roots.
- The Crow: Looks like a dead end.
- Mithrax: No. There is a fell magic at work here. Examine the photon reflectors closely.
- The Crow: You're right. There’s something off about those mirrors…
The Guardian destroys a gap in the wall covered by rocks to reveal a secret pathway leading to the Mirror Gallery. Discovering a mystic mirror located within the gallery, the Guardian interacts with the mirror to create a portal that transports them to the yrellaG rorriM location in the Revenant Plane; a dimensional plane created from the Echo that mirrors the physical reality.
- The Crow: Woah! The Guardian's energy signature just changed. Where are they?
- Eido: This must be an ancillary effect of Fikrul's Echo. Some kind of extra-dimensional projection.
- Mithrax:: It is a reflection of his fortress, just as the Scorn are dark reflections of the Eliksni.
Defeating the Scorn and Dread forces standing in their way, the Guardian interacts with a mirror to return to the physical realm. They open a large gate leading deeper into the fortress by interacting with a brazier.
- A door opens elsewhere
Uncovering another secret entrance by destroying another gap filled with rocks, the Guardian eventually arrives to the Fighting Pit where they are be besieged by multitudes of Scorn.
- Darkness Zone. Respawning Restricted.
As the Guardian is incapable of a damaging the Pit Enforcers with their weaponary, they interact with another mirror to transport themselves to the tiP gnithgiF in the Revenant Plane.
- Eido: The radiation signature here matches your opponents’ in the fortress!
- The Crow: Use their energy against them. Collect as much as you can before crossing back.
Collecting enough Revenant Essence to obtain Revenant Empowerment, the Guardian returns to the physical realm and defeats the Put Enforcers thanks to the energy they have obtained. Subsequently, the Guardian is then confronted by Kaniks, the Mad Bomber
- The Crow: It's the Mad Bomber! Another of Fikrul's Barons.
- Mithrax: Kaniks always targeted civilians, even as an Eliksni. I am not surprised he… revels in these atrocities.
Shattering Kaniks's Immunity with their empowerment, the Guardian defeats the Mad Bomber. However, Fikrul then subsequently teleports to the Fighting Pit and resurrects Kaniks with the power of the Echo, permitting his Baron to transmat away.
- Fikrul, the Fanatic: See, my children! A dead thing, bringing death to our House. But we fear it no more. We are finally beyond its violence.
With his speech concluded, Fikrul transmats away while the Guardian enters a hallway that takes them further into the Bailey.
- Fikrul, the Fanatic: For ages the Fallen were blessed by the Great Machine. [scoffs] So self-righteous. But now it blesses the Scorn! Gives the gift of life. Now we are the miracle. And how do they welcome their savior? With murder, subjugation, and jealousy!
Arriving to the Undercroft of the fortress, the Guardian traverses across the cavern.
- Eido: Fikrul thinks of himself as some kind of savior. As if he’s helping all these Eliksni. It’s perverse.
- Mithrax: His delusions of greatness appeared even as an Archon in the House of Wolves. But then, as now, he seeks only to save himself from inadequacy.
- The Crow: He’s desperate to prove that he’s more than a joke played on me by the Ahamkara
Delving deeper into the Undercroft, the Guardian locates the Vestibule where they interact with a mirror that takes them to the location in the Revenant Plane known as elubitseV, where the radiation begins to take a toll on them.
- The Crow: The radiation in that place is starting to take a toll. I’d get out of there as soon as possible.
- Darkness Zone. Respawning Restricted.
The Guardian is assaulted by Hive forces led by Hiraks, the Mindbender.
- The Crow: It's the Mindbender. Watching Fikrul bring these Barons back… It's like all of our work — Cayde's sacrifice — is being undone.
Due to the extensive wounds he receives from the Young Wolf, Hiraks retreats to the physical plane.
- Mithrax: Hiraks seeks refuge in the adjacent dimension.
- The Crow: Follow him back to the Material Plane, Guardian. Don’t let him escape!
Pursuing him into the physical plane, the Guardian engages with Hiraks at the Sanctum and forces him to retreat back to the Revenant Plane. Confronting him in their previous location once again, the Guardian slays Hiraks. Following the Mindbender's defeat, Fikrul teleports into the Revenant Plane and revives Hiraks with his Echo. With his resurrection complete, Hiraks transmats away.
- Fikrul, the Fanatic: Your cruelty has no place here, dead thing. My children will rise again and again!
Upon re-entering the physical reality, the Guardian travels through a gap in the wall to arrive to a room with a grav lift.
- Mithrax: You approach the Throne Room. The final Kell will soon be decided.
- The Crow: I'm not so sure. This whole thing feels like a spectacle for Fikrul's followers. And he's not ready for the show to end yet.
Utilizing the grav lift to travel to the staircase area where they are suddenly confronted by Araskes.
- Mithrax: Araskes returns! Do not let her slip away this time.
Travelling up the staircase to the top floor, the Guardian defeats Araskes, opening the door leading to the Throne Room of the Fanatic.
- Darkness Zone. Respawning Restricted.
Entering into the Throne Room, the Guardian is confronted by Fikrul, the Fanatic who summons swarms of Scorn units to his aid.
- Fikrul, the Fanatic: Finally, the dead thing arrives. Champion for a dying coward. Kell of nothing.
The Guardian slays hordes of Scorn units in the Throne Room.
- Fikrul prepares an attack!
To avoid the attack being summoned forth by Fikrul, the Guardian uses a mirror to transport themselves to the Revenant Plane. Within the mooR enorhT, the Guardian defeats Fikrul's forces to obtain Revenant Empowerment and returns to the physical realm. As a response to his adversary's return, Fikrul summons forth Reksis Vahn, the Hangman with the power of his Echo and teleports away shortly after.
- Fikrul disdains you. He summons a lacky in his place.
Fikrul, the Fanatic: [snarls] Now you see, children. How small and broken are the Eliksni. Their force dwindles. Their houses fall. And our army grows inside their flesh! Soon they will bow to Fikrul, Lifebringer!
Despite his immense strength, the Guardian vanquishes Reksis Vahn, obtaining the Slayer's Fang in the process.
- The Crow: Good work, Guardian. It looks like Eido's frame really came alive during that mission.
- Eido: Yes. The energies of the Revenant Plane were just the component it needed. Unfortunately, we're no closer to ending Fikrul… or during my father's curse.
- Mithrax: Have patience, daughter. We must know our enemy before we defeat them. And the Guardian has discover much of value this day.
