Transcript

"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.

{Mission begins}

Hallowed Grove, European Dead Zone

The Guardian enters the Hallowed Grove

• The Crow: This is it. The geography matches my dream exactly. There was a bird? Or... I was a bird? Sometimes it's hard to remember. I'll scout the high route. Can you take the lower path?

• Ghost: Watch out for Taken up there. Savathûn might be hiding, but her minions are active as ever. Do you remember anything else about your dream?

The Crow: Someone was calling to me, but I couldn't understand. It sounded like they were... underwater or down a long tunnel. Then... nothing.

The Guardian battles with the Taken.

A hawk cries out.

• Ghost: Did — did you just hear that?

• Glint: Affirmative! Did you notice the way the sound scatters in spectral analysis?

• Ghost: What? No — but that's... it's resonated on the same frequency as the Traveler!

The Guardian defeats the Emissary of Savathûn and the remaining Taken and investigates the paracausal hawk which then flies off.

• Ghost: That hawk... it was made of the Light.

• The Crow: It was real. The dream, the bird. I've got coverage of you from up here. I'll watch your back when you go in. Be careful.

The Guardian follows the hawk into a new area hidden beyond the Hallowed Grove.

Hallowed Rift, European Dead Zone

• The Crow: Ghost, can you patch Glint into your feed? I need to see what's in there.

• Ghost: Of course. You're patched in.

• The Crow: I don't understand how any of this is possible.

• Glint: Guardians don't experience visions of their past lives. But there are historic records from the Dark Age detailing visions experienced by survivors of the Collapse.

• The Crow: What were the nature of these visions?

• Glint: They varied. But the most widely held belief is they came from the dormant Traveler. Like the survivors were experiencing its dreams. If it dreams.

The Guardian continues following the hawk's trail and cries.

• Ghost: Whatever was calling to you in your dreams, Crow... it's in there.

The hawk leads the the Guardian to discover another piece of the Traveler hidden within the grove.

• Ghost: A piece of the Traveler.

• The Crow: I don't think it's a coincidence that the Taken are so active here.

• Ghost: Savathûn?

• The Crow: She knows about this. Has to.

Taken forces lead by Korusk, Lighteater of Savathun, and Tarusk, Lightstealer of Savathun, arrive at the piece of the Traveler.

• Ghost: Taken!

• The Crow: Out here too! We'll cover the entrance!

The Guardian defeats the Taken presence and the hawk offers them a gift.

• Ghost: I know this gun. It looks like Hawkmoon... or at least part of it. I thought it was lost forever when the Red Legion destroyed the Tower. No. It's... an effigy of Hawkmoon. Made from the same material as the outer shell of the Traveler. This reminds me of the gift the Pyramid left us on Io. The one Eris transformed into a weapon, but it's undeniably of the Light!

The Guardian takes the Effigy of Hawkmoon.

• The Crow: My dream. The bird. The voice calling to me as the Darkness closes in. It's not a coincidence; it's a message.

• Ghost: Are you suggesting the Traveler spoke to you?

• Glint: This may be the only way a paracausal entity like the Traveler can communicate with us.

• The Crow: Why me?

• Glint: I've always believed in my purpose as a Ghost. We are all part of a broader design. Now that the Traveler is awake and whole again... that plan is set in motion.

• The Crow: I don't know if I want to be somebody's cosmic plaything.
