Cryptoglyphs are Hive artifact artifacts imbued with incredibly potent magic.
Overview[edit]
A Cryptoglyph was used by Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota and her sisters to command and protect themselves against the Nightmares generated by the Pyramid beneath the Scarlet Keep.[1] The Guardians would learn of this Cryptoglyph's existence following Hashladûn's fall at the top of the Scarlet Keep.[2] With this information, Eris Morn speculated that the Cryptoglyph would be located in the most forbidden location of the Hellmouth, the Catacombs. Despite the immense danger and total darkness, Eris asked the Guardians to descend into the Hellmouth again to acquire the Cryptoglyph, knowing it was essential to combat the Pyramid's wicked energies.[1]
Traversing deep into the Hellmouth, the Guardians reach the resting place of the Cryptoglyph, but after taking it, the relic's caretaker, Besurith, Daughter of Crota, emerged to stop the theft. Despite her sorcery, the Guardians would defeat Besurith, allowing them to race back to Eris with the relic in hand.[3] Eris would use the Cryptoglyph to empower her Lectern of Enchantment to forge more armor needed to infiltrate the Pyramid and resist the Nightmares.[citation needed]
Much later, during the events of the Lucent War, the Guardian would locate a series of Cryptoglyphs in the Dark City within the Court of Savathûn to power special hive worm incubators to revive Savathûn's dying worm.[4]
