Transcript
Ikora: Guardian: Eris has detected a gravitic anomaly beneath the Spire. She thinks it's a ritual chamber.

Immaru: We call that the arcane oubliette. Savathûn stores all kinds of drooling goons in there. Warm bodies for her magical experiments.

Immaru: If you wanna feed blood and guts to your discount Hive god, that's the place to do it.


 * Mission Begins

Eris Morn: Panicked throes echo upward from a well of power and death. I sense the oubliette beneath you, Guardian.

Eris Morn: Assemble in the ritual space and we shall harvest the fruit of Savathûn's foul experiments as our own.


 * The Guardian uses Hive Magic to open the door to the Spire

Immaru: After I resurrected Savathûn, she was dying to learn about her new Light. But she needed test subjects to experiment on.

Immaru: Same way you use the poor slobs in Gambit for target practice. Listen to this:

Hive Signal: [Recording begins]

Savathûn: I named this chamber the “oubliette,” after a Human invention. A prison where the only exit is the ceiling, just out of reach.

Savathûn: A place for people to be thrown and forgotten… until the time is right.

Savathûn: This is where I'll keep in touch with all my bygone subjects, both as a queen, and researcher.

Hive Signal: [Recording ends]


 * The Guardian enters the Altars of Summoning


 * The Guardian begins the Ritual of Induction


 * The Guardian arrives at the Altar of Devotion with Eris Morn


 * The Guardian interacts with Eris Morn

Eris Morn: Do you feel it? The latent power of the Witch Queen's spellcraft.

Eris Morn: Finalize the ritual to complete the summoning.


 * Alak’nar and Lucent Hive appear


 * The Guardian damages Alak'nar


 * Alak'nar becomes invincible


 * The Guardian defeats three tribute bearers and deposits the tribute, destroying his shield.


 * The Guardian does this three times and defeats Alak'nar.

Eris Morn: Your tithes flow through me like a surge of hot blood… [gasps]


 * Eris Morn vanishes

Ikora: Where are these… subjects being summoned from?

Immaru: Some kinda suspended animation? Or maybe they're teleported from somewhere right into our gun-sights.

Immaru: Ah, but what do you care? They're all just dead meat to you.


 * The Guardian arrives at the Altar of Feracity with Eris Morn


 * The Guardian interacts with Eris Morn

Eris Morn: Your arcane skill conjures forth horrors once cloistered, awaiting brutal deliverance.

Eris Morn: And so they shall receive it!


 * The Ternary Minds and Precursors appear


 * The First Ternary Mind rises


 * The Guardian prevents Vex sacrifices used to shield the Ternary Minds


 * The Guardian defeats the three Ternary Minds

Eris Morn: I feel in your tithes the fear and anguish of our foes. Exalt in your retribution!


 * Eris Morn vanishes

Immaru: You know why the boss is so much better at magic than you?

Immaru: It's because she's not afraid to make the tough choices. Listen:

Hive Signal: [Recording begins]

Savathûn: I'd like to share my experiments with the Guardians one day, just as we share the Light.

Savathûn: But I know they won't approve of my methods. They love omelets, but hate breaking eggs.

Savathûn: Maybe practicing in my rituals will expand their… provincial sense of morality.

Hive Signal: [Recording ends]


 * The Guardian arrives at the Altar of Flesh with Eris Morn


 * The Guardian interacts with Eris Morn

Eris Morn: Your arcane skill expands with each ritual you complete.

Eris Morn: Our powers will grow in tandem until we are ready to challenge the God of War herself!


 * Ei Haaruz and Lucent Hive appear


 * The Guardian powers six Arc Crystals and invokes Hive magic to destroy her shield


 * Ei Haaruz shield is destroyed


 * The Guardian kills Ei Haaruz

Eris Morn: In the name of retribution for the lost: Vell, Eriana, Omar, Sai, and Toland…

Eris Morn: Tithe onto me, acolyte! Aiat!


 * Eris Morn vanishes

Ikora: Guardian, the value of the magic you've unearthed here is… undeniable.

Ikora: But watching you and Eris revel in violence, tithing with Hive rituals… it was disturbing.

Immaru: Like it or not, your witch is gonna need a lot more tithes before she's powerful enough to challenge Xivu.

Immaru: So go ahead, sport. Make a mess. Enjoy yourself.

Immaru: Welcome to the Hive.
