Timeline: Difference between revisions

Adjusted timeline for Witch Queen. Witness doesn't specifically mention the flower game at all, and we still have no concrete info that the Witness is the same being that speaks in Unveiling. Also the "prophecy wall" in Vow is completely speculatory at the moment, or could be seen as personal in-universe fic of Rhulk/Witness. Too confirmatory to try linking it to Lightfall right now. Other minor edits too.

| - || [[The Ritual]] || Running out of time to stop Savathûn's plan from coming to fruition, the Guardian crosses the [[Court of Thorns]] and climbs up to the [[Sanctum of the Brood Queen]], where they confront Savathûn. They are forced to defeat a fireteam of Lightbearing Hive, composed of a Lightbearing Knight with Void Light, a Lightbearing Wizard with Arc Light, and a [[Lightbearer Acolyte|Lightbearing Acolyte]] with Solar Light while engaging her. They defeat her, but Immaru resurrects her. The Guardian is forced to fight her with a different strategy. The Ghost proposes that the Guardian show her the same memory that Ikora relayed to them of the Witness tricking the Hive into service for the Darkness. The revelation angers her, and for the first time, Savathûn's web of lies are unraveled, allowing the Guardian to gain the upper hand over her. They finally defeat her, but Immaru disappears along with the Traveler from her Throne World. The Guardian tells the Ghost that now they must prepare for the Witness's arrival to Sol and do whatever they can to prevent a repeat of the Collapse.

| 24 May-31 May || Severing the [[Nightmare of Undren Sov]] || Eris suggests that the Guardian begin the severance ritual with Crow being the first participant, but before they can do so, they must bind a Nightmare found in the [[Castellum]] area of the derelict Leviathan to the Nightmare Harvester. They do so and make their way to the first severance ritual site with Crow. His Nightmare summons the [[Nightmare of Fikrul, the Fanatic]], where the Guardian uses the [[Scythe]] to defeat the minions and slay the Nightmare. Crow's first attempt fails.

Crow discovers his purpose and begins his task to fill in the Hunter Vanguard role left vacant since the death of Cayde-6. Eris congratulates the Guardian on the success.
