As the Vanguard and its allies continue its efforts to bypass the portal through Riven, Crow discovers a Scorn presence within the EDZ and reports his findings to the Hidden. The Guardian follows the last known location of a Scorn sighting to a snowy mountain within the EDZ. The Guardian enters a Dark Age castle and confronts a powerful Chieftain partly infused with Taken energy named [[Rathil, First Broken Knight of Fikrul|Rathil]], the leader of the [[Buried Bloodline#Lore|Broken Knights]] sent by Fikrul to bring home the Scorn raised from [[House of Kings]] along with [[Malaris, Second Broken Knight|Malaris]], [[Vrysiks, Third Broken Knight|Vrysiks]], [[Nymeks, Fourth Broken Knight|Nymeks]], and [[Sirloks, Fifth Broken Knight|Sirloks]]. The Guardian defeats Rathil by capturing corrupted Ether Totems and being empowered by the wishes of the former Warlord [[Naeem]]. After Rathil is defeated, the [[Hefnd's Vengeance, Blighted Chimaera|Chimera]] bearing the avatar of another Ahamkara named [[Hefnd]] reveals itself and transorts the Guardian to the castle's jail ceĺls. The Guardian escapes from the jail cells using the stone tablets laying next to the skeletons. They pursue the Chimera throughout the castle and arrive at the ramparts where the [[Locus of Wailing Grief]] awaits them. They would survive the tempest and defeat the Taken Ogre by lighting and then staying within the 4 stone braziers. They would continue their pursuit of the Chimera and finally confront it at the tpp of the castle at the mountain's summit. After a difficult battle, the Guardian finally defeats the Chimera, allowing them to collect the bones of Hefnd. They would uncover more of Hefnd's bones scattered throughout the castle by opening sealed doors. They would discover Hefnd's Cairn and discover that Shaxx was responsible for Hefnd's death, with Crow and Petra discovering the truth behind the castle history. They would conclude the investigation by reporting additional findings to Ikora Rey. | As the Vanguard and its allies continue its efforts to bypass the portal through Riven, Crow discovers a Scorn presence within the EDZ and reports his findings to the Hidden.

As the Guardian works to recover more of Riven's eggs, the Sol Divisive would respond by creating an Axis Mind to match the capabilities of the Techeuns and also deploy the [[Oracle]]s into the Dreaming City that mimics resonance used by the Witness and its Disciples. The Guardian arrivrs too late to recover the egg as the Sol Divisive was able to steal the egg and place it in the Black Garden, near [[Taranis]]'s corpse. The Guardian explores a new section of the Black Garden that once used as an Ahamkara lair. Riven and Crow assist the Guardian as tactical support. Using the sparks inside a circle of green flowers, the Guardian was able to dispel paracausal locks. They would also use the sparks inside a circle of red flowers to cross a mist that would otherwise be hazardous to them. Riven reveals that her and another Ahamkara left behind the sparks scattered throughout the Black Garden. They are able to combine the sparks to defeat [[Akardon, Pitiless Mind]]. After its defeat, Riven would discover that her mate, Taranis, has died as a result of granting his own wish to scatter the clutch. Riven would reflect on his death, then instructs the Guardian to use [[Wish-Keeper]] to honor Taranis. She would discover that the Taken are attempting to corrupt one of her eggs and instructs the Guardian to stop them. They defeat a Taken Knight once loyal to Xivu Arath and learn that the Taken have succeeded in corrupting the egg. Mara proposes a solution to cleanse the egg, but first they must acquire Taken essentia from completing an [[Ascendant Challenge]], then defeating foes within Riven's lair. After cleansing the egg, Orosis updates Mara on how the Pale can be entered, and Riven would reveal that one individual can enter the Pale Heart through the Ley Lines, per her previous bargains with Savathûn. Mara would threaten Riven for her deception before Osiris stops her using Strand. Mara and Osiris both leave, with thr latter informing the Guardian that his investigations on the Veil's ability to replicate the Witness's actions has concluded. | |||
