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.

Transcript

The Exo Stranger is pleased with your progress acquiring and learning to use Stasis, but explains it can still be further enhanced.

She reveals herself to be Elisabeth "Elsie" Bray, granddaughter of Clovis Bray I. His experiments on Europa were filled with deceptions and secrets—the most important of which may have involved Exos, Darkness, and by association, Stasis.

Acquire his digital journal, and you're bound to discover further truths about Stasis. But the journal is currently locked.

The Exo Stranger removes a symbol from her own body and hands it to you, calling it a Skeleton Key. In order to access the journal, you must first empower the Skeleton Key with Stasis energy.

Follow the Exo Stranger's guidance to empower the Skeleton Key.

EXO STRANGER: Humanity's refuge does not lie in us alone. We must awaken Darkness far and wide. Teach the masses to use it for good. But first, we must awaken its power fully. There was one whose knowledge of the Darkness exceeded even our own. My grandfather: Clovis Bray I. "Elisabeth," he said to me as I woke, born again as an Exo. "You are going to save the world." What a load of crap. The old man didn't care about saving the world. He only cared about his precious legacy. Still... here's to hoping he was right. Clovis kept most of his secrets in his personal journal. And I know just where we can find it.[1]

— The Exo Stranger

"The Skeleton Key requires further empowerment. Let's try something a bit more significant—somewhere you can take on many enemies with Stasis in a short period of time."
— The Exo Stranger

Step 3

Defeat Wenik's platoon near the Crux of Darkness in Eternity.

The Skeleton Key is almost ready. The Stranger believes one more boost of energy from combatants near a Crux should do it. Find Weniks, Salvation Elite Captain and eliminate their platoon.

  • Weniks's platoon defeated

"You're very close. There's a Fallen Captain that's been holed up, causing trouble in one of the Exoscience buildings. Taking them out should do it."

Transcript

The Guardian finds Elsie looking at an old picture of her and Ana as children, before she became an Exo.

  • EXO STRANGER: It's a strange thing. Sisters, alive again at the same time. Me wishing I didn't remember my past... Ana searching constantly for hers. All this time, I've kept her searching. Kept her away from desire. Fortunately for those of us in need, Clovis left plenty behind. He wanted it that way. You brought the key.

The Guardian inserts the key into the bunker’s computer.

  • GHOST: Everything we're looking for is in there?
  • EXO STRANGER: Clovis was a man so obsessed with legacy, he recorded practically everything he did, including every body he left buried in our family past. History loves referring to his kind as "great men”. Remembering their successes while ignoring the atrocities committed to get there. Make no mistake, Clovis was ambitious. Ruthless. A tyrant. That knowledge is why I've kept Ana searching. She's not ready to hear about any of it... or even about me, for that matter. We're not here to learn who Clovis was either. Only to gain what he found experimenting with the Darkness: Stasis. If we're lucky, this journal is our key to unlocking its greater potential. We'll have answers once I can decrypt it further.
