'''The Watcher's Archive''' is a [[Dungeon]] added to [[Destiny 2]] during the Season of Anticipation leading to [[Lightfall]]. Within the [[Vex Network]], a high [[Axis Mind]], known only as [[Forum:The High Psychopomp|The High Psychopomp]], would emanate a signal requesting an audience with [[The Guardian|the Guardian]]. Intercepted by [[Mithrax, Kell of Light|Mithrax]], with resources from the city and assistance from [[Saint-14]], he would call upon the Guardian and allow them access into the Axis Mind's personal realm, where they meet the initially benign lord of the realm. The Guardians are put through numerous trials and face off against hordes of vicious Vex units as they attempt to definitively answer the High Psychopomp's question of destiny. | '''The Watcher's Archive''' is a [[Dungeon]] added to [[Destiny 2]] during the Season of Anticipation leading to [[Lightfall]].

Initially, players will be teleported into [[Vault Ebisu]] below the Botza Ruins, where [[Mithrax, Kell of Light]], will await the Guardian(s)'s arrival. After he briefs the player, he will activate the hastily assembled Vex Transfer Gate beside him and allow players access into the Vex Domain. | |||

After entering the Vex Domain, players should find themselves in a verdant simulation filled with varying types of flora, ranging from tall grasses to cherry blossoms. After approaching the cliff edge, Mithrax' feed should cut and the players should soon find themselves in detainment prisms as a massive, armed Vex Hydra should appear above. After a quick exchange of dialogue, the Guardian(s) should then be released from their prisons and are ultimately free to explore the simulation once again. After a final exchange of dialogue, the simulation of the gulf and sunrise should fade, revealing the vivid colors of the Vex domain and a Vex Launcher should appear by the cliff. After thoroughly investigating the simulation, the Guardian(s) may also find a concealed Dias where they may learn a confession from the Vex High Psychopomp. Once the Guardian(s) are launched into the Domain, a [[Darkness Zone]] falls as the Dungeon officially begins. | |||
