+'''Fynch''': Good, you're here. I've got a feeling about this lead, Guardian. This could be big! Big enough to crack this case wide open.
+:::The Guardian goes deep into a cave
+'''Ikora''': Fynch. A hunch is not enough. We need evidence. Compelling evidence.
+'''Fynch''': Okay, how about a secret, underground temple? 'Cause I found one, deep in the tunnels there.
+'''Fynch''': And guess who it's dedicated to?
+'''Ikora''': Savathûn
+'''Fynch''': Yeah, well… kinda. It's dedicated to Sathona, Savathûn before she was a Hive God.
+'''Fynch''': I mean, talk about compelling! Like, just imagine what's buried down there!
+'''Ikora''': Imagine? So you haven't seen this object?
+'''Fynch''': I didn't get eyes on it per se, but I know it's powerful, enough to attract a whole mass of Scorn.
+'''Ikora''': If this object is what you promise, them it'll be worth it. Stay alert, Guardian. We can't miss this one.
+:::Scorn appear
+:::The Guardian defeats the Scorn
+:::The Guardian enters the portal. Teleporting them close to the Temple of the Wrathful
+'''Ghost''': The Scorn are even more entrenched than the last time we were here.
+'''Fynch''': Oh yeah, the Scorn have dug themselves in deep down here.
+:::Darkness Zone. Respawning Restricted
+:::Scorn appear
+:::The Guardian defeats two Invasive Abominations
+:::The gateway is opened
+:::The Guardian enters the gateway and goes deeper into the cave
+'''Ikora''': So, Fynch. Tell us more about this temple. How do you know it's dedicated to Sathona?
+'''Fynch''': I only got a peak inside, but the statue in there looks just like her.
+'''Ikora''': So Savathûn built a mausoleum for her younger self, than abandoned it. Why?
+'''Fynch''': Mmm, I don't know. Embarrassment? Who isn't a little… ashamed of their past?
+:::The Guardian reaches a room with a dead end
+'''Ghost''': Dead end. But there's an illusion here-with Savathûn's signature. So… she didn't leave this area totally unprotected.
+'''Ikora''': Why didn't she return to upgrade her defences with the Light? Why haven't the Lucent Hive come back to confront the Scorn?
+'''Fynch''': Oh, maybe it's bait! Maybe she's luring the Scorn in so she can convert them, use 'em against the Witness.
+'''Ikora''': I highly doubt Savathûn would gamble her throne world for the sake of a few Scorn brigades.
+'''Ikora''': No, Savathûn and the Witness are fighting a turf war. You don't cede ground unless you're losing.
+:::The Guardian interacts with a Deepsight Orb. Revealing tokens
+:::The Guardian shoots the tokens. Completing the puzzle
+:::An entrance is revealed
+:::The Guardian enters the Entrance.
+:::The Guardian enters a room
+:::The Guardian interacts with a Deepsight Orb. Revealing tokens
+:::The Guardian shoots the tokens. Completing the puzzle
+:::An entrance is revealed
+:::The Guardian arrives at a room. Scorn appear
+:::The Guardian defeats the Scorn and arrives at a platform above the temple
+'''Ghost''': So that's the temple Savathûn dedicated to herself. It's…
+'''Fynch''': It's quite the sight, isn't it? Can't accuse Savathûn of being too humble.
+:::The Guardian jumps down to a broken bridge to the temple. The Drawbridge is upward
+:::Scorn appear
+:::The Guardian defeats the Scorn
+'''Ghost''': There's no way to lower the bridge from here.
+'''Ikora''': There has to be another path forward. Use your senses, Guardian. You've gone too far to turn back empty-handed.
+:::The Guardian interacts with a Deepsight Orb. Revealing tokens
+:::The Guardian shoots the tokens. Completing the puzzle
+:::Rocks are revealed.
+:::The Guardians traverses the rocks to a make there way to an another rock with a Deepsight Orb
+:::The Guardian interacts with a Deepsight Orb. Revealing a path back to the broken bridge
+:::Scorn appear
+:::The Guardian defeats the Scorn
+'''Fynch''': Oh, hey hey, before you go to the temple, we should take bets on what the object's going to be.
+'''Fynch''': Now, I don't technically have any glimmer, but I do have a pretty solid theory based on what we've found so far-
+'''Ghost''': Now's not a good time, Fynch.
+'''Ikora''': Yes. Don't distract the Guardian.
+'''Ikora''': We're already taking a gamble that this thing has the answers we need.
+'''Ikora''': The Traveler and the Last City are depending on it.
+:::The Guardian interacts with a Deepsight Orb. Revealing platforms
+:::The Guardian interacts with a Deepsight Orr. Revealing tokens.
+:::The Guardian shoots the tokens. Completing the puzzle
+:::The Guardian interacts with a Deepsight Orb. Revealing a path back to the broken bridge
+:::Scorn appear
+:::A plate is revealed in the middle
+'''Ghost''': Guardian, look! That plate in the center should lower the drawbridge.
+:::The Guardian gets on the plate. Lowering the drawbridge
+'''Ghost''': Finally! Ikora, we're lowering the drawbridge now.
+'''Ikora''': Good. Once you're in, head straight for the statue Fynch described.
+'''Ikora''': If this fits the pattern, the object should be nearby.
+:::The Guardian walks across the bridge to the temple
+:::Scorn appear
+:::The Guardian defeats Scorn. Revealing a small bridge to the heart of the temple with the statue
+'''Ikora''': Guardian? Ghost? Have you found the object yet?
+'''Ghost''': The only thing here is the statue…
+'''Fynch''': What? There's got to be more!
+:::A doorway opens
+:::Termiiks, Invasive Warrant and Scorn emerge
+:::The Guardian defeats Termiiks, Invasive Warrant
+'''Ghost''': Ikora, I'm sorry but… it doesn't look like there's anything here but the statue…
+'''Ikora''': Fynch? Please don't tell me the Guardian did all of this for nothing.
+'''Fynch''': No, no, there's something there, I swear!
+'''Fynch''': Wait! What if the object is the statue itself!
+'''Ghost''': Or one part of the statue. That worm familiar looks like it's a separate peace.
+'''Ikora''': Of course. This is Savathûn's temple after all. There had to be a trick in it.
+:::The Guardian interacts with a Deepsight Orb. Revealing tokens
+:::The Guardian shoots the tokens. Completing the puzzle
+:::Platforms around the statue are revealed
+:::The Guardian interacts with a Deepsight Orb. Revealing tokens
+:::The Guardian shoots the tokens. Completing the puzzle
+:::The shield around the statue is broken. A platform next to the statue is revealed
+:::The Guardian picks up the Worm Familiar
+'''Unknown Voice''': [unintelligible whispers]
+:::The Ahamkara Illusion appears
+'''Ghost''': What? But… that's impossible! That's an Ahamkara.
+'''Ikora''': What?!
+'''Fynch''': I knew it! I knew the Ahamkara weren't gone. I knew there was one left! At least one!
+'''Ikora''': The last one died cursing the Dream City!
+'''Ikora''': This has to be another illusion!
+:::The Guardian damages 1/3 of the Ahamkara Illusion's health
+'''Ghost''': Ikora's right. This is an illusion. Just a very, VERY realistic one!
+:::Scorn appear
+:::The Guardian damages 2/3 of the Ahamkara Illusion's health
+'''Ikora''': The Hive magic powering that illusion is limited. If you escape, it can't follow.
+'''Ghost''': No chance of that! Exit's completely blocked.
+:::Scorn appear
+'''Ghost''': Though those Scorn must have come from somewhere!
+:::The Guardian defeats the Ahamkara Illusion
+:::Scorn appear
+'''Ghost''': Of course that Ahamkara would have one final move!
+'''Ghost''': We gotta find a way out… fast!
+'''Ghost''': Ikora? Fynch? Any suggestions?
+'''Ghost''': Guess we're on our own. Let's go, Guardian!
+:::The Guardian interacts with a Deepsight Orb. Revealing a path
+:::The Guardian takes a Scorn Pike. Using it to make their way to a tractor beam
+:::The Guardian uses the Tractor beam to escape the temple
+'''Ikora''': Ghost? Guardian? Come in. Are you there?
+'''Ghost''': We're here, Ikora. We're on our way back to the surface now.
+'''Fynch''': And you've got the object, right. Otherwise, this was a HUGE waste of time.
+'''Ghost''': We got it. Thanks for the concern, Fynch.
+'''Fynch''': Phew! Well, I never doubted you for a second.
+'''Fynch''': Ikora was worried, but I knew you two could handle that Ahamkara. Wasn't even a real one, heh!
+'''Ikora''': The danger was real enough.
+'''Ikora''': I never should have sent the Guardian in on such shaky intel. Even if it was our only lead.
+'''Ghost''': Well, we made it out in one peace. And if this objects shows us how Savathûn got the Light, the risks were worth it.
+'''Ikora''': Yes. Let's hope.
+'''Fynch''': Yeah! [chuckles hesitantly] Go, team?
