The Guardian: Difference between revisions

Following up on that lead, the Guardian breaks into the [[Apothecary]], where the artifact is located and the Hive ran twisted experiments on the Light. After slaying [[Savathûn's Right Hand]], the Guardian retrieves the item, a crystal shard from Savathuns old prison. Taking the shard back to the altar, the Guardian must solve the puzzles and slay the Lucent Archivists again. As they place the shard on the altar, they learn the after the ritual that freed her from her worm, Savathun had gone to the cliffs overlooking the Last City. She looked up at the traveler and called it an old friend, saying that she had been chasing it a long time, first as an enemy, but now as a supplicant. As she died from her wounds, the Traveler sent a ghost named [[Immaru]] to resurrect her, meaning that she had been chosen by the Traveler. Once the memory ended, Savathun herself showed up behind the Guardian, and the Guardian realized that they had been tricked into giving Savathun her memories back, as she had lost them when she had been resurrected. She remembered her plan for the Traveler, and thanked the Guardian for helping her. As Savathun began to attack the Guardian, the Guardian ran back through the portal and went to alert the Vanguard of what they’d learned.

As the Guardian arrives at the palace, they find the way sealed by warring Hive and Scorn, as well as a massive ogre blocking the way, and the Traveler already in the Throne world. Before they could do anything, however, Ikora arrives and kills the ogre, and disables the portal that was blocking the way into Savathuns Palace. Battling their way through the building, Savathun taunts the Guardian. As they finally arrive at the top of the palace. The Guardian battles Savathun and her Lightbearer Hive. Finally killing her, the guardian is suddenly trapped before they can crush her ghost. As Savathun gets back up and starts to retreat, she continues to taunt the Guardian and their ghost, saying that she and her Lucent Hive are merely serving the true will the Traveler, with no exceptions. As the Guardian arrives in the Sanctum of the Brood Queen, they start to battle Savathun again, but they realize that she is too powerful. The guardian activates an altar in the Sanctum, and teleports into a strange area. The Guardian sees that Savathun is spinning a web around the Traveler, luring it into her world. As the guardian slays the Threadweaver wizards, they bring out the worm familiar and place it on the altar. As the memory of the Witnesses deception starts to play, Savathun refuses to believe it. She starts to get angry and begins to fight the Guardian again. As the battle goes on, the Guardian continues to play the rest of the memory, slaying the Threadweavers as well. As the last threadweaver falls, the memory is complete, and Savathun is extremely angry and distressed at this new info. Continuing the fight, the Guardian eventually slays the Witch Queen, and as she dies, she claims that she miscalculated, but so had the Guardian. She says that she had only wanted to keep the Traveler safe, and that now that was up to the Guardian, the game was theirs to play now, win or lose. As she finally dies, Immaru shows up, but before the Guardian can kill him, the Traveler disappears from the Throne World in a flash of bright light, and Immaru escapes. Ikora contacts the Guardian, asking if the deed is done. The Guardians Ghost says that Savathun was dead, but her ghost got away. Ikora says that that is good enough and that her Hidden will collect the body. The Guardians Ghost asks what will happen now, and the Guardian says that now they must prepare for war with the Witness. As the screen fades to black a cutscene is shown of the interior of an unknown structure. As the camera pans up, a shot of the Witness is shown, as well as the missing planets and the Traveler. The Witness speaks, presumably to the Traveler, the children of Sol cry out for Salvation, and that it had brought only death. It says that there will be no more life, and no more death, that the Travelers pale heart held the key, and that there was no where left to run.
