Sloane: Guardian, we're reading some odd fluctuations in our scans.
Amanda Holliday: Gravity waves. Small for now, but amp 'em up and they'll rip us apart.
Sloane: I've got three locations where the waves are strongest. Sending you coordinates.
Investigate gravity waves Sites checked [0-3] of 3 Check the sites where Sloane's readings are strongest
The player moves to the various sites in Siren's Watch in no particular order. The player reaches the first site, covered in Hive gunk.
Scan Gravity Waves
1 of 3
The player scans the Hive materials at the first site which promptly start roaring like a Knight before disappearing.
Ghost: I don't see anything, Sloane. But I - did you hear that?
Sloane: What are you picking up?
Ghost: It's gone. Maybe I'm imagining things. We'll check your other coordinates.
Holliday: Do it quick. I don't like what I'm seeing.
The player approaches the next location
Scan Gravity Waves
2 of 3
The site screams at the player angrily then vanishes once more.
Holliday: Not to rush ya, but these waves are growin' fast.
Sloane: Get over there, and we should be able to track those gravity waves back to their source.
The player approaches the third site of weird Hive gunk
Scan Gravity Wave
3 of 3
The player scans the final site, which also screams at them like an angry Hive Knight, then disappears back into the Hive netherworld.
Ghost: Sloane, you have to hear this.
Sloane: Oh, I hear it. Amanda's grabbed your data and is mapping the source now.
Holliday: Sources. Three of 'em. Go shut 'em down.
Search for the sources Find the sources of the gravity waves
The player enters the Arcology
Solarium
Ghost: Sloane, it's a ritual, a big one. They really ARE going to shake this Arcology to pieces
Sloane: Then let's do the same to them.
Destroy Hive Shrine Demolish the Hive Shrine used in their ritual
The player kills the Hive surrounding the Shrine device, which is emitting some sort of screaming noise continuously. The player destroys the Shrine, causing a yellow bar Hive Wizard, the "Ritual Hierarch", to enter the scene with reinforcements.
Defeat the Hierarch Eliminate the Ritual Hierarch
The player kills the Hierarch and continues further into the Arcology, headed towards the Arboretum

Arboretum
The player fights through the Hive towards the long white hallway in the Arboretum where another ritual is underway, guarded by several Knights. This Shrine device also emits screams
Destroy Hive Shrine Demolish the Hive Shrine used in their ritual
The player destroys the Shrine, causing another Ritual Hierarch to appear.
Defeat the Hierarch Eliminate the Ritual Hierarch
The player kills the Hiearch and its minions and continues on inside, to where they drop down several stories into the Hive colony, where several tunnels and other passages connect around a large hole in the ground sealed by a Hive magic barrier interacted with during the Savathun's Song strike.
Ghost: We tear this altar down, we stop that horrible noise.
Sloane: The sooner the better. We're hearing that sound on all sensors now. Feeling it, too.
The Shrine is a little ways back from this central hole, inside the passage and guarded by more Hive.
Destroy Hive Shrine Demolish the Hive Shrine used in their ritual
The player destroys the Shrine. More Hive appear.
Defeat the Hive Take down Hive congregants
Another Hierach appears during the fight
Defeat the Hierarch Eliminate the Ritual Hierarch
Ghost: Hey team! We've torn down the altars.
Holliday: Then we got a problem. Those must have been transmitters, not the source. Ritual's still going on. We're jittering up, down and sideways over here.
Sloane: I feel... sick.
Holliday: Keep it together, girl.
Find the source Search for the primary source of the waves
The player continues through the passage, which is now open since the Shrine's destruction. They enter into a large room, with a gigantic Hive Crystal in the center of it, screaming rhythmically, as per the Hive norm. The Hive are bowed down in worship to the Crystal and the soul of the Ascendant Hive therein, becoming combative upon detecting the player's entry into the room.
The player kills the Hive and approaches the Crystal.
Ghost: Sloane, there's a giant crystal in here... it's SINGING.
Sloane: Neutralise it!
Stay alive Survive the onslaught of Hive
Hive reinforcements arrive, commencing battle with the player in an effort to protect the crystal.
The player kills the Hive, drawing out their leader, Nalcthor, the Crystaline, who enters the field surrounded by Cursed Thralls just waiting to be exploded.
Ghost: That Knight, he's singing like the crystal. Are they... drawing power from each other?
Defeat the Knight Destroy the singing Knight
The player defeats Nalcthor.
Sloane: We're stable again! Whatever you did, it worked. My... stomach thanks you.
Holliday: Got a wild idea. How 'bout you send me that rock for analysis? Whaddaya say?
Ghost: One big glowy rock, coming right up
Transmat the crystal Plant a transmat beacon and send the crystal to Amanda
Plant Transmat Beacon
The crystal disappears.
Holliday: You're a beaut, aren't ya? Ohh, the tests I'm going to run on you. I wonder how many pistons you can power. Sparrow thrusters, obviously, but what about warp drives, or...?
Sloane: I'm sure I'm going to hear all about what Amanda will use that for. What were the Hive doing with it?
