'Flooded Inspection, Savathûn's Throne World'

The Guardian transmats to the Flooded Inspection near the Hidden's base of operations in the pyramid. Savathûn: What are you doing in there with the Vanguard's nosy little spies and all those grasping Dread? Terribly churlish of Rhulk to lock me out of the house. And let you of all people in. Clear out the pests while you're there, why don't you? The role of exterminator suits you.

Upon entry to the Hidden's base, the Guardian can approach a device to input different codes by shooting different symbols.

If the Guardian inputs the code: Savathûn Enter Pyramid Savathûn: Oho! Opening the curtains for me? That's a kindness done for a nosy neighbor. Don't mind me watching over your shoulder 'til I can find my own way inside. I'm ever so curious about Rhulk's interior decor.

Or If the Guardian inputs the code: Savathûn Grief Hive Savathûn: Brother, sister. We've grown apart. Taken different paths. As all siblings must do eventually, I suppose. Now here we are standing at the top of the universe. And I find that what I'm looking towards is still you. Is that enough sincerity for you yet?

Or If the Guardian inputs the code: Savathûn Give Guardian Savathûn: Smug piece of creation, aren’t you? Looking for birthday gifts from your darling Auntie Savvie. You’re a grown killing machine. Earn your own gear.

Or If the Guardian inputs the code: Savathûn Remember Worm Savathûn: Do you think I miss him? That moaning little nugget of flesh? Please. Once I find my way into the Pyramid, I’ll come by the Upended and say hello to his mother. Xita's a little pinned down at the moment, but she’s an in-law of sorts. It would be polite. And Guardian, I’m not Ahamkara. If you want to speak with me, you don’t have to push a button.

The Guardian traverses through the Pyramid, eliminating Dread and Hive, before defeating their leadership, Kerrev, the Erased. Savathûn: I could feel that one from all the way outside. Oh my. A failed grasp at power. Poor dears, the Dread are in a pickle. They need something, anything, to feel whole. And you thwart them at every turn. Does that make you feel big and strong? Like a hero? Like a killer?

If the Guardian has found all the codes found throughout the Pyramid (Hive Grief Darkness, Fleet Remember Witness and Worm Give Guardian), the vault door behind Kerrev will open to a room with a large structure with a chest at its base.

Memory of Oryx: As Xivu Arath has her hammer and Savathûn has her scalpel, so the king wields a chisel. With it, I carved the Tablets of Ruin. Anywhere I make my mark, there I create the world anew. There I cut death into the shape of my victory. So it is written. So it is. Aiat. Savathûn: Brother? That Rhulk stepped on even the shadow of Oryx's robes — that he dared to lock away Oryx's secrets! And I, never aware of his tools within my court. I'll break down those walls sooner or later. You can bet your boots on that, Guardian.
