The Last Chance
Transcript
Ghost: Eris, we're in position. Where are we headed?
Eris Morn: Your destination lies deep within the fortress, Guardian, in the apothecary wing. There, you should find a particular shard of crystal.
Eris Morn: You might recognize it from Savathûn's time in the custody of the Awoken.
Ghost: So this crystal is a piece of her former prison.
Ghost: Which means it was likely on her when she stole the Light.
Eris Morn: Yes. My source believes the events leading to her escape are intrinsically linked to the mystery before us now.
Eris Morn: This crystal could very well be the clue we've been looking for.

Zavala: Eris? What's the situation?
Eris Morn: The Guardian is en route to the object in question now, Commander.
Zavala: Good. You're sure this will get us the answers we need? We can't afford another dead end.
Eris Morn: The Queen of the Reef does not share information lightly.
Zavala: Mara Sov gave you the tip? You didn't mention that before.
Eris Morn: I did, in fact, mention it. To Ikora, moments before you interrupted us.
Eris Morn: She agreed there was no more reliable source on this matter than Savathûn's former captor.
Zavala: I trust Mara, but she plays her cards too close to her chests.
Zavala: If she had shared this earlier, we wouldn't be so desperate now.
Eris Morn: To win against the Hive god of cunning and lies, it's best not to show one's hand too early.
Hive appear
The Guardian defeats the Hive
Ghost: I bet this Hive sword will be just as useful as the last one. Now we need to find a lock to smash open.

Eris Morn: The Witch Queen may have recast her realm in a Lucent sheen, but remnants of Dark architecture still lurk underneath.
Zavala: And the Guardian's new ability reveals these Hidden remnants. Yes, Ikora explained.
Zavala: Why can't we use the Light to achieve the same result?
Eris Morn: The Light may be a powerful force, but when dealing with illusions, it has proven insufficient.
Eris Morn: It is the mind that must bend to see the truths hidden here.
Eris Morn: Thus, only Darkness can show the way.
Zavala: My only fear is where that way will lead us in the end.
Hive appear
Ghost: All right, Guardian, let's focus. To find the way forward, we need a sword and something to smash with it

Lightbearer Acolyte appears

Eris Morn: You've done well honing the gift granted to you by the Black Fleet, Guardian.
Eris Morn: Do you see now, Commander, why Ikora chose as she did?
Eris Morn: For all her doubts, she knew only Darkness, channeled by a strong mind, could bring us this far.
Zavala: I understand. My issue isn't with the call Ikora made, but the fact that she made it on her own.
Zavala: We know how Savathûn operates. She singles people out for a reason. There's no need to make her job any easier.
Zavala: And Eris, I think you know better than anyone that Darkness is not a path to be forged alone.
Eris Morn: She wasn't alone… though I take your point.

The Guardian defeats a Wizard
The entrance to the Apothecary opens
The Guardian enters. Hive appear
Ghost: This is definitely the apothecary wing. Somehow, it feels even creepier in here.
Eris Morn: Naturally. You're trespassing on the testing grounds for the Lucent Hive's most wretched experiments.
The Guardian further traverses the Apothecary
Eris Morn: Savathûn likely appointed one of her high council Wizards to keep watch over this place. Find them. The crystal is sure to be nearby.
The Guardian uses a Hive sword to destroy the material. A Deepsight orb is revealed
The Guardian interacts with the Deepsight Orb. Revealing platforms
Ghost: No signs of a crystal so far. Just rows and rows of jar filled with… is that Light? But it's tainted somehow.
Eris Morn: Savathûn has always encouraged her Wizards to push boundaries of Hive magic. It seems that hasn't changed with the Light.
Eris Morn: Proof, perhaps, that corruption has far less to do with the power… than the one channeling it.
Zavala: Or the power has permanent side effects.
Zavala: Darkness transformed Savathûn and her kin from prey to predators.
Eris Morn: Not Darkness itself, but an entity behind it corrupted the Hive… conditioned their power on an endless blood tithe. Their fate is not inevitable.
Zavala: I have no doubt that some can handle Darkness with discipline. But those who can't? They're not the only ones to pay the price.

Ghost: There's the crystal, Guardian! Time to finish this.
The Guardian defeats Savathûn's Right Hand
The Guardian picks up the crystal. A memory is revealed
Savathûn: Devotion inspires bravery. Bravery inspires sacrifice. And sacrifice…
Ghost: That was Savathûn, all right. But what does that mean?
Eris Morn: This is the evidence we've been seeking all along. Ikora's instincts were correct after all.
