Ikora believes Savathûn can be stopped by showing her the memory of how she and her siblings were tricked by the Witness. Her ritual to steal the Traveler has already begun, so there's no time to lose.

**

Ghost: The Traveler! Ikora, the Traveler is already here. I think we're too late.

Ikora Rey: We are in the domain of the god of cunning. Things are never what they seem. It's not too late. I can feel it.

//The Guardian enters the outskirts of Savathûn's fortress.

Ghost: Now that the Traveler sees what Savathûn is doing, why won't it take the Light away from her? Why is it just letting this happen?

Ikora Rey: I don't know why. We may never know. But we know what we need to do to protect the Last City. Stop the ritual. Protect our connection to the Light. Humanity needs you. Both of you.

//The Guardian continues into the Florescent Canal.

Ikora Rey: Scorn are flocking to the fortress because of the ritual. The Hive are summoning heavy reinforcements from the portal.

Ghost: That will block our route into the fortress.

Ikora Rey: Hold off the Hive and the Scorn as long as you can, and leave the portal to me. I'm on my way.

//The Guardian fights off Scorn and Hive. A large ogre emerges from a portal.

Ikora Rey: Hold your fire, Guardian! I've got this.

//Ikora throws a Nova Bomb at the Ogre, killing it.

Ikora Rey: Go on! I'll draw fire here. All that matters right now is the Traveler. Whatever you hear, whatever you see, don't let it distract you from stopping the ritual.

//The Guardian proceeds onwards to the Court of Thorns.

Ikora Rey: The Scorn are arriving by the hundreds. The ritual must be growing stronger. Remember the plan, Guardian. Stop the ritual by whatever means necessary. Without the Light, the Last City is defenseless.

//The Guardian enters the fortress.

Ghost: The ritual is happening at the top of the fortress. We need to find a way up.

//The Guardian finds way to the top of the fortress.

Savathûn: You're back! What a surprise. Only joking. This throne world is indistinguishable from my own mind, Guardian. Every step taken, every bullet fired, every though whispered... I keep and count them all. Remember that.

//The Guardian enters the Sanctum of the Brood Queen, where they meet Savathûn.

Savathûn: I'm so glad you're here to see this.

//The Guardian defeats Savathûn.

Ghost: There's her Ghost!

//The Guardian becomes threadbound. Savathûn is resurrected.

Savathûn: Fight, run, fight, run. The pattern is always the same for you. Don't you ever get tired of it? Don't you want to escape? Little Ghost... you were asked to accept the Darkness. Asked to turn against your cousins. Asked to defy the will of the Traveler. My Ghosts make no concessions. We serve the Traveler's true interests.

Ghost: No concessions? How stupid do you think I am? You and your siblings, you killed my friends! I remember Crota, and the Great Disaster! I remember Oryx, and the Taken! I remember what you did to the Awoken and the Dreaming City! I'll never forget what happened to Sagira. To Osiris. I would die before I ever chose to help the Hive.

//The Guardian battles with Savathûn. They cannot harm her.

Ghost: She's too powerful. What do we do? We have to reactivate that portal to access the memory altar. Showing her the truth won't stop her, but we need to try.

//The Guardian defeats projections of Savathûn to disrupt the ritual and open the portal.

Ghost: The portal's open!

//The Guardian enters.

Ghost: This is a spell. Savathûn is spinning a web around the Traveler. We have to free it. The tethers are coming from those towers. Find a way to reach them.

//The Guardian defeats a threadweaver.

Savathûn: What do you think you are going to do? You can't stop this. I know it goes against your nature, but you can still lose gracefully.

//The Guardian defeats more threadweavers.

Ghost: Show her the memory, Guardian!

The Witness: [whispers] These frail siblings will soon be claimed by the Light. Unless we claim them first.

Savathûn: What is this? How did you—

The Witness: We will tell the most cunning sibling of a cataclysm. A prophecy... of great loss.

Savathûn: No... no, that's not what happened. The Traveler never came to us. We were forced to choose the Deep. How could I have missed this? So now you want to play games? Then let's play.

Ghost: The spell's almost broken.

Savathûn: So you're the expert now? The expert on me, on the Hive, on trickery. Is that what you really think?

The Witness: We will feed her fear. Her pride.

Savathûn: Go on, then. You know so much? Tell me who I am!
