Spider's Safehouse, The Tangled Shore

The Guardian speaks to the Spider.

The Spider: Now we are friends. And I take friendship seriously. [chuckle] Very seriously. Oh, now don't look at me like that. I would never ask you to do something that wasn't in your own interest, too. Remember that. So. To Business. I will supply you with the Barons' location - with which I am quite familiar, as it was, until recently… MINE.

The Guardian speaks to Petra Venj.

Petra Venj: The Spider gave us a chance to kill them all. One fell swoop. And if Uldren's there too… even better. The traitor prince will not survive us.

The Guardian heads towards the Barons' hideout.

Ghost: Petra is out for blood. But we're here for justice. Aren't we? Anyway, let's hope Spider's tip about Uldren and the Barons' location is solid.

Thieves' Landing, The Tangled Shore

The Spider: This territory was once mine. In the "relocation," I was forced to leave some valuables behind. A proposition, friend… Retrieve my caches, and I will make it worth your while.

The Guardian defeats the Scorn and recovers two of the Spider's caches.

The Spider: Aah, marvelous. Accept my thanks in the form of my belligerent associates.

The Guardian defeats the Scorn with the help of the Spider's Associates and recovers two more caches.

Spider: Many thanks, my profitable friend.

Elkyris, the Machinist appears. The Guardian fights against the Machinist. The Machinist transmats away. The Guardian continues towards the Barons' hideout.

Quitter's Well, The Tangled Shore

The Guardian defeats the Scorn and recovers another one of Spider's caches.

Ghost: Cache on its way, Spider.

A door opens. The Guardian heads through the door. Pirrha, the Rifleman appears.

The Rifleman: Go on… take out your Ghost… I need the target practice.

Ghost: Look out!

The Rifleman: Every shot I take adds another soldier to the Scorn army.

The Guardian defeats the Scorn with the help of Spider's Associates. One of Spider's Associates is killed during the fighting.

Ghost: Spider… we lost one of your guys.

Spider: The cost of doing business, my friend. Do not let it trouble you.

The Guardian finds another one of the Spider's caches in front of a locked door. The cache is transmatted. Two more of the Spider's Associates appear as the door opens.

Ghost: Transmatting cache.

The Guardian enters a large room with a Scorn Walker blocking a door. The Guardian defeats the Scorn Walker and the Scorn in the area. The Guardian continues towards the Barons' hideout.

The Hallowed Lair, The Tangled Shore

The Guardian enters a large room with a cache near a door.

Ghost: ID'd another Spider cache.

The Guardian approaches the cache and attempts to recover it. The cache disappears and a Scorn tether trap appears in its place. A large number of Scorn appear.

Ghost: It was booby-trapped!

The Trickster: [mocking laughter]

The Guardian defeats the Scorn and continues further into the Barons' hideout. Reksis Vahn, the Hangman appears. The Guardian fights against the Hangman. The Hangman disappears.

The Fanatic: You fight… You kill… it pleases me. Pleases King Uldren. You think you will defeat my Scorn, my siblings, AND my father all at once? You think you will succeed where Cayde-6 failed? Kill a Fallen, I claim it as Scorn. Kill a Scorn, I raise ten more!

The Guardian continues further into the Barons' hideout, destroying Scorn fire traps along the way and defeating the Scorn which they encounter.

The Fanatic: I do not need Barons to slaughter you. My Scorn will be enough to end you.

The Guardian enters a large room and finds Fikrul, the Fanatic.

The Fanatic: Rise, my Scorn. Give this dead things its final death.

Scorn of the Fanatic appears. The Fanatic transmats into a small room adjacent to the main room, which is blocked by a barrier. The e Guardian defeats the Scorn of the Fanatic.

The Fanatic: I do not fear the dead. I CONTROL death. And YOU… more use to me alive. Go. Pursue your vengeance. I claim your Fallen victims for my Scorn army.

The Fanatic transmats away.

Ghost: The stronghold is secure… but the Barons escaped. This was our best shot at ending this. And now they've scattered. What are we going to do now?

The back of a playing card with the Spider's symbol on it is shown.

The Spider: [laughs] Oh, you really showed them, didn't you? Piece of advice, eh? Know your enemy before you… deal with them.

A card with a picture of Reksis Vahn, the Hangman, is shown.

The Spider: Reksis Vahn - the Hangman. A silent sadist. Used to dock the arms of Dregs with his bare hands.

The card falls and another card with a picture of Kaniks, the Mad Bomber is shown.

The Spider: Kaniks - the Mad Bomber. Emphasis on "mad." Demolitions expert with an irritating way about him.

The card falls and another card with a picture of Araskes, the Trickster is shown.

The Spider: The Trickster - Araskes. A liar and a schemer. Friendly advice: trust nothing she touches.

The card falls and another card with a picture of Hiraks, the Mindbender is shown.

The Spider: Hiraks - The Mindbender. Has a rep for manipulation. Has a morbid obsession with the Hive.

The card falls and another card with a picture of Yaviks, the Rider is shown.

The Spider: Yaviks, a.k.a. the Rider. The leader of a bombastic gang of Pike-riding heathens. They sow chaos everywhere they ride.

The card falls and another card with a picture of Pirrha, the Rifleman is shown.

The Spider: The Rifleman - Pirrha. The only Fallen alive who could make the shot that mortalized… Cayde-6.

The card falls and another card with a picture of Elykris, the Machinist is shown.

The Spider: Elykris - the Machinist. The scourge of Solis Descent. This one sits atop a trove of tech and heavy armaments stolen from me!

The card falls and another card with a picture of Fikrul, the Fanatic is shown.

The Spider: The Fanatic himself - Fikrul. The leader of the Barons and the first of the Scorn. His dark magic has no place on my Shore. No place!

The card falls and another card with a picture of Uldren Sov is shown.

The Spider: Last and most certainly least… Uldren Sov. Traitor to his people and the man who pulled the trigger. He may be in the wind, but his Barons are ripe for the picking.

The card of Uldren Sov falls and lands in a circle made up of the other Baron's cards. The cards of the Barons move away from the card of Uldren Sov until it is the only remaining card shown.

The Spider: Divide. Conquer. Isolate Uldren. He'll wind up at your feet. And all you have to do… is pull the trigger.

Spider's Safehouse, The Tangled Shore

The Guardian speaks to the Spider.

The Spider: So - even the great "hero of the Red War" has limits. Eight Barons and an Awoken prince - and only one of you. I so dislike betting on the underdog… But you are resourceful… And you do have the Queenless Queen's Wrath in your corner. Ah, you've talked me into it. Our friendship shall continue. Pursue your vengeance. When the Shore is a bit less crowded, we will speak again of favors.

The Guardian speaks to Petra Venj.

Petra Venj: Cayde's killers are still out there, but the hunt is not over. You take down the Barons. Thin the herd. As for Uldren… Did you see that Awoken spire when you landed here? It's called the Watchtower. I shouldn't be telling you this, but… my people's greatest secrets lie beyond that spire. There's no other reason Uldren would come to the Tangled Shore. Sooner or later, he WILL go to the Watchtower. We must stop him BEFORE that happens. Good hunting.
