The Dark Below
Soon after the events of the original story, a former Guardian named Eris Morn lands at The Tower in hopes of warning the Guardians of an ancient Hive Prince’s return. Named Crota, he has sent his legions down to Earth, lead by his general Omnigul, in hopes of capturing the Warmind Rasputin. She is soon intercepted by the Guardian, and in the fight, her massive Hive Ogre called the Might of Crota perishes. You are then sent to the Moon in hopes of destroying a crystal that has some of Crota’s soul trapped inside of it.
Once complete, you are sent back down to Earth in order to fill up an urn with the ashes of fallen Hive soldiers and a legendary knight called Urzok, the Hatred. Soon after filling the urn, you’re sent out to slay a variety of powerful Hive soldiers called the Heart of Crota, Eyes of Crota, and Hand of Crota. Once these beast have been destroyed, you move on to the last chain in Crota’s command, Omnigul. Chasing her through a destroyed factory on Earth, the Guardian corners her and eventually puts an end to her powerful magic.
Despite all of these efforts, both Eris and the Guardian could not stop Crota’s resurrection. Six Guardians are quickly assembled and sent into the Hive stronghold located deep within the Moon. After completing a series of challenges, including a series of absurdly unsafe bridges, the team slays the Hive Prince with his own sword. The Hive have been pushed back… for now. Congrats, you’ve finished The Dark Below.
