A Hasty Voyage

Begin your journey to Zereth Mortis by mounting the anima wyrm.

• Anima Wyrm ridden
• Portal to Zereth Mortis entered

The path to Zereth Mortis is open.

We must part ways here. The Eternal Ones are forbidden from returning to the place of our creation. Zovaal has defied the most sacred laws of the Progenitors.

You must undertake this journey alone.

Go. Find a foothold in Zereth Mortis so that we can send the covenant forces through.

Then we will pursue the Jailer and end his madness.

You will receive:

• 8,150 XP
• Emblem of Renown

This... certainly is not Oribos.

The Primus has some gossip:

• We must stop Zovaal's madness. Everything depends upon it.

As soon as the player mounts the Anima Wyrm, Pelagos runs up to them.

• Numerous Mawsworn kyrian appear, flying up from the Maw below to fill the skies above the Crucible, while bits of Maw energy begin peppering the platform. The functionary reveals her true form as a Dreadlord Infiltrator. The Primus and the covenant forces begin fighting her while the wyrm takes off.

The player is placed in a single-player scenario.

• Defeat the Mawsworn Invaders swarming the Arbiter's chamber.
• Mawsworn forces defeated (0/100%)

The wyrm begins flying in a wide circle through the sky, which is filled by Mawsworn Wardens, Soulseekers, and Winged Soul Eaters (ridden by untargetable Mawsworn) which all rapidly attack the wyrm, steadily chipping away at its health. However, it can't actually be reduced below 1 health.

• say

The player gains access to two vehicle abilities: Spam Blast of Decay (which doesn't require targeting) and use Necrotic Barrage whenever available to fill the bar. Once the bar has been filled, two Mawsworn Wardens fly up on either side of the wyrm and latch onto it with chains.

• yell
• say

A third Warden flies up in front of the wyrm and launches and orb of Maw energy at it, triggering a short cutscene of the Maw Walker and Pelagos getting knocked off the mount and falling down toward the Maw. Luckily, they land on a Winged Soul Eater that happens to be passing below them, knocking its unfortunate rider off and taking over the soul eater as their new mount.

• Your mount was slain. You have landed on the back of a Winged Soul Eater. Grab the reins!
• Winged Soul Eater controlled (0/100%)

The player has three abilities:

Use each ability when prompted by the Soul Eater's behavior. Each correct usage gives 20% progress on the bar.

• bossemote (Kick)
• bossemote (Hold Tight!)
• bossemote (Pull the Reins)

At 100%, it's time for another cutscene:

• The Primus, fighting alongside Kleia, disintegrates the Dreadlord Infiltrator with his magic. He looks up at the Maw Walker and Pelagos flying around on the soul eater and notices three Mawsworn kyrian gathering a large orb of Maw energy.
• say
• The Maw Walker and Pelagos head for the portal just as the Mawsworn launch the orb. It's a tight race, but they reach and fly through the portal a moment before the missile impacts and disables the gateway. Kleia looks in shock at the place where her soulbind just disappeared, while the Primus shakes his head.

On the other side of the cutscene, the player finds themselves on the Path of Inception in Zereth Mortis. The Winged Soul Eater is lying dead on the path in front of them, and Pelagos stands waiting even further ahead into the mist. On approach:
