Avgust paced over to Orkrim, picking up the Warlock to help him to his feet—as he helps Orkrim support his weight and walk. Helping him over to the first obstacle, the Vanguard soon realised it would be difficult to have Orkrim climb up it himself. Nearly four metres up to the first ledge, the Vanguard helped Orkrim rest as he removed his hardcase from its mount—removing a few straps from the bag as he tossed the hardcase to a side—using the frame of his backpack to strap Orkrim in as he prepared for the climb himself.

"Orkrim, I need you to do your best to hold on—not sure how secure these straps are and it will be quite a fall if they break now..." Avgust grunted, as he was slowly beginning to realise the weight of the two combined working on the climb. His body was nearly beginning to break down and cease operations, but the Vanguard pressed on as Svarog attempted to relieve his pain with its Light.

Eventually conquering the first climb, Avgust prepared for the second portion as he slowly made his way up this one as well—heading on to the final stretch which would allow them to exit Enxor's chambers. The Vanguard's body was now screaming with torment, as he was becoming slower and less stable with his climbing techniques. But still he pressed on, realising that if he were to fail now—it would mean not only his death, but the death of one of his Fireteam members and trusted friends.

At the final hold before pulling the two up to safety, Avgust felt his fingers beginning to slide away from their grasp. Dragging his nails across the floor he was about to mount—two hands seized his and began pulling with all their might back towards safety. Pulling himself up with Orkrim as well, the Vanguard wheezed and quivered with exhaustion as he looked up to see who had helped pull him up, seeing the familiar shape of Sara.

"You needed help?" The young Titan asked, as she helped Avgust get to his feet. "I-I'll be fine..." Avgust replied, "«spasibo», but I need you to help Orkrim. You still doing fine, Warlock?"
