 * GHOST: I've been combing the Cryptarch's records for anything on the Temple of Crota. Listen:
 * MASTER RAHOOL: Long ago, the Moon fell to Crota. He wielded a sword so dark, it drained whatever Light it touched. Now, Crota sleeps, but the Sword does not. The Warlocks believe the Sword is in a chamber guarded by the Swarm Princes. If you face them and steal the sword, we can see that it is never wielded again.

{Gameplay}


 * GHOST: The only way to destroy the sword is to kill its makers, the Swarm Princes. One of them is said to guard a ritual site near the Hellmouth. We'll challenge him first.

The Guardian arrives at the ritual site.


 * GHOST: This is where we'll find him. I hope you're ready.

The Guardian kills Banuk, Ur Prince.


 * GHOST: One down. I'll lead us to the others.

The Guardian heads into The Gatehouse.


 * GHOST: Not to unsettle you, but I'm tracking the Sword by the Light of the Guardians it's killed. It's further below.


 * GHOST: The Sword is close. I can feel its power.

The Guardian finds the Sword of Crota.


 * GHOST: Clear them out!

The Guardian eliminates all nearby Hive enemies.


 * GHOST: Grab the Sword. That should lure them out.

The Guardian grabs the Sword.


 * GHOST: Careful. Its power is dark.

The Guardian kills many Hive enemies.


 * GHOST: Lots of movement, all around us! The Princes are coming for the Sword.

The Guardian kills Garok, Xol Prince, Dakoor, Yul Prince, and Merok, Eir Prince.


 * GHOST: The Sword is gone. They say that was one of the most powerful weapons the Hive ever wielded against us. The Cryptarchs won't believe this.

Trivia
