For those of you who have not heard, Luke Smith did say we have not seen everything Kings Fall had to offer yet. Implying that hard mode might be a continuation on normal mode. The grimoire seems to be written in a "[i][b]do you know what you've done??[/b][/i] kind of way, saying things like "Youve toppled the Taken king without anyone to replace him" and "you weren't supposed to touch the light". It states that there must be a "strongest one" and asks "why we are leaving". Based on the grimoire I am predicting hard modes story to be "replacing the taken king" as much as it sounds like everything we have been attempting to bring to an end. I havnt read much on Akka, but I think he was the one who brought oryx into the darkness or something like that. Im thinking Each week we will have to start on normal mode and once we are done with normal mode continue on to hard mode, starting in the throne room. Possibly a jumping puzzle off the edge on oryx's startin position. I cant say for sure what we will do, but I think we might confront Akka himself. TL/DR: we go through normal mode first every week, then start from the throne room to confront Akka himself in hard mode. Edit: I guess Oryx killed Akka, so that is out of the question. But maybe I am onto something still, just got the final piece wrong
