At the top of his warship, Ghaul faces off against the Guardian he defeated before but this time infused with some of the Traveler's Light, having successfully stolen it and becoming a [[Lightbearer]].

However, the Light that was bestowed upon him was corrupted. After a fierce battle between the two Light-infused warriors, Ghaul was nonetheless defeated. With his death, Ghaul attempted to use [[Radiance]], and is resurrected as a massive ethereal figure due to his corrupted Light, and he declared himself immortal as he speaks to the Traveler directly. In doing so, the Traveler wakes from its slumber, destroying the device that was harvesting its power and then destroyed Ghaul himself, sending a massive shockwave across the planet and system, restoring the Light and ending Ghaul's threat forever. For the first time in history, the Red Legion had known true defeat and the leader of their people, their strongest warrior and Dominus, is now dead.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/8/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Chosen]]''</ref> | ||

Dominus Ghaul | Dominus Ghaul was the main boss of the [[Story]] mission [[Chosen]]. He mainly attacked with a one-handed [[Projection Rifle]] for long-ranged fire and summoned a Quake shockwave when faced up close, but constantly shifted through different [[Light]]-based attacks. The first was the [[Solar]] Slicer, where, like a [[Dawnblade]], he rose up into the air and threw flaming [[Cabal Severus]] at the player, which inflicted a burning effect upon a direct hit. The second was a [[Void]] shield, where he became immune to damage as he charged up the attack shortly before releasing it, creating a giant dome that slowed the player down when trapped inside. The third was [[Arc]] Wrath, where he hurled Arc energy spheres, which left behind a shockwave that dealt damage over time. This constant shift in attacks made Ghaul a dangerous foe. | ||
