The War against the Witness is an ongoing conflict being fought all across Sol between Humanity and its allies and the forces of Darkness led by the Witness, with other parties being involved as well. After dealing with the threat Savathûn, the Witch Queen and her brood posed on Sol, the Vanguard began to shift their attention to prepare for the Witness's arrival. The Vanguard and its allies would take on the threaten imposed by Calus's return and plans to become a disciple, would task The Guardian with securing the relics of Nezarec, and they would aid Ana Bray and Osiris with rebuilding Rasputin in order to both have a means of defense against the Witness and also help Osiris confirm his visions were true.

Shortly after the the final assault on Seraph Station the Witness would arrive with its fleet, along with its newest disciple: Calus. Despite their best efforts, the Witness managed to establish a link with The Veil after hijacking The Guardian's Ghost and thus begun the Final Shape. While The Guardian aided in prison break operations across Earth, the Vanguard would repeatedly try to find a way through the portal, all attempts ending in failure. After the reemergence of Titan, the Vanguard would discover that Sloane had survived the disappearance, although she was no partially infused with Taken energy. The Vanguard also discovered that Sloane had befriended Ahsa, a proto-worm that had fled to Titan after the Witness caused her species to slaughter itself in the name of the Sword Logic. After strengthening their psychic connection, Ahsa would reveal to Sloane, and the rest of the Vanguard, about the origins of the Witness and the Final Shape, and that the key to getting through the portal was held by none other than Savathûn herself. After some reluctance, The Vanguard reached an agreement with Immaru, Savathûn's Ghost, in which he would help them bring back Savathûn, under one condition: they deal with her sister, Xivu Arath, first.
