During the [[Ghosts of the Deep]] [[Dungeon]], Ecthar makes his reappearance as Ecthar, Shield of [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Savathûn]], now resurrected as a Hive Lightbearer. He serves as the second encounter and the first boss in the dungeon. He first ambushes players when they arrive in the submerged part of the arena, using [[Sentinel Shield]] to resist the lethal pressure. Once the [[Guardian]]s disturb the [[Acolyte]]s above, Ecthar will emerge and begin the battle.

Once the [[Guardian]]s disturb the [[Acolyte]]s above, Ecthar will emerge an begin the battle.


At the beginning of the encounter, Ecthar will be invincible and roam around the arena, attacking with his [[Boomer]] and [[Suppressor Grenade]]s and erecting Towering Barricades, alongside his numerous reinforcements. Once the [[Blistered Knight]]s and [[Keeper of the Deep]] are slain, the Shield of Savathûn will cast Sentinel Shield again and return to the submerged section. Here, he will chase after players trying to activate the correct symbols, with his shield smashes knocking considerable amounts of pressure resistance off of a Guardian's bar.

Once the statues around the arena are correctly lit, Ecthar will reemerge from the central pool, still invincible and coated in his [[Super]]. Players must slay the [[Wellkeeper Knight]] that appeared nearby and stand in the well it dropped in order to damage Ecthar. Knocking out his shield will deactivate Sentinel Shield, forcing the Knight to fight normally until the well disappears, at which point the battle's mechanics will restart from the beginning.

When Ecthar is killed, players must crush his [[Ghost]] to fully defeat him, lest he returns to life and forces them into another rune decryption. Destroying the Ghost will complete the encounter.
