As the Coalition continues to retrieve the rest of Riven's Clutch, the Ahamkara eventually reveals to them that the fifteenth wish only allows for one individual to pursue the Witness into the Pale Heart. Despite this setback, [[Uldren Sov|Crow]] comes up with the solution that he should be the one to enter the Pale Heart and that he and Mara could use their connection to open the way for everyone to enter. Eventually the Guardian receives the final egg from Scorn under the command of [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]] before entering the code for the fifteenth wish. With their bargain complete, Riven grants them the wish, allowing Crow to enter the portal into the Pale Heart. Ultimately Riven's essence becomes spent as she fades away just like Taranis before her, with Mara promising to look after her clutch.

Attempting to prevent Crow's entry into the Pale Heart, the Sol Divisive would recreate the [[Black Heart]] with the guidance of the Witness, taking the place of the Veil in the entanglement. To bring an end to their intervention, the Guardian enters into the Black Garden, destroying its Heart once more by defeating its new vessels known as the Temporal Progeny. With the interference halted, Crow enters into the Pale Heart before being bested in a dual by the now resurrected [[Cayde-6]]. However upon noticing Crow's [[Glint|Ghost]], Cayde lowers his weapon and helps Crow to his feet as they glance in the distance to see pulses of Light emerging from the Witness's Monolith.

Beginning their journey to the memory of the ritual site, the Guardian fights there way through Taken and Dread forces. They would also be taunted by the Witness, who proclaims their efforts against it yield them nothing. While the Guardian engages with Taken and Dread units, Zavala, Ikora, Cayde, and Crow are ambushed by swarms of Hive. Zavala orders the Guardian to continue their pursuit while also telling them that the Witness is aware that there are dissenting voices within its collective. As the Guardian slays an Imprint of Nezarec to lower the barrier, the Witness would attempt to convince them to renounce their efforts to assist the Traveler. Arriving at [[The Sacrarium|the Sacrarium]], the Guardian traverses across the platforms to eventually arrive into a cave. Contemplating the dissenters guidance, Ikora comes to realize that they could use the power of the Light to destroy the Witness. With the doorway in the cave blocked by a barrier, the Guardian interacts with a resonance shell to gain the ability to pass through resonance barriers. They enter into a glass gateway to arrive into a cavern filled with dioramas of Ghost with red eyes as the Witness attempts to persuade them to destroy their Ghost. Reaching another cavern, the Guardian interacts with another resonance shell to delve into the room below and slay the two [[Resonant Warder|Darkblade]]s within to reveal Glyphs upstairs. Returning upstairs, they activate the correct ones to bring forth [[Eshkin'tuk, Witness's Blessed]], defeating the Taken Knight to dispel the Blight blocking the entrance. With the Guardian persisting in their efforts, the Witness declares that they merely desire endless challenge through the [[Sword Logic]].

Exiting the cave to return outside and setting forth in another glass entrance, the Guardian enters another cavern where the Witness coaxes them to ascend to their potential as an admired hero of the Last City by showing them dioramas. Eventually the Guardian emerges from this cave and arrives at a large Pyramidal structure leading to the ritual site. The Guardian is then confronted by [[Dolgith, Blade of Reasoning]], who bears an Immunity Shield and summons Taken forces to its aid. Destroying the Blights, the Guardian then enters into a portal to take them to a room where two Darkblades reside. Defeating the Darkblades, they enter another portal to return to the entrance and dispel the Glyphs to retrieve the Aegis and pierce Dolgith's shield. Despite its formidable strength, the Guardian succeeds in vanquishing the Taken Ogre. With Dolgith's defeat, the Witness speaks with the Guardian over the Sword Logic's belief that the strongest being in the universe will ascend to become the Final Shape through endless slaughter. The Witness states that the Hive's Sword Logic was a childish game of violence caused by their obsession with the "first knife" which blinded them to the true nature of the Final Shape. Moreover, the Witness would equate the Guardian's endless battles to the Hive's religious principle, as their victories resulted in them receiving opulent awards, prestigious praise from their acquaintances, and monumental accolades. As the Guardian travels to the ritual site, they are greeted by Mara who succeeded in entering the Pale Heart alongside their allies.

The Witness states that the Hive's Sword Logic was a childish game of brutality, remarking that they were too fascinated by the first knife's violence to never realize what it desired for the Final Shape, comparing this to the Guardian's endless battles. As the Guardian travels to the ritual site, they are greeted by Mara who succeeded in entering the Pale Heart alongside their allies.


Traversing up the ritual site, the Guardian enters another glass gateway where the Witness orders them to take what they are owed. Eventually they reach a room where dioramas of the Vanguard leaders stand. The Witness offered a Guardian a chance to join them not as part of the Final Shape, but as one of its Disciples. Ghost would interrupt the Witness and tell the entity that Targe belief that it was afraid was correct as it feared what the Guardian was capable of. Enraged at this defiance, the Witness orders them go where they wished, where it would destroy them itself. Upon arriving at the ritual site, the Guardian is confronted by the Witness who manifests itself alongside its Dread forces led by [[Lenurae, Subjugator of Fluxion|two]] [[Molak'al, Subjugator of the Traveler|Subjugator]]s. However after defeating one Subjugator at a time, the Traveler grants the Guardian a sword of Light. Heeding the words of the dissenters, the Guardian gives themselves to Darkness to penetrate into the Witness's consciousness. Within the collective consciousness they discover many of the beings calcified into statues by the Witness, with the dissenters ordering the Guardian to destroy them. Obeying their commands, the Guardian destroys three statues, gravelly wounding the Witness in the process. After the third statue's destruction, the Witness in a fit of rage cut the Guardian out of its collective and would send its Taken to destroy them. Despite being severely wounded, the Guardian escapes the Witness's grasp as they are transmatted onto the H.E.L.M. by Mara Sov.

Despite their victory, the death of the Witness would not come without consequences. Most of the Witness's forces would retreat from the Pale Heart, although its most loyal followers would still continue their attempts at enacting their master's final orders. With her newfound mortality, Xivu Arath would continue to hide in the shadows as she prepared for the next conflict to come, while House Salvation would begin to turn on itself with Eramis's absence. Furthermore, Savathûn and the Lucent Brood would begin their attempts to claim the Pale Heart for themselves, while the Scorn and Taken would be left directionless with the lack of a  commanding will. To learn more of the Scorn's activity, Crow would begin to search for [[Fikrul, the Fanatic|Fikrul]]'s whereabouts.

Due to the Darkness entering into the Pale Heart, the Traveler would begin to transform while an Aurora of Light and Darkness known as the [[Valence]] would begin to pour over Earth. To ensure no casualties occur, the Coalition would designate a no-fly zone within 100 kilometres. Furthermore, [[Echo (object)|Echoes]], paracausal objects of Light and Dark created from the Witness's memories would exit the portal on the Traveler and the Valence. The [[Echo of Command]], comprised of memories of a forgotten race extinguished by the Witness and which possessed the ability to control would arrive into the depths of [[Nessus]]. It would be retrieved by the Conductor, [[Maya Sundaresh]], who would utilize the artifact to transform the Nessian Vex into a new [[Nessian Schism|subtype]] under her command.
