Through the weeks of tithing, Eris Morn reveals to the Guardian that she is now ready to confront Xivu Arath. Arriving at the [[Altar of the Sword]], the Guardian slays the God of War's favoured champion, the [[Leviathan-Eater, Bane of the Ammonites]]. After the champion is slain, the God of Vengeance would have Immaru resurrect Savathûn, Eris would then slay her, gaining all of her power and becoming the most powerful Hive to ever live. However instead of challenging the God of War directly, Eris severs Xivu Arath's connection to her [[Black Terrace|throne world]], making her mortal. Upon completing the ritual, Eris Morn loses her Hive form and her power collapsing to the ground. Savathûn is resurrected once again and Ikora demands for her to reveal to them the way to follow the Witness, however the Hive God merely remarks she has already shown them the way and Ikora does not have the strength to defeat her. The Guardian steps up and claims they do, with a sign Savathûn offers them Immaru as a peace offering before flying away, leaving them confused.

When Savathûn leaves the Vanguard one last gift, the Guardian returns to the engine and lights three braziers to begin the final test. Upon completing the final test, the Guardian enters a room with an uncorrupted Ahamkara egg of [[Riven]]. To keep the egg out of the hands of the Witch Queen, Ikora orders them to retrieve the egg and bring it back to the Athenaeum. When Eris Morn arrives at the H.E.L.M. she discovers that the Guardian  is working on something. The Guardian reveals a sketch of a pattern on Savathûn's wings for the Wishing Wall, revealing she had given them what she had promised, the wish to pursue the Witness.

===Breaching Riven's Lair===
===Breaching Riven's Lair===
{{Expand-section}}
With the bargain being struck, the Guardian is sent to infiltrate [[Riven's Lair]] and retrieve the eggs from the vault within. Upon entering the lair they fight through Sol Divisive Vex, as well as Taken and Scorn who were left leaderless with the Witness's entry into the Pale Heart and Xivu Arath's banishment. However upon reaching the vault they discover it is empty. Riven accuses Mara of stealing her clutch, to which the Awoken Queen quickly states this is not her doing and orders Petra to assemble the Techeuns to discover what happened.
 
Through the Techeuns examinations, Petra reveals that Riven's eggs were scattered across the Ley Lines of the [[Ascendant Realm|Ascendant Plane]]. They also detected a tremendous surge of paracausal energy across the transit system. Despite the challenge ahead of them, Petra believes that they can use the Ley Lines to catch Riven's Clutch, similar to when the Techeuns were lost within the Ascendant Plane.
 
Using the Ley Lines, the Techeuns successfully pull one of Riven's eggs back within her lair, sending the Guardian to retrieve it. They destroy hordes of Vex and a [[Raging Ogre|Taken Ogre]] imprisoned by the Divisive to arrive at [[The Pavilion|the Pavilian]] to confront the [[Aspirational Construct]], a Hydra that contains a dark core and serves as the eyes and ears of the Witness. Despite its power the Guardian destroys the Construct and acquire the egg.
 
Shortly after retrieving the first egg, the Guardian meets with Mara Sov to which she expresses her dissatisfaction of working with Riven. Osiris then arrives and reveals of his study's to recreate the Witness's link through the Guardian's Ghost.
