As the Coalition prepared themselves for the final battle, the Witness would retreat to its Monolith to try and speed up and enact the Final Shape, but would once again be repeatedly stalled by the Traveler. After the Coalition finished preparing their forces, a team of six Guardians infiltrated and stormed the Monolith. The Witness would once again try to convince the Guardians to join its side but to no avail, forcing it to send its most powerful remaining forces to destroy them. Eventually, the fireteam would end up confronting The Witness itself. It would fight viciously, using everything in its power to both rend the Guardians apart and enact the Final Shape, but would fail yet again. The Witness would be wounded even further and its connection to the Traveler and its [[Light]] would be severed entirely, leaving the Final Shape incompletable and causing it to retreat to an unknown location within the Pale Heart to lick its wounds and regather its strength. The Coalition quickly tracked it down, bringing all their might upon the Witness and its forces, with twelve Guardians, including the Guardian themselves, fighting their way through to the Witness, as Savathûn and Mara Sov briefly worked together to block off any chances of it escaping again. | As the Coalition prepared themselves for the final battle, the Witness would retreat to its Monolith to try and speed up and enact the Final Shape, but would once again be repeatedly stalled by the Traveler.

As the Guardians arrived at the Witness's location, It would desperately attempt to destroy its attackers, but with its connection to the Traveler severed, structural integrity falling apart, forces depleted, and no way to truly destroy its attackers for good, its writhing merely delayed the inevitable. Harnessing the powers of both light and dark together, the Guardian and their allies entered into the Witness's collective conciseness again and began destroying more of the Statues holding its collective together. The Dissenters made their voices known to the Witness and begged the Guardians for freedom, not wanting to suffer anymore within its collective. The Witness repeatedly tried to cut the Guardians out of its collective numerous times but could do nothing to stop them from damaging it even further. In a last-ditch effort, it erected a powerful barrier to protect itself as it prepared for one final attack. At that moment, the Guardian's Ghost along with all the other Ghosts knew what to do. At their Ghost's request, the Guardians channeled the Traveler's Light through their Ghosts, each firing a powerful beam of light at the barrier. The combined force of every beam was strong enough to shatter the barrier and rend the Witness apart, finally destroying it for good. In its final moments before diffusing entirely, it pondered how it could not understand why beings would not accept its salvation and find purpose in such chaos within the universe, unable to grasp such a thing. As it perished, the Witness used the singular pronoun 'I' instead of the plural 'We' for the first time. | As the Guardians arrived at the Witness's location, It would desperately attempt to destroy its attackers, but with its connection to the Traveler severed, structural integrity falling apart, forces depleted, and no way to truly destroy its attackers for good, its writhing merely delayed the inevitable.

The fall of The Witness would send shockwaves throughout the system and beyond as many of its forces would scatter at the loss of their master, such as the Scorn and Taken. In addition, the [[House of Salvation]] would turn upon itself with Eramis nowhere to be found. Some, however, would continue to endeavor to fulfil the Final Shape in the Witness's stead, such as Xivu Arath. As Crow would summarize, the Witness's death left a power vacuum, one that various forces are looking to fill. Though the Coalition celebrated the fall of their greatest enemy, the Guardians nonetheless knew that there was still a lot of work to be done.}} | The fall of The Witness would send shockwaves throughout the system and beyond as many of its forces would scatter at the loss of their master, such as the Scorn and Taken.
