===Hunt for Riven's Clutch===
{{Expand-section}}
With the Coalition's discovery of an uncorrupted Ahamkara egg from [[Riven]]'s clutch within [[Savathûn's Spire]], they would learn that the only way to pursue the Witness into the Pale Heart was to make a wish with an Ahamkara for a pathway. Regardless of the risks of bargaining with an Ahamkara, Mara Sov orders her Techeuns to conjure Riven's spirit. As the Guardian was sent to assist the Techeuns, Crow would converse with [[Petra Venj]], expressing his disappointment that he wasn't there to witness the killing blow. Astoundingly, the Wueen's Wrath would apologize for killing him as Uldren due to being blinded by her desire for vengeance. Although the Guardian succeeds in awakening Riven's spirit and using the [[Wall of Wishes]] to enact the 15th Wish, Riven refuses to grant it. Eventually, Mara and Riven would agree to a bargain where they would retrieve her uncorrupted eggs within her [[Riven's Lair|lair]] in exchange for her granting them the wish.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/11/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Final Wish (mission)|Final Wish]]''</ref> However they would learn that Riven's eggs were missing as they had been scattered across the Ascendant Plane, forcing Mara and her Techeuns to use the Ley Lines to bring them back into the lair. Due to his distrust of Riven, Crow would confide with Osiris over his fear of being exploited as a pawn once again. Osiris would understand Crow's concern, remarking of his own experience being trapped by Savathûn and the regret of watching her commit actions he would never condone. Furthermore, when Crow asked Osiris whether any advice he was given by Savathûn was genuine, the former Warlock would state that although Uldren may have not been in full control of his choices, his actions still left a detrimental impact. Finally, Osiris would answer his question by advising him to hold onto the advice.

Frustrated about their partnership with Riven, Crow would converse with Petra at the H.E.L.M. about his distrust of the Ahamkara, while also blaming himself for the Curse of the Dreaming City. Petra would consolidate him by as she reminded him that Riven utilized their grief against them. Despite knowing the consequences of trusting Riven, Crow agrees with Petra that pursuing the Witness was the more important priority. Later, when the Guardian was sent to recover the third egg, Crow would be taunted by Riven for his role in the creation of the Scorn, angering the former Awoken Prince.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/12/12)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Enthymeme]]''</ref> Shortly after their recovery of the egg, Mara Sov would apologize to Crow for having to bargain with Riven, affirming that what she did to him as Uldren was inexcusable. Crow would respond to Mara by stating that he understands that she was only trying to protect him due to their bond as siblings. Furthermore, Crow remarked that he could still sense her presence in the Ascendant Plane as Uldren and that Riven was only capable of manipulating him due to how powerful their connection is. Ultimately, Crow would agree with Mara that they would stand together once again just like how they did during the Collapse.

When the Techeuns pulled another egg back into Riven's Lair, Crow would guard the Confluence from the surface while the Guardian would be sent to retrieve the egg before the [[Sol Divisive]]. Astonishingly, Crow and his allies would discover that the Sol Divisive were bringing forth [[Oracle]]s from the [[Vault of Glass (location)|Vault of Glass]], radiating with Resonance. Ultimately the Sol Divisive would succeed in retrieving the egg thanks to their exceptional ability to simulate the Techeuns.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/12/19)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Apophasis]]''</ref> However not all hope was lost as Crow would track the egg's location to the [[Black Garden]] by utilizing the Darkness connection in the Oracles. Due to the Guardian using Riven's personal route to enter the Black Garden, Crow would question the Ahamkara on her connection to this enigmatic realm, but would only receive vague answers. Furthermore, Crow would begin to hear whispers as the Guardian approached the entrance of another Ahamkara lair. As the Guardian battled their way through hordes of Vex to retrieve the egg, Riven would recognize this Ahamkara as her mate, [[Taranis]], and plead with Crow to allow Taranis to speak through him. Obeying her request, Taranis would briefly speak through Crow and reveal that he was responsible for scattering the clutch after Riven was Taken to ensure their protection.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/12/19)''', ''[[Destiny 2]], [[Season of the Wish]] - [[Starcrossed]]''</ref> After the mission was complete, Petra would speak with Crow over the comms and request that he reach out to his former companion, [[Jolyon Till]] to rekindle their bond.

With Riven clarifying that the wish would only be able to send one through the gateway, Crow devises a plan: he would be the first one to enter the Pale Heart and him and Mara could use their physic connection to open the way into the Traveler. Sometime after disclosing his plan with the Guardian, Crow alongside Osiris would explain his proposal to Mara Sov. Although she would initially be against his plan due to fearing for his safety, Mara would agree to his proposal, ultimately realizing that she could not control his fate. Additionally, Crow would assure Mara of his commitment over the radio, motivated by his desire to discover his purpose. While Mara would apologize for emotionally manipulating him as Uldren, Crow would take responsibility for his blind devotion and vowed to not let it blind him once again. Eventually, as their bargain with Riven was complete after retrieving the other egg, Crow would speak with the Guardian, thanking them for the opportunity they had given him prior to preparing for his journey. Arriving at the Spirit's Anchor along with Mara and Petra, Riven would grant the fifteenth wish: creating a portal into the Pale Heart. Before entering into the portal, Crow would vow with Mara that they would reunite once again. With the portal beginning to dissipate, Crow would think about the esteemed former Hunter Vanguard, [[Cayde-6]] as he would enter the portal into the Pale Heart.
