[[Destiny 2]] reveals that Ghosts enter a temporary catatonic state when the [[Light]] is cut off from them. Much like their Guardians, the Lightless Ghosts are severely weakened and damaged. Worse, should the Guardians be killed, then they will be unable to resurrect them. Fortunately, the Guardians are able to regain their light from a broken shard of the Traveler in the [[European Dead Zone]].
