-During the initial battle between the Traveler and the Witness in Earth's orbit, it was revealed the Traveler struck the Witness' [[Essence|Pyramid]] with a [[Light]]-infused terraforming beam.

 Seeking to find the source of the mysterious provocateur haunting Neomuna, [[The Guardian]] lead a fireteam of six to investigate the now-derelict ship. Upon exploration of the interior, Nezarec greeted the intrepid fireteam upon their arrival.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/02/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Nezarec: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmh_7JjHhtE "Oh, You Have Arrived. Good"]''</ref> After hoping that his messages having reached them, the disciple had considered they would leave him to rot in his crystalline sarcophagus, but remarks that Guardians cannot resist unanswered questions or a challenge.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/02/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Nezarec: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LETkwelS5eY "I'm Glad My Messages Reached You"]''</ref> Upon reaching his tomb, Nezarec began channeling his hatred into massive waves of overwhelming paracausal energies which threaten to wipe the team on top of the Shadow Legion reinforcements. The fireteam are forced into a relay race where they link nodes of Light together and supply paracausal energy into the root connected to the Disciple's sarcophagus. [[Cavum of Nezarec|Cavum]] Tormentors are also called forth at the beckoning of their progenitor but were also dispatched to keep his hatred momentarily delayed. Upon them completing the encounter, Nezarec is invigorated by how familiar and yet different his new power feels.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/02/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Nezarec: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni9anzH41R4 "This Power is Familiar, Yet... Different"]''</ref>
-The fireteam traveled throughout the shattered interior of Essence, fighting the Shadow Legion while they overcharged the Tree's root with Light and Darkness energies, growing even bigger across the Pyramid's architecture and its energy fed into Nezarec's tomb to which he could hear its shifting and even taste the paracausality on his tongue.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/02/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Nezarec: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWqDcTyQBMA "The Shifting Roots Across the Pyramid's Architecture"]''</ref> When enough energy was fed into the coffin, large contractions of Resonant energy began to pulse from it, threatening the fireteam with extermination if they failed to attune with it. Along the way, he recalls his past encounter with the [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen|Witch Queen]] having killed him and cursed his remains before whisking the Veil away to Neptune. Despite his loathing, he applauds her efforts.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/02/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Nezarec: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmWM4BwyfKs "She Whisked Away the Veil to Neptune"]''</ref> Nezarec would also remark about the current state of his remains, asking the Guardians if anyone had suffered from the pieces they took and if they knew who currently possessed them.<ref name="Barely Anything Left of Me"/>

 Once the team reaches [[Zo'aurc, Explicator of Planets|Zo'aurc's]] location at [[Macrocosm]], Nezarec told them to tear the Cabal apart since he is not as accomplished as the Guardians in their short time there.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/02/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Nezarec: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7XSIzNl6xk "Tear That Useless Sack of Meat Apart For Me"]''</ref> After killing the [[Incendior]] and overcharging even more paracausal energies into the root, the Disciple remarks how fascinated he is by the lengths they went to reach their goals, labeling them as "emissaries of pain and death".<ref>'''Bungie (2023/02/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Nezarec: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9XtTTW_cWQ "Emissaries of Pain and Death"]''</ref> As they approach back to his now terraformed [[Cataclysm|tomb]], he tells them to free him so he may experience the world again with his new perspective.<ref>'''Bungie (2023/02/28)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Lightfall]] - Nezarec: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drD5vucIz08 "I Have Been Trapped for a Very Long Time"]''</ref>
