As the Guardians worked in reaping the Nightmares and investigating the Leviathan's current condition, Eris Morn would find a statue of the former Emperor where the Darkness had coalesced inside and, more importantly, connected to Calus's very consciousness. Managing to catch that connection, Eris could allow the Guardians to enter Calus's very mind and steal his darkest secrets, but warned them that even though they are entering into a world born of Calus's thoughts, it will be no less dangerous than reality. Entering the rift, the Guardians explore the reaches of a palace-like environment but to Eris's surprise, they find the imprints of Calus's consciousness are fractured and straining. This makes it apparent that Calus was at war with himself. As they collected pieces of Calus's memories and recollections of his past, the Guardians hear echoes of the former Emperor, something that Eris believed were Calus's personal torment.<ref name="Duality">'''Bungie (2022/5/24)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Haunted]] - [[Duality (dungeon)|Duality]]''</ref> | As the Guardians worked in reaping the Nightmares and investigating the Leviathan's current condition, Eris Morn would find a statue of the former Emperor where the Darkness had coalesced inside and, more importantly, connected to Calus's very consciousness.

As they traversed the former Emperor's mindscape, the Guardians heard every repressed personal thought of Calus, from his rise to power, overthrowing the Praetorate, his drunken stupors to the moment Ghaul led the coup against him. As they progressed, the Guardians faced off against the [[Nightmare of Gahlran, Sorrow Bearer]]. Despite the danger, the Guardians prevail against the Nightmare and collect more memories of Calus's time during his exile before coming into contact with [[The Witness]], vowing to become its herald and be the last being left in the universe before the end. Their journey through the expansive world of Calus's mind would ultimately have the Guardians confront a phantom of the Emperor's daughter, the [[Nightmare of Caiatl, Princess-Imperial]]. After a struggle, using the reality of Calus's mind against it, the Guardians managed to defeat Nightmare of Caiatl before claiming the last of Calus's repressed memories. With Eris's aid, the Guardians returned to their reality and gleaned from Calus's nightmares that the former Emperor was seeking a transfiguration of sorts, believing it would help him understand the goals of the Witness. Recalling Calus mentioning the "final shape" that Eris has heard before in Hive Apocrypha and from Toland, she claimed that, by understanding the true goals of what the Witness seeks, they might be able to prevent a second Collapse.<ref name="Duality" | As they traversed the former Emperor's mindscape, the Guardians heard every repressed personal thought of Calus, from his rise to power, overthrowing the Praetorate, his drunken stupors to the moment Ghaul led the coup against him.
