====Kell's Fall====
After the revival of Skolas, Fikrul would retreat to [[The Watchtower]] within the Tangled Shore, which had been converted into a [[Revenant Fortress]]. He began to fall deeper into madness, becoming increasingly desperate to prove his worth as Kell of Kells and as a savior for his children, not just as a mistake born of Ahamkara magic. But unbeknownst to the Fanatic, the Guardian would later learn about Fikrul's new stronghold through information given to them by Spider. Meanwhile, Eido began to try to weaponize her experiments against the Scorn. She gifted the Guardian the framework for a [[Slayer's Fang|new weapon]] and asked them to storm the Revenant Fortress and collect some practical data so that it may come to life.{{Citation needed}}

The Guardian soon arrived at the Revenant Fortress and were greeted by many scorn watching them from afar. They did not attack because for Fikrul to claim the title of Kell of Kells, he must be seen killing the Guardian first. As the Slayer Baron navigated their way through the Fortress, they would discover that residual energy from the Echo created a reflective dimensional projection of the fortress, known as the [[Revenant Plane]]. Fikrul had also used the Echo's power to resurrect a few of the same Scorned Barons that the Guardian once killed during their quest to avenge Cayde-6; [[Araskes, the Trickster]], who would show up multiple times throughout the mission, [[Kaniks, the Mad Bomber]], who occupied the fighting pits within the Fortress, and [[Hiraks, the Mindbender]], who managed to master the ability to travel between the material plane and the Revenant plane. The Guardian would once again defeat each of these Barons one at a time. However, their victory would be short-lived as Fikrul would show up seconds later to revive them again while also announcing that he and his scorn no longer feared the violence and death the Guardian brought to them and once again proclaimed himself as a savior for all Eliksni. He also mentions how because of him, the scorn were finally free to be themselves, no longer serving under the yolk of other oppressors like Uldren and the Witness. Eventually, After finally despatching Araskes, the Guardian would end up confronting Fikrul within his throne room. However, midway through the fight, The Fanatic would retreat and summon another Scorned Baron to fight for him, [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman]]. Like the other previous barons, the Guardian would eliminate the Hangman as they did before and claim his flail to assist Eido in making stronger tonics. They also managed to complete Eido's framework, adding a new weapon to their arsenal. But with no way to permanently kill Fikrul, the Guardian would withdraw and return to The Last City to plan their next move.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/10/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Revenant]] - [[Kell's Fall|Kell's Fall: Reflection]]''</ref>

As the Guardian prepared for another attack on Fikrul's Fortress, Eramis revealed that Fikrul had captured [[Ixis]], an Eliksni apothecary from Old Riis, who had been sending secret messages from within her cell on a public frequency under Fikrul's nose to Eido. Following Ixis' notes, Eido began to craft a special Tonic that would alter the polarity of Ether within an Eliksni and purge the Darkness from their body, suffusing it with Light. This could make Fikrul mortal and allow him to be permanently killed.{{Citation needed}} With this information in mind, the Guardian ventured Fikrul's Fortress again to find and rescue Ixis. Upon arriving at the Apothecary's cell, Ixis expressed in her native tongue that she would continue to assist Eido in crafting her Tonic of Either Clarification. However, she would do so from within her cell as she despised the Humans of the Last City. She would also continue to study the Revenant Scorn and report her findings to Eido as she was too valuable of an asset for Fikrul to kill or convert into Scorn due to her knowledge of Ether. After this conversation, the Guardian would confront Fikrul again in his throne room. Like last time, Fikrul would retreat and summon another of his champions to fight for him midway through the fight; the [[Screeb Matriarch]]. The Guardian would slay the Abomination and withdraw back to the Last City once again, with Crow stating that the next time they return, it will be to finish the job.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/10/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Revenant]] - [[Kell's Fall|Kell's Fall: Distortion]]''</ref>

As the Guardian prepared to confront Fikrul for a final time, Eido finished the Tonic of Ether Clarification, placing it into a Paracausal Injector and sending the Tonic over to the Guardian.{{Citation needed}} With the final battle for the title of Kell of Kells fast approaching, the Guardian would venture back to the Revenant Fortress for a third run to end the Fanatic once and for all. The Guardian would storm through the Fortress, killing Araskes, Kaniks, and Hiraks once again before confronting Fikrul for the final time in his throne room. This time, Fikrul did not summon another champion to fight for him; he would face the Guardian by himself to show everyone that he was not a mistake, he was worthy to become Kell of Kells. The Slayer Baron and the Fanatic engaged each other in a great battle until Fikrul prepared to unleash a powerful Arc energy attack, forcing the Guardian to retreat into the Revenant Plain. Fikrul would follow them but, at that moment, the Guardian shattered the mirror gateway behind him, stunning Fikrul on the spot. The Guardian proceeded to unload their entire arsenal upon the Fanatic, causing him to retreat into the material plain. The Guardian chased after him and found Fikrul greatly weakened but still willing to continue the fight. With the Eido's Tonic in hand, the Guardian rushed Fikrul and stabbed the Tonic into his chest, piercing his heart and injecting the Tonic into his body. Fikrul tried to pull the injector out of himself, but it was already too late as the tonic began to work its magic, slowly killing him from within. With his final breath, he asked who would save his children before finally perishing as he succumbed to the Tonic effects, relieving the Echo of Riis from his grasp and ending his Revenant Scorn Uprising.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/10/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Revenant]] - [[Kell's Fall|Kell's Fall: Diffraction]]''</ref>
