Assaulting [[The Tunnels]], the Guardian fought through hordes of Cabal Red Legion until eventually reaching the [[Orobas Vectura]], the [[Cabal Carrier]] of Thumos. Fighting through lines of Blood Guard Security, the Guardian eventually fought their way into the [[Echion Control|bridge]] of the carrier where they faced Thumos along with two [[Blood Guard Close Protection|body]] [[Blood Guard Bulwark|guards]]. Despite the skill of the Guard and the Unbroken, the Guardian vanquished them all, obtaining the keycodes to Thumos' ship and using it to infiltrate The Almighty despite an attempt from the Red Legion at defending the [[Harvester]]. Blood Guard members faced The Guardian on both the sun-destroying vessel and [[The Immortal]], Ghaul's personal flagship, yet all perished, unable to prevent the Guardian in their advance and vanquishing of Ghaul in the reclaimation of the Last City.

{{Quote| Ghaul is lost. He stood before the Light and met a warrior's end. The Red Legion suffered a great blow today, and in time we shall mourn the Dominus. We do not lay in defeat like the wretched Eliksni. No, I will not return to Torobatl in defeat.|[[Val Ca'uor]]}}

During the [[Season of Dawn]], several Blood Guard in the form of Time Wardens would assist the Red Legion and [[Ozletc, the Sky Piercer|Psion]] [[Tazaroc, the Sun Eater|Flayer]] [[Niruul, the Hollow Voice|Triumvirate]] in subverting time to undo their defeat in the Red War. The Blood Guard and the respective Psion sisters, along with the Red Legion, would still fail in their attempts leaving even more Blood Guard slain.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Season of Dawn]]''</ref>

*There's a possibility that [[Phalanx]] units of the Blood Guard exist, since the [[Taken]] [[Grask, the Consumed]] and [[Val Eralus, the Obedient]] have armor similar to the Blood Guard. However, they have never been seen in-game.
