Seeking revenge for the Great Disaster and the death of Wei Ning, [[Eriana-3]] led five other Guardians in an attempt to assassinate Crota within his throne world, but the hordes of Hive dwelling within the Hellmouth managed to overwhelm the fireteam, picking them off one by one.

{{Quote|Crota. Son of Oryx. He considered himself a god, and acted as such. His strength proved too much for my fireteam and I. He and his brood took their lives and left me nearly dead. Crota threatened all we had left. The Pyramid serves to do the same. It is no surprise that Crota haunts us once again.|Eris Morn, speaking of Crota and his Nightmare.}} | {{Quote|Crota. Son of Oryx.

Crota's demise ultimately caught the attention of his father, [[Oryx]], the then God-King of the Hive and master of the [[Taken]]. Enraged by the death of his son, Oryx would bring his [[Dreadnaught]] into the Solar system and lead an army of [[Hive]] and [[Taken]] in revenge against the Guardians.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[The Coming War]]''</ref> Ironically, Crota's lingering Ascendant power was necessary for the Guardians to access the rupture gateway into Oryx's sanctum. Returning to the Chamber of Night that tended to the crystal that housed Crota's soul, the Guardians were able to gain a shard of the crystal but it did not hold of a piece of his soul. The Guardians now had to disrupt Crota's death ceremony to gain a sliver of his soul. Entering Crota's fortress, the Guardians narrowly slipped past the Hive defending his tomb and were able to fill the shard with Crota's death essence.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Last Rites]]''</ref> With the Ascendant Shard, the Guardians were successfully able to enter Oryx's throne and defeat him.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Regicide]]''</ref> Like his son, Oryx would later fall to the Guardians who killed Crota when he was slain by them in his own throne world within the Ascendant plane.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King's Fall]]''</ref> | Crota's demise ultimately caught the attention of his father, [[Oryx]], the then God-King of the Hive and master of the [[Taken]].
