{{Quote|Do you feel it as I do, [[Guardian]]? A hatred as pure and potent as sunshine, soaking through your skin? Hashladûn knows what you are. What you've done. She watched as her lineage fell, one after another; [[Crota]], [[Oryx]], [[Omnigul]]. And she is eager to return that pain. |Eris Morn to the Guardian}}

After the five inundations, Hashladûn broke free from her impalement, starving, wounded, and much reduced in form. On witnessing her crawling back to his throne world, Crota stated: ''"You are great now, and you cannot love Me. For the parts of you that were Mine have been taken from you; the parts that were [[Oryx|His]] remain."'' With all ties to Crota severed by the floods, and therefore rendered closer to Oryx, Hashladûn had [[Ascendant Hive|ascended]] into her grandfather's [[Court of Oryx|court]] much to her father's joy and grief; knowing that she can never set foot in his court again. She was then sent forth to Oryx's side by her father, who cut a rift through space-time to an unknown destination.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Weblore]]: [[Weblore#Hope|Hope]]''</ref>

Of the greatest contenders was the Knight [[Zulmak, Instrument of Torment|Zulmak]], whose triumphs in the Pit threatened to upend Hashladûn's plans if anointed a new Hive champion by the majority of the Swarm. Hashladûn judged Zulmak a great warrior but lacking the cunning of Crota and Oryx and turned to leave the Pit alongside her sisters, which prompted much of the congregation to do the same.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#IV:_Blood_Sport|IV: Blood Sport]]''</ref> They were forced to return for a third fight, as Zulmak's performance had persuaded many that his strength as a warrior made him a worthy successor under the Sword Logic. This belief disgusted Hashladûn, who noted that Zulmak's opponents were not impressive, as most of the Hidden Swarm's greatest warriors had been slain by Guardians already.<ref name="FIB"/> However, Zulmak's reign was cut short by the [[Deathsinger]] [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Azavath]], whose body had merged with the essence of her Knight brother [[Akrazul, the Severed|Akrazul]] and went on a blind massacre with the royal congregation. Taking advantage of the ensuing chaos, Hashladûn and her sisters assassinated their perceived enemies, leaving the Akrazul-possessed Azavath to take the blame and none left to challenge them.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Inquisition_of_the_Damned#XI:_The_Anti-Logic|XI: The Anti-Logic]]''</ref>

Hashladûn is the final boss of [[The Scarlet Keep]] [[Strike]]. While she is encountered several times throught the activity, she is always invulnerable and will retreat soon after. When the [[Fireteam]] reaches the top of the Keep, Hashladûn will come out of a gate after her guard Wizards have been slain, and become vulnerable after reaching the center of the room. She will not move much from there, only entering the forward balcony if players are in the plaza or in a different section of it. Hashladûn attacks by firing highly damaging streams of Darkness Blasts and invoking Knockback Runes that do little damage but fling targets high in the air. Throughout the battle, Hashladûn will summon hordes of reinforcements as she takes damage, which will flood in from the many doors scattered in it. Particularly large waves will appear around every third of her health, when she wraps herself in an immunity shield, and she will remain invulnerable until all her subordinates are slain.

 

Unmoored from the foundational tenets of their grandfather's Sword Logic, Hashladun had faith in the belief that Oryx was not truly vanquished but could be remade from death like his sisters before as mentioned in the [[Books of Sorrow]].<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]]'', ''[[Weblore]]: [[Weblore#Poison|Poison]]''</ref> She reasons that challenging the dogmas of the Logic in fact adhered to the Logic itself, as by questioning Oryx's legacy the Hive purify those aspects of it which cannot withstand, so that only that which is perfect and unchallengeable would remain.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/11)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]]'', ''[[Weblore]]: [[Weblore#Endure|Endure]]''</ref> Her obsession with keeping her forefathers’ legacy alive was, however, considered foolhardy according to [[Kinox]], and in fact blinded her to the reality of the Swarm's spiraling failure.<ref name="Apostate">'''Bungie (2019/10/29)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]]'', ''Item Description: [[Apostate#Lore|Apostate]]''</ref>

*Hashladûn's death animation is similar to the death of [[Nokris, Supplicant to Savathûn]].
