Despite cutting off its | Despite cutting off its Light, the Traveler Cage does not necessarily ''restrain'' the Traveler itself, as it demonstrates the ability to break free with little apparent difficulty once roused.

By the time the re-empowered Guardian returned to liberate the City, step five had been completed. Though Ghaul was initially hesitant to seize the Light, he acquiesced in time to battle the Guardian atop the Immortal, Light against Light. The Immortal served as a conduit for the Light extracted by the Traveler Cage, infusing Ghaul with its power, though this also replenished the Guardian's own. Eventually, the Guardian slew Ghaul. However, Ghaul resurrected himself seconds later, transforming into a mountainous, ethereal figure of molten Light. Pleased by the vast degree of his new power, Ghaul turned towards the Traveler, asking if it would recognize him now. In response, the Traveler cracked open the Cage and unleashed a blinding burst of Light that annihilated Ghaul | By the time the re-empowered Guardian returned to liberate the City, step five had been completed.
