After this failure, Caital shamefully met with Eris and asked if her ritual would have prevented her failure. At first, Eris mocked Caital, asking her if now she sought the aid of a Hive-tainted witch. Caital was angered and demanded to know if Eris saw enjoyment in watching her fail, to which Eris simply stated that she offered the Empress her support and that the offer still stands. Eris went on to explain that Caital's failure isn't what defined her and that she was only doing this for herself, not for the cabal. Caital tried to state that she was the Cabal. But Eris told her that she wasn't and that she was a woman with a burden, just as Eris was. Caital then explained the intense situation she was in, such as her failure to protect Torobatl, and that within her ranks are traitors and spies. In her eyes, there could be no quarter for failure. Eris recognized that the Empress was speaking Dominus Ghaul's words and understood that Caital's Nightmare was that her incompetence would jeopardize the future of her people. Eris comforted the Empress and told her to look past her shame and say that she was more. After being convinced, Caital agreed with Eris and asked her to prepare the binding ritual, to which Eris responded that it was already awaiting her.

Thanks to Eris's binding ritual, Caital was bound to the Crown of Sorrow just as Zavala and Crow were. She was now ready to confront the Nightmare of Ghaul and sever Calus's connection to the Lunar Pyramid. Caital arrived on the Leviathan in a Drop Pod shortly after the Guardian arrived. Almost immediately after arriving, The Nightmare of Ghaul taunted her once more about her weakness, her new empire, and her attempt to challenge him again. The Guardian eventually met up with Caital directly speaking to the Nightmare of Ghaul with a Scorn [[Chieftain]] impaled on her blade. The Dominus's Nightmare demanded Caital to kill the gaurdian and send their head back to the city. The Empress however told the Nightmare to be silent and that it was a weak interpretation of the Ghaul she knew. Angered that Caital stood beside the gaurdian against him, The Nightmare of Ghaul continued to scold Empress, telling her that she had grown fat from weakness and drunk on the vanguard's patronage. It kept trying to tell Caital that the Gaurdian's were just using her and her empire as cattle. And the the cabal will die alone side humanity. Caital however, Disregarded the Nightmare, and ignored its lies. She states that with the aid of both the Gaurdian's and the light, The cabal have become stronger then ever before. As Caital and the Guardian and caital arrived at the severance site. Caital began the ritual as the Dominus's Nightmare continued to grow furious at her. The gaurdian was once again forced to battle a second Nightmare of Ghaul, and as the fight continued, Caital cheered the gaurdian on. Telling them to crush the Nightmare with their light, as [[The Traveler]] did to Ghaul. After the gaurdian defeated the second Nightmare, Ghaul's Nightmare still continued to scold Caital even in defeat, calling her nothing more then a child play Empress. Caital stood back up and looked upon the Nightmare of Ghaul, telling it that the old ways are dead. And that Caital forged a new cabal in her own image, and her empire did not need his approval. The Empress then drew her blade and trusted it forward, Stabbing the Nightmare. After doing so, the Nightmare of Ghaul was purified with light and turned into a [[Memory of Ghaul]]. Upon becoming a memory of light, Ghaul saw Caital's new cabal empire and confirmed to her that she has finally surpassed him Because of how she wields the light on her war council. Caital was glad to hear the Memory of Ghaul accepted this, but told it that she did not achieve this through conquest, but rather through compromise. Which was an act that Ghaul's old traditions would never allow. The Memory acknowledged this and faded away. Thus, the final severance ritual was complete.
