As Xol set about destroying Rasputin's neural network, he was pursued by the Guardian to the vicinity of Rasputin's central core, where he trapped the Guardian on a platform and engaged them in battle, using his jaws, bulk and paracausal abilities to attempt to destroy his foe. Ultimately, Xol was defeated by the Guardian using a super-charged [[Valkyrie]] javelin provided by Rasputin, leaving the Grasp of Nokris leaderless and reducing the remainder of the Worm God pantheon from four to three.

As with other Worm Gods, however, Xol's death was not his ending. Drawing power from the [[Sword Logic]] upon his defeat at the hands of the Guardian, Xol transcended physical death and communed with the [[Taken]] infesting the Jovian moon [[Io]], resurrecting three former [[Urzok, Aspect of Hate|enemies]] [[Ta'aurc, Aspect of War|of]] [[Drevis, Aspect of Darkness|humanity]] as his Taken champions.<ref name=WotW>'''Bungie (2018/5/8)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]'': ''[[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]], Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [[Whisper of the Worm#Lore|Whisper of the Worm]].''</ref> He then lures the Guardian with a Taken anomaly found deep beneath the surface of Io, sending out all three of his champions to test them.
