As the Guardian ventured onto the vessel, they found it eerily deserted, large sections of it overgrown with the same dark flora that had overtaken the Glykon Volatus. Unnerved by this discovery, the Guardian ventured deeper into the Leviathan, but encountered a unique Nightmare that actually spoke in a voice that Zavala recognizes. However, the Guardian was blocked by a [[Unrelenting Nightmare|Loyalist Gladiator]] that they cannot seem to harm. Left with no choice but to hide and escape, the Guardian proceeded further through the vessel until reaching Calus's throne room, and encountered one of the Emperor's damaged robotic proxies. Investigating the robot seemed to activate it, producing the laughter of Calus himself before summoning swarms of Loyalist forces. On the verge of being overwhelmed, Eris attempted to teleport the Guardian to safety, only to discover that a power is blocking her attempts, forcing the Guardian to flee from the Leviathan on their own. Despite the Loyalists' efforts, the Guardian managed to reach their ship and return to the Vanguard to report their findings.

Eris met with Zavala and Caiatl, explaining that the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Lunar Pyramid]] was stirred by the Leviathan's call and it now manifested their deepest regrets, wearing familiar faces and speaking with familiar voices. Eris explained that she can bind the Nightmares, granting safe passage through the Leviathan, but Caiatl balked at the thought of using Hive Magic to do so. Despite his concerns, Zavala agreed after Eris stated that the rules have been bent around them and now they must bend to survive. Though Caiatl refuses to take part in the ritual, she stood firm in leading the charge, claiming her armor is protection enough. Despite her insistence in not taking part in a Hive ritual, Caiatl would find herself haunted by her former co-conspirator, Dominus Ghaul.

Though Caiatl refuses to take part in the ritual, she stood firm in leading the charge, claiming her armor is protection enough. Regardless, Eris Morn conducted her ritual using the Crown of Sorrow with Crow and Zavala, binding their personal Nightmares of Uldren Sov and [[Safiyah]], and creating the [[Nightmare Harvester]]. Despite her insistence in not taking part in a Hive ritual, Caiatl would find herself haunted by her former co-conspirator, Dominus Ghaul.


Over the next few weeks, Guardians would battle Loyalists Cabal, allied with Scorn and their own Nightmares, on the Derelict Leviathan, as they [[Nightmare Containment|collected]] the energy needed for the [[Sever|severance]] rituals. They would also uncover several rituals conducted by Nightmares and Loyalists alike, and dismantle them, fighting beside the Imperial Cabal's forces. As the Sever operations progressed, the Guardian would find themselves hunted by the Unrelenting Nightmare once more.
