[[Ir Anûk, Deathsinger|Ir Anûk]] and [[Ir Halak, Deathsinger|Ir Halak]] are first encountered in Last Rites but immediately disappear when the [[Guardian]]'s cloaking field trips. They both later appear in the Raid [[King's Fall]]. Their Deathsongs, the Dirge of Unraveling and the Hymn of Weaving, respectively, last for approximately a minute each. In order to prevent the one Deathsinger from killing the party one player, who has been torn between dimensions, must get a spark and get close to the other sister and steal her aura, leaving her defenceless. The aura will protect the players while they damage the non-singing sister until the other finishes her Deathsong. The aura will then return to its original sister and the process begins again. When one sister is killed, there will be no protective aura to defend the players, and so they must kill the other quickly.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[King's Fall]]''</ref>

Several Deathsingers are encountered as part of the [[Symphony of Death]] [[Quest]]. These Deathsingers differ from normal Wizards for their possession of [[Void]] [[Absorption Shield]]s, as well as their ability to actively channel the Deathsong. While they are chanting, the player's screen will be obstructed by green mist, and a one minute timer will tick down. If it reaches zero, the player will succumb to the Deathsong. Breaking the Deatsinger's shield stops her chant, which she will only restart when her shield recharges. They are also active fighters with all the behaviours of normal Wizards, flying evasively and using their spells to disorient and attack the player.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], Playstation 4, [[Quest]]: [[Symphony of Death]]''</ref>
