(Cleaned up Eris's time in Hellmouth. Opulent Scholar Hood lore was being incorrectly used as a source for Eris's eyes being those of an Acolyte specifically. The lore on the Hood is fanfiction from Psions, who wouldn't have intimate knowledge of Eris, and we know Eris simply held an Ahamkara bone and wished for a way out, being granted the eyes she now has.)

Eris, Omar, and Toland were separated from Eriana and Sai soon after Vell's demise. As they moved through the tunnels, Eris told them that she would feel [[Eyes of Crota|something]] watching them. Toland explained that those were Crota's eyes, leading the Guardians to be sacrificed to wake Crota by draining their Light. Eris berated him for holding onto his secrets like weapons and asked if he meant to damn them all. Toland told his secrets were weapons and that they could use them to complete their mission, directing her and Omar to hunt the Eyes of Crota, kill them, and then follow their draining Light to where Crota waited.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Eyes_of_Crota|Eyes of Crota]]''</ref> This plan also failed, and Eris was separated from Toland and believed Omar to be dead after another encounter with the Hive. As she skulked in the shadows of the tunnels to avoid the Hive, she heard screams from below and followed them into the darkest chambers of the Hive, where she saw that Omar had been captured by a [[Wizard]] called the [[Heart of Crota]]. Eris watched in horror as the Wizard flayed the Light from her fellow Hunter and used it to feed newly spawned Thrall. After seeing this, Eris believed Omar to be dead when actually, his soul was transferred into a [[Hive]] bug that she would later use to create [[Xenophage]] for the [[Young Wolf]].<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted_Hive#Heart of Crota|Heart of Crota]]''</ref>

With the rest of the fireteam dead and her Ghost, [[Brya]] drained of Light and eventually perishing as well, Eris was left alone in the depths of the Hive's warrens. With little option, Eris held the bone of an [[Ahamkara]] she kept since the Great Hunt that began to whisper, guiding her way through the lunar tunnels. Against all odds, she managed to survive in the Hellmouth's shadowy warrens for years using their dark tactics against them, despite her previous concerns about wielding weapons of Darkness. She lost her eyes to the Hive but replaced them with those of an [[Acolyte]], the third eye included.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/opulent-scholar-hood Opulent Scholar Hood]''</ref> Eris learned much about the Hive, its hierarchy, and how to wield some of their magic.<ref name= "Crota's Bane">'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Tower_Allies#Crota.27s_Bane|Crota's Bane]]''</ref> She also had access to a copy of Toland's journal, which aided her greatly in her staying alive in the warrens and expanding her knowledge of the Hive.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lost to Light]]''</ref>
With the rest of the fireteam dead and her Ghost, [[Brya]], sacrificing itself to try and save her, Eris was left alone in the depths of the Hive's warrens. Against all odds, she managed to survive in the Hellmouth's shadowy tunnels for years, using Toland's journal as a guidebook to survival.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Lost to Light]]''</ref> Eris learned much about the Hive, its hierarchy, and how to wield some of their magic.<ref name= "Crota's Bane">'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Allies/Tower_Allies#Crota.27s_Bane|Crota's Bane]]''</ref> However, she would eventually run low on options. Eris held the bone of an [[Ahamkara]] that she had kept since the Great Hunt, and wished for a way to survive, her human eyes replaced with a trio of Hive eyes. With these, she would finally find her way out.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Forsaken]], Activision Blizzard - [[Armor_of_the_Great_Hunt_(Hunter)#Cloak_of_the_Great_Hunt|Cloak of the Great Hunt]]''</ref>

Eris eventually escaped the Hellmouth and returned to the Last City alive, but vastly changed by the experience. As she recovered from her experience she was cared for by her friend [[Asher Mir]].

Eventually Eris informed Ikora that the Hive were becoming more active, and that Omnigul had left the Hellmouth. She was concerned that the Hive was targeting the Warmind [[Rasputin]] in the [[Cosmodrome]], and that if such a being was twisted by the Hive all would be lost. Ikora asked her to remain at the Tower to aid in the battle against the Hive and promised to convince the other Vanguard leaders to listen to Eris, while also promising to find Guardians to aid her.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]], Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Hive#Ghost_Fragment:_Hive_3|Ghost Fragment: Hive 3]]''</ref>
