Ikora would suffer a personal loss after Cayde-6, her friend and fireteam comrade, was murdered by the formerly missing Awoken Prince, [[Uldren Sov]] and the [[Scorn]], an army of morbid and grotesque [[Fallen]] under his command and that of seven Barons. Cayde and the Guardian arrived in the Reef to aid the Awoken in containing the chaos that engulfed the [[Prison of Elders]] but as the Scorn escaped their cells, Cayde found himself surrounded and beaten. Worse, his Ghost would be destroyed and his personal weapon, the [[Ace of Spades]], stolen by Uldren. Within his final moments, the Hunter Vanguard is killed by Uldren who then departs to spread chaos throughout the [[Reef]].

The Guardian returned Cayde's body home and the Vanguard mourned his loss. Ikora was most enraged that Cayde was gone and desiring retribution against Uldren for his crimes, Ikora proposes that the Guardians take the Reef by storm to kill Uldren and his Scorn minions once and for all. However, Zavala objects as while he too mourns the loss of his friend and desired justice, the Titan Vanguard stated that the Last City must remain the Guardians priority and they simply do not have the resources or the time to go on a manhunt, not while thousands of other escaped inmates from the Reef Prison flee across the system. Ikora vehemently opposed this, even calling it an act of cowardice but before she could argue any further, the Guardian, for the first time in four years, speaks, vowing to hunt down Uldren Sov and end him for his crimes.
The Young Wolf returned Cayde's body home and the Vanguard mourned his loss, with Ikora reflecting on her friend's terrible jokes and timing that would still make her want to laugh. Wishing that they had been there to fight alongside Cayde, Ikora reassured the Guardian that it was not their fault and all the blame lay upon Uldren. Ikora vows that they will fight him and that the entirety of the Vanguard would take the Reef by storm to kill Uldren and his Scorn minions once and for all. However, Zavala objects as while he too mourns the loss of his friend and desired justice, the Titan Vanguard stated that the Last City must remain the Guardians priority and they simply do not have the resources or the time to go on a manhunt, not while thousands of other escaped inmates from the Reef Prison flee across the system.

Though Ikora was forced to put her desire for Uldren's head aside, understanding that the Vanguard must remain united, but the Warlock Vanguard simply refused to let Uldren simply have the Reef and operate unopposed. Thus, before the Guardian left to conduct the Hunt for The Scorn, Ikora gave them a lead to where the Scorn could be found: the [[Tangled Shore]]. Further, she guided the Guardian in their missions regarding hearing voices from the Traveler. With her aid, the Guardians travel to Io once more and after touching with trees of Light, they acquire brand new abilities and powers.
Before the Young Wolf left to conduct the Hunt for The Scorn, Ikora gave them a lead to where the Scorn could be found: the [[Tangled Shore]], a desolate wasteland on the edge of the Reef. Ikora criticized Zavala for his refusal to fight and clinging to the broken remnants of the future he had been imagining. She revealed to them that she had been having visions since the Travel woke and encouraged them to investigate further if they saw anything new. Although she wished to provide further aid to them, Ikora knew she needed to stay within the Last City to provide at least the facade of a unified Vanguard and that the Young Wolf would have to walk their road to vengeance alone.<ref name="LC"/>


Ultimately, the Guardian would succeed in hunting down Uldren, avenging Cayde, and dismantle the Scorn's operations within the Reef. After returning to the Last City, Ikora expressed her gratitude in the Guardian's efforts to avenge the Hunter Vanguard. Afterwards, she ruminates that regarding all of her relationships, Cayde may have been her healthiest relationship, her ridiculous friend. Thus, she remembers that they are not only fighting for their home but also fighting for their friends.
