Oryx was nearly beaten when the Guardian breached his sanctum and attacked him, but this was only a temporary setback. Using his Taken powers he warped himself into the Ascendant Plane. Meanwhile, his Taken, lead by his [[Echo of Oryx|Echoes]], continued to harass the system. Once the blights had been removed, the Guardians turned their attention on Oryx and his Hive and Taken champions. By overthrowing the [[Court of Oryx]] and killing his minions, they were able to invade deeper into the Dreadnaught. After killing his closest allies like the [[Warpriest]] and [[Golgoroth]], including his own daughters, Oryx returns to fight the Guardians once more, this time having transformed himself into his true ascendant form, a gigantic monster with the power to crush the guardians with his fists. Here he attempted to pull the Guardians into the Darkness and Take them, but they were able to use Oryx's own captured Light against him. By slaying his light-eater Ogres and then detonating the Light they left behind, the [[blight]] in Oryx's chest erupted in a violent burst that brought about the king's permanent defeat. | Oryx was nearly beaten when the Guardian breached his sanctum and attacked him, but this was only a temporary setback.

In contrast, Xivu Arath remained steadfast on the path Oryx and their family once walked together on, remaining furious at his death but more so on the fact that the Guardians did not take his place, calling it blasphemy. The Hive God of War would actually consult with her fallen brother during her time in continuing the goal of reaching the Final Shape, regaling her exploits in conquering Torobatl and her fury in Savathûn's conversion to the Light. In the end, Xivu Arath vowed to honor Oryx as the Navigator that he was to her by ensuring the Final Shape happens. | In contrast, Xivu Arath remained steadfast on the path Oryx and their family once walked together on, remaining furious at his death but more so on the fact that the Guardians did not take his place, calling it blasphemy.

When Titan returned to the solar system after being absorbed by the Witness's powers, Oryx's body was found on the seabed. After stopping an attempt by the Lucent Brood to revive the Taken King, a team of the Hidden descended into the abyss to recover body samples for analysis. Following this were found concentrations of Taken energy in the cellular structure and a Darkness still active but without direction and willpower, still capable of inducing hallucinations to those that came near it. This allowed the body to absorb knowledge and memories but not to react. Furthermore, the biological mass of the corpse demonstrated a slow but active mitosis, which led the body to grow and change even without a mind. Despite the Hidden's advice to dispose of the body, Ikora decided to extract the corpse and hide it in a secure Vanguard site as she did with Savathun. <ref>'''Bungie (2023/5/26)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Deep]], Item Description: [[Striders of the Taken King]]''</ref> | |||
