Despite the Lucent Hive and their Scorn prisoners hampering their efforts, the Guardians managed to clear the Spire, reconfiguring the Light coursing through it using crystals the Witch Queen had made, and locate a ritual site beneath it. During this, the Guardians were given recordings of the Witch Queen by Immaru, messages she left behind in the event the Guardians ever required her aid after killing her. In one message, Savathûn states that they cannot defeat Xivu Arath conventionally, for her sister feeds off all conflict and grows stronger from it. Therefore, to defeat Xivu Arath, they must use the logic that the Hive God of War believes to be absolute: their Sword Logic. Specifically, Eris Morn must become a Hive God, gathering power through the tithe system, until she is strong enough to challenge Xivu Arath, for only a Hive of equal strength can do so. Ikora immediately objects to this, believing they cannot utilize Hive magic in such a way, or play by the Sword Logic's rules, without unfavorable consequences. Eris Morn states that there is no other way to challenge Xivu Arath, as simply maintaining their current stalemate with her or outright confronting her are not feasible, for in either case they would eventually lose. Despite fearing what will happen to Eris, Ikora reluctantly agrees to allow Eris to proceed with her ritual. Using Hive magic, Eris's body transforms with new Hive biology, capable of feeding off of the battles the Guardians partake in, allowing her to grow in strength. With the ritual complete, Eris Morn had emerged as the new Hive God of Vengeance.

To begin in the quest to make Eris stronger, the Guardians located various ritual sites within Savathûn's Throne World, the [[Altars of Summoning]], and acting as her acolyte, they battled with prisoners and retainers of the Witch Queen during her earlier studies with the Light, which included Vex and forgotten Lucent Hive. Defeating them allowed Eris to gain strength from the tithe system, as planned. However, Ikora remained deeply disturbed by the circumstances, seeing Eris and the Guardian revel in the slaughtering, but admits she can't deny the results.
