High Celebrant of Xivu Arath: Difference between revisions

When Xivu Arath's sister, [[Savathûn]], went into hiding for interfering with the [[Pyramids]] messages to the [[Guardians]], the War Goddess took this opportunity to consolidate her power within the [[Sol System]]. Seeking to establish a foothold over the power vacuum, the God of War sent her High Celebrant to oversee the creation of the Wrathborn using Cryptoliths bored across the planets, including the [[Moon]], the [[Tangled Shore]], and the [[Dreaming City]]. It would also hunt the excommunicated Witch Queen and wrestle the Hive free of her schemes.

Out for revenge, Osiris begins hunting for the head of the High Celebrant as he tracked him down to the Shrine of Oryx of the Hellmouth, where Cryptoliths have grown to convert and summon the Wrathborn Hive. The Young Wolf would get word of his mission and races into the Hellmouth to save the now Light-less Warlock, whom the High Celebrant had cornered. Trapping Osiris inside of the Shrine, the Celebrant would sent waves of its Wrathborn reinforcements to stall the Guardian as its made its way to finish the former. The Guardian eventually catches up with the Celebrant, forcing it to flee into the [[Ascendant realm]] where it would make its escape.<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/16)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]] - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[Trail of the Hunted]]''</ref>

Roughly eight weeks following its initial escape, the Crow was able to locate the Celebrant hiding within the [[Dreaming City]] thanks to the Guardian's numerous Wrathborn hunts. After upgrading the [[Cryptolith Lure]], The Guardian and Crow made their way to the Cryptolith within [[Harbinger's Seclude]] to summon the High Celebrant and end it once and for all.<ref name="CDG">'''Bungie (2020/11/16)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Hunt]] - [[Missions|Mission]]: [[Coup de Grâce]]''</ref>

As the Guardian was able to activate the Cryptolith, the Crow was able to tag it to make sure it wouldn’t escape from them again. The Celebrant would lead them through a wild goose chase throughout the Harbinger's Seclude and the Ascendant Plane while summoning both Fallen and Hive Wrathborn to delay both Guardians. However it would succeed in escaping back into the Ascendant Realm and closing the portal behind it, leaving Crow inside to deal with him.<ref name="CDG"/>

While the Guardians were seemingly stuck in a hard place, the Guardian used what remained of the Cryptolith to forcefully open up one of the preexisting rifts within the Dreaming City to track down the Celebrant. After having bested the Crow as it broke both his legs before throwing him into the abyss, the Celebrant summons waves of Wrathborn Fallen and Hive to deal with the Guardian. During the battle, it contains the Guardian within a [[Hive Trap]] and opens up another rift to make its escape, only for the Crow to intervene by destroying the portal from the other side. While the Knight was staggered from the destruction of its only exit, the Guardian finishes the Celebrant off and ends its reign of terror once and for all.<ref name="CDG"/>
