After handling more of Ikora's unease with the plan and conquering another trial of the Witch Queen's Imbaru Engine, the Guardian answers Eris Morn's summons, taking her Hive form once more. Proclaiming that this will be their final tithe, Eris Morn states that she has Ikora prepare something from the Vanguard vaults for transmat when the time is right, for when she will remind Savathûn and Xivu Arath were once "born as prey". Returning to the oubliette, Immaru voices his fears that Xivu Arath began to summon the Leviathan-Eater, proclaiming his intent to flee but Eris Morn forces the Hive Ghost to stay as the Guardian opens the way to the Altar of the Sword, where they challenge Xivu Arath's champion. Despite the Leviathan-Eater's power and streams of Hive support, the Guardian manages to hold their own against him, forcing Xivu Arath to prepare a bombardment of the area. Using her Hive Magic, Eris was able to create a barrier strong enough to withstand the bombardment, forcing the Leviathan-Eater to charge, breaching the barrier. In one last clash, the Guardian manages to slay the Leviathan-Eater, empowering Eris and preparing her for the last part of her plan. At the Altar's center, Eris has Ikora transmat the item she requested, Savathûn's body for Immaru to resurrect. Immaru protests, citing that Xivu Arath is still a threat but Eris Morn orders him to proceed as he will not get another chance. Agreeing, Immaru raises Savathûn back from death with the Witch Queen commenting on Eris's Hive form, claiming that she had "come out of her shell" but the Hive God of Vengeance merely replied that she would be the Witch Queen's ruin, slicing her throat, surprising all present. In that act, Eris gained power from Savathûn's death, gaining all the power she had accumulated since the last time she had died before being separated from her worm, which was over a millennia ago. Combining that with the tithes the Guardians had gathered, Eris had now become the most powerful Hive God, surpassing even Xivu Arath. Using her power, Eris Morn cast a spell that banished the Hive God of War from her own Throne World, rendering her mortal and unable to draw strength from tithes before fainting. | After handling more of Ikora's unease with the plan and conquering another trial of the Witch Queen's Imbaru Engine, the Guardian answers Eris Morn's summons, taking her Hive form once more.

Not long after completing her plan, Eris Morn, back in human form, informs the Guardians following the ritual. Savathûn had kept her end of the bargain by informing Ikora of the secret the Vanguard needs to pass through the portal upon the Traveler. Further, as part of a peace offering, the Witch Queen was allowed to return to her Throne World but the Vanguard would not only be allowed to have the Guardians continue to venture into her domain but also take custody of Immaru, thereby allowing the Guardians to destroy her connection to the Light should they believe Savathûn is endangering humanity. Ikora and Eris agreed to the terms, citing that while keeping both Hive Gods alive would be a risk, the Warlock Vanguard believed that the Witness must be their priority. In addition, Ikora believes that at least with Savathûn, they have her connection to the Light in their hands and with Xivu Arath, she is now rendered vulnerable after being banished from her Throne World, thereby making her more open to being confronted | Not long after completing her plan, Eris Morn, back in human form, informs the Guardians following the ritual.

Further, the Guardians continue to partake in the Altars of Summoning with Ikora's permission, as doing so prevents Savathûn from acquiring tithes which would further her experiments, though the Witch Queen would continue to comment and taunt them on their efforts. | ||
