The Guardians were successful in finding a lead towards Osiris's whereabouts, which led them to the Reef. There, along with Saint-14 and Crow, the Guardian would find Osiris speaking with Mara Sov. However, to their shock and horror, Osiris would transform into the Witch Queen Savathûn herself, revealing that the Hive Goddess had been impersonating Osiris ever since he lost his Light to the High Celebrant of Xivu Arath, to hide from her sister. Though Savathûn would be encased in a crystal prison by the Awoken Queen, she offered to return Osiris in exchange for excising her worm and remove the Taken Curse over the Dreaming City. Despite not trusting the notorious Hive God of Lies, the Guardians accepted her bargain at Mara Sov's insistence. | The Guardians were successful in finding a lead towards Osiris's whereabouts, which led them to the Reef.

Reporting back to Ikora, the Warlock Vanguard would be left completely distraught that Savathûn had tricked her for so long, hiding in plain sight as her mentor. Nonetheless, she agreed with the Guardians' plan to go along with Mara Sov's bargain with the Witch Queen if it means to get Osiris back. | Reporting back to Ikora, the Warlock Vanguard would be left completely distraught that Savathûn had tricked her for so long, hiding in plain sight as her mentor.

To complete Mara's bargain with the Witch Queen, she needs her Techuen Coven that, who's members were lost in the Ascendant Realm after they rescued their queen after being cornered by Xivu Arath. The Guardians were tasked with traversing the Ascendant Realm to rescue the Awoken Queen's coven as well as reclaiming the Ley Lines throughout the Dreaming City from the Scorn and the Taken. During this endeavor, Ikora would converse with Mara Sov on the progress of reclaiming the Dreaming City and on the possibility of Calus's threat due to his obsession with the Darkness, agreeing that former Cabal Emperor is a problem. However, their discussions turn heated and personal when they broach upon the subject of Uldren Sov, now reborn as a Lightbearer named Crow. Though Mara expresses anger at her brother's fate, Ikora counters that it was Uldren's actions that led to the deaths of so many innocents, including Cayde-6 but the Awoken Queen was unmoved. | |||
Regardless of their differences, after months of hard efforts, the Guardians make headway in rescuing the Techuen Coven and reclaiming the Ley Lines, stabilizing the Ascendant Realm. Ultimately, after all members of the Coven were gathered, the Corsairs setting up defenses and having the Guardians present for further protection, Mara Sov began the ritual to excise Savathûn's worm but as expected, Xivu Arath sent her horde to stop it. Despite Xivu Arath's hive and Taken, Mara was able to complete the ritual, excising the worm. Unfortunately, the Witch Queen would escape after her crystal prison was broken, as the hive god anticipated Mara Sov would attempt to kill her. Nonetheless, Savathûn kept her end of the bargain by returning Osiris, albeit comatose. | |||
After learning of this, Ikora was glad to have her mentor returned, she was nonetheless angered that the Witch Queen escaped. Nonetheless, Ikora expected that Savathûn would likely return soon and the Vanguard must be ready when the Witch Queen will play her hand. | |||
