Reaching out to Immaru, the Hive Ghost counters with a bargain of his own: Savathûn anticipated that the Guardians would need her help in following the Witness and is willing to help but only if they deal with Xivu Arath. Thus, Immaru will only bring the Witch Queen back if they defeat the Hive God of War once and for all. Doing so would require Eris Morn to embrace the Sword Logic and become a Hive God herself, as only an equal can defeat the Hive God of War. Despite the terms, the Guardians agreed to the bargain, with Immaru cooperating in guiding them to [[Savathûn's Spire]] but he couldn't order the Lucent Brood to stand down as Savathûn's previous order in protecting the Spire supersedes his own authority. Following a ritual that turns Eris into a Hive, Immaru played his part in aiding the Guardians, though that doesn't stop him from mocking them, and provides recordings the Witch Queen had left behind for them, offering insight on her sister and her point of view regarding the Light. | Reaching out to Immaru, the Hive Ghost counters with a bargain of his own: Savathûn anticipated that the Guardians would need her help in following the Witness and is willing to help but only if they deal with Xivu Arath.

Ultimately, Savathûn would find herself revived earlier than expected, as after Eris and the Guardian slew the [[Leviathan-Eater]], Xivu Arath's most powerful and favored warrior, Eris ordered Immaru to bring the Witch Queen back. Despite stating that Xivu Arath is still a threat, Immaru did as he was ordered, bringing the Lightbearing Hive God back. After regaining her senses, Savathûn took note of Eris Morn's Hive appearance, stating that she had finally "come out of her shell" and that it "looked good" but Eris didn't waste words, as she slit the Witch Queen's throat, gaining a millennia's worth of power from her death as Savathûn had not been killed since she had been severed from her Worm. Combining that and the tithes the Guardian had collected made Eris the most powerful Hive God, surpassing Xivu Arath. However, instead of confronting the Hive God of War, Eris weaved a spell that banished Xivu Arath from her own Throne World, rendering her mortal and vulnerable. Nonetheless, Savathûn managed to escape but kept her end of the bargain, granting Ikora the secret the Vanguard needs to pass through the portal on the Traveler. Further, as part of a peace offering, the Witch Queen allows the Guardians to continue traversing her Throne World and gives them custody of Immaru. In this, should Savathûn do something that endangers humanity, then they can destroy Immaru and sever her connection to the Light. | Ultimately, Savathûn would find herself revived earlier than expected, as after Eris and the Guardian slew the [[Leviathan-Eater]], Xivu Arath's most powerful and favored warrior, Eris ordered Immaru to bring the Witch Queen back.

Nonetheless, Savathûn managed to escape but she kept her end of the bargain, granting Ikora the secret the Vanguard needs to pass through the portal on the Traveler, though as per her nature, she attempt to use trickery to renege on the deal but after being threatened by the Young Wolf, she acquiesced to the Vanguard's demands. Further, as part of a peace offering, the Witch Queen allows the Guardians to continue traversing her Throne World and gives them custody of Immaru. In this, should Savathûn do something that endangers humanity, then they can destroy Immaru and sever her connection to the Light. From then on, Savathûn continue to comment or even taunt the Guardians as they continue to partake in the Altars of Summoning to prevent the Witch Queen from acquiring tithes for her experiments. | ||
