At a sunken [[Pyramid]] lying deep in the swamps of [[Savathûn's Throne World]], [[Guardian]]s must venture inward and confront the ancient [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness|Disciple]] imprisoned within; all before he threatens to seal the [[Light]] from the throne world with [[the Upended]].

Guardians must get within close proximity of the payload to begin this section. The payload will advance towards the Pyramid, stopping at 6 different points. At each stop, waves of [[Scorn]] will begin spawning, including [[Knowledge Bearer]] [[Abomination]]s. Killing these Abominations will cause knowledge-granting [[Darkness]] shards to spawn in the area. Collect these (a maximum of 3 can be held) and bring them all back to the payload to allow it to advance again. While Knowledge Bearers live, anyone not within close proximity to the payload will receive stacks of [[Pervading Darkness]], progressively impeding their vision. Once these reach 10, the Guardian will die.

There are 3 different Darkness shard switches that can be shot during this segment to allow an optional [[chest]] to be opened. The first shard can be found nestled beneath the rocks and trees on the left hand side of the second stopping point for the payload. The second can be found at the end of the long path that is taken by the payload to reach the third stopping point. The final switch can be found beneath the bridge that the payload flies over, just after the fourth stopping point. This can be shot from the far side from the fourth stop.

The reward chest can be found to the right of the fifth stopping point, inside a building above the swamp level. The door will only open once all 3 switches have been shot.

Once the boss has been damaged enough, or all 3 plates have been exhausted, The Caretaker will gain immunity and teleport away. Stairs will lower on both sides of the floor, allowing the fireteam to advance to the next. Repeat this process on 3 different floors to advance to the final stand floor, where the 3 plates will be in a row towards The Caretaker. The same mechanic to damage exists here, no obelisk to worry about.

For skilled fireteams, it is possible to skip the third floor obelisk entirely. When damaging The Caretaker per floor, on the second plate, be careful not to push its health to the end of its current segment. The reason for this is that the third damage plate provides a longer opportunity to damage The Caretaker than the first and second. If the fireteam pushes as much of its damage on the third plate, it's possible to push damage into The Caretaker's next health segment. Save your high damage supers ([[Moebius Quiver]], [[Nova Bomb]], Cuirass [[Thundercrash]]) for the third plate, in this instance.

The final stage of Vow of the Disciple concerns the defeat of [[Rhulk, Disciple of the Witness]]. Initially, Guardians will notice a sarcophagus-like object floating at the top of stairs at the back of the area. Approaching this will "wake" Rhulk up, with dialogue playing and him projecting a force field out that will push Guardians back to the starting edge of the arena, where a rally flag can be placed. Be aware that adding any additional force (such as jumping) will accelerate the push from the force field, potentially sending the Guardian over the edge into the abyss below. This is important to remember for a later part of the fight. Allowing it to push you and not moving will mean the friction of your character landing will prevent you from going over the edge.

Once pushed back, stepping up the first set of short stairs and approaching the force field will prompt Rhulk to summon his glaive, applying stacks of Pervading Darkness to all fireteam members. Shooting the glaive above his head will break it, providing a Leeching Force buff to the Guardian dealing the killing blow. It is advised that the Guardian breaking the Glaive use a long range weapon, such as a scout or pulse rifle, to make their job easier. It can take a few hits before breaking. Now comes the tactics, where you will need to assign specific roles to the fireteam.

Now comes the tactics, where you will need to assign specific roles to the fireteam.


'''Swapper''': The role of Swapper is to ensure that at least one Guardian holds the Leeching Force buff at all times. If your fireteam loses this, Rhulk will re-summon his glaive and begin applying Pervading Darkness again. Repeating this 3 times will mean the glaive will become invincible, ensuring the fireteam will be wiped when Pervading Darkness stacks reach 10.

When this charge is complete, he will leave behind his glaive, floating. Shooting this until it breaks will once again grant Leeching Force to the Guardian delivering the killing blow, and leave behind a stack of symbols. Meanwhile, Rhulk will still be stalking after Guardians, aiming to kick them if he gets close enough. Guardians should stay away from him to prevent this, and to avoid delaying the next attack. This next attack will involve Rhulk charging up his beam of Darkness again, but this time it will emanate from him in an X\+ shape, indicated by four shapes forming around him during the charge-up animation. This will inflict heavy damage, quickly rack up stacks of Pervading Darkness, and will transform Leeching Force to Emanating Force once again. However, this attack is fairly easy to dodge if you're watching for it. The Guardian holding Leeching Force should aim to have this transformed into Emanating Force, with the rest of the fireteam advising them on which symbol was left behind by the glaive upon breaking it. The Emanating Guardian must then go to the pillar with the corresponding symbol and deposit their buff.

Once Emanating Force is correctly deposited in this section, Rhulk will become temporarily stunned, exposing a weak point on his shoulders, then his hips, with each successive deposit. You need four deposits in total to expose them all, Rhulk repeating his previous glaive charge then beam attack once you deposit. Break these weak points by shooting at them to advance him towards the damage phase of the battle. Taking too long in this phase(about 90 seconds to 2 minutes) will result in Rhulk charging his barrier again, throwing all players off the Upended back to the start of the fight, and wasting an entire damage rotation

After all 4 are broken, Rhulk will enter an Enraged stage and will proceed to attack again. This is his unique damage phase, wherein he is mobile but damageable. He will summon his glaive and begin stalking after Guardians at increased speed, combining his teleport and beam attack into one as he attempts to kill you. The previous weak points the fireteam broke will function as crit spots, and so will his head. Having a Guardian utilize the Exotic trace rifle Divinity is a highly recommended method to deal with Rhulk at this time, as the constant movement of the phase can make hitting accurate precision shots quite difficult. Also, the fireteam has three damage phases to defeat Rhulk. Failing to bring Rhulk to Final Stand in those three phases will result in Final Stand starting early, and requiring more damage to kill Rhulk in time.

When enough time has passed of Rhulk being enraged, he will slam his glaive into the ground and begin charging up. This is your cue to begin running back to the very start of the first phase arena. After a set amount of time, Rhulk will summon a force field that will push any Guardian back. This can be an easy death sentence, as if you hit any objects on the way back, you can be killed. You may also get sent off the arena, if you are caught mid-jump by the force field. If you are unable to get to safety before the field is summoned, try to stick to the middle of the arena. This will mean no obstacles to splat off, and you have a good chance of stopping via basic floor friction when the force field stops pushing you.

As with other Master difficulty content, the recommended power level is 20 above the Pinnacle Cap. The '''Chaff''' (radar disabled) and '''Shielded Foes''' modifiers are applied. All Glyphkeepers and Resonant Glyphkeepers are changed to their respective [[Champion]] version, while the [[Ravenous Taken Vandal]]s in the Caretaker encounter become [[Overload Taken Hobgoblin]]s. In addition to the usual [[Solar]] [[Absorption Shield]]s of Taken Knights, (applied to the Disciple's Compass), uniquely all [[Wraith]]s will sport Solar shields and non-Champion [[Taken Hobgoblin]]s will sport [[Void]] shields.
