After the Guardian activates further obelisks on Mars, Earth, and Nessus, Osiris receives a distress signal from Saint's Ghost inside the Vex network, and sends the Guardian to Nessus to enter the network and find it. Upon recovering the dead Ghost and recharging the Sundial, the Guardian again uses it to travel through the Corridors of Time, managing to arrive at the proper moment. Saint's Light has already been drained by Agioktis, Martyr Mind, who was originally responsible for the Titan's death. The Martyr Mind traps Saint in a Vex loop as it fights the Guardian; after a pitched battle, the Guardian manages to weaken it before it traps the Guardian, which releases Saint from his own trap to deliver the final blow. His survival now assured with the death of Agioktis, Saint asks the Guardian to open a gate for him in their own time, while he spends the years in between smashing through the Vex in the Infinite Forest. Returning to their present, the Guardian opens the gateway from the Forest, allowing Saint to return to reality, without alerting the past. Grateful that the Guardian was able to do what he could not, Osiris remarks that the world that Saint knew has changed dramatically, and asks the Guardian to guide him. Saint eventually returns to the Tower, where he and the Guardian build the Tower Obelisk (connecting to the obelisk network) to guide "those who are lost" to the city, and to memorialize the lost colonists of the Golden Age.

Darkness is preparing for its return, with a threat of a second
Collapse soon to be imminent. As the Guardian continues to work with Eris and the Vanguard to combat the lingering Nightmare threat on the Moon and across the solar system caused by the Pyramid, Eris contacts the Guardian once again and reveals that the artifact began emitting a signal that leads to the Black Garden. Despite Eris's fears that the Darkness is leading them into a trap, a fireteam of Guardians assembled by Eris invades the Black Garden through a newly discovered Vex portal beneath the lunar surface near the Scarlet Keep to follow the signal to its source ("Garden of Salvation" raid). The Guardians make their way through, tracing the artifact's signal while evading the Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent, which they eventually destroy. They eventually discover another Pyramid-like vessel in the Black Garden's central mesa, guarded by the Sanctified Mind, Sol Inherent. They destroy the Sanctified Mind and enter the vessel, leading them to another altar similar to the one in the Pyramid, where the artifact's signal ends. The Guardian then returns to Eris, who states that the discovery of a second Pyramid-like remnant of the Darkness in the Black Garden enabled the artifact to receive messages directly from the Darkness itself. Eris dismisses these messages as attempts at manipulation, and warns the Guardian to not be swayed by whatever the artifact communicates to them.
787:
Eris reveals that said phantoms are those of her former fireteam who previously took on Crota prior to the events of the first game. The
Guardian then meets with Ikora, who had traveled to the Moon to see the alien vessel with her own eyes. She beckons the Guardian to assist Eris in fighting the Nightmares any way they can. The Guardian then defeats and extracts the essences of the Nightmares of Skolas, Kell of Kells; Taniks, the Scarred; and Phogoth, the Untamed in order to complete the full Dreambane armor set. After completing the full armor set and equipping it, the Guardian descends beneath the Scarlet Keep once more to the Pyramid, and finally manages to bypass the vessel's barrier. Ghost all of a sudden becomes possessed by the Darkness originating from the Pyramid as the Guardian is being drawn into the vessel. The Guardian makes their way through the Pyramid, defeating the Nightmares of Ghaul, the Fanatic, and Crota along the way; the Darkness also taunts the Guardian through Ghost, commenting on the Light's failures and weaknesses. The Guardian then arrives at an altar where an unknown artifact is presented to them; upon touching it, the Guardian is subjected to a vision from within the Black Garden on Mars, with a fleet of Pyramid vessels floating in the sky behind them. The Guardian then encounters the Darkness itself, taking on the form of the Guardian, claiming to be neither friend nor foe, but instead their "salvation".

the
Guardian to Mercury to find him. Arriving on Mercury, the Guardian finds Osiris at the summit of a massive time machine known as the Sundial, built by Osiris in a failed effort to rescue his closest ally, the legendary Titan, Saint-14, who was killed by the Vex while searching for Osiris in the Infinite Forest. Osiris explains that he witnessed a simulation of a dark future within the Forest as a result of the Undying Mind's defeat by the Guardian; upon returning to reality, he found that a trio of Red Legion Psion Flayers—Niruul, the Hollow Voice; Ozletc, the Sky Piercer; and Tazaroc, the Sun Eater—had taken control of the Sundial and were using it to change history, so that the Legion would emerge victorious in the Red War. Their brute-force attempts to use the Sundial resulted in time becoming fractured on Mercury, and Osiris enlists the Guardian's help to prevent the time fractures from spreading. Osiris dispatches the Guardian to the Tangled Shore to find an obelisk linked to the Sundial, reclaim the parts to repair it from the Cabal there, and then charge it with Light to activate it. Once done, Osiris sends the Guardian to use the Sundial and shut down the timelines created by the Cabal in order to properly calibrate it. Upon defeating the first Flayer, Niruul, the Guardian recovers a strangely-phased object which they deliver to Osiris. In return, Osiris gives the Guardian his Lantern to help them in the battles to come.
894:). Rasputin later summons the Guardian to the lunar Seraph Bunker, where he uses several holograms to tell a story of a "tyrant and his son", with the "tyrant" heavily implied to be Rasputin himself, and the "son" being the Iron Lord Felwinter. It is revealed that Felwinter, an Exo himself, was originally sent by Rasputin with a portion of the Warmind's programming to live among humanity so that the Warmind could learn their ways; following the Collapse, however, Felwinter was killed and resurrected as a Guardian, which Rasputin saw as betrayal, and was hunted down subsequently. Eventually, Rasputin lured Felwinter to his death by promising him SIVA, which he could have used to rebuild the world, which the Warmind eventually came to regret doing. The Guardian travels deeper into the bunker, where they find an old casing of a safety AI, marked with Rasputin's insignia, as well as a sarcophagus containing Felwinter's signature weapon, the Felwinter's Lie shotgun. After acquiring the shotgun, Ana contacts the Guardian, and both of them learn that Rasputin was originally a safety AI for an emergency response system for pre-Golden Age space stations, which was turned into a sentient interplanetary defense system by Clovis Bray. Rasputin's true nature was also revealed to both Ana and the Guardian, revealing that, through Felwinter, Rasputin developed human-like emotion and had shown deep remorse for his actions.

and asks for the
Guardian's help in finding a way inside the vessel in hopes of finding something that would help prevent a second Collapse. As the Guardian investigates on how to enter the Pyramid, Eris reveals that the Hive living on the Moon have lived next to the Pyramid for eons due to its connection with the Darkness and they had recently constructed the Scarlet Keep above it as a result to harness its power. The Guardian and Ghost discover that the Hive had exploited the Darkness originating from the vessel in order to control the Nightmares, phantasms created by the Darkness from the Pyramid that are manifested by the traumas of the Guardians' past and appear as enemies previously slain by Guardians; these Nightmares have begun appearing across the Moon and throughout the solar system. The Guardian then gives Eris a Nightmare essence from when they first fought the Nightmare of Crota, with which Eris forges a piece of Dreambane armor that would help protect the Guardian from the dark energies of the Pyramid and be able to bypass its barrier and enter the vessel. Eris then instructs the Guardian to defeat the Nightmare of Omnigul, Will of Crota, in order to collect more Nightmare essence, to which the Guardian does.

The Hero version of the activity released on October 8, while the Legend and Master versions were released on October 15 and 22, respectively. Matchmaking is only available in both the Adept and Hero difficulties. Nightmare Hunts award "Nightmare Essences", materials which are required to craft new weapons and gear through another NPC called the Lectern of Enchantment. A new version of the PvE Nightfall strike activity called "Nightfall: The Ordeal" was released; The Ordeal features a weekly rotating Nightfall strike with the Adept, Hero, Legend, and Master difficulty modes as well (also with preset modifiers), and can award exotic weapons and gear as well as upgrade materials. Unlike the regular Nightfall activity, matchmaking is included in The Ordeal but only on the Adept and Hero difficulties. Legacy Nightfall strikes also remain available for all players. A fifth difficulty exclusively for The Ordeal, Grandmaster, was added on April 21, 2020.
751:(Season 11) featured a story-based weekly mission for players to fight the Taken in a new area on Io called the Cradle; there were three different missions that rotated weekly, but each week provided new information on the Darkness until the last few weeks of the season, when a new mission became available. A new three-player dungeon, "Prophecy", was also introduced, and takes place in the realm of the Nine. A new Darkness-infused engram was also introduced, called Umbral Engrams, which were decoded at a new terminal in the Annex of the Tower near the Drifter called the Prismatic Recaster; these new engrams could be focused to drop specific weapons and gear. A new public event, "Contact", was also added and rotated between the destinations Io and Titan; any player in the area could initiate the event by interacting with a smaller Pyramid patrol ship, after which, players had to fight through waves of enemies while collecting motes and depositing them into a bank before facing a final boss, similar to Gambit. The seasonal artifact was the Seed of Silver Wings (featuring mods focusing on mid-range weapons and Solar and Void abilities).

Nightmares' essences for purposes unknown. The Guardian heads to the Scarlet Keep and disrupts the ongoing rituals by killing several Nightmares before they can be sacrificed. Eris then instructs the Guardian to head to the Pit, located in the depths of the Scarlet Keep, to investigate further ("Pit of Heresy" dungeon). A fireteam of Guardians enter the Pit, where they fight their way through and find Zulmak, Instrument of Torment, a powerful Hive warrior who was resurrected by the Daughters of Crota and empowered by the Darkness harvested from the Nightmares. The Guardians defeat Zulmak and return to Eris afterwards, who states that the Daughters have become more dangerous than ever as they had violated the Sword Logic (the religious dogma of the Hive where only the strong survive through slaughter, death, and sacrifice) by resurrecting Zulmak. Eris fears that the Daughters will attempt to resurrect Zulmak again, and she advises the Guardian to remain vigilant.
738:(Season 10) introduced Seraph Bunkers, which were new areas on Earth's European Dead Zone, Io, and Earth's Moon, which were underground bunkers controlled by the Warmind Rasputin. Players had to clear out these bunkers before they could interact with Rasputin, from which they could spend in-game currency to buy upgrades to these bunkers and other facets related to the season, including special Warmind mods that interacted with the weapons from this season. Players could also enter Legendary Lost Sectors after clearing the bunkers, which were more difficult versions of specific Lost Sectors with greater rewards. A new public activity, "Seraph Towers", was also available on the three featured destinations, which required players to continually defend and power up three towers from numerous forces within a limited time; this activity could be started by any player in the area. The season also saw the return of Trials of Osiris, a 3v3 competitive PvP mode from the original

Hashladûn, Daughter of Crota, the architect of the Scarlet Keep who is seeking revenge against the Guardian for the death of her father. The Guardian chases after Hashladûn into the keep and confronts her at the top of its tower. The Guardian defeats Hashladûn and retrieves a Hive tablet that reveals the location of a powerful Hive artifact known as the Cryptoglyph, which the Daughters of Crota have been using to protect themselves from the Pyramid's dark energies and to control the Nightmares; its powers could be used to harness Nightmare essence and craft more Dreambane armor. Eris then sends the Guardian to the bottom of the Hellmouth in order to retrieve the Cryptoglyph. The Guardian finds the Cryptoglyph near the bottom of the Pyramid, and escapes with the artifact after defeating Besurith, Daughter of Crota, and her Hive forces who were guarding it.
557:. The "Armor 2.0" system rebuilds many of the functional aspects of the former armor system, allowing players more customization and control over their characters and their armor. Armor 2.0 allows players to use an "energy system" within each armor piece in order to equip armor mods; each mod acquired can be reused indefinitely, which allows for more experimentation and customization. Mods come either as a general mod or an elemental mod. Elemental mods must have the same energy type (Arc, Solar, or Void) that matches the armor piece's energy type in order for them to be equipped. General mods, however, can be equipped as normal. Each mod has an energy cost to them depending on its type, function and how powerful they are; players can upgrade armor pieces to increase their energy capacity to allow for the use of more powerful mods, and armor pieces get a small stat boost when they are fully upgraded.

Once players reach the second soft level of 950, they can further increase their Power level to 960 by participating in pinnacle endgame activities (such as raids, Nightfall: The Ordeal strikes, Master
Nightmare Hunts, Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris), which reward pinnacle gear up to Power level 960. Players can then further increase their Power level beyond 960 by upgrading their seasonal artifact through earning XP via gameplay and completing vendor bounties; seasonal artifacts also serve as an alternate Power progression source for players who choose not to participate in pinnacle endgame activities, and are shared across all of a player's characters.
726:(Season 9) added a new six-player match-made PvE activity, the Sundial, in which players would fight Cabal forces on Mercury trying to change the past. Further, special obelisks were added to the Tangled Shore, Earth's European Dead Zone, Mars, and Nessus, and eventually a central one in the Tower, serving part of this narrative; players could spend special game currency earned from other activities to enhance each obelisk's level and gain rewards such as gear and mods. A new single player activity called the "Corridors of Time" also included a large puzzle that required the community to work together to solve, resulting in the ability for players to acquire Bastion, one of the season's exotics.

Eris then beckons the Guardian to take one of its Seeds from the Tree as Savathûn's influence prevents her from doing so. With the Seed, the Guardian is able to free Eris and bring her to the Tower.

If left standing, however, the Undying Mind could use its secondary directive to attack humanity and destroy the Traveler. Ikora advises the Guardian to continue assisting in fending off and preventing further Vex incursions on the Moon and slowing down their mobilizations in the Black Garden while she devises a plan to find the Undying Mind and end the invasion once and for all.

Seasonal artifacts also grant seasonal mods that players can equip on their armor and weapons; some of these mods are required in order to defeat powerful versions of enemies called "Champions" featured in each season's exclusive seasonal activity; in the Hero, Legend, Master, and Grandmaster versions of Nightfall: The Ordeal and Nightmare Hunts; as well as the Garden of Salvation raid. These artifacts, and their seasonal limitations and mods, allow for experimentation with new and different gameplay abilities.
