In its weeklyDestiny 2blog, Bungie unveiled a teaser which showed a team of Guardians attempting to enter the Traveler through the portal created by its communion to the Veil. At the end ofLightfall, the Witness entered into the Traveler via the portal and has been missing ever since.

Sloane revealed that Ahsa, a sea creature on Titan, could help them defeat the Witness. After saving Ahsa from Xivu Arath’s grasp, the creature revealed that the Guardians will need the help of Savathun if they are to find and defeat the Witness.
