Lore question about Guardians who died in the Red War
Okay so here’s a scenario
Ghaul: *entraps the Light*
Guardian: *gets killed*
Ghost: *does survive but can’t bring them back*
*few weeks pass*
Ghaul: *gets defeated*
Ghost: *gets the Light back*
Could that Ghost go back and revive their Guardian?

Edited by Drift: 12/5/2021 5:27:42 AMYes, the "Who Guards the Guardians?" lore tab in the Ghost Stories section has an instance of this, except the Ghost was killed right as it tried to revive its Guardian.
-
Yes, it should be possible and I believe there is even a lore tab that implies that. As far as I know, the only way for a Guardian to permanently die is to kill/incapacitate their Ghost so they are unable to revive them, or simply not have the Ghost revive them again.

I imagine they're dead and get stuck in a DMV waiting line in purgatory for a ghost to come around again.

Edited by KannibalKlown: 12/5/2021 5:46:39 AMPersonally. To drill home the loss the red war campaign was supposed to elicit. I’d imagine that any dead guardians from that period are D E A D. But. I don’t know if the lore especially covers the question. About the dead guardians from the red war if their ghosts somehow survived. We have had lines of dialog in the game talking about how [x] is truly gone because there’s no light left in the ghost. Or the body. Like [i]there’s nothing we can do, there’s no light left in them. [/i] And when the red legion trapped the traveler it would seem that it completely cut us off from the light. Save for whatever our ghosts had in reserve. But then the bodies would have been cut off too so they’d be lightless corpses. Then again I think some lore suggests that a small spark of light is present in most life. So maybe it’s there in death. So honestly. I have no idea. Though back to my original point. Our ghost was all kinds of messed up during that battle. I doubt he would have survived for long, solo.

Yes. The only ways to permanently kill a Guardian is to destroy their Ghost, and then kill them…. …or cut both of them off from the Light and then destroy them both. Generally only the Hive and other minions of Darkness are powerful enough to do that. But if the Ghost survived the war, it could go back and revive their Guardian. The other issue is that the Traveler healed itself at the end of the War, so She is capable of creating new Ghosts, and therefore more Guardians.
-
If the guardian died its more then likely the ghost died as well. Gotta remember that ghosts were badly damaged after that happened. Unlike a guardian they cant defend themselves. Its not a matter of what if, considering its a safe bet that if the guardian died the ghost died. But in that non-existent scenario its safe to say that a ghost can revive its guardian as long as it has light.

12 RepliesTheoretically yes, so long as there were a fragment of the guardian and their light left, I believe that they can resurrect us from even a scrap of bone, however our power is limited by what light remains when we perish, if we are completely consumed like in areas with respawn restriction, it is safe to assume that our body, along with our light, are completely assimilated into the hive network of resources, knowledge or conciousness So much so that it's logical that our ghost cannot revive us and either flees or cannot survive the encounter itself Ghosts have one attack however, as seen in one clip, ghost I believe laser beams a knight or captain that is about to kill us, meaning ghosts aren't completely defenceless and Theoretically could fend off a wave of hive all on their own, stemming the darkness and potentially releasing the guardian from its new soul captor One would have to read further into the hives concept of sword logic and both the guardian and the ghosts understanding of it Its possible but not always, hell, the halo Easter egg at the top of the cosmodrome, that's that's guardian that's older than all of us apparently, though I believe lore wise, they gave him a different name
