Xivu Arath, the Hive God of War, has been one of the main antagonists of Destiny 2 for almost three years now, and with the recent finale of Season of the Witch, Bungie is setting up to prolong this villain even further. Today we’ll be going over Xivu Arath’s background in the series, when she was introduced, her role in the story, and why it’s finally time for Bungie to move onto a new antagonist aside from her.

The Issue At Hand

Let’s start with recent events and look at the overall issue at hand. The Season of the Witch finale ended with Eris Morn banishing Xivu Arath from her own Throne World, cutting her off from her source of power, and most importantly, making her mortal and able to be killed. So what does this mean? It means that, once again, in a future Season or potentially an expansion, we will duke it out with Xivu again. Me personally, this is where I draw the line.
