Uncovering the Mind-Bending Link between Eris and Savathun in Destiny 2

Highlights

Eris Morn's transformation into a Hive god has caused her to cast a shadow similar to Savathun, raising concerns among players.

Players have observed parallels between Eris Morn's manifestation within Savathun's Throne World and the physical manifestation of Savathun herself.

Conjecture regarding the potential amplification of Eris Morn's abilities is escalating.

In the latest season of Destiny 2, Eris Morn undergoes a dramatic transformation by harnessing the power of the Hive. Observant players have noticed a striking resemblance between Eris and Savathun, particularly in the way their presence casts a shadow that serves as a constant reminder of the threat they pose. This transformation has turned Eris into a Hive god, and her shadow now mirrors that of Savathun's Throne World, visible to players.

The current season, Season of the Witch, continues the story from Season of the Deep. The Vanguard is forced to seek Savathun's help in order to access The Witness' portal on The Traveler. However, before Savathun can be resurrected, her ghost Immaru asks the guardians to address the increasing aggression of Xivu Arath, the Hive god of war, who is making a campaign into the Sol System. Eris Morn volunteers to confront Xivu Arath by transforming into the new Hive god of vengeance. As players serving as her acolytes, she asks for tithes to gain enough strength to directly challenge Savathun's sister.

Eris Morn's new powers remain uncertain, but she has already demonstrated enough strength to make her presence felt within Savathun's Throne World. A keen observer on Reddit, Nickles_n_Dimes, pointed out the striking resemblance between the three prominent stars in the Athenaeum space, which bear resemblance to Eris' eyes, and Savathun's shade in the Altar of Reflection. This observation has raised concerns about what the future holds for Eris, the Vanguard's trusted expert on the Hive.

Many other users shared Nickles_n_Dimes' apprehension and suggested keeping a close eye on the stars in the Athenaeum throughout the season for any potential changes. In a popular theory discussed in the thread, it was speculated that these "eyes" could gradually transform to resemble Eris, mirroring her increasing power during the Season of the Witch.

With the seasonal hints regarding Savathun's plans, players may not be surprised by the apparent similarities between Eris and the Witch Queen. Yet, it is advisable to closely monitor Eris, now crowned as the vengeful Hive god, as the season advances. It remains uncertain how her transformation will affect her and the potential involvement of Savathun.

Destiny 2 is accessible on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
