I was under the impression that Ashers arm was severed by Brakion during his fireteams strike into the Pyramidion, and being unable to regenerate it for some reason, replaced it with a Goblin arm when he returned to the surface. We know guardians can bounce back from death virtually unscathed, but non lethal amputations are incredibly rare and as such, are barely covered in the lore (at least from the stuff I've seen and read). Cayde got his arm blown off while helping us board Ghauls ship for the final time, however he is an Exo, and machines can almost always be repaired. It is likely he had his ghost transmat his severed arm to a safe location to be repaired later outside of battle. Or he simply had a faction such as a gun foundry, FWC, or maybe even Banshee 44 to build or aquire a replacement for him. As such, Cayde's example can't be used in context for Ashers case.

  • There's no reason not to believe that being revived by a Ghost replaces severed limbs. If dismemberment could cause permanent death for Guardians they wouldn't jump in front of Fallen Walkers or other heavy weapons so quickly. The reason Asher can't return his arm to normal is because it was the Vex that changed it. They're slowly taking over his body and his Ghost can't (or won't since his Ghost has also been infected by the Vex) stop them.

  • Nah all Asher had to do was wait and kill himself. The revival would of fixed it if it was just an issue of losing the arm. Guardians can come back from total obliteration If the revival doesn’t fix it it has to be more complicated.
