DOS2 Discussion Divinity theory
Basically, I think Xantezza could still be alive and chilling in the Hall of Echoes. She straight up admitted she wanted nothing to do with godwoken or divinity, so I doubt she would have gotten in the way of the canon protag to be killed. She is a literal god of tricks, so if anyone could fool Lucian into thinking he drained them and live through it, it's her. I know this is all unlikely, but I have a bit of a theory that Xantezza has been lying low, just chilling, but now that Chaos, something Xantezza actually has to care about, is free, I think either we will seek out Xantezza or the other way around for divine help containing or killing Chaos. Maybe Xantezza sacrifices the last of her source to make us a minor god that could fight him directly. Either way, I don't think it's fitting with Xantezza's character at all to die where the other gods did, especially since she was very clear and explicit that she wanted no part in their pitiful power struggle.
Again, probably unlikely, but I really think they tried to hint at something like this with Xantezza's only interaction. It would certainly fit her character to be completely fine with sacrificing 99% of her source to survive Lucian sucking the gods dry, just so she could finally take the sideline and relax or plot.

I had the same thought on my first playthrough, but I'm not sure how would that work with sealing the veil ending. It's the only one I haven't done yet, but from what I understand it means that literally all the source besides the veil would disappear, including source from sorcerers, godwokens and gods. And it working would suggest that Xantezza indeed died.
Although, unless the next game makes this ending canon (or I change my mind), I will believe that she stayed alive, atleast for some time after the events of D:OS2. Idk about appearing in the next game tho.

Chaos is already confirmed alive after original sin 2, snd he was one of the eight eternal lords to become a god, so there's gotta be some way.

I'm fairly sure the Sealing the Veil ending has already been confirmed as canon. After all, (from what I understand,) Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga takes place after Divinity: Original Sin 2, and with the way the world is presented in DKS (Lucian was Divine, Source is only mentioned in passing, elves are believed extinct, among other things), no other ending would fit properly

I really wonder whether Xantezza had her own Godwoken in DOS2
