Destiny 2 - Cut Content, Unsolved Mysteries, Oddities & Curiosities

[@FierceDeitySponce]

I guess I should update this since it’s been a minute and I know I talked about a part 2. I decided to shelve part two due to 1. Learning some new information about some of these topics that made what I was going to cover pointless and 2. Hearing that an actual content creator was working on something very similar, and after seeing some WIP stuff I feel like their execution is a lot better than what I was putting together. Not gonna say who, but be on the lookout!

[@kane216]

Why not say who is it mainstream d2 KZbinr?

[@EvazeOfficial]

Hey Sponce! Tried reaching out to you in another video. I am also creating a video on Destiny's Original Story and was wondering if I could use clips from some areas from this video? I would 100% give credit and link back to your video. Secrets and unused content in Destiny is super interesting and I was blown away by what you were able to find! If not I understand. Just wanted to reach out! Have a good day

[@c00k.c00kerson]

Well, we’d all like to see a part 2 as this is super fascinating with the tools you have

[@CrookedParadigm]

"Not gonna say who" - why the hell not?

[@FierceDeitySponce]

@@CrookedParadigm it’s rather rude to speak on someone else’s behalf. But, in his new video, Solus teased at doing what I had planned. Keep an eye on his channel. I do still wanna see if I can squeeze some more interesting stuff out of these games. For now my eyes are drifting in the direction of King’s Fall. With being in the middle of a move and work being devastating, it could take time. But we shall see.

[@danielleighton4161]

The cat statue in the eaz was used in beyond light and if you interacted with it you would get a triumph or seasonal challenge done that would reward you with a retold tale.

[@Senriam]

I remember it from EAZ in 2019. Everyone was freaking out over it when it was found. Guess they ended up using it!

[@danielleighton4161]

@Senriam it also worked as a nice teaser for the next season at the time which was dreaming city related.

[@samspin429]

I think a lot of the weirdness with the EDZ can be explained by the idea that the EDZ is not just one of the oldest destinations in D2 but was originally meant to ship with D1. It actually appears in the original Destiny reveal trailer (kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6iyhpxqf6l2atE) you can see the shard of the Traveler surrounded by the same sort of lightning we see in game today off in the distance. This would make it very hard to tell which pieces of geometry were developed for D2 but cut and which were left over after the destination was cut from D1. with this in mind, my take on the weird throne in the Sunken Ketch is that that model was intended to be a Kell's throne, a cultural signifier Mara appropriated when she became the leader of the House of Wolves but discarded when she had no use for it (Mara's throne at galaxy's edge does not resemble the one from Destiny 1 in the slightest).

[@cypher4732]

i wonder if the edz was a big part of the joe staten story, so when they restarted they couldn't find a use for the planet and just saved it for later

[@garraz-bf3ui]

​@cypher4732 the was meant to be cut from base Destiny 1 and the EDZ was going to be part of the comet expansion for Destiny 1 which became the taken king. The comet would include the EDZ and a new area on mars which became IO in Destiny 2

[@napkin60]

How does this have so little views this is fucking fascinating. I cannot believe we have a tool like this to interact with an online-only game. And your commentary is genuinely insightful, it's crazy how you know which load zones go to which maps off the top of your head. Good shit

[@Herobuilder21]

The fallen ketch having mara's throne makes sense because the entire reef was made from old junk, plus their indoctrination/capture of house wolves, most of it wasn't truly awoken. I'd bet that mara's throne in d1 was just the modified pilot seat of a ketch anyway.

[@danielleighton4161]

The dark forest wasnt where we got our light back but it was where we used to get our other subclasses after the first one. It has that big space in front of the shard so that you have room to try out your new supers.

[@veralium]

Just watched back some old footage after seeing this, man the nostalgia hit hard haha

[@yhelloh]

20:57 theres a picture of these on destiny 1 art from 10+ years ago 28:13 this was meant for the staten cut with the seventh seraphs uploading themselves. Richard Sloniker (MoCap Actor for the Guardian, Cayde and VA for Glint), said he fondly remembers this room as he recorded scenes here in the Original Story of Destiny before the rework. Sadly he couldn't elaborate further. 33:14 its a sootpearl. "These oddly beautiful orbs can sometimes be found sunk into the rot and filth of the Dreadnaught." 37:00 froggy has a video on this but i forget when

[@garraz-bf3ui]

On the Sunken ketch, the Bride room is a reused asset from the cutscene where we first meet the Awoken in Destiny 1. The area was meant to be part of the original Reef before it was redesigned for House of Wolves. The old version of the Reef still exists in Destiny 1 if you use blender. Its located in the awoken cutscene file with the throne room and everything.

[@solo_741]

to add onto this, there is actually 2 more versions of that throne room stored in the dreadnaught's maps. One of them seems to be mostly identical to the one from the cutscene, while the other one is an unused and unseen 'damaged' version, were there is lots of internal damage, like the chair having a chunk taken out of it. The damaged version also has a different skybox iirc

[@hadescloudy8906]

worth noting the cosmodrome SABER side area was used briefly in d2 for seasonal stuff back in seraph

[@hadescloudy8906]

the other leftover warmind vault area in the cosmo was used for story mission stuff in d1 vanilla, dark below, and taken king. the leftover room in d2 has a ton of geometry cut out but the basic layout is the same

[@Valskyr]

yeah i was gonna say, that big circular room in the cosmodrome near the saber strike was used in taken king

[@Ahnock]

@@Valskyr it's also where you first met omnighoul iirc. but yes, also where you start the quest for sleeper simulant.

[@danielleighton4161]

33:41 im pretty sure that area is used for the opening cutscene to the shadowkeep campaign where eris touches the side of the pyramid and activates the nightmares.

[@Butter_Chief]

I think The EDZ probably has a lot more unused/cut content we haven't seen considering it was reused from D1's original story.

[@stevem.9340]

This deserves more views considering how in-depth it gets

[@FierceDeitySponce]

Well I’m not monetizing or interested in monetizing, so I’m just letting it go about organically. Feel free to share it around with anyone who would find it interesting! Part 2 is in progress, it’s a large project though and PC is starting to struggle so it’ll probably take me a few more weeks. About 70% done with it.

[@mrjettiellll9088]

[@dredgenrur3190]

So far, this is the best "OOB", if we can call it that, video that I've seen. Please make more of them as I've love to see more of this unused content from this perspective. No rush though.

[@koldraxonofthefirstseven5718]

The spot at 28:12 is from D1, part of The Dark Below's questline - you had to protect a bit of Rasputin from Omnigul and Crota's brood as they sought to mess with it (hack him or shut him down) as part of their escalation. This section is replicated and reused for RAS Seraph war bunkers across the system that resurfaced in Season of the Worthy.

[@kylethmpsn]

I’ve been using Charm to explore some of the in-game assets (and especially the day 1 Steam pkg files) but this is next level! Definitely understand the tool needs to kept private to avoid Bungie’s wrath but I appreciate you sharing this video! What a treat to watch.

[@SlimothyJames03]

A lot of that stuff in the EDZ I’ve literally never seen before. Super fascinating stuff, love the video.

[@venomous5291]

I'd love to see that kings fall video, I've done quite a bit of exploring in the load zones from patrol and in the raid in destiny 1 and I want to see if most of the stuff is still there.

[@Spaze2503]

Froggy has a video on the spot at 37:00 and he called it the Iron forest. Could be an area that was supposed to be used in red war when we rescued Cayde and the portal that is loaded is the one that probably would've brought us there. The portal is currently in artifact's edge and is deactivated. The Iron Forest entrance is also loaded in the artifact's edge load. Froggy's Vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eV6vXnasfJKtftE

[@DuperGG]

I understand why the tool must be kept private but I would LOVE to explore the maps myself. Great video though :D

[@trash_irl]

there is a public tool. lookup how to install alkahest on youtube, it should be by xela. (the tool is called alkahest; yw) you can look at way more than this. including leaks. this tool is again. public

[@alex-xgk]

just wanted to say great video and im really really looking forward to a part 2 of this! love seeing cut content/insanely difficult to reach areas in d2. bungie really does a wonderful job at fueling secrets, even if unintentionally

[@nottoxicD2]

I believe you could get into the area shown at 26:17 in a seasonal mission during Season of the Seraph. I think there was a special load-in to get into an instance where you were on the other side of that door, or it only opened in that instance. Very cool to learn that the area was part of D1 and on the other side of a door in the Fallen S.A.B.E.R. strike!

[@84m30]

21:28 it might be placeholder. But Mara Sov’s throne was in a Fallen Ketch that was commandeered after they conquered the House of Wolves.

[@spikethewolf9869]

25:42 This area got used for a end of season quest/mission for season of the Seraph

[@ToaDrakua]

The Dark Forest area from the beginning of the vid was first used for the subclass quests for unlocking the other two subclasses on each character in Vanilla. You'd travel through the forest activating constellation holograms representing characters closely related to each subclass before taking a portal over to the lakeside Shard, where you'd unlock your subclass and get to use it on a selection of enemies, either Fallen, Cabal, or Taken.

[@BogoljubTeofilovic]

this was fun, thanks for the showcase!

[@radarhead82]

This was a treat to watch on a sleepy morning, also you have a very nice voice! I always get maddeningly curious about closed off areas and i spent a lot of time in that false shard area trying to get out of bounds when they gave access again via lost ghost quest

[@ShayBlez]

I love seeing things like this, cant help but wonder how possible it is to explore maps, like this, myself, if at all. Thanks for showing us. :]

[@maxdeathlore]

23:22 this looks like what they’d use to plan out the skybox. Scale down a part of the level and then build the skybox surrounding this area.

[@84m30]

37:23 I think it’s an early rendition of the changes they made in season of the Chosen. The original area was much smaller before Caiatls land tank was there

[@md8181]

this is dope! this video showed up in my recommendations and after watching it, i'm definitely subscribed. thanks for this really cool peek behind the curtains of d2!

[@MovableFormula]

Late reply but 20:15 are leftover assets from the Destiny 1 EDZ. The EDZ was going to be a destination in the 2013 Staten Cut, but was pushed back after the rewrite. (You can see footage of it in 2013 ViDocs) As you correctly pointed out, those are early fallen walkers, we have concept art of them in a snowy edz (unable to post link unfortunately because the comment will get autodeleted) It's largely unclear what this would've been used for, it could've been abandoned by the time the Staten Cut was mostly finalized anyways. This is possibly the earliest piece of Destiny content we currently have access to viewing. (in terms of game files)

[@Berrineso]

Out of curiosity could you see this Ketch during any of the footage?

[@MovableFormula]

@@Berrineso Ketch doesn’t exist in any old footage, no, however by virtue of what it has inside it is most definitely something from before Destiny 1, not 2.

[@danielleighton4161]

The reason the fallen ketch looks so similar to maras throne room and ship is cause she uses fallen ships.

[@MajicMarco]

Yeah the throne she sits on in the cutscene from vanilla D1 is a throne taken from a ketch. All ketches have a throne that the archon priests sit in.

[@erikirgens4260]

That first Luna one is the cinematic with Eris opening Shadowkeep.

[@blablablahstupid]

dude i have ALWAYS been obsessed with the art and envoirnments of Destiny so this video is literally the most interesting thing ive seen in awhile. thank you so much for posting this, good luck on part 2!!!

[@thevoid3062]

I remember someone back in the day managed to find the maps of areas seen in the reflections of scopes or something? There was an entire new tower map that was massive and still never put into the game.

[@solo_741]

yes, there are a bunch of unused cubemaps that show early or cut areas. (also a lot of the earty cubemaps from d2 have guardian armor in them from when they were captured, oops!)

[@mono-rtv]

3:30 I believe this area was used in one of the forsaken cutscenes, one where Uldren took shard of the traveler

[@Ace-Intervention]

Your probably right

[@danielleighton4161]

It was used for when we would go to get our other subclasses. The uldren cutscene is set in the same area but it's a pretendered cutscene so it's not the literal map.

[@XAL]

Feeding the EAZ Cat was part of a Solstice triumph years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5K8e4KYhtSfecU Originally we probably went into QS236, got charged with light temporarily in the place where we get the cutscene in vanilla, go into the cave leading to the Shard area, fight our way through to the end to the (+X) thing, get spit out of the matching (+X) end point into Galaxy Pools, then cutscene getting our light back for good. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a more much more revelatory story beat meant for it, and they decided to just axe it. 2nd iteration probably had us getting teleported into that cave at 14:12 from black forest also shown here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3jFfJqcn8Z6rbcsi=KNi8kCBASVHfiyso&t=867 That trippy darkness spot probably teleported you to the inaccessible outcropping on the left side of the area in black forest where you were supposed to get sucked up into the gravity well. I think froggy has a vid oobing to that outcropping, can't find it right now though.

[@FierceDeitySponce]

@@XAL very cool! Definitely didn’t know that cat had been used. I’ve seen the froggy video of getting to the outcropping. I doubt it’s related to lotus pond, that cave seems like a dark forest into qs236 bridge. I would love to get my hands on a pre-beyond light build so I could explore this area before it was gutted.

[@XAL]

@@FierceDeitySponce word. is the map with the ships, big jade rabbit logo, and the space station O rings accessible in your viewer? I think it was environment_55 or something in mont's cubemap viewer years back

[@5xa]

I have a copy of the game from during shadowkeep before the sunsetting content removal in beyond light. It would be neat to be able to look around some of the old stuff from there. see the real shard of the traveler, maybe some of the old raid stuff.

[@FierceDeitySponce]

@@5xa that’s what’s coming up in part 2 in a few weeks actually! Anyone can get a day 1 PC copy from Steam Depot with a tool called DepotDownloader.

[@SushiJuice]

That cosmodrome area you showed was briefly a playable area. At the end of Season 19 (season of the Sareph) you travel down there to gather one of Rasputin's locked memory cores or something. You fight taken enemies and everything to get down there.

[@maxdeathlore]

Great video! Would love to see more zoom ins on far away objects. Do the raids! Subbed!

[@cptenn9419]

In regards to the Shard of Traveler, if memory serves me correctly, it actually was part of additional subclass unlock missions you did. Not part of the Red War where you get your light back, but subsequent(optional) missions you could take to unlock the other subclasses. Those missions had you go to a different shard than the campaign mission. It was started directly from its own mission in EDZ map. For example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4HMeKCNZbuHp6c Or kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnPPoX-pZ79nhrs I may be wrong, but I do think it may have been possible some non hackers may had gotten oob to the point where the lift starts(which only requires a player to go above/past the turnback)(I certainly could be wrong on this). I do know for a fact though that Galaxy pools was initially found by the hacker breaking load zones. Legitimate routes to Galaxy Pools didnt take long once people knew it existed.

[@FierceDeitySponce]

@@cptenn9419 this is correct! The first video was one I used in my research for this, but hadn’t seen that second one or done that particular mission. Your timeline is also correct, the original video is still up of the hacker finding the unnamed load. Froggy found a legitimate way to it very soon after.

10:20 the correction on not being able to skate isnt entirely accurate if abilities are enabled as you can skate from super casts with varying degrees of speed, so being on prismatic hunter would allow you to select of one the faster supers and still have grapple

The area at the begining of the video was used in vanilla D2. It was the mission area where you obtained your two other subclasses.

[@mushatch]

Thanks algo for showing me this. I love this whole video. I’d absolutely love to know how you got this program to see all of this but I’m going to guess that you would get in trouble if you told us I can’t wait for part 2. Love seeing OOB stuff and I’ve always wanted a way to see how kill barriers and turn back zones looked. Be able to have someone look at them so that it would make it easier for OOB and getting past certain points instead of having to guess and test places to get out

[@juleslab14]

I wonder if the cat statue in the eaz wasn't part of a secret triumph from previous solstices.

[@ARavingLobster]

It was, I think in the 2nd or 3rd year old solstice there was a triumph to go down there and interact with something by the cat Statue. I can't remember if you had to bring it an offering or not.

I'm only 20 minutes in but this is a great video. I've been playing this game since D1 DLC #2 and I didn't know about most of the stuff you're talking about. I have a request, is it possible you could pick at the Salvation's Edge raid in this manner? There's a lot of unsolved mysteries there and you might find something no-one else has!

[@FierceDeitySponce]

@@zohzow I actually haven’t completed the raid myself yet, and I kinda don’t wanna go poking around like that until the next raid drops. Definitely wouldn’t be posting any content from it publicly until then, as that feels like a fair spoiler embargo. I follow RaidSecrets pretty religiously and I’m not aware of any major mysterious about it, so I wouldn’t even know where to look.

[@zohzow]

@@FierceDeitySponce That's totally understandable! I'm highly looking forward to if/when you cover it. As for mysteries there's one that I am personally VERY invested in which is figuring out if The Witness's body is the entire Monolith, and if it isn't, how much of the Monolith is The Witness's body. I've spent hours out of bounds documenting as much of the body as I can (see my videos) but I hit dead-ends that can't be solved without a map editor due to the sheer size of the raid. For example, we still have no clue what the entire Monolith looks like, it's either too far away or too close to make out the nature of its architecture. For more specific examples, one would be the fact that there's unexplained tree roots on one side of Monolith that are so out of bounds we can't tell where they lead to. Another specific example would be the room that encounter 2 (Dissipation) takes place in. The boss and the entire room (which is absolutely massive) have yet to be closely examined by anyone from what I've seen which is unfortunate because it appears that they both have valuable story-telling tied to them that remains unknown.

It was something like “back to the sludge from galaxy pools” but didn’t show very much exploration of the unloaded area.

[@bezolsmate]

@@FierceDeitySponce I was thinking, in theory, perhaps if you kill yourself in midair with Touch of Malice while you're in the pull after you hit the load, one of those respawn points by the lights could be the default spawn.

@@bezolsmate yeah I had the same thought, I tried having a friend join me while I was in the pull but join on leader is bugged right now and it just dropped him in The Sludge no matter where I was.

@@Helios1097 there’s a running joke in the team fortress 2 community about valve finding an unused coconut texture that, when they deleted it, broke the whole game. So that one asset was integral to keeping the game together, and it couldn’t be removed. A while back, Bungie announced that blue drops would be removed once at the (soft?) cap, and when they implemented this, a whole bunch of other stuff started breaking after that update. It could have been unrelated to the blue drops, but the joke transferred over anyways that those blue engrams were d2’s useless coconut textures.

if it's not a secret, what kind of tool is this and where can I buy it?

@@tosik7207 it is secret, it is also not paid and it would not be legal to sell a tool like this. Anyone offering such a thing is a scam. Never pay money for things like this.

28:14 there was a 2014 rasputin room that you could glitch to. someone would have to correct me if I’m wrong, but in D1, there were 7 “seats” in that room that were speculated to represent the 7 seraphs that uploaded their consciousness from the cut story. isn’t that the same as this room? kzbin.info/www/bejne/barXe6SXicR6eLssi=MnmPrLcjADgZviZV

[@aykkara4208]

Seeing this, Bungie hasnt a single clue what the fuck they are doing. Removing all these areas, cutting them out and making them not even explorable is fucking bullshit. YET you can revisit some of the MANY MANY MANY areas around the path like niobe lab for example and be completely confused what the hell that place is. They build their amazing world only to be thrown away. Destiny is truly a lost franchise.

btw shard is actually called shard internally just newer versions of destiny dont have the name youve figured this out by now since you mentioned you were going back to shadowkeep for a vid i am keen on believing theres a stray load either in gpools thats reachable either by prospectorbox or a stray load in quarentine sector 236 or dark forest (even tho some random person said a group used hard cheating to come literally everywhere to try and find it but maybe they didnt hit the exact xyz we shall hope)

would you be willing to document areas such as shard on TCRF? or at the very least making a tutorial on this, i'm absolutely fascinated for the sake of content preservation

[@ShibbySweet91]

can you take a look at gambit maps? it would be interesting to see if the plate for the 15th wish was actually in the game. i remember there being rumor of it being on the map with a beach with kind of a broken building in the middle under certain circumstances. or in the meatballs mouth. i looked at older videos but did not see anything of the sort. not sure if you can look at models of characters but since youre doing older content in episode 2, it would be neat to actually see.

[@solo_741]

there was never a plate or code for the 15th wish, it never existed in game. plus, its story was wrapped up with season of the wish, were the wish to follow the witness was revealed to be the 15th wish
