[@BadKarma444]

The saddest part of Cayde's stash recordings is that To his death he had thought that Zavala and Ikora never truly saw him as their friend and had thought he was alone to the very end

[@abirmawi2808]

I know they really only showed their feelings to him when he died

[@thekrispaypickle8552]

You never truly know what you have until it's gone...

[@cazikelposharkymd618]

Bad Karma no the saddest part is that he thought we would kill him that is the saddest part of the recordings

[@Techhunter_Talon]

@@cazikelposharkymd618 It would have been funny if his message to the Guardian was a tad different if they were a fellow Hunter. Especially as his Dare was that who ever killed him would inherit his Vanguard position.

[@alecLogan]

Bad Karma I heard them a bit differently. For Zavala, he knows that he would “do what had to be done” regardless of how he felt about it, and that he’s absolutely the type to hold on to blame and guilt, so he addressed those in a tone he wanted to be remembered by; not accusing or angry, but mirthful and cheeky. For Ikora, it was a bit more measured. He knew her just as well as she knew him, so he wouldn’t get away with the same audible grin. Instead he told her what she would need to hear at a time like that, from someone like him, “Thank you, and if ever let it get into your head that I hated you... you’re wrong.” That is to say, for almost half of his “possible” killers, he held nothing but certainty that while it hurt them to do it, on some level, it would have been necessary, and on another level, that they might question such after the fact. And what kind of friend would he be to let that be his legacy?

[@samuraibeatzz]

His message to Ikora really got me. He really thought she didn’t like him and if only he knew that it was Ikora who was ready to go to war for him.

[@Kainlarsen]

Hurts to consider, doesn't it?

[@wojciechcichocki1429]

That message, and the message to us, just hit different.

[@Kerosiin]

She really considered him one of her closest friends, and it hurts like hell to know he thought she didn’t want anything to do with him

[@garrettviewegh677]

Ironically, Ikora seemed to connect with Cayde as a friend most. Maybe she saw him as a brother like she sees Zavala as her family? It’s bittersweet that some Guardians create a found family after having been resurrected.

[@redstonepro5412]

Ikoria also said that she considered cayde the only real friend she had.

Can we appreciate how Cayde legit thought that Hawthorne, a normal human, could permanently kill him? That’s some respect right there.

[@Aztesticals]

She is a badass when she needs to be

[@vismortis]

With the right tools we know that a human could kill a guardian with a final death. Ada-1 granted a few final deaths with Izzy. Anyone could use a thorn to down a guardian. That’s how that sniper shot killed his ghost, a charged bolt from a Thorn full of pure darkness

[@fennec13]

Seeing how Cayde-6 thought everyone hated him is absolutely and truly heartbreaking.

[@sebaspartan06]

But thinking that we the silent strong type the community that loves him, the simple thought of not having a back up that must people hate him to point of murder is just dishearting

[@kaguscon]

No it isn't, he's a fictional character.

[@MrCrunchytime]

You have it wrong, actually. In the case of Deep Stone Crypt and Taniks, yes, it was hate. You have to keep in mind what he says to Hawthorne; it's all part of being a Hunter. Mostly, I would assume that the Red War kind of acted as a "Memento Mori" of sorts. It reminded Cayde that while he was powerful, he also had a weakness that could be exploited. He had to be prepared for a worst-case scenario; his final death. These caches you find were made recently, after Ghaul's defeat. In fact, if you understand Hunter behavior to any degree, you would see that these messages were made from a Hunter's perspective, with a Hunter's idea of how they would die and who would kill them. If anything, Cayde likely didn't believe that most of these would happen, DSC and Taniks being the most likely. And before you say "Petra's came true", it actually didn't... in a way.

[@Foxxie0kun]

Exactly. It wasn't Petra's intent for Cayde to die, in fact if it hadn't been for Uldren and the Barons, Cayde would have mopped up that riot and gotten back in time for some super spicy ramen.

[@MrCrunchytime]

@@Foxxie0kun Cayde didn't even have to be there. Petra didn't ask for his help, he went to her because he was restless. He wasn't killed for any personal reason; he was killed because he was there, because he got in the way. He was killed because he engaged dangerous enemies without backup. He died like a Hunter; in way over his head.

[@ErimosAster]

When I finished the caydes will quest line, and got my AoS from banshee, banshee immediately said "have you seen cayde around?". Broke me.

[@ice_trey6740]

That hurts

[@cartercravillion]

Now I understand what Cayde meant by Long-Slow-Whisper. In the Deep Stone Crypt the darkness statue actually produces an eerie whispering when you stand below it.

Also he mentions about seeing a better guardian would put a bullet in Taniks. Who we murdered ruthlessly. It was in memory of cayde

What gets me is that Cayde honestly thought Ikora didn't like him, that she didn't consider him her friend. When in reality, Cayde was probably her closest friend after the fallout with Osiris. You don't call for razing the entire Reef to ashes over a mere aquaintance after all. I just hope that, if there is an afterlife in Destiny, Cayde was finally able to learn just how much he meant to Ikora

Just like in real life when a person loses someone close. The hurt never goes away, you just eventually learn to live with it and keep pushing forward.

[@grimreaper6366]

As a titian, I never saw Zavala as my vanguard representative. Both he and Ikora were always so serious, so quite, and so resolute and determined. While these features are essential in a leadership position, you also need to know how to smile, laugh, and relax. Cayde-6 embodied all of this and more. He was the air beneath the wings of the last city, the joy that could be felt through her streets as the days bustled on, and the happy content peacefulness of the empty and quite streets as the moon rose and shone brightly on humanities one last vestige of safety. As a kid, I saw Cayde-6 as the hero he was, lifting the city, it's people, and the guardians that protected them to new heights. He knew how and when to make us laugh, he knew when he should be serious, and he knew how much the last city meant to everyone. He protected not only the city, but the hope it represented with his last and dying breath. I like to believe that when that cold lead ended his life that fateful day, that as his light was snuffed out, it brought the hope, determination, and fire to new rising guardians. This new light would serve as a reminder, nay a promise, that when darkness feels all consuming, that when fear strikes into the hearts of the innocent, and the good, that a shining light, a beacon of hope and virtue will rise to the occasion. Cayde's death may have sunken the tower, the last city, and every guardians heart deep into an abyss like none other, but in his death he serves as a beacon to aspire to. We guardians should strive to be as good, as noble, and as righteous as Cayde. This is why forever and always, I will see Cayde as the vanguard that best represents not only myself, but us all. For when humanity is in it's darkest hour, Its bleakest of moments, it isn't our light, our power, or our vaults of weapons that will see us through, it is our hope, our ideals, and our inner light. Cayde understood this, he saw the finite aspects of life, and accepted them. He saw the demons that crawled forth from the black pits of hell, and fought them with every ounce of his being. He saw the threats that surrounded him, and yet through all of this, through the pain, the sorrow, and the unknown, he held hope for the last city, for his fireteam, for the guardians, and for humanity. As the light died out in Cayde's eyes, a fire was lit within our guardians souls, it serves as a reminder to always burn bright, not only for ourselves, but those who are absent. Cayde-6 may be lost, but he will never be forgotten. May the waves of time wash over us, but never erode the name, the legacy, and the memory of Cayde-6. Those who are lost, are never truly lost, they are merely removed form our physical world. To lose someone completely is to forget them. Those who are remembered and honored, truly are immortal in the eyes of the world around them. Never forgotten, always remembered, Cayde-6.

[@joemurillo8872]

My question is how did he know it was "you" that was going to read that letter.?

[@TurpGrain43]

Joe Murillo I think it’s saying he believed our character would be the most likely to be the one he knows how major our guardian has been so we’d be the one to kill him over others he didn’t think the others cared much for him due to how he is reckless and how he didn’t follow rules as mentioned in the video and he probably didn’t really think his enemies that probably logically the most likely to kill him so maybe this answers your question if not eh I tried

[@finleynicholas8534]

Probably not because some titan and warlock players will complain by saying how come they are a leader of a class and we're not also a vanguard is suppose to stay at the tower most of the time so yeah there's that most likely the character will denie the roll because they fill most likely feel uncomfortable of taking up the role of there just dead friend

[@tarmacsolid606]

Technically Uldren should become the Hunter Vanguard, since ya know hes a guardian now

[@SentinelStudios1]

Not exactly. Cayde's dare only goes as far as who killed him, meaning Uldren. Even though we killed Uldren, we wouldn't be the Hunter Vanguard because that was not Uldren's dare, and Cayde's dare only applies to the one who killed him.

[@Yes-ly1nx]

When I first played Destiny 1 I fell in love with Cayde and eventually made a Exo Hunter cause I liked him so much. Named him Ares 1 cause the guardian gets rezed at the beginning and forgets everything so I considered it a reboot. Playing through the game as a Hunter was fun and when destiny 2 rolled around I remade Ares 1 and with the opening being similar I named him Ares 2 said something like "Bad luck got him yoinked and his Ghost had to save him again. When Cayde died I felt it was fitting but I was pissed and distraught. I felt the same way Ares 2 felt...Burn em all

Cayde's last message legit made me cry when i first experienced it, even now i still tear up a bit

Goodbye Cayde. I'll see you starside. I am legit tearing up. Cayde was arguable universally liked, and for some, loved. I wish Cayde knew how much his friends cared for him. The fact that he thought his own fireteam could potentially kill him is heartbreaking. Rest easy hunter, we'll watch your back.

Honestly the writing of this story is like a good written book, funny, sad, memorable and more and when cayde died it was like loosing a real person and we need morw games like this

[@amen123abcd]

I can just imagine, with all these messages he left, Cayde just sitting back in a chair, legs kicked up on a desk, talking to no one but the recorder before him. Some he's laughing about, others he's more serious about, and actually takes his feet off the desk to speak and address some. To me, it feels like that fits Cayde's character.

[@pluto3194]

And I'm sure he's made hundreds of these things for every possible person to kill him. Seems like a very Cayde thing to do

[@Zack_Zander]

Someguy1237 Yea, I’m pretty sure he made hundreds of them. Just that these 10 are might be the most important to him because he left them with his Ace of Spade parts

I’ve always held a… morbid curiosity about how Guardians process death - the kind you don’t return from. Then I saw the faces of those mourning Cayde. The Farm practically came to a standstill.

I killed the first 4 barons with Malfeasence. I would end the last 4 with Thorn. Drifter mentioned that Malfeasence was an attempt at replacing Thorn.. well let's just say I felt a personal connection, starting with the Descended gun, and ending with the Original gun. It felt.. fulfilling, and I even recorded it too. Just the handcannons, and almost no other substitute throughout my slaughter-fest across the Tangled Shore.

[@joshuawendt4244]

The note to Ikora, and what she says about Cayde, is great story. I never viewed Cayde as lonely before. Thanks for making these!

[@mistamonke7505]

I finished the Exotic quest earlier today and when I finally got the weapon and Banshee told me not to forget then. He asked “anyone seen Cayde?” That honestly made me very. Heartbroken. Like even when I got the fabled weapon, it was not a victory. Because for me to GET this weapon. I had to lose Cayde, I’m a Warlock but I could relate to Cayde as a character a lot. Being happy go lucky but deeper down is. Alone. I’ll miss him

I find it funny that at 6:57 , when byf pulled out the sniper, the thrall took a couple steps back before charging forward again. That proves that the Hive are either cautious or startled by the action, or, at least that's how the A.I. works.

Ever read the lore of the Vex, The Vex even for a game the A.I. For them actually is incredible and fun fact The Vex could wipe out everyone if they wanted to, we couldn’t stop it even if we tried, they are the most powerful thing in the solar system and they have the power to turn you into Vex by infection which is another fun fact

[@Emrald7]

Though they were only meters apart, in there minds, they were separated by eternity. She, a warlock, possessed by rage, anger, sorrow. All these flowed from her, and one could almost see the energy flow from her. He, a titan, his own emotions unreadable across an expressionless face, as of daring the other to speak a challenge. His word propelled the conversation forward, as if speaking what had previously been an unspoken challenge. “Say it.” “Cowardice.” The words, spoken with such malice, shook the very foundation of the tower. None knew it, but for a single, solitary moment, the fate of the tower hung in the balance. The man turned to the canvas. “I will not bury any more friends.” “You won’t have to.” A third voice enters. A change in conversation, with each word a bullet. “Uldren Sov. Is. Mine.”
