Destiny 2 - HUGE SECRETS! Major Death, New Dire Enemies and Precursor Weapons Of Sorrow

[@TheUnnamedOnes]

What if Eris got Taken, which is why Sloane is back and why we’re trying to learn new tricks related to Taking?

[@jorgemigueltavares6041]

Yeah, she's Taken, alright... *_Trasmat firing_* and all that...

[@keionenglish3636]

The one thing that got me was the promotion art. Look at it closely, it looks like the dreadnought is sinking and its deploying anchors. Also, it seems like oryx is "shark" or a "kraken" in some sense. The tenticles also give me the sense of a ship bring dragged down to the depths of an ocean. Maybe there willl be a theme of "drowning in the deep" with this season sense that fits the bill with the hive.

[@seanraines8459]

I know it's a very large stretch but what if those tentacles are from Commander ta'och or whatever his name was inside the conductor's echo

[@EvazeOfficial]

Possibly! Could also be tied to the worm Akka as its body was used to build the Dreadnaught

[@bryanwhite7805]

When I wanna hear lore, you are my go to guardian Evaze! You are always on top of it and your voice is relaxing. Keep it up bro!

[@willpackson5]

Hive basically like sea humanoid erchants or sea humanoid anthropods before they were the hive.

[@acw_tracks7097]

Eris is a vendor so she has plot armor

[@jinxed24-74]

So was cayde

[@seanraines8459]

Cayde was a vendor

[@jinxed24-74]

And hawthorn

[@Luckydave123]

We already had characters on several location at the same time. Cayde died in forsaken but was still around for the content before it etc

[@Melchizedek777]

Amanda was a Vendor 😢

[@captainrelyk]

Far fetched out there theory… what if those tentacles and the weird creature that is a sphere with tentacles is the winnower, aka the “Eldritch” force Bungie talked about?

[@devilghostface8798]

He didn't commune with the witnesses. Oryx spoke directly to the darkness .

[@nanka806]

So regarding the tentacles, could they be connected to the Nine? They're sometimes referred to as many tentacles wrapped around every bit of matter

[@MythicFish]

Here is a good question <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="545">9:05</a> did eris ever get a ship replacement? Lol

[@nickjaydar]

Okay let’s break down the weapon of sorrow part. He didn’t say this is a precursor to THE weapons of sorrow he said A weapon of sorrow. What if this is weapon turns into or combined with another weapon letting it stand alone or be fused with another weapon. What if that’s how they’re going to have it be craftable. Or maybe there will be another weapon all together that we will earn after we get this one. It’s interesting that they added redacted right after that as if they are teasing us about a secret they’ve got cooked up. Unless they’re just referring to a current weapon of sorrow my guess would be touch of malice with maybe a tie to the ring in the touch of malice? Who knows but that statement seems much more complex than I think we realize.

[@dembibro]

My theory is she dies in her hive form and then gets revived into a taken like form. Or Salone dies or becomes fully taken

[@chriscarter1661]

She lost her Hive form when sfw renounced her powers as a hive god. I suppose it's possible she could attempt to redo the ritual to ascend a second time though?

[@squeezedlemon3861]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="480">8:00</a> These eyes are extremely similar to the eyes of savathun in arrivals

[@mondaymeatloaf]

Perhaps but the common denominator for eyes, tentacles, and Taken has always been with Chimeras.

[@brucehc4975]

Close, but not quite exact

[@thesean7094]

What if Akka (the Dreadnaught itself) is waking up with the power of the echo? Or even the Leviathan finding its way out through the corpse of its long dead disciple?

[@ZugaTurrelai]

I’m thinking that Asha gets taken at the beginning of the episode. Xivu tried to before, and maybe Oryx succeeded, he did take Riven after all. But it’s hard to say for certain, but I think the tentacles are likely related to Akka, the worm god of secrets that the dreadnought was made from. The echos having light and dark power may have revived them, but death is just a word to the worm gods and the Ahamkara so calling Akka dead even before now is slightly wrong. Oryx even had to fight Alma’s festering corpse after he was trapped in the deep in the books of sorrow. So I’m betting Akka.

[@friendlyneighborhoodclown7754]

I don't know why but I believe that the unkown Dread commander is named Tempest and is a lesser disciple of the Witness who commands stasis as in one of the Final Shape levels you fight a lot of Dread named Tempest's Beloved who are all attendents and omens but I could just be tweeking.

[@strife6763]

Aren't the dire taken the enemies under the dreaming City? The ones you can get to by going out of bounds

[@ADAM2ME]

I think that was the Aphelion

[@communitygamer117]

Its definitely Asa dying or being killed because that'd be why Solane decided to teach us Taken powers. Its also why Solane would leave Titan where Asa resides.

[@umbratilicious15]

are you hoping taken will be the 3rd darkness subclass?

[@vincentgoodridge3211]

The tentacles are from the ship coming back to life the dreadnought was a hive God before it might have found away to come back to life by the echo 🤔

[@umbratilicious15]

worm god*

[@EternalFount]

Bungie already said what the tentacles are. It's the "Eldritch force bubling up" as Bungie said. Apparently it's actively rewarding our violence on the Dreadnought.

[@basedroots7857]

I thought all the echos where from past races that had fought the witness and lost so how could it be orxy if we killed him ?

[@mauricegreen5321]

@@mendoncabeast1 that did not happen

[@Oryx1014]

It’ll probably just be asa, bungie has a habit of killing off characters no one cares about and then acting like said character was everyone’s favorite and overplays it.

[@Jimmy_ZAX]

Just like the blond girl that I dont even remember her name

[@JM1992]

⁠@@Jimmy_ZAXAmanda Holiday, she was cool side character

[@princephillip1481]

BS, Cade was everyone's favorite. 🙄🙄

[@princephillip1481]

​@@JM1992Yes, these people.

[@lax4359]

due to takenking being my favorite DLC im always invested when it comes to something like oryx

[@EternalFount]

I'm thinking that Eris is gone. Not dead. However, she won't be the same when we see her again. She probably won't be able to enjoy lunch with Drifter ever again. It probably has something to do with the [REDACTED] cosmic event we can see just outside of the Dreadnought.

[@dereklednicky8590]

I don't see Eris dying here. She's a destination vendor. If they were to kill her off, then that would mean vaulting the moon.

[@ADAM2ME]

We learn from the Xol that Worm Gods are like Ahankara death is not a finality," Death is a road, death is metamorphosis." So maybe the Echo is after effecting Akka. Akka was the Worm God of Secrets, and Oryx only learned the ability to Take after he killed Akka Yeah i know he spoke with the Deep and learned the knowledge, but seems like it would be an important secret, that a worn might of known about. This could explain the strong Taken presents. Im hoping the Oryx in the key art isn't the real Oryx but just another Echo/Shade of Oryx. thats being controlled by Akka, as a screw you for killing me and turning me into you ship. Bungie already killed one ship they cant kill another.

[@jondale5183]

Ah, you’ve got dire taken. It’s like regular taken… only dire…

[@soraxstacy1477]

We have shadow cabal! They're like regular cabal, but this time their evil-er

[@timseverson2279]

If Eris dies for real I’m out.

[@Vextral4653]

You notice how the taken look different this time around? I swear to god they look double taken. Not sure if that makes sense. But their taken look is like more. In the splash are even the dread guy looked taken

[@priteshkaria9878]

Asah has been claimed by xivu and shes using her to recreate her throne world. We'll then use the Dreadnaught to go back to fundament to track down the remaining worm gods to find a way to deal with her

[@TheBlueed]

Nooooooo!!!

[@trentcarter1507]

Drifter could be talking about Oren the guardian who became the emissary of the nine she fits the description of a (functionally) dead women drifter knows

[@Spade_FoxDerg]

Wait I just realized, how is Orix back? didn't we make him into a weapon just like we did his son? (The touch of malice)

[@umbratilicious15]

no, we did not, we killed him, but we did not turn him into a weapon (that's a stupid meme anyhow)

[@DragonBornHero]

What exactly is the connection between Eris and Drifter? They’re old fireteam members yes but it seems so much like they are or were more like lovers at some point. Is there lore explaining something I’m missing?

[@grands3ntin3l7]

This just screams eldritch horror

[@tiktikboom2371]

Maybe Eris dies or more likly its sloans new fish friend.

[@RavenBeardenStudios]

Is it me or does the subjugator in the cover art for heresy look a bit taken?

[@demte84]

Destiny is interesting. The lore is awesome and fascinating, but the in-game experience and delivery would always fall flat for me. (not to mention important story beats disappearing after each season or vaulted). But I would love to see some big plot twist that we don't expect. Kill a major character, and corrupt another turning them evil.

[@yurpcrusher123]

What is Xivu Arath kills Eris somehow and becomes super powerful.

[@umbratilicious15]

NAH, Eris gave up all the power she got remember?

[@Justice_XI]

Hope xivu has it i have 30k eggplants on it
