Destiny 2 Lore - So Byf... What is Vex Milk? (It's not actually Milk)

[@jays6549]

No one's gonna talk about how he had unlimited super the whole time?

[@johngancarcik5682]

We were focused on trying not to make sexual innuendos lol

[@freedeoxide]

NAH

[@bige9856]

It was a big back then

[@jaydenamora8358]

UNLIMITED POWER!!!

[@angeluss28]

In the beta anything was possible. 🤣🤣

[@cryw1092]

Even if Vex Radiolarian fluid wasn't trying to convert you, the electrical current coursing through it would probably give you a nasty shock.

[@acgearsandarms1343]

cry w Yep.

[@jacobkern2060]

Or the pH level of the fluid eating away at your armor.

[@soldat_von_wien]

#vexnut

[@lonewolfplays8084]

Meanwhile, riskrunner users.

[@mitchellwright7477]

If it was milk could we have vex cheese? Or vex butter?

[@phantom117b4]

vex cream?

[@samsmith4835]

Mitchell Wright ice cream

[@Willbatross_]

The first cheese in D2, the one with the riskrunner infinite ammo. Was made of milk. Oh Destiny

[@carloseduardomejia8455]

I want me some vexcheese

[@jamesmoore10]

I’d try it.

[@SnackMuay]

Never touch a living vex? I don't think titans have listened.

[@JadedMarigold]

TheWizardOfOsborne nor warlocks and hunters

[@amscarpi]

TheWizardOfOsborne um you do realize that gauntlets are a thing right and that we wear them ALL THE TIME when fighting

[@56bturn]

Titans don't have tiny arms. They have very large Pauldrons that give the illusion of short arms.

[@FlipJanson]

Gaden Kerensky The melee range of the titan strongly disagrees. Those poor, poor T-rex arms, always missing the melee ):

[@KrAceZ]

I absolute love how they didn't nerf the range on the warlocks melee (at least in the beta lol)

[@HaloCanon]

This was a nice video. Short and sweet, a great way to, as you said, fill the void between larger videos. I definitely support more :)

[@TheElviz86]

HEY YOU, GO BACK AND DO MORE HALO CANON! RISE OF ATRIOX 2 IS ON ITS WAY!

[@prog1853]

Halo Canon my boi!

[@jasonsekiguchi458]

*insert comment about filling voids with Vex Mind Fluid*

[@VivianGraceOfTheBlueAjah]

I'd honestly love to see more of these shorter lore videos. They're easier to digest, and don't require me to focus on it for more than a few minutes. Which is nice.

[@dalesimmons6616]

Thanks for the info. It really helps put things into an overall picture. I'd never figure this out from Grimoire cards on my own and without your lore videos these things would simply remain an unexplained oddity that some developer threw in for effect. Your lore videos are great.

[@TeamGreenBurrito]

That's a whole lotta bone hurting juice.

[@Hammer_Of_Olympia]

I want to know how they made their combat frames. Smart milk still doesn't seem capable of somehow creating robotic suits

[@mattfreg2771]

RG 12 i think that once they were organic and they built their exoskeletons and transferred their minds into the fluid

[@tristampratorius4709]

The Vex combat frames (not just the radiolaria) are implied to be biological. The Hezen Lords armor set refers to the metal containing ''vex cells'' or being infectious. Asher Mir also has his arm converted into Vex metal upon contact with Vex cells, which is the clearest evidence that Vex frames are living. Vex combat frames are grown somehow. It is similar to how real life radiolaria grow silica skeletons, Vex radiolaria grow metal skeletons (i.e combat frames)

[@dashiellgillingham4579]

Think of the protozoa that comprise that 'fluid' as each being an individual sapient organism (they're not, but imagine it for demonstrative purposes). If you can achieve sapience at that size you can build tools at that size. You can build battleships, and drive them around with hundreds of thousands of your kind acting collectively as the crew. You can build exponentially vaster things, that require tens of billions of your species as crew, but can be used to meaningfully interact with and study things of similarly enormous size, like humans. That's the Vex.

[@danielarmstrong4941]

The metal that goes into the frames is actually created as a result of controlled nuclear fusion by the forge star 2082 Volantis.

[@coloneljihad7874]

Definitely do more of these, videos like this that are about smaller details of the world of destiny would be really interesting between the bigger lore videos

[@PvPLegends]

GOT VEX MILK?

[@piplup2009]

hungry for apples?

[@leekshooter4825]

piplup2009 oh no

[@bobmcfishkens6443]

PvP Legends time to make a T-shirt!!

[@Volcannon]

A Vex Minotaur holding up a glass and asking GOT MILK?

[@jarh5281]

Found this extremely interesting, I vaguely knew why the fluid was, but this video was very helpful in understanding it further. Well done Byf!

[@Psyantic1196]

Now if someone can mod a giant Oreo so we can sail across the vex milk.....

[@eosofspades_357]

this is one of those comments where you see it, scroll past, then realize "wait, that's hilarious" and have to scroll back up to like it

[@michaelwoffindin]

This was great! I love the MoreConsole faces, and the "Kabr Grylls" line killed me.

[@FaytVanguard]

Vex make a comet where they store all their "milk"................Seems right.......Hopefully the comet does not "Crash" into a planet.

[@That_One_Sunshine_Knight]

Kinda sounds like what happens in the Metroid Prime series. Planet Phaaze. Leviathan seeds (sentient meteors, in a way) Go from plant Phaaze to a different planet infecting it with Phazon, destroying the environment, and creating more Phazon. Except the vex seem to be doing a better job at this strategy than Phaaze. Spoiler: Metroid Prime 3, Phaaze, blows up. Isay we go to the True Vex homeworld! AND BLOW IT UP!

[@keronstewart9787]

TheMetroidMadness that wont happen until destiny 3

[@Kidsnextdorks]

#Nukkake

[@whatthefeebas2505]

ZCurse100 I had to like that

[@jds07j]

Hey Byf, I loved this shorter lore bite (although I just really like Destiny lore)! This is a great way to introduce people to the lore in a more accessible format than a longer form video.

[@anthonycolasanto5599]

How did you have an unlimited amount of your Supercharge?

[@jonathaneliasvanderbeek4988]

ELEMENTAL DELTA it is a glitch available in the beta

[@timmy3822]

Little lore snippets are great as I don't usually sit through the really long ones. Enjoyed this :).

[@miggymiggyproductions8262]

Great idea for a show love it

[@brain-inafryingpan]

I’m always interested in Destiny lore content, whether it’s a big or small bit of it. So please do make more videos like this.

[@agentjtravel_walkthru4205]

Got Radiation ?

[@scrapydo10]

I love the shorter videos. They are much more manageable to watch for my schedule as well. Thanks for all your hard work and great videos. It was a great joy to meet you at GC this year.

[@Popeless]

Yeah I have a question how comes no one sees the massive cabal fleet heading towards Earth from the solar system surely at least on person should of seen it.

[@JosephHead]

The ace of trades The Reef cut off communication so they weren't going to get involved in another war, comm links were becoming spotty and satellites were destroyed. It was a well thought out ambush, unlike most of the enemies in the game that believe announcing their arrival is smart and believe it will strike fear into us while it actually gives us the heads up. Ghaul is probably one of the more intelligent of the enemies we've faced and that's saying something about the Cabal.

[@Popeless]

Danny Dorian I'm not talking about the reef I'm talking about other guardians that are on other planets in the solar system that could of seen this massive fleet before it arrived at Earth or just guardians flying their ships that cabal fleet would of stuck out in the midst of space

[@randomhuman6235]

They probably got blown up by the fleet

[@samsmith4835]

The ace of trades because the servers were down for an update so no guardians were around to see it. Our Guardians come from an awoken strip club

[@Popeless]

sam smith again I'm talking about the peeps that were away from home so before they took down the satellite which I assume they did with explosions

[@thatsillyrabbit]

I really like this video design type. Taking a simple question that might be easily missed and addressing it in the new video. Hope to see more of these for Destiny 2. I still enjoy your deep dives into lore. But with Grimorie gone in D2, these could definitely help with content.

[@s.j.bvlogs3847]

Aye vex milk water falls!

[@danieldelgado8960]

Dude im diggin this smaller lore chunk style!! You can still deliver a healthy dose of lore and knowledge in a meaningful and exciting way.

[@Kidsnextdorks]

What is the cabal vegemite that blast out of their helmets?

[@elizakleinman1332]

Probably alien brain matter.

[@elizakleinman1332]

ACtually, that stuff is rocket gel or something.

[@frosty6032]

ZCurse100 an essential oil that cabal need to survive

[@elizakleinman1332]

Nikas Lundgren My friend told me so; I don't have a source to confirm because I'm too lazy to google it, but I trust him.

[@gabemerritt3139]

ZCurse100 they have a pressurized suit that contains whatever atmosphere they need to survive

[@Gninja15]

I never have too much time to watch your 15 min or longer lore videos, so these short videos are greatly appreciated 👌

[@captainbc52]

So when we hit the Vex in the Juicebox we're really hitting them in the milk box making them explode... Literally shooting Vex in the dick...

[@Sinderance_]

No, it's still just shooting them in the brain.

[@captainbc52]

Xx Raiden xX that's what I said...

[@captainbc52]

sthezhunter what do you think with?

[@kentarded4030]

lol dickheads

[@captainbc52]

kenzon reaper what....?

[@arturam3099]

Thanks! PLEASE do more of these! I love the lore but have a short attention spam, so I can't get through a 20 or 30 minute video. This is perfect, a decent amount of lore that no everybody knows. Keep it up.

[@Lachegga]

0:30 hes talking about sperm Lul captain obvious

[@sirspam5375]

Lachegga thanks for pointing that out to all the 9 year olds

[@BabyAteMeDingo]

I was wondering what he was talking about...dipshit

[@aaronazzcalibur4261]

I thought he was talking about PVA glue

[@jacobp1277]

I like having the short videos. You should continue with these. Its always the little things that immerses one in another world.

[@noblemansrose5511]

Exactly the kind of content I love from lore scholars like yourself! Great work and insightful. P.S *snickers* Vex Milk

[@kambujakronos9883]

to be honest, I really liked this type of video. I loved your quips and smart responses to your own questions. It makes you feel much more personable.

[@Sofuretu]

It's horchata.

[@nicknamenotwitty9065]

Legends say only a few people could drink vex horchata without harming themselves

[@josephminopoli8284]

i think a series on smaller pieces of lore is a great idea, would love to see more

[@zeromech1450]

How did you have unlimited super??

[@sunyavadin]

If more of these means more time for full XPLore episodes, go for it.

[@hoofhartedhd7690]

question : we all know the TOWER will fall on sep 8th ....so dos the speaker know this too???? is that why he left ???

[@saddog6527]

Sept 6*

[@hoofhartedhd7690]

is it thanks sorry for the mistake

[@hoofhartedhd7690]

thanks joe nice one

[@leandrojacobik6019]

we know this ever since Destiny Vanilla on the glass of Vault Grimoire card it tell about the time the tower is lost and the guardian flee. we know destiny 2 history ever since destiny 1 Raid

[@felwinter5528]

I think a mix of both long and short vids would be nice because I have to come back to your vids at times as I can't all ways watch them state away.

[@paragonofhonor9952]

What is this hacking nonsense of permanent super

[@notimetoexplain4213]

pop super then switch primary

[@notjaysday]

Thanks for tying in the Kabir and VoG info, too... Nice for the connections to be highlighted, and the story from grimoire to be brought to light -- for those of us that have not dug into it.

[@Lope_o]

Byf is the best lore-er. Like if you agree

[@thetruebrownie]

This is good, as it's answer a specific question in detail instead of touching many subject lightly. Good work Byf!

[@samberry4026]

Notifications squad!!!

[@goldengoldfish1704]

Sam Berry U watch Crainer?

[@k1mac637]

Love this type of short lore video. Keep it up you really are the one and only person who gets me into lore!!

[@cringus8519]

Well, i can see how cayde would probably drinking this aswell, lol

[@tsrobertson2944]

This was actually one of my favorite videos you have done. I would love more like this!

[@ninjanugget3383]

Haha the more console memes

[@notipit]

more console is a low qualoty youtuber

[@SaucyRamenBoy]

Potaishee so is your spelling

[@MrPiousFlint]

No, he is a beautiful bastard! He makes high-quality videos consistently.

[@Ravenspire1996]

Deadput and you're not? Lol

[@MrPiousFlint]

Don't be jealous, just because he uploads new content frequently and you have uploaded one video in four years, that is no reason to start using vulgarities. If you had a rational argument such as "I don't like Moreconsoles' videos", fair enough that is your opinion. However using swear words like that just makes you look like an idiotic troll seeking attention, and no one wants that right?

[@firenzarfrenzy4985]

I know Byf as the David Attenborough type narrator. Soothing voice, maker of Dynasty. This more relaxed tone of 2017 compared to 2021/22 is actually really nice though. He covers what he needs to and maintains discursive tone. A nice touch for when the topic doesn't need to be thoroughly explained because of how integral it is

[@MFuzzyOGX]

A missed opportunity for Bungie to put lore in game where they instead tried to make a funny joke with Nolan-Bot 2000. Smh, this isn't a good sign imo.

[@jonmkl]

Yes I can see it now: "Oh Guardian! Vex radialoria! The Vex may have been originally aquatic creatures composed of radiolaria cells. The "mind-fluid" inside each of their mind-cores is composed of a milky substance wherein radiolaria cells float; this centralized mind-core may also be a localized receiver for each individual Vex "component" of the Nexus!" (All in 10 seconds while flying through the air)

[@MFuzzyOGX]

How about this: "Did you know that the vex are actually one mind? That white fluid is actually what carries the data between all vex. At least they're using teamwork in their efforts to destroy us." Something like that. It can still be funny and quick, but also informative. It's not hard and you don't have to be super in depth to show the lore. I'm not saying that he has to recite a fucking essay.

[@Awoken_Remmuz]

Classic Rock and MTB to be fair, that's just one aspect of the game, they been making it quite clear it's more the stuff ya do on the main maps, adventures, patrols, story missions etc that's there to feed ya story and lore. Plus one could argue not everything about the game should be about feeding you lore, there should be room to be silly too.

[@MFuzzyOGX]

+Remmuz crimzonlynx Yeah I completely agree. Good point.

[@austin_s1974]

Classic Rock and MTB nah man I can see the ghost saying that in under 5 seconds. Because that's definitely understandable

[@RestAssuredYT]

I really enjoyed this format for a lore video! I laughed and learned some new information. 👍

[@guidtexan]

I like the shorter format. There isn't always time for a longer video. Keep it up!!

[@evangeline1469]

I would definitely enjoy more of these quick lore videos, especially if it means more frequent content.

[@kathysmith5715]

My son and I love this video!!! Specially when you add the face to it. We definitely support you all the way.. Great job.

[@bivabbajracharya5965]

Really love the format. Allows easy digestion of the simpler smaller lore

[@armstars5531]

Really liked this small lore vid..I mean like the major lore vids too just...well the shorter ones are cool !

[@bootstrap3404]

I actually liked this video even more than your normal content. Would absolutely watch again!

[@J-K-A]

Good stuff man. I'd be happy to see 3-4 of these videos for every 1 of the bigger videos. Maybe these as the foot notes to bigger videos kind of thing.

[@aaronwilliams6165]

I love the videos like this easily, you do have some of the best lore videos out here so maybe release the long videos on the weekend.

[@phelixmu4609]

I liked it; smaller chunks of lore may be better suited to certain discrete topics, or better hold the attention of a certain slice of the audience. Also easier to fit watching this into my schedule. Kudos in general, though; always fascinating to watch your stuff, byf. P.s. seeing you was the highlight of my guardian con trip. :)

[@RyokuKuma]

Wow Byf, I really like this format! I'd love to watch more videos like this!

[@averagescruffy258]

I dig the shorter vids a lot more than I though I would. Keep them coming!

[@JimboJason]

I like the format, short and to the point. Maybe do a video on the Fallen Ether and how the Servitors make it and why the Fallen need it, ect...

[@blaizerabin9595]

Best and most efficient lore video I've seen, easy to understand and follow. Keep them coming please!!!

[@wynnreynel]

Loved the vid dude! Really nice, quick lore lesson that was super simple and really fun to learn about!

[@caboose512justinf.9]

All your videos are great, and worth watching Byf. They really help fill in gaps, and give a better understanding to the game all around. Do you have any videos specifically about the speaker? Who is he? How did he obtain that position? Has the traveler EVER spoken to him in any way? Or did he just announce himself as the voice of the traveler?

[@masterblaster8052]

Love the way you inplement more humour in your shorter videos. Keep it up man!

[@Malgorbia]

These are great formats. Easily digestible and when I send them to my friends they don't gawk at the time stamp. Helps guide them into the lore haha.

[@davidmilner1262]

I love the shorter videos like this! Fantastic!

[@jerisj.8971]

That's a great bit of info. It does create a broader concept of the vex. Thanks!

[@synthseeker]

Love it! Keep the lore stories coming Byf!

[@george1aubrey]

I think it's a good idea to he honest. As you yourself said, that way you're not struggling for content and it helps answer any burning questions any of us might have. On that note, I do have a question: what is the "ether" gas that bursts out of the ruptured skull of an Eliksni, and is it related in any way to the pressure fluid from when you pop Cabal in the head?

[@rudye5259]

This video is amazing! I kind of knew what it was already but you explained it much better, thanks. Very fascinating stuff. Now, book of sorrows... when?

[@BlindOwlTEST]

Freaking sweet. Thanks Byf. I, for one, love the lore vids.

[@swarlly]

Short lore vids are dope man. Share with Myelin. Make sure you still do some long ones routinely though.

[@RB3077]

Another great video. Awesome job man. Love it

[@thenames_jinx4126]

Awesome video byf, keep doing these short lore videos!

[@calebolds9609]

I think I like these quick lore ones way better than the long ones (Not counting the MASSIVE projects such as book of sorrows or Iron Lords)

[@Dirtnap-50]

I really enjoy your lore videos and I hope you can go in depth as we go along. Like you always do...

[@iretonlax0306]

"The sun is going down.. Better drink my Vex Mind Fluid....." -Kabr-Grylls

[@normanhornstein6818]

I really enjoyed this! It's a more manageable watch time than the hour long videos.

[@Sebastian-ti9jm]

This is actually amazing!! Keep doing these!!

[@cdv3401]

Yes! Short Sweet and To the Point. You also seemed more light hearted in this discussion. Keep it up!

[@dirtgal]

i personally would love to see more tidbits of info in between bigger videos

[@ntgtv4505]

Love videos like this! Great work! You are the Lore KING!

[@schradester8]

I like this! I prefer brief videos of lore from Destiny as opposed to 20 minute vids.

[@bloodgod4340]

I love your videos so much. They keep my work days a little more interesting. Would you possibly be on Xbox live?

[@airbreath]

Please make more of these videos I really enjoyed it

[@saradavis49]

That was very informative, thank you! I'd love more videos like this.

[@azurearcade342]

Keep making lore videos please. It's better than being clueless in game or reading the old grimoire cards.

[@gambent6853]

That was extremely informative; thanks for the awesome lesson on lore Byf!

[@fizzybitzobacon5747]

I never get tired of hearing this answer. Everything about vex is interesting and deep with how's and why's

[@draknusdesderdus7506]

Yes I like these smaller lore tidbits. There are a lot of small details in destiny that aren't connected to much else, so this would be great.

[@evandenison5310]

I love the new video format!

[@zaow82]

I noticed that there were certain areas that had a tingling noise emanating from them. I thought it was the red bushes but it was actually near to the "milk" on some whitish-greyish surfaces.

[@wimvanheusden]

Love this format!

[@kevenborrero5274]

This was a great video with more info on destiny that i didnt know

[@sonnytheronin8195]

Great video. Feels like classic year 1-2 Byf. Could have been cool to use some of the footage of the milk being infused into the metal bodies of the Vex from that leaked cinematic. I'm sure you've seen the one?

[@FreshSwiss]

love all the lore videos byf short or long
