Best Calus lore: According to the wiki, at some point in time he called drifter peasant man.

On a normal visit to the Leviathan he would traverse his Tribute Hall, or perhaps plunge into the Menagerie, but today, Savos Uthrien had a different target. He walked past the Colossi without so much as a glance, floating beyond stairs and through golden doors, past gardens and pleasure rooms, none stopped him for he had a unique audience with an emperor. He approached Emperor Calus’ doppelganger with a respectful bow of the head and a close eye on every shadow for he never knew whether those shadows had Shadows of their own. It was only the two of them. Calus’ machine watched the Awoken with indecipherable eyes, for as much as he found the Cabal emperor to wastefully extravagant, he was cleverer than most of Savos’ average foes as he did not meet him face-to-face. Only a certain Snake or Spider may match the emperor before him in subtlety. Savos waited for the machine to speak. “So, my friend, what brings you today? I am flattered that you would speak with me when those gaudy things float so close to home.” It chuckled, making light of the Dark that Savos had seen with his own eyes. Though Calus too had seen it, had he not? “I come with two questions. If you would be willing?” “Hahaha, yes, you warlocks are always so inquisitive. It is not normal for me to allow these audiences without first a trial, but I have allowed it due to my own curiosity. So I shall sate your desire for knowledge, if you will then sate mine.” He was hesitant to freely give knowledge to this machine but he had little choice. “Very well.” “I first ask you, Emperor, if you have seen the Darkness’ face, then what can you tell me of its nature?” Calus’ machine made a face as if he were disappointed in the question. “Hmm, if that is what you desire to know then why not seek out the peasant man? Surely he knows. You ask me something that you could find elsewhere. So I ask you in turn, why did you seek me out?” “If I am being perfectly honest, you are the only one I believed was liable to give me an answer. At least one I could trust.” It laughed. “So you trust me then? I did not take you for the trusting sort.” “I am not, not generally. But you and I have shared many common enemies. Ghaul, the Red Legion, now the Darkness threatens us all. Though you have accepted your fate, we Guardians are a little more stubborn, and we wish to live. When surrounded by foes on all sides, we could use some friends. Even if other Guardians deny it.” “This brings me to my second question, Calus,” Arc sparked in Savos’ body as he warped upward to stand directly before Calus, he could feel eyes trained onto him. “Are you friend or foe?” There was silence for a moment, then Calus released a great bellowing laugh that echoed in the halls of the Leviathan. “To you? I am always a friend. Never doubt that, Guardian.” Calus pat Savos on the shoulder. “You amuse me, but now that I have answered a second question you must answer another of mine.” Savos saw something in Calus’ eyes. Something…past the machine’s empty gaze, something, or someone, powerful. “What would you be willing to offer to defeat your foe?” Savos opened his mouth to answer. ..

I have a theory on how the vaulting of the Leviathan mixes in with the story: Pyramids wanted to go and do their thing with Nessus, but accidentally gets sucked up by the Leviathan, sending it to the engine. This causes the Pyramid to not be exactly happy with the situation, initiating a self-destruct, blowing up the Leviathan. If this theory could be true, I’d like to see a crashed leviathan in pieces as a destination on another planet in an upcoming DLC

The Cabal: [have a Senate] Palpatine: Allow me to introduce myself...

[@JJMomoida]

Long read ahead. Apologies. I feel like the Leviathan is emblematic of the overall feeling I've had towards Destiny ever since I started playing back in vanilla D1. I am talking about the feeling of potential. In this particular case, potential for the Leviathan, its story, as well as the activities on it. I was excited right off the bat with its premise. We were lured to this ship with promises of "strength" and we were made to undergo a variety of trials and challenges not unlike the type you would see in a game show. This was already interesting. When you look back at prior raids in Destiny history, most of them have very clear-cut "storm this place and [insert objective here]." While the Leviathan did have an objective, its whole narrative backbone was the idea that there was something mysterious here... and you would be coming back in the future to find out more. The next time we went back to the Leviathan was to unclog some giant-ass vex. The time after that, it was to mop up some Red Legion remnants. The time after THAT, it was to deal with some Savathun-addled cabal. It was... not interesting. These, to me, appeared to be just... random things that happened to take place on the Leviathan but did not really offer much in terms of advancing its narrative. See, I didn't give a flying fuck about the raid not being "in-theme" with the DLC. I wasn't going to be one of those idiots who whined about the raid not being on Mercury or more heavily vex-themed just cause that's what the DLC was about. I just wanted MORE on the Leviathan story. As for Calus, I lost interest in him as time went on. Part of what made his character intriguing to me was that 1) we've yet to see the real deal (to my knowledge), and 2) I was very curious as to what he saw the edge of the universe. Was it really the darkness? If not, what was it? It made my mind race with ideas... But now that we have pyramids at our doorstep, I... kinda don't care about what he saw? The forces that are interacting with us have been FAR more interesting than some jovial cabal who likes to live large. I feel that, although the raid lairs and the Crown of Sorrow raid didn't contribute much to the overall Leviathan narrative, they at least let us explore the ship's innards more, which I certainly appreciated. Shout-out to the Crown of Sorrow raid taking place in some dirty-ass, abandoned part of the ship. Mechanically, the raids were alright. I had absolutely no problem with there being only one boss in the base Leviathan raid although at this point I was really starting to get sick of the "stand on a panel and shoot at shit" design. The twist with the Calus robot there at the end was pretty neat, and of course, going down further to see all those other robots made me wonder about the future of this raid's story. As for Eater of Worlds... well, didn't much care for the jumping puzzle, but I DID enjoy being shot out of a cannon and fighting a giant vex while wielding vex heads. Spire of Stars could fuck right off. That is one I can never bring myself to enjoy and the less I say about it, the better. Overall, I feel like the Leviathan could have been so much more. Prior to Curse of Osiris' release, I had thought that the raid lairs would build upon its story the way FFXIV builds upon its story with each raid tier. For anyone who doesn't know, FFXIV has a series of quests: you have your main story quest, your 8-man-raid quests, your 24-man-raid quests, your trials-quests, etc... Each of these quests tell a story. The Binding Coil of Bahamut, for example, was FFXIV's first 8-man raid and the one most apt to compare to the Leviathan. The Binding Coil of Bahamut is divided into three tiers, and each of those tiers advanced the story of "what the hell happened to Bahamut? What is the truth?" It genuinely felt like you were exploring a place in search of answers, and I believe it had a satisfying conclusion. I figured something LIKE that would happen with the Leviathan. Of course, with the way Bungie works, I didn't expect a solid resolution to the Leviathan story... but I also expected... Idk, *fucking something*, you know?

[@TheZamaron]

Hey Byf, I think you should start a series where you go over armor, weapons, and other stuff with lore tabs and if their connected, narrate them out like a mini lorebook, or if they have present day events that tie together like lore for holiday gear. I can then throw them into the playlist project I’m working on to organize the lore and story material for new players joining in during Beyond Light and later on. Really sucks their vaulting the first 3 D2 campaigns, we need to catalogue everything for new players to easily digest the story we have been experiencing, otherwise I fear Destiny may just seem like just another random game to new players. I want to foster more lore fans, but that can’t easily happen if we don’t give them a mostly solid story to follow.

I completed this raid yesterday it was my first raid that I had completed.

[@Ellventures]

3 years since this raid Byf, making me older then i already am

[@chakatsnowfire888]

awesome video are you going to do one for the "Scourge of the Past" that was my fave from the black armory

[@zachstokes9664]

Sitting here in a thunder and lightning storm, is really adding to this video haha

[@TheOneAndTrueHead]

Calus is the most interesting character in the game imo. I really really like him.

[@DarkCyberUK]

I'm lost within the first 30 seconds, it was 3 years ago this raid launched, not 4 Or has the 'rona taken a year from us

[@Robert-xu3xh]

Thank you for this series as I am not going to be able to play all the vaulted raids

[@unleashedhero2225]

Leviathan, Eater of Worlds, and Spire of stars could all just be encounters in another menagerie-style event. I understand that the raid layers are small (I enjoy EoW), but leviathan specifically is just menagerie before menagerie.

[@MathersMahmood]

Epic as always sir

[@andreslozano1634]

sorry if it has already been done i i just couldn't find it but can you make a new vid on the garden of salvation raid lore (the one in the armor description) since, at the time the first video was made there was no lore tab on those but has since been updated to include it.

[@keybladejoshua4721]

Calus' story is by far my favorite! Is Calus on our side? Or is his gifts to us a front for him to use us to his gain? I love it!!! I hate that he'll be going away for awhile but I will gladly accept his return!

[@bimby576]

We love teacher byf

[@KyberNexus42]

What where the guns you were using at 14:02? The pulse rifle and grenade launcher.

[@Awoken_Remmuz]

The pulse rifle is Chattering Bone from the last wish raid and the grenade launcher is Wendigo, one of the vanguard ritual weapons.

[@dontask5089]

Cabal: can create perfect warriors Perfect warrior: 10:34 get deleted in 4 seceonds

[@TuxidoAxe1604]

So...I know this isn't a video about Beyond Light but I recently rewatched the Lumina lore video, do you think that we might end up being hunted by Shin Malphur after receiving Stasis powers?

[@At0micPunk90]

The only raid I ever beat in Destiny 2. Never got to do the others before I eventually dropped out of the game entirely. I can't even remember the last time I played it.

[@Jabberjaaw]

2017 was 3 years ago... not 4 years ago Amazing vid always Byf Also, i didnt know you covered Dishonored also :D

[@rayzakedits314]

Byf's version of leviathan raid guide

[@gunkid6368]

this is art

[@SpookypupOmen]

My favorite raid.... I'll miss her dearly

[@IPpainting]

Holy shit i was just thinking about Leviathan lore from you an hour ago and now this

[@hellboy1000000000000]

I've always wondered if Calus has become something similar to Oryx and his sisters. Not in the way he has a worm but obviously has evolved beyond a normal Cabal. It will also be interesting to see how he reacts to the arrival of the Pyramids. It would be crazy if he reveals they are not what he encountered out in space.
