Since killing them is considered the greatest form of love amongst the Hive, does that not mean we are giving the Hive the wrong impression since we are loving them so hard and pumping them full of bullets? XD

[@artoriaselucidor2763]

[@snek4prez497]

I loved this video from you byf, but I I've got one thing to say. It's that wether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the cabal on mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus T'aurc. From what we can gather he commands the siege dancers from an imperial land tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defences, take this beast out and break their grip on Freehold

[@tahjarch]

[@aurorablade5450]

He turned himself into a gun, funniest shit I've ever seen

[@rowplatts]

So the reason Xol went down so easily in the mission is because he wanted us to kill him, allowing him to fulfill the full potential of the Sword Logic? Or was he as surprised by this revelation as we are? And is this the final stage of the Sword Logic? Can a greater stage of perfection be achieved, and if so, then through what?

[@Sicdirewolf]

I feel as though we’re slowly achieving some grand goal for the hive; both Xol and Oryx ended up the same way and both want us to do the same thing

[@bspoon2529]

Arkeice Ringgold yeah i agree tbh it’s trending that calus the nine and the hive are getting us ready for something

[@Ali-bd6kb]

rowplatts a greater stage would be instead of being wielded by your conqueror, you become your conqueror So when we kill xol he turned to the whisper and now we wield him, but what if when we kill xol then xols essence takes over and turns into us This would mean that under any condition xol is the final shape. Still though I don’t know what is better, being part of the sword logic itself or being its strongest wielder

[@Jonesin2386]

take it easy there Toland

[@Resmarax]

"A weapon so great, that the fabric of reality itself will tremble at its judgement", until the almighty Bungie devs decide to nerf it into useless oblivion.

[@TheMagiKa3213]

Luke Smith whispered the Anthem Anatheme, the temptation to dominate the objective universe with the subjective will. It said, I shall be an engine to make your desire hegemon over your conditions. It said, TIME TO NERF THIS BAD BOY INTO OBLIVION. This was its worship. Aiat.

[@GenMVeers]

Awe-inspiring video, as always -- actually, one of the *very* best! Still, Destiny's biggest letdown has been -- and probably always will be -- Bungie's insistence on that "the average gamer is too dumb for this deep stuff and doesn't care about it anyway, wants to just shoot things" (I have friends who have actually said this, except for the part about being stupid). In tucking the lore to the side and letting Loremasters like *My* *name* *is* *Byf* deliver the meaty stuff while Bungo shoves players into endless repeat grind of ultimately hollow Activities, the *promised* Star Wars/LotR-like potential of Destiny is wasted. Players will never remember shiver-inducing drama that would go into history books as some of finest *interactive* *story-telling* in gaming history ever, only some temporary adrenaline rush. That is truly tragic.

[@GenMVeers]

[@Retrophoenix-]

What I love about this weapon is that since it acts like black hammer where it doesn't refill the magazine from reserves it kind of compliments the hives need to feed since xol lives on in the whisper he wants us to feed him by killing with the gun as we kill he feeds and he doesn't want it to stop so when we land three headshots he will place three more rounds so we can keep feeding him

Have nokris be the final boss and in his final moments he revives oryx, oryx is the surprise final boss and we don't end up killing him. He escapes and is fully revived

[@shinobi-zensei]

How about this... Nokris would tell you that all his relatives are dicks. So, a raid where Nokris is the final boss and he revives Crota, Oryx and the sisters in different stages through out the fight. You know, use them like little bitches.

[@WhiteWolf4x]

Shooting Xol with Whisper. "Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself" - reload "stop hitting yourself ---"

[@MortalSyn]

"Death is a road." Man if this didn't immediately make me think of the OST for 'The Fountain' by Clint Mansell. There is a track called "Death is the Road to Awe" and I've always strongly associate it (and the soundtrack as a whole) with the Hive. The movie is about accepting death as a part of nature - finding the beauty and majesty in being part of something larger than yourself. In death you will live forever. The whole tone of the music is reverant and absolutely gorgeous but there is a distinct ominous note - its haunting. I imagine it's how the Hive view their morbid task, they see it as a good thing - beautiful and wondrous, the one Truth of the universe. Anyway, the Hive are my favorite enemy faction and this soundtrack and the message in this movie are a perfect fit for them. The more people that know about it the better :)

I love that you complete the mission with 10 seconds left! And then it goes right in the the 10 second mission end countdown. Such good timing.

[@Forcer69]

If Oryx was alive in the ToM does that mean Ghaul killed him, because it never left my vault?

[@seris3382]

SirCreepsAlott Oryx did die in his throne world in the raid. He planned that if he ever was defeated, his foe (us) would seek out a weapon to sustain him. The ToM is a sliver of his soul. So I think if it did perish in the invasion he'd be snuffed out

[@overhail5081]

well based on what we now know, it might not be destroyed so to speak, perhaps transformed, waiting to be reforged again into something even more perfect, like a taken version like what we see here with the hammer/spindle/whisper

[@michaelarreola4201]

If the vault is like a bank vault, then it was probably destroyed with all the others unless then there's a Cabal centurion running around with it. If the vault is like a giant jar of pickle juice holding the quantum particles of your gear, then it was smashed and the pickle juice splashed all over, dripping down the side of the tower and only a talented pickleman sorcerer of Savathun could sort it out. Or Master Rahul craving a sandwich.

I highly doubt this, but with the VOG portal in this mission it might be possible we see a vog remaster, or at least get to refight atheon or the Templar but instead they are taken. How amazing would that be. This could be like a mini raid lair maybe add one or two mechanics and they don't have to add all of the encounters back.

[@BrobatGaming]

So Xol is now the Whisper of the Worm, just as Oryx became the Touch of Malice, except more sentient and in control, but what happened to Nokris? Is he back in the Ascendant Realm? I would assume so.

[@martinconway8174]

we didnt go to the acsendant realm to kill him, so he should have been sent back there

[@Auldus]

Xol doesnt have an ascendant realm because he rejected the sword logic and bastardized it to create a new order among the hive pantheon. And eventually lead his undead army to destroy Oryx and his siblings. That is why Oryx cast him out and removed every mention of him from the dreadnought. Every worm god but Xol rejected him for his radical ideology that power can be found anywhere else but from sword logic.

[@martinconway8174]

Yeah, but i was talking about Nokris, not Xol

Keep up the good work, Lore Master. ...(I also don’t have whisper of the worm...feelsbadman)

[@ivegonefishing482]

Byf, can you clear up a point of confusion I have with the hive lore? The hive for the most part look down on necromancy, but what about when Oryx brought back his two sisters back from their final deaths? Isn't that a form of necromancy? By what power where the sisters revived if not by some form of necromancy?

[@Auldus]

Ivegonefishing Oryx revived them not with necromancy. He abided by sword logic to bring them back. He revived his sisters by tricking, overpowering, and extinguishing an entire race to bring them back. He layed the foundation for why the hive worship death as a concept. As a means to best another and assert superiority. By his sisters willingly giving their lives to empower Oryx to do such a thing is proof that they themselves earned the right to exist.

[@calebolds9609]

Wasn't Akka's body used to make the dreadnought? Would that be the same as Xol becoming a rifle?

[@HM4Hill]

Yes and no. Akka is dead for good and oryx was just using his corpse as a makeshift ascendant realm. Xol managed to come back and turn into an entity that could effectively feed off of the death the worms love so much

[@DragonDoFogo]

By the Sword Logic, Xol found the perfect host. One that will endure whatever test the Deep will lay. By becoming its tool, Xol will feed greatly and grow stronger. Every kill, in the name of Xol.

[@merlin4392]

Hey byf, got a question for you; if Xol and the other worm gods have been proven to be invertebrate, what will happen to the video book of sorrow as the worm gods their are Ahamkara. I myself now believe them to be worm-like and Yuul merely lies to the universe to appear differently, an irony granted by him being the 'honest' worm.

[@warlockceo1549]

The Worm Gods are not Ahamkara. First the Ahamkara may not look like the worms at all. That is only noted from the D1 concept art. Second, the Worm Gods are not able to grant wishes. Akka granted Oryx HIS OWN power through death. The Worm Gods gave the Hive their worms as to make the Hive stronger and give the worms something to feed upon, to grow. Xol already had the power of Necromancy and gifted that to Nokris. The Ahamkara on the other hand were able to grant wishes to people but the wish would only destroy the wisher in eventuality. Does that answer everything before you spoke about Yuul?

[@merlin4392]

The Dark Souls it was more a question aimed towards byf as he is the creator of the book of sorrow videos, not the source material. But yes it's exactly what I meant, they were never dragons in the first place only our perception of them and now that we see them we realise they are worm-like.

[@TerrariaGolem]
