Destiny 2 OOB: The Orb of Wonders

Now that we've got grapple, it's easier to reach the mysterious King's Fall orb of wonder that radiates red.
I got a request to revisit this place, and given the old Kingsfall video didn't show the flights out to these areas, I figured it was worth redoing. A full thunderdome route would be a bit more complicated though. The Touch of Malice nerf/buff makes it nearly useless for the purposes of midair death, so you're stuck using Fighting Lion or something. At least we know the target is wider...
Anyways, the orb, and a few other landmarks, are a couple in game kilometers away from where you'll IRB out, so I'd definitely recommend a Titan for the final section. It's a long way to grapple fly, and sword is so much faster.
You'll want a fireteam of 3 for this. One to trigger the autorez, one to act as an anchor point so you can swap characters, and one to do the route. After the IRB, everyone else can join, although you want to be careful to avoid starting Totems.
Thanks to The Cube17, Awesome Fox, and PrimeSolus for helping out on this route.

That’s from a cut story arc in D1. It’s called Uritractus, Kidney stone of Oryx.

[@Froggy618157725]

Had me in the first half XD

[@Solus_Destiny]

From the dlc: oryx’s yearly physical

[@Myrzir]

I'd say it's definitely tied to the original version of the super-raid planned for D1, something key to point out here is the specific use of the orange "energy" wrapping around it, due to all early Hive technology using that color before they switched to the teals & greens instead all post story rewrite.

[@yhelloh]

Yup. Its an artifact from d1 called a sootpearl. These oddly beautiful orbs can sometimes be found sunk into the rot and filth of the Dreadnaught.

[@moreuse]

Bungie dev must be very amused when seeing this. Heck, maybe those who know what this is is no longer with bungie

[@Froggy618157725]

I do hope it amused them.

[@liltits1464]

@@Froggy618157725the devs do this on purpose right? They want us to find this stuff fs.

[@Froggy618157725]

That used to be the case in Halo. Not as sure about that these days.

[@yhelloh]

I think its a sootpearl? An artifact from 2015. It reads, "These oddly beautiful orbs can sometimes be found sunk into the rot and filth of the Dreadnaught." and looks identical, just less detail and a tiny bit different in textures but I think the idea is the same?

[@Froggy618157725]

Interesting. I'm hoping someone reaches that spot in D1. Would help narrow it down if we knew it's fully there as well.

[@pokesmot6997]

Once again, and for quite a while now, i have considered these some of the most interesting D2 vids compared to the actual game 😂

[@Schneeeinhorn]

The orange light around it reminds me of the ron planets

[@navidhdg]

Same! just wanted to say that

[@SwoleakhulTheBlind]

That’s probably where they hide the captain that represents oryx’s healthbar 😂

[@Velocity_AU]

Yeah the Orb looks like a damaged Shrine of Oryx from an old D1 mission back in the day, way before Kings Fall, back when Dinklage was our Ghost. We destroyed the shrine due to it being used to communicate to Oryx, and it was either destroyed or teleported, that Orb could very much be the other end of the Shrine, or the same Shrine, intended to be found on the Dreadnaught as an easter egg to that mission?

[@jabenero1389]

This is 100% what it is

[@jabenero1389]

It being from the shrine I mean. Why it's on the Dreadnaught is anyone's guess.

[@AwesomeFox45]

It was fun doing this thanks Froggy!

[@Schalaster]

I remember your Z-climb video, it's great how far we've come with Grapple Also you getting amused at the Amogus never gets old lol

[@Saint14sJockstrap]

Given that the reprised King’s Fall raid was the one released immediately before Root of Nightmares, it’s possible they used the OoB areas in KF as testing grounds for concepts and physics tests for RoN. This orb and the glow effect on it look strikingly like the planets from the Macrocosm encounter in RoN.

[@Solus_Destiny]

The sphere exists in D1

[@Matchboxxxx]

Kind of reminds me of the mcguffin we get at the end of the shadowkeep story. Definitely holds the old art style of the hive from back in D1. Mostly with the colours.

[@term3092]

Missed your vids man, love it

[@Froggy618157725]

Glad you like em. They've been more or less weekly for some time, so you've probably got some backlog to enjoy :)

[@bloko7908]

i LOVE when u find stuff like this

[@surprizeforyou]

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who has to fight in game and with a cat IRL looking fot attention

[@dotdash]

that's really interesting. i wonder if this is the only place in the game this asset is ever used? it must be, considering how outdated it looks, what with the orange light emitting from it and all. nowadays that color is used for darkness stuff, not for the hive. it's almost definitely a leftover from d1 that some mapper or environment artist forgot to remove.

[@Froggy618157725]

Yeah, if it isn't in D1, it's way more confusing. Would love to see a clip of it in game there.

[@vaquri]

These vids are fun, and I think your voice is fun too 😁 Cool orb

[@THE-SE7EN-SINS]

If I had to guess the Orb is a model of Fundament, maybe in the ordinal version of the before Bungie cut it up it was supposed to show some lore

[@Froggy618157725]

Seems unlikely to me. Isn't Fundament a gas giant?

[@THE-SE7EN-SINS]

@@Froggy618157725 maybe after the godwave it wasn't anymore could be the core

[@andrehumeniuk4416]

I was there on the z-climb time. it was fun to juggle 2 titans and a warlock on stasis crystals.

[@HungryTod]

It could have been something like the planet room in RoN. It's pulsating with what looks maybe like that Rhulk power stuff. Idk, i just thought they looked alike.

[@beni1429]

Looks a lot like the nodes you shoot in Ron. However the sphere it self doesn’t look much like the stuff in Ron except for how the big planets spin in explicator… My guess is it was an early creating for the red border symbols to shoot and activate but they ended up going with the hive symbols instead. But they later used them in Ron and then part of the Ron encounters themselves. Would explain the continuity as well.

[@thomaspurol9322]

Only D1 OOB thing I remember that would be relevant to the conversation is MAC cannon outside Oryx’s boss room

[@sublime204]

It's a question machine, and it's working!

[@ziltax8666]

Looks like of like Crota's oversoul but unbroken... just fractured? So Oryx's oversoul?? could be an item we'll see in the future if they want to try and bring him back...

[@BlackCab36]

noiceee some kings fall content

[@Djxyz0]

I explored King's Fall like crazy, I don't remember seeing that orb though, but the skybox was active outside the map so spotting something that far out would be difficult plus there was so many objects floating out that it could just blend alongside it. That place was really massive.

[@Froggy618157725]

Someone in Raidsecrets managed to get close enough to see it. It actually is there! No one has managed to stand on it or anything like that yet though. D1's options for height gain and distance in air are limited... I'd love to see it happen though.

[@HValentine]

​@@Froggy618157725 do you have a link to that post or it's title or anything?? I have been going crazy pouring through youtube to try to find evidence of it existing in D1 since this video dropped

@@Froggy618157725 AWESOME!! Wow that is wild that it is actually out there in d1. Crazy they ported it to D2, they must have had to update the asset at some point, right? Funny they didn't remove it.

the orb does have some resemblance to the oversoul, doesn't it?

What did i do wrong? I can't grapple fly, because when i swap my navigator's the cooldown of grapple point didn't dissapears :(

[@Froggy618157725]

Don't be on the ground when you have the debuff. If the timer is going, you'll need to wait for it.

[@Flyric-qx5lg]

Interesting for sure

[@deltapb]

froggy have you tried using a sword with Nadir Focus for sword flying? timing is different but it feels easier and faster than Eager Edge to me

[@Froggy618157725]

I've tried it a bit. You need to swing close together to get Nadir to proc, and swinging close together is also a big hit for long distance sword flying. Long distance is the main thing I'm interested in. I have found Nadir very useful for staying on the ground resisting pulls, like the pull in the Crota's End 1-2 transition.

[@blazedark_official]

Honestly the ball looks like a prototype darkness planet from root of nightmares

[@DarthDude44.]

What's the secret to swapping navigators? I;ve been trying to swap them in the air and it isn't going well.

[@Froggy618157725]

Are you on console? I just place them in the adjacent slot for PC. Dunno if console would benefit from load outs there. Titan's jump continues going while you're in menu since it's a toggle, so that gives you time to swap.

[@AnakinSkywalkerSG]

This looks like a mini version of the shrine of oryx from d1.

[@DanYami]

I have no idea how you reset the grapple point cooldown I got 2 Navigators but when switching the cooldown is the same

[@Froggy618157725]

If you have the timer, you need to wait for it. If you swap in air, the timer doesn't start, and you lose the debuff immediately.

[@DanYami]

oh it doesn't start when airborne? that is... odd

IIRC, this orb was actually present in D1 Kingsfall (like you theorized). I recall watching a video of someone using hard cheats to no clip fly around OOB years ago- I believe they were doing it to formulate OOB speedrunning strats for D1 Kingsfall but then they got carried away. What purpose did it serve, though? Idk lol
