Destiny 2: The Final Shape - The Witness Kills Zavala's Ghost Cutscene & Targe's Last Stand

[@hydraman246]

Targe stared into the abyss… and the abyss blinked first 😎

[@BryonYoungblood]

Yep. And the Witness showed it _WAS_ afraid. Just like it accused Calus of in Lightfall, yet it was deep down more scared because of its desires to control a universe it can't change, and change what it can't control, but failing to see how life is what we make it.

[@phantomonthespectrum3588]

Targe is one tough son of a bitch I respect his bravery

[@BryonYoungblood]

He was also very loyal, since that courage and loyalty saved Zavala from a terrible fate.

[@DiggyDwarf-wc2qj]

Targe’s final words were; “Yes, you are.”

[@LightbearerVX]

Damn straight Stay vigilant Guardian🎖

[@RecklessCrayola]

He really got countered by witness going "nu uh"

[@netherlordgaming995]

​@@RecklessCrayolakinda the other way T: your scared W: nuh uh *crush* T: Yuh huh W: *kills Targe*

[@BryonYoungblood]

And Targe nailed it-- that's the only reason the Witness killed him. He nailed it perfectly that the main soul guiding the Witness was afraid, trying to, as Ikora said, change what it couldn't control and control what it couldn't change with the nature of the Final Shape, just as I sensed fear from it with how it spoke to Calus after the Radial Mast was destroyed in Lightfall. It's why the Witness wishes to just calcify and effectively end life-- it is afraid of the fact it can't control life, and doesn't understand we give it purpose, nothing else.

[@Buoyant_Bear]

​@@BryonYoungbloodAs somebody that used to panic about not knowing things or being able to control them (therapy helped fix that), trust me. Targe was right. It is fear

[@adagium__]

Targe is a badass the only one to call the witness on its bluff

[@BryonYoungblood]

He was. And his sacrifice saved Zavala from becoming a part of the Witness, and Zavala learning the means needed fo defeat the Witness thanks to what the Dissenters told him with "What was made can be unmade".

[@CJWII]

This scene went hard for so many reasons but seeing a small being of light stand up to a world ending monstrosity gave me chills bc other Ghosts shit themselves just hearing the Witness talk. Targe: the realest Ghost to ever do it.

[@BryonYoungblood]

And his courage saved Zavala from being consumed by the Witness and becoming a part of it, which has gotta be a fate worse than death!

cue Zavala using the darkness to make up for his lack of light, becoming the only stasis titan main XD

[@BryonYoungblood]

It also shows how Zavala had grown to be willing to use Statis since he was worried about Guardians using it initially. And how he wants to keep fighting just as Targe did.

[@thorveim1174]

@@BryonYoungblood Yup. Really shows he moved past his initial bas, and is willing to use the darkness if it means he can keep on fighting (his first concern when he lost his light is that he was now useless) fun fact, its also why I really gravitated towards darkness even with just stasis for the exact same reason: a guardian wielding it is still a force to be reckoned with even with their ghost destroyed should it happen.

[@BryonYoungblood]

@@thorveim1174 Agreed. It's also hesitation and fear that made Zavala be unwilling to use Statis at first, not just because of the idea of using the same power of Darkness the Witness used. And I'm sure Targe would understand. Plus we've seen Eris using Statis, and I'm sure Osiris knows how to use Strand and both of them lost their Ghosts and their connection to the Light, similarly to Zavala.

[@Darwin-sd1gt]

@@BryonYoungblood even if you aren't a Lightbearer, you can still use Darkness, as demonstrated by Elsie. of course, without a Ghost, if you die, you don't come back.

[@alexfromproduce1521]

3:55 that person whispering was giving him clues on how to hurt the witness

[@iammicrochip156]

Obviously. The Vanguard talks about it

[@Buoyant_Bear]

The Witness was created as a mass ritual self-sacrifice of a billion people. They all had the same overall mindset, but different purposes/goals. The First Knife (the sect that cast out the dissenters and trapped them in statues) were fully on board w/ "The Final Shape", and the dissenters were not, they tried to sabotage The Witness (which they were a part of unwillingly at that point) from within, and they succeeded. Any great entity or corporation can be destroyed by one thing, the people who work in it.

[@Osyrous]

"What was made can be unmade" yeeeee

[@MagnumOlly]

The absolute chad

[@BryonYoungblood]

@@Buoyant_BearAnd the First Knife would cast some Dissenters out into the veiled statues we’ve seen- like Clarity Control in the Deep Stone Crypt, the one in the Pyramid ship on Europa and also the one in the Black Garden at the end of Garden of Salvation, with their trying to communicate with us, to warn us about the Witness I’m sure even while still trapped in Darkness.

[@Jaggedfire]

Keith David does a pretty good job voicing Zavala

[@legendxcarisso]

Nah, he really didn't. When Zavala talks stoic? Sure. But when action comes.... there's just no replicating Lance Reddick. Sorry, but every time Zavala spoke, I mentally shut Keith David out and replaced his lines with Lance's voice. Keith did a really half-ass job. I'm just hearing Saint's Row 4 Keith. Thel Vadam.... I'm just not hearing Zavala. It's just not the same. Not at all. Maybe he'll get better? Mara Junot did, but there's just no replacing Gina Torres either.

[@blankforever5399]

If the collector’s edition lore is to be believed, it’s likely that everyone who joined to make the Witness did so voluntarily, or they risked being killed, since the Witness is made of a certain faction of precursors. I believe some of the think they’ve gone too far, rather than being forced to join in the first place.

[@tormentedstar8480]

[@BryonYoungblood]

The Witness couldn’t see it but it was obvious to me as it was to Targe that the main soul in control was afraid- the fear of fear, not having control, not being “special”, not seeing life is what we make of it, not anything else, etc.

I like to think zavala was about to be consumed, a final death. What's more useless, a ghostless guardian, or a guardianless ghost. Very few instances of finding a 2nd guardian.

[@Astrapionte]

That "What do you see?" was chilling...

[@ERS1713]

frrrr

[@BryonYoungblood]

It was, and then we got the powerful delivery of Targe going "I see fear!", especially when he realized the Witness is afraid after Ikora pointed out that it seeks to control what it can't change, and change what it can't control, such as imprisoning its own people in the veiled statues when they chose to oppose the Final Shape, or the Final Shape itself meant to calcify and end all life effectively, while the Witness "chooses" who gets to do what. Brett Dalton was on fire with his delivery as the Witness in the Final Shape DLC for sure!

[@TheIcuys1600]

Agreed, as it was almost in an amused tone which we never really saw. Added to the creepiness factor

[@BryonYoungblood]

The Precursors tried so desperately to force purpose from the Traveler but could never find thst purpose inside themselves.

[@natekarpowicz7564]

I really thought Zavala would somehow lose his voice and Targe would translate through sign language and Tage was voiced by Keith David who after being murdered by the witness would pass on his voice to Zavala. Zavala might learn sign language from Targe when the traveler gave the ghosts knowledge and taught Zavala and Safiah because Hakim could have been deaf.
