@D’Angelo That doesn't make sense considering he only recently had any part of light touch him and was killed by us the moment he was rebirthed through light and dark.

What if it wasn’t a piece of Nezarec that was on The Witness’ Pyramid? What if it was his scythe? As weird as that sounds, we’ve been reminded over and over that Darkness is all about consciousness, memories, and emotion. I’d wager that a weapon wielded by a monster like him that has destroyed countless worlds would have ample memories attached to it. So when those metaphysical imprints of Nezarec’s past slammed into the Traveler’s beam of Light, they were made manifest due to the Light being all about physicality. And thus, he was reborn in a new form, one that befits the Final God of Pain as he surely would like to be remembered.

[@draccondracul2082]

Rhulk' glaive and Nezarec's scythe (a sword) should have been the raid exotics for these raids. I miss the time when raid exotics were actually tied to te bosses and told a story. Touch of malice made of Oryx's heart etc. These new exotics don't feel like they're connected to the raid in any way.

[@alexioa142]

​​​@@draccondracul2082 Well if you think about it, the exotic shotgun from Root of Nightmares is connected with the lore. Since it has both Stasis and Solar parts/dmg on it, it's like power of Light (Solar) + power of Darkness (Stasis), so it obviously refers to the beam of light shooted by the Traveller inside the ship (which ended in this fusion of Light and Dark on the weapon).

[@zxy_dxrk8931]

Hello everyone I have a theory I would like to share just a fun theory but my theory is that the reason nezarec is probably seen as a god and worshipped by the psions is cause he was a great psion flayer before he ever met the witness and was seen as a warrior among he people and then when he met the witness, and when the witness gave him his powers of the dark he transformed as how you see him in the raid now, so what my theory is that the tormentor’s are psions are mutated darkness psions and here are some similarities between the psions and tormentors to back up my theory, first the psions use a attack which is a purple energy ball that goes through the ground and sends you upward doing damage, a tormentor use a attack which is a purple portal/ whirlwinds that come flying at you and knocks you upward and back just like the normal psion move but 10x stronger, another similarity is there meele attacks, a psion meele attack would hit you with a purple blast from the palm of their hands, a tormentors meele/grab is which they hold you in their and hands and hit with multiple purple blast coming out the palm of their hands. To finish this theory the tormentors we fight in a lightfall are chosen psions by Nezarec and gave them his power, hints as some of the tormentors name such as, imprints of Nezarec

[@JeffreyAppSteam]

No. The witness only had the head of nezerac. He got Put on a buffed tormentor body. We have his pieces. All but the head. Eramis took it and brought at to the witness. He asked in the raid if we happen to know who his body parts took cause He cant even track them down.

[@simonwahlen7150]

@@JeffreyAppSteam Just pointing out that Nezerac's head wasn't put on a tormentor body. The tormentor body literally grows from the head as we explore the raid. In the begining after the first encounter if you look inside the crystal you se the shoulders and parts of a torso attached to the the helmet. After we activate the root and return to the final encounter he has a full body in the crystal and burst out. It seems like light healing gave him that tormenter body. In my opinion it is the tormentors that are copies of Nezerac not the other way around. The lore says that tormentors are a result of cooporation between the witness and cabal I see 2 ways this could be true. 1) Nezerac is from a lost species and the Tormentors are darkness enhanced cabal tech clones of him. 2) He was a "god thought" mega psion flayer harvesting power from other psions before being recruited by the witness and Tormentors are other psions inbued with parts of his power.

The traveler shot it’s beam to make the tree of silver wings. One of the branches from the tree stabbed through one of the remains of nezarec, entombed in a vessel. Nezarec from beyond the grave used the root of this tree, fused with light energy, to revive himself

[@Xenronnify]

So right now I'm spin-foiling, but I wanted to write it down before I forget. Nezarec mentioned the Veil holds "the sapid secret of [the Witness'] first victims." Sapid means 'having a strong, pleasant taste', and coupled with the phrasing of "victims", I would argue Nezarec is saying that the Veil is comprised of some fear/pain/loss of the first species the Witness sacrificed in its pursuit of the Final Shape. Now, given that we also hear that Strand is a byproduct or 'trace' left from the Veil's creation or existence (not sure which, maybe both), and that Strand is 'The River of Souls' to the Neomuni, then it has to do with life force, similar to how Deepsight deals with memory and Stasis deals with entropy. Nezarec considers the Veil and its' creation to be "strongly pleasant tasting," which to him would mean it would have to do with something awful. So, SO --- If strand (a byproduct of the Veil) is related to life-force, and the Veil gives it off, and Nezarec likes it as one does a dessert.... The Veil may very well BE the remnants of that "first species" the Witness encountered (read: destroyed). Now when we take this interpretation, and couple it with the strange "veiled female figure" statues seen in various Pyramids (and Clarity Control), and the name "Veil" starts making more and more sense. These statues are, perhaps, remnants or effigies of this "first species" - one that must be truly ancient, since the Witness was already quite old when it came to claim the proto-Hive species. Yikes.

Considering how long it hasn't shown up, it's because it's unnecessary. Why, we know all the races and their accompanying variations within each.

Unlike traditional RPG titles which needs you to know which enemy to farm for what item to drop, Destiny drops are actually separated by the exact mission you're in, or locale you're on.

i dont understand what you said about the armour lore, how would a pre golden age man get in contact with eliksni and psions?? and then a guardian which wouldnt have had existed???

[@DerdOn0ner]

2:34 well, strand was supposed to be in Witch Queen, I am sure of it

[@awesomeguy9513]

My best guess is the witness pyramid ship must of had nezeracs heart or head in the tomb and the light blast mixed with the darkness and brought him back as a hybrid. I say heart/head cause that seems the most logical to bring him back and for the witness to keep and he probably took it before nezerac was chopped up

[@GiorgosAigio96]

he probably had it stored on the statue of nezarec as well hence his quick revival

[@franciscoandres4907]

According to the hunter set, the Fallen actually AVOIDED taking anything from the head. The Captain in the loretabs says it was likely out of fear, and when he took an eye, it ended up causing him unbearable pain. It's possible that during the Witness' attack, it sent some forces to the moon to recover whatever's left of Nezarec, and all that was left was the head.

[@kinglarry3727]

where do you find the Hi-Rez image of Nezerac

[@voidsss7021]

Probably takes them himself

[@franciscoandres4907]

Are we sure he's REALLY gone for good this time, and we didn't just send his mind back into the VexNet or a Throne World or something? He was already killed during the collapse, and he still came back despite his original body being cut up (which reminds me that there could still be bits and pieces of him floating around). Hell, the Conditional Finality Loretab says that he's always welcomed and embraced death, implying that even that wasn't the first time he's been killed. And why would Savathun go as far as to curse his remains? Something tells me that this isn't the first time Nezzy's kicked the bucket, nor will it be the last.

[@sternguard8283]

Your probably right, Nezarec is like a cockroach

[@XxDeathxX509]

You forgot to mention the guardian from the titan set KILLS his ghost to allow himself to cut out his eyes because his ghost kept regenerating his eyes back. I think that’s the most chilling revelation of that story

[@Eliass234]

I love the design of Nezarec. He looks very similar to Rhulk and Tormentors, although it confuses me since I thought he was eliksni

[@lordferbus2970]

We don't know what species Nezarec is But the Tormentors are modelled after him hence why there are some with the title of "Imprint of Nezarec"

[@FirstTruth]

The eliksni cut up his body, nothing says he’s eliksni

[@Shweaty7]

Great video, I can’t wait to see how more lore builds. I can’t even play the game cuz it’s been broken for weeks and I am excited to come back and see the expansion while recognizing the lore as it goes. Very intricate seasons ahead.

[@jaredf.6532]

What if his curse if being brought back as a guardian. He has the travelars light now. So its possible. Savathun cursing him to be the betrayer to serve the traveler. That would be a fun thing to do. Very doubtful to happen

[@rioichikurosaki6435]

So we ran out of things to kill, we resurrect something to kill. Sounds like something a loot hungry gremlin like us would do. 😂

[@creepy6054]

We will see nezarec definitely again in future dlc, he has multiple tombs apparently and cult that worship him, there is no way he is dead for good

That Mykel lore makes no sense, how is he interacting with these races and guardians if he's ancient.

[@pkmn7777777]

So- do we know if Calus’s ship he takes to Neomuna is confirmed to be the Luna pyramid? We never see it fly out and it feels like a bigger deal if That Pyramid was taken, wouldn’t that mean nightmares on the moon went away? Obviously he probably did take that pyramid and they don’t want to draw attention to it, making the Shadowkeep story null. But it’s still an unanswered question. And as for the witness finding a piece of his body- when was that? Recently? Did a follower find a piece since season of arrivals? I’m wondering if the traveler rezzing Nezarec was a 5d chess move for some yet-discovered reason. It doesn’t look like it hurt the witness any, so I wonder if the beam intended to resurrect Nezarec or the interaction of light and dark in the pyramid is more important than it seems. Also, I bet the Explicator of Planets was a cabal from Mars he recruited to give guidance about Mars, Io, Titan, etc. Could be how he knew about the Bray center from the Spire dungeon

[@intelli-gent9863]

Thank you so much for making these videos! I dropped Destiny quite a while ago and you are the best source I have to keep up-to-date on lore. After completely catching up, I've got to say, Destiny's lore it's such a huge mess and all over the place. Bungie has a really bad habit of answering people's questions with more questions until it becomes a huge confusing web of unanswered plot points where Savathun is always behind everything. All this buildup and DLCs, and we still know next to nothing about those pyramids and who the hell the Witness is. My prediction is after 5 DLCs or so, maybe just maybe Bungie will give us a crumb. Something tells me that after we solve this whole Traveler and Witness predicament we probably will take on The Nine next. It's a shame that this is what Destiny has devolved into but I'm happy that people are at least having fun playing it.

[@WhenToastersAttack]

I really do hope this isn’t the last we see or hear of him. This is not enough payoff for years of buildup.

[@damianlorenzi7155]

I was wondering about the disciples of the witness and their eyes, so bungie has something with the number 7 there are as of jet 3 confirmed disciples, Nezarec, Rhulk and Calus. Nezarec has 7 eyes, Rhulk has 6 eyes and Calus 2. So speculate if one would add one disciple from the Hive with 3 eyes and one from the fallen with 4 eyes there would be left with 1-eyed and 5-eyed to have all 7 disciples (if there are 7) with each the amount of eyes from 1 to 7! is this to far fetched for a theorie?

[@guinetik]

I love how the word scission means split and is specially used in the context of DNA **strands**

[@AdeptKing]

Hearing that Savathun is the one who killed Nezarec before makes me question why she didn't just tell Mara and the Guardians what she was up to. If she couldn't do it while she had her worm then I wonder why she couldn't do it after she had the light. A lot of fighting could have been avoided if she had.

[@spacemegalodon5049]

When she became a guardian she lost all her memories and had to trick us into regaining some of her memories.

One this I don´t understand is WHEN did Savathun killed Nezarec and where would be nice to know aswell. Do you know?

[@lordferbus2970]

​@Xetrus Gaming around the time of the collapse I guess

[@XxDeathxX509]

The second her worm was excised Mara sov tried to SHANK her. I don’t think we gave off a “talkative” vibe to her. She tried to reason with us during the witch queen campaign and our ghost yelled at her in a rage. She knew us as an ally wasn’t an option back then. Now that the guardians know what she was up to however the alliance with the hive might actually be possible

[@lorenblueearth5657]

What if savathun looked at the destiny universe as a chess game and she is 17 moves ahead of everyone except Mara sov. Who herself is playing chess and is both smart and very strategic in how she plays her pieces and know that savathun will eventually come knocking. From the ending scene we are gonna be fighting inside the traveler for a final battle that could be very epic and awesome
