Destiny 2 - SAVATHUN’S ULTIMATE PLAN! New Power & Leaving The Universe

Savathun, The Witch Queen. She has been a deceptive cunning queen for billions of years and returns to do more of that in the Final Shape. Appearing as an ally in the Final Battle, she still has mystery tied to her motives and the master plan above that of Light and Dark.

[@Chronoman]

Gonna be honest, I love how Savathun isn't just an ally that will always work with us. She's still an antagonist and has her own plans. If helping us helps her, then, that's what she does.

[@princephillip1481]

There is a rare voice line between Savathun and us when we clear the Lost Sector with Luzaku. Basically she praises Luzaku for being the only hive that undersrood the assignment which was to free oneself from the burden of following anyones whims but your own and blaze a path.

[@ButterflyD3fect]

​​@@adamboy0559 that changes nothing about the function of the sword logic. Just because they don't need to kill, does not mean they'll stop doing it. They'll still gain power through it.

[@adamboy0559]

@@ButterflyD3fect the light-bearers don’t need it. It’s a choice one that luzaku chose to make. She’s abandoning the traditional way of the hive to make a change

[@ButterflyD3fect]

​​​​​​@@adamboy0559Once again, just because they don't 'need' it, does not mean they can't use it. They can, and they do. It's literally I kill thing, I get xp, xp gives me more powah. It has no prerequisites and it's also not exclusive to anything (except bomb logic). For Savs brood, it's a way of keeping its fighting power among other things. Good practice. AFAIK the only thing Luzaku does not do is kill ghosts (And follow Savvy, but it's also stated that Savvy herself isn't really keeping a tight grip on her brood). That does not mean that she does not gain power. Sword Logic arguably does not even have to be acknowledged for it to work (I think). Once again, the only thing that changed for the Light brood is that they don't need to feed the worms. That's literally it. Excluding Luzaku and her brood, they're still doing relatively normal hive things. Killing stuff but now with Plots(TM).

[@throwitouttheairlock9556]

Crunch

[@kyleespinoza7201]

It feels little Savathun functions like an immune system for the universe/for us. Ultimately "on our side" and will fight with us to defeat a threat, but dangerous and willing to test us for weaknesses.

[@TheAcidicMolotov]

I enjoy the attempt but the immune system doesnt ever test for weaknesses. That would imply some sentience in improving the body purposefully

[@kyleespinoza7201]

@TheAcidicMolotov I'd like to direct your attention to the word "like" in my first sentence. As in, similar to. As in, having a resemblance without being identical. As in, obviously I'm not being literal here?

[@AtenSol12]

Oh how i love our love fight relationship. If oryx ever truly did return and was a serious threat shed help us kill him again. In sure she will with xivu. Shes so supportive. I think she feels like humanity is just another of her brood. She cultivated sol by sparing it from the witness and black fleet.

[@flamingscar5263]

I wouldn't go as far as her seeing humanity as her brood, more so that as long as our motives align shes aligned with us, I wouldn't go as far as to say she is on the side of humanity but shes also not against us, more of a neutral force in the universe

[@ShadowEO]

Exactly, She's not being an antagonist, it's more that she's testing us, training us. The fact that she stopped her brood from killing us just to attack the Witness, shows that she could be a very close ally. Hell, her saying that she understands our relationship is transactional, she sounds... Sad, that it can't be something more, an Alliance. I did laugh my ass off when Zavala said "Get. Off. My. Comms."

[@josegaldamez6504]

​@@GuigaRizzo Good theory, but I think that she wouldn't want to be the only hive god and instead would just get rid of possible threats to her, like her sister for example

[@seifer6665]

Is no one else thinking how the name gives it away? Heresy... the only thing heretical in Hive lore that I can recall was necromancy. Oryx kicked Nokris out because of it, I'm theorising Oryx is revived, especially giving the season is taking place on the dreadnought, and there were leaks we would see him again to some extent.

[@kaijugeddon9238]

​@seifer6665 My theory is that the lucent brood will try to resurrect oryx and we'll have to give oryx ravenous heart back to him to being him back but prevent him from becoming savathuns underling, Knowing oryx he'll go to war with savathun for trying to resurrect him

[@josegaldamez6504]

@kaijugeddon9238 He wouldn't go to war for trying to resurrect him since when a person becomes a guardian, they forget who they were before death. For him to do that he would need his memory's for the motive for starting a war with savathun for trying to resurrect him

[@juannavejas6510]

If she is trying to leave the universe I think I know where she might go. The Gardner and Winnower played the flower game, watching as it played out. But when paracausal powers was introduced into the game both of them had to be part of the universe(garden) for it to work. They became the Traveler and the Veil, or just use those 2 as a means to interact with the universe. So what if Savathun is trying to leave to where the Gardner and Winnower are really from and gain power in that parent universe and truly make the Destiny universe her own.

[@eotwkdp]

Savathun ironically is helping us in another way. Keeping the Lucent hive as one group instead of just many. Savathuns wins so long as her brood(her family ) continues on and with a friendly hive lightbearer. That is one of many victories.

[@danny_dinthead8858]

Sassy Savvy is best Savvy.

[@darkfire06]

😂😂 u felt that "don't owe you. A. THING."

[@jjwebster1]

I just realised, we have both darkness and light powers, the Lucent brood doesn't. We only see then weild the light. Lucent titans = void, lucent hunters = solar, lucent warlock = arc. Savathun knows this even if we don't and is probably amused by how we have embraced the darkness. Hive magic is of the darkness but is not a power OF the darkness like Stasis or Strand are.

[@bladester0128]

Assuming Savathun wants to leave the Destiny universe for our universe then what she seeks is for someone to Mantle her (some Elder Scroll fans may know the concept, Hero of Kvatch mantled Sheogorath)

[@matthewmedina6534]

lol didn't expect to see this here, a similiar concept could make sense if they choose to go that route

[@garrettviewegh9028]

So, she wants to leave the video game and escape into our reality? Hmmm. Somehow, I don’t see that working out for her.

[@Roaring2Thunder]

Meme of savathun for me in my head is we are being jumped we make eye contact think she's gonna help us but then starts kicking us too

[@xXx_Regulus_xXx]

she'd join in on the kicking until the witness shows up, then she'd trip just enough people for us to stand and deck the witness. while we're doing that, she's greasing the floor to make sure there's something for us to trip and fall on later.

[@Grayves_X]

You shouldn't have tried to crush your partners ghost. You can refuse to fight and get a different ending

[@beckhornig7910]

[@alexandrugavrilut5248]

What if the Gardener and the Winnower are higher dimensional being, and Savathun is looking to break into this higher dimensional space? That's an interesting thought

[@garrettviewegh9028]

Possibly. Maybe she wants to ascend to their level, kill both entities, as she’d felt like a pawn among others to play their game, and stain true godhood. Only for the universe to punish her in return as we kill the last Hive God. That’s my prediction anyway.

[@macgyvermac2344]

now you guys see why the traveler brought her back, because she was the only way we could get inside the traveler, she knows what to do and she did have a bone to pick with the witness for tricking her, she realized the truth now

[@adamboy0559]

Now all she needs is to get her brood to become like luzaku. Let the ones who aren’t lightbearers die out end the sword logic and finally fully join us. Once that’s happened we’ve got many powerful allies to deal with whatever comes next. If it’s truly going to be the winnower then we’re gonna need everything we had for the witness and more because the winnower is what the winters feared. And the fact something as strong as the witness feared it should say enough

[@garrettviewegh9028]

At best, she’s your enemy of your enemy. At worst, she’s a player in this grand game that aims to win it all, or simply usurp the Winnower and Gardner to a higher plane of existence. Still, I think the writers *will* kill her off. But, not for a long time. She’s one of Destiny’s best villains after all. However she meets her end, her master stroke is bound to be astoundingly shocking, and evil beyond imagination. Still, I feel the Winnower and Gardner may give her the power she seeks. Only to watch as she’s destroyed by it. The two players may not like one of their pieces disobeying them.

[@NotreDanish]

If we remember that Darkness is Memory and Light is Form, then Savathun trying to take advantage of the fusing of Light and Dark in the Pale Heart makes a lot of sense for the goal of trying to get into a parent universe. Why? Because using Light she could make a gateway, and with Darkness, she would know where to go from using the Traveler’s memories

[@carterhogan3167]

I got to say it Luzaku has got to be my favorite hive so far, honestly, I can't wait to see when destiny 3 comes out And hopefully I hope we can be hive as a species cuz the way this is going it looks like some of them are actually joining the Vanguard or possibly, highly possible God, that'd be so cool to play as a hive guardian

[@adamboy0559]

Seems like that’s what savathûn wants this. She’s happy with luzaku chose to make her own choices and path, seems like that’s the end goal for her luccent brood. To become self aware and able to make there own choices, then they can finally be free

[@RurouniHiro]

Maybe I’m reading into the tone and inflections of her voice from 2:50 on… she’s seems rather whimsical and wanting… like a longing with some reluctance or tiredness of her stubborn kid/broods actions. like she does want to be closer but cannot bring herself to express it… likely doing so in her ingrained way via sword logic and habits from her long life. Still looking to that one lore book from when she disguised herself as Osiris. The reactions she had at that celebratory camp fire with drinks. It’s like she does her best to avoid those feelings of care and closeness. So everything concerning Crow, especially her dialogue during season of the lost… was rather direct… given her worm was suppressed and even that was clearly laid with deceptions… but probably more in deceiving herself just as much as we as us and crow. She didn’t have to restore his memories, there was so much unnecessary acts she did that barely offered any benefit to her… Course she was/still the hive god of cunning… At most she’s still antagonistic, but not really a “villain” anymore but bridging into Anti-Villain, and this definitely started with witch Queen, even if she was without memory it still gave her time to give things a fresh new look with three fresh eyes as she watches us the whole time, as we slowly return her memory to her.

[@Dorian_Kellum]

Do we still have Imaru? I’m not sure why we would “give” him back, even during the Final Shape fight, but I don’t see us really holding onto him if she didn’t want us to.

[@vyndaio]

[@Ranger771]

[@joedanrob]

I think theres lore that some Ahamkara know that they are in a game and want to escape it and come into our world. Its a streght but maybe Savathun wants to do the same

[@patrickstoute4085]

I get it now, she want undone,what the witness did... Get rid of the worms... Mindblowing...

[@actualnacho612]

I'm hedging my bets on savathun turning Luzaku into a hive god

[@dollfacedreamz97]

At this point savathun is like aids she’s there’s and then gone and then come back again we know we can kill her but no one does

[@abonilla131]

The fact that Saint-14 killed her multiple times for what she did to Osiris will forever be Goated

[@garrettviewegh9028]

There are also many that would want to end her permanently. It’s not a matter of if she will die. But when. I’m convinced we’re still built up to kill the entire Hive Pantheon. Until only the Lucent Brood remains, and a few others.

[@BASEDROBBERSPONGE234]

imagine the hive now have the power of the deep as well and they freeze us all and pull us apart

[@BungieStudios]

Savathun seeks power and survival by mastering both Light and Dark, challenging the Guardians to grow stronger as potential rivals and allies. She aims to position herself advantageously in the cosmic conflict between creation and destruction, ensuring her dominance and survival.

[@BungieStudios]

Savathun possesses deep, ancient knowledge of both Light and Dark far surpassing that of the Guardians, allowing her to manipulate and strategize effectively. Her understanding of the cosmic conflict's fundamental principles gives her a significant advantage over the Guardians, who are still unraveling these complexities.

[@DarkHorizons13]

I get the feeling that Sav is trying to become the mother of reality, her aim seems similar to the witness. But instead of making the game end in a blan peace. She aims to become the referee, the mother over both the gardener and the winnower. She wishes to make sure the game never ends. She has made strategy and knowledge her powers, she has written her self into the game theory of the very destiny reality. This guy likes to day dream that she mimics the guardians rise from the light with her rise from the darkness, like us she works with a balance of embodying both light and dark. But in adjacent to using this duality to defy she is planting seeds to inspire. We represent order a unified collection of wills to not be enslaved, to be free and to live. While it seems Sav is the singular will to provoke this life to challenge, struggle and overcome... to live. I think she is the narrative ying to our yang. Like the gardener has the winnower, the player has their gamemaster. Her version of the single truth is THE GAME MUST BE PLAYED. As the guardians represent/are the players, Sav represents the game-dev team on this journey with us, provoking us to play. Atleast that's this fans idea.

[@GospelofPlato]

I see it in the same way Arthur Schopenhauer, Immanuel Kant and Jacob Boehme did. The universe they are referring to is the place of pure potentials and the Will (things-inthemselves), the world of Platonic ideas/forms. The noumenal world. The universe of matter is the representation of the will. Therefore there exists a dimension we cannot perceive, where the objects we see represented are not the things themselves. This is how the Witness is able to reshape things, it's literally altering the potential form that gets manifested into reality. The Traveler is the tool for manifesting the will into the physical, The Veil is the 'reflection'/mirror/looking glass (notice how the Witness is always seen looking through glass in his cutscenes), of the Will itself, which is non-physical, and is between light and dark, like a prism, that transmits pure light into different colours that we can perceive. The Traveler itself is a representation of the Will, while the Veil is the wisdom of the Traveler. The Will is reflecting its own being via the veil, into physical reality via the traveler. Darkness and Light therefore come from the same source, you can't have one without the other. The Winnower is The Will's Principium Individuationis - The Principle of individuation - Multiplicity. Schopenhauer called this the Will to Life, the energy that moves things to live (the Witness observed this). Nietzsche called it the Will to Power (this is more like Sword Logic). "We take no pleasure in existence except when we are striving after something." “We all feel that we are something other than a being which someone once created out of nothing: from this arises the confidence that, while death may be able to end our life, it cannot end our existence.” The above is to say that as long as we continue in the world of thought, we continue to exist, as the Will is ONE, a union. A collective unconscious. If we exist as a form, this is MORE REAL, than the physical world, which is merely a representation. Representations are patterns, we identify forms in the physical world as patterns. No two trees look exactly the same, but we can identify them both as being within a certain pattern that makes up the form of a 'tree'.

[@kirayamato1694]

i feel as Savathun knows about our true enemy that being the WINNOWER and if what i think is true Savathun knows that only for us to get stronger and kill the Winnower is that we most get stronger much stronger becaue the Winnower is most likly where we are heading for the next chaptor is destiny's story
