Legends of Destiny - Rasputin The Warmind

[@timewellspent8137]

"I AM RASPUTIN. I HAVE NO EQUAL."

[@professorx2607]

So in round two I expect the darkness to be knocked out .....right😎

[@bossman-wz3nl]

What have we done

[@trial_with_an_error9687]

The Darkness: Are you sure about that?

[@timewellspent8137]

@@trial_with_an_error9687 Maybe this is all part of his plan

MY NAME IS RASPUTIN GUARDIAN OF GUARDIANS LOOK ON MY WORK YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR

[@Dr.ArielFinch]

Rasputin, Inheritor of Charlemagne's Charge, Guardian of Humanity, Warmind of Earth, and Black Iron God of War.

Ra Ra Rasputin [old] Russia's favourite war machine

[@mrbrightsidetf2]

Literally

[@minimalgrammar1276]

Yayy!

[@foundationagentredacted9908]

There was a (god) the really was gone

[@KennyisLB]

Hehe... I almost forgot the Grimoire about this. "She has the sense of something old lifting a long spear. Testing its heft."

[@LockeLynx]

KennyisLB the "Valkyrie" the new relic weapon we can use happens to be a Javalin-type weapon...suspicious.

[@Reddotzebra]

I would have thought such a metaphor would have referred to Gungnir, the spear of Odin. The only thing that lives up to its reputation of being able to pierce anything in existence is pretty much an orbital kinetic weapon,I suppose that is why they refer to Kilo-Kilo projectiles as "rods from god".

[@0DeathTheKid15]

"...and the tyrant....goes to work!" i dont know why but this gave me chills Great Work and awesome Video

[@LockeLynx]

You even went as far to add the music Rasputin plays in Destiny 1 and 2 when he trys to communicate with us! Nice. Edit: I listened carefully at around 4:11-4:13, you can hear Rasputin actually talking like he did in Destiny 1 on the radio!

[@reclaimeddead]

LockeLynx the icing on the cake.

[@Safeguard1]

"As the Psionic backlash fries their brains to slurry." My god I feel bad for those little guys.

[@ETNL_Nomad]

Wish bungie put this much effort into the story.

[@teriinekoyama1369]

What if I told you this was adapted from the Grimoire card entry... Yeah, they're capable of it (or, at least they were).

[@ETNL_Nomad]

Terii Brown yeah, the grimoire had a lot of good shit but I meant like in game lol

[@grantoflan]

Where do you think he gets the lore from to talk about in his videos? Are you a numpty?

[@Marcus-yz7zw]

Christian Matos I wish you had put more thought* into your lamentable comment.

[@Razgriz_01]

Well, if you've played Halo, Bungie doesn't really put "too much" of the story into the games. They always leave the heavy details in secondary sources like the grimoires, or have it as some background text for certain items.

[@chipmercury]

Loved it! I love the description of Rasputin in the Cabal's mind, an old angry god. More of that dark storytelling please!

[@androiddefence9477]

There's something that I admired of the Warmind when I first heard of it's history. A machine with a will and a voice that not many can make out, a power with the unbridled and unhesitating precision...of brutality and destruction. Show's no mercy, Acts without hesitation, a power that I have a fascination towards since my first hearing of the great Warmind.

[@garrettviewegh9028]

Part of me hopes Rasputin returns as a Guardian. I feel he’d be a Warlock, as his son was before him. Maybe we use the darkness to return his memories to him? Help him rebuild the many assets and rescources he’d lost as the Warmind? His combat frames, Warsats, arsenal, and other artillery and armaments, would be useful in fighting Xivu Arath and taking back Torrobaital.

[@Blackhart-7]

In the immortal words of Lord Shaxx: "This is Amazing!!!" xD

[@LockeLynx]

Shaxx: PHENOMENAL!

[@TheBodybuilder4life]

look at them fall!

[@Dragoon-VI]

Your enemies can kill you if there alive. Reverse Shaxx = Xxahs

[@NemesisJanus]

TIL: I can get turned on by the description of an orbital bombardment

[@HDreaper17]

Oh thank gods it's not just me

[@ivegonefishing482]

This...was...epic!!! This storytelling is even better than Bungie's currently as much as I hate to admit it.

[@davidhenry6109]

Rasputin one among the few things in existence that can shit on everybody's day equally. Also, if I'm remembering correctly Rasputin is the one who crippled the Traveler for trying to pull a one night stand, right?

[@zxshadowxz]

No, he never actually look the shot. Rasputin did have a contingency called LOKI CROWN tho, which was that if the Traveler DID try to abandon Mankind during an extinction level event, he’d unleash his arsenal to prevent its escape, forcing it to protect Earth, or be destroyed with us.

[@ender_slayer3]

This is the true spirit of Rasputin, this is how he should be written. Not how he has been shown now, how he has been shamed.

[@N8man42]

You know. I’d like to imagine Rasputin listening to classical music while committing bloody murder and world wide genocide. It’s funny and incredibly unnerving at the same time.

[@Dr.ArielFinch]

Oh, he's tested the weight of those spears, alright.

[@hgumen]

My dear Byf, even you with your beautiful voice and passion for the lore cannot save Destiny. I am very much heartbroken with Destiny.

[@MovadoMj]

Goddamn byf, you can tell a hell of a story as usual!!

[@EldrickTobin]

Bravo! Really sets a nice image of what a Warmind deciding something doesn't need to exist would look like. Especially for more Causal forces.

[@enzogangi7711]

I don't care. It's still canon for me.

[@pieceopye4046]

enzo gangi I love it when people say this in most franchises don't have anything to say it didn't happen

[@gjallarhorn4534]

Here's the thing, it's a grimoire card I do in fact believe

[@johnnyfranco90]

Brilliant writing. Imagery is incredible.

[@peterclarke7240]

It's b movie narrative. Go and read a proper book. No disrespect to Byf, but he's a content creator, not an author. Read some Pratchett or Tolkien to get an understanding of the difference. And this is not a dig at either you or Byf, but I am a massive fan of literature, and this is not literature.

[@peterclarke7240]

I'm going to get shit for that, aren't I?

[@masterofthelyokianmonsters2886]

Peter Clarke probably.

[@TheEyeWatching]

It is rather impolite, certainly.

[@jennymckenzie5304]

I appreciate the comparison to Tolkien and Pratchett, but with all due respect, this wasn't intended to have narrative. The whole idea here is scenes, small moments in time that look and sound "good" when put together like this from a small (700 word) document, I'll be honest, if you want full narrative, you're looking in the wrong place.

[@Prxometheus]

This is by far my favorite lore channel, the narration is amazing and the imagery is fantastic!

[@SkyWarrior100]

The campaign for warmind left me feeling empty and just wanting more because the boss fight with xol was very underwhelming.

[@maxthommesen9315]

u call 3 missions a canpaign?

[@SkyWarrior100]

Max Thommesen that's what the game is calling it.

[@SkyWarrior100]

DeputyDerpy what's the occasion?

[@jasonsmith9161]

Pretty much just described the entirety of Destiny 2

[@deputy1188]

anytime

[@dustinkirby7101]

It is not canon... but it should be!

[@DysprosiumMr]

Dustin Kirby it's describing an event found in the grimoire, is it not?

[@dustinkirby7101]

As far as I understand, though the grimoire does not go into as much depth. I was merely stating that the story needs the cards, and the cards need love like what byf put into this short with his team. And poking fun at the disclaimer.

[@Darkanakin42]

Byf IS cannon

[@dustinkirby7101]

Darkanakin42 couldn't agree more!

[@marcusalm7350]

It's cannon... ;)

[@davidmangual1033]

Gotta say I wasn't watching the video itself since I was busy but just listening gave me a vivid image of what was going on , it's brilliant

[@srbrant5391]

I'm pretty sure I've heard of a self-aware supercomputer with access to WMDs before. Something involving the words "hate" and "nanoangstrom."

[@panan7777]

You must be old, if you know angstrom. It's nanometer for about past 45 years. :)))

[@srbrant5391]

Andrej Premk I’m referencing _I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream._

[@dylan.bissendmylife]

That was so well done. Can't wait for more. i spent the whole video expecting a "RA RA RASPUTIN" and that's fine

[@NicoHannes]

it was kind of frightening....i closed my eyes, listen to your story and imagine everything in my head. i got really lost myself in the way you told this story.

[@markhorsburgh3989]

AWESOME VIDEO BYF!!! That isn't incredibly far from being an audio book. Excellent artwork too. Love it!

[@luminouswolf7117]

“33 ton slugs of tungsten carbide” Rods from god ? 5:14

[@nidhogthenibbler3609]

Well told, Storyteller. May your well stories never run dry.

[@WeatherMan4Ever]

This has got to be one of the best reads of Destiny lore you have done! Thanks Byf for sharing this!

[@chairmeme6231]

Oh mars the home of ancient mechanical gods from 40k to destiny

[@feralprocessor9853]

Rasputin vs Red legion = Rasputin curbedstomps the first wave

[@flowers2734]

That was awesome!!! Thanks for putting in so much work into this!

[@psyraxx88]

Howdy from Texas! Found something neat in aurora reach. Ghost symbols and a number 12457

[@vid9511]

Red Legion: *Comes to mars* Hive: We got here first Red Legion: *sends minimum cabals*

[@carsonkidd1626]

I really enjoyed this, thank-you guys. I know it probably took a long time but keep doing these please!

[@komodogaming6330]

Rasputin is clearly a little bit angry

[@ZiGGi03]

WHAT THE HELL! GOOSEBUMPS BRO! That was magical bro the World needs more videos like this. You coukd do so many stories and coukd go into so much detail. Oh I just love it !

[@Mrsalt7500]

Yeeeesssss!!!!! Awesome job Byf!!!

[@nunbeam]

This was the single greatest thing I have ever heard.

[@InfectedPup]

I know it's not cannon but this is very accurate to what rasputin Can do

[@chriskindler7625]

Oh My Lanta!!! This is epic my friend!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!

[@bizkit8538]

That prose thou 0_o Thank u for reminding me of how terrified I am of Rasputin. . . . I mean like way back in Vanilla D1 I was like “Wait, they named it Rasputin? On purpose! Were they asking for Judgement Day?!

[@Squeebop]

You're my hero and make this game worth playing.

[@BarbatosGamer]

Now that we've encountered a Worm God do you think the Leviathan of Titan is a Worm God in the making or something else?

[@decker7452]

I'm very sure you have noticed byf, but if you look closely there are terminals scattered around mars that activates dialogue and reveals many unanswered questions. Haven't had time to explore much so only found 3, but the most interesting one fully explains the origins of exo's and even explains why there are 2 genders. Very cool stuff!

[@acheco78]

hey Byf I dont know if you noticed but during the story when you enter rasputins chamber none of your abilities work....can rasputin suppress light?

[@deadzealot2602]

Wow, I'm sad this was over so soon. It cut to black and I checked my phone to see if something was wrong. 1.5h seems an appropriate length for this format, I'll be looking forward to that in two weeks ;D

[@TheNicb1]

Damn I'm legitimately impressed. Great work.

[@Daddy_flavs]

What’s the name of the music at the end??

[@masterofthelyokianmonsters2886]

No wonder the iron lords got their asses whooped.

[@revenant849]

If the cabal couldn't even gain a foot hold the fuck were the iron lords gonna do

[@Spirex06]

4:30... symphony sounds familiar. Tchaikovsky? Or am I mistaken?

[@gcs7777]

It's more fun to study, read and hear the lore than ingame.

[@TrackerRox]

Wow!!! This had me scrambling to find a charger for my phone. Amazing commentary, I NEED MORE.

[@jordanbarber6376]

Holy shit Byf, keep up the great work buddy!

[@vibecheck9424]

Yes! Story time with Byf!

[@AirsoftKuro]

Hey, i dont know if someone already found it but i found prince Uldron's ship crashed on Mars (lost sector "MA'ADIM SUBTERRANE")

[@welshwillis5374]

MyNameIsByf, the Morgan Freeman of the gaming world! Love your lore and story vids 👍❤️

[@dianayoder1285]

You may have found this already, but in case you haven't I came across a terminal in Rasputin's server room that talks about his morality code and how it came to be. It is on the right side of the room along the wall.

[@BravoKilo226]

Phenomenal writing and imagery!

[@feralprocessor9853]

We are Cabal, we eat the mountains, we drink the sea!!!

[@bdr0705]

Hey, can you do a video going over the Lost memory fragments that you get in the Warmind DLC? They contain lore in which it relates back to having to do with time as the items found in Not Forged in light are lost to time. Ana’s bracelet and Pujari’s ring.

[@TheSlade26]

Great narration Byf. 2nd. Great art.

[@nonmicrowaveabletoad]

4:17 my dog when someone knocks on the door

[@ryleeremsberg5109]

Omg dude this is the best one yet i love your work!

[@Kingofthenorf420]

This music makes me miss Destiny. I spent days grinding. I had so much fun playing it.

[@victoresnox7832]

This isnt a battle, this a slaughter as the thundering strikes of a wargod starts it's work

[@beanboy8511]

Not sure if you heard about this yet byf, but in the cabal lost sector in the glacial drift area, there is a scannable and it’s a crashed ship, which belongs to prince aldrun. When you first walk in it’ll be on ur left

[@arberrexha7312]

Byf, I don't know if you read these messages but listen; In the lost sector of 'Core Terminus' in the Braytech Futurescape area, there is two pieces of lore regarding the creation of the engrams and the exos by Clovis Brey. The A.I. Explains them by the glass doors to the interactibles on their right. Give them a look when you have a chance!

[@jarkohs]

Hey byf could you make a video ranking the worm gods from least powerful to most powerful I’m really interested and have heard that Yul is the most powerful but I’m not sure. If you could make a video on this it would be great thanks

[@ryukoslittlepogchamp]

Hey Byf if you spawn at glacial drift and go right, towards the lost sector go in and down to the right of the casum you will find a crashed ship scan it and it will tell you about Prince uldrons crash on Mars

[@jackattack8098]

Can we have a video just about the 5 mile long land tanks?

[@possiblyzslot838]

Byf on that daily grind.

[@professorx2607]

Why didn't rasputin defend the city in destiny 2 with this power or the power he unleashed on the iron lords.

[@JustMaxim37]

i belive he wasn't quite fully awake until the second expansion warmind and he does what he wants for he has no equal. as for siva its kind of mostly eradicated and hard to control.

[@kayjeld1813]

Damn Byf, this is rad as hell.

[@jamescent.5036]

Been a fan for a long time and love your videos Byf, you probably already know about it, but in the lost sector in the glacial drift there is a crashed ship that is a scannable and after you scan it the ghost tells you it was Prince Uldron’s ship and asks if he knew Rasputin was buried there. Do you think we could see Prince Uldron return in game soon?

[@ashaman7653]

This gave me goosebumps. Amazing

[@Johndouglasphillips]

I really can’t upvote this enough. Thank you!

[@typhoon37351]

The more i think about the words Rasputin left us at the end of the Warmind DLC the more it bothers me..

[@JadedSpartan719]

@my name is byf have you ever thought of doing audio books? Your an amazing narrator and I believe you would do well? Keep up the amazing content :)

[@upia89]

Loving the videos, have you thought of releasing a podcast style audio only for the lore things? Would be great to pass the time at work.

[@DanteMasaru]

That is some really stellar artwork.

[@lofipositividad9262]

When a non canon byf video makes more sense than the lore given in D2 😏

[@JeffMartin13]

Your videos remind of Jeremy Wade from River Monsters.

[@joshuamuriel]

Good catch man!

[@paulwediting7175]

You are a master storyteller Byf.

[@thescarletgi2232]

I hope someone makes some concept art on a humanoid Rasputin like how byf describes him.

[@Sevorast]

Whoever wrote this is a big fan of Warhammer 40k and it shows. Good stuff.

[@thisusernamenowtaken]

Awe-inspiring stuff, Byf! *But!* Books of Sorrow Part 4 -- Part 3 was out 1st September 2017! Pleeeeease! Also, 4:39 "Corpses not even cold before the butchery starts" -- have you become a Cannibal Corpse fan? ;)

[@robertjohnson-qf1cr]

Byf, I have a serious question... I just killed a worm god so I was wondering why I don't have the power to 'take ?

[@fronthal157]

First, Xol was the weakest worm god by far, second you dont commune with darkness, lol. Yet.

[@emtmike21]

Half my Destiny 1 friends have moved on to other games, even if I liked the way this game is going I don't have people I'd like to play with, not enough solo content to keep me playing alone, and all the work we did in destiny 1 still has no impact on D2. I had such high hopes for this franchise but nobody should have to wait an entire year for a AAA game to get fixed

[@darkness713]

Well spoke, your voice is luscious as always.

[@HighLordOfHouseIX]

im speechless. incredible work. like holy crap so good. 11 outta 10!! RASPUTIN KICKS ASS

[@blank6544]

10/10 Storytelling.

[@duncanhege9108]

2:16 and 4:17 give me chills every time.

[@Tyler-dl1hn]

This was a great video, very well done.
