The ENTIRE Story of Destiny in 20 Minutes

[@FalloutPlays]

Shoutout to Byf who actually helped me with the outline of this vid! Watch his vid for the FULL, in-depth lore. Watch this if you're short on time 😅

[@hhaste]

I've tried, it's just.. *_S O H A R D_* to get through 10 hours of info while trying to retain any of it. By the time I'm 30 minutes in, I've forgotten everything he's said. I won't remember anything by the time I'm done with the 10 hours.

[@Kurotaisa]

You know I would have laughed my ass off if this had just been Byf's video ran at 10x speed by the chipmunks.

[@Raizo2212]

Do we have to start calling you Lore Zaddy now

[@EternalChronicler]

I love the duality between you two. Byf respects our obsession by going over every intricacy of detailed lore. You respect our time by giving us exactly what we need to know. Keep it up man.

[@MynameisByf]

It was a great chance to work on it too. I know you've also been refining your version for a long time. In truth, I'm glad I got the chance to offer even a little assistance. The process of helping you helped me to clarify my own version. It's better because you asked for assistance. This video has my seal of approval. Send all haters to this comment and let them seethe and cope.

[@SmokeyOwOs]

Cant believe the entire story of Destiny is The Traveler and The Witness trying to find people for their 5v5 Pickup basketball game.

[@johnkeyes9482]

Bro did a two sec version of entire lore of destiny

[@SmokeyOwOs]

@johnkeyes9482 destiny lore any% speedrun

[@finefornow_]

It's just the traveler and the witness lfging for pantheon

[@sawyeratkinson]

Considering it's six on six, why not go with hockey?

[@jasonhughes9916]

This explains why we kill so many things by dunking balls of energy on/around them.

[@gallavanting2041]

The first sentence of this video starts with the guardian's revival, which is 3 and a half hours into Byf's video. Hilarious.

[@jacobpinson2834]

still can't recommend byf's video enough tho

[@gallavanting2041]

@@jacobpinson2834 oh 1000% I watched the premiere and it was worth it

[@crownandbridge1]

i'm Dying 🤣🤣🤣

[@darkinfamous11]

And the lightfall story was less than a minute which is such a good representation of how useless most of that story was

[@gallavanting2041]

​@@darkinfamous11 Well he was going "guardian did this then this then this" and in that context Lightfall definitely fails. Most of Lightfall's lore was esoteric stuff like "here's precursor lore" So a ton of lightfall stuff is used heavily in Byf's and not at all here.

[@Ju5tV1siting]

babe wake up, new speedrun category dropped

[@MynameisByf]

LMAO XD

[@TheIRS-WashingtonDC]

​@@MynameisByf nahh you. Hi

[@pierre-mariecaulliez6285]

OK, now try 40K ;7

[@chayarchy]

fallout watched byfs vid on 30x speed and thought "yeah, i can do that"

[@majormuffin]

After finishing Byf's video yesterday (graveyard shifts make deep dive videos amazing) what the hell made me say "10 hours wasn't enough, let's make it 10 hours and 20 minutes"

[@haydenvance4096]

Evil Byf

[@jthunderdraws3175]

Chaotic Evil? Or Chaotic Neutral....

[@IWearShoes31]

Evil Byf? ...it was so obvious mustache and all!

[@RafitoOoO]

Nah, Good Byf. Evil is boring people to death with a ten hour video lmao.

[@DarthSpiderMario]

So would he be Fyb then?

[@IWearShoes31]

@@RafitoOoO Well it's right to be wrong, I watch the whole thing while working kept me plenty entertained

[@FunnySansMan]

That’s crazy, Fallout did what took Byf 10 hours, in 20 minutes 💀💀💀 (This is sarcasm obv, we all love lore daddy Byf)

[@aramomusic]

this is kinda also byf's creation lmao

[@PhoenixBlacke]

Lol yea we love Byf, but we love Fallout for simplfying things the way he does for the times we want to be quick

[@SpecialOpsDeclassified]

If I watch byf,I would have wake up in the middle of the night by the time when the video is over

[@odessawild7798]

Byf has his head up his own ass s bit

[@ryanbell4216]

Byf did the entire story in 60 seconds now

[@IILorenzo7]

This is actually amazing! As a day 1 D1 player it covers literally everything any player (new or old) needs to know in a bite sized package. Love it and keep up the awesome content dude!!

[@tobias-hastings]

New drinking game: while watching this video, every time Fallout says "What's a...?" or "Who's...?" take a shot.

[@pappassassingaming]

Or, "You know..."

[@doktorsmiles2034]

I am smashed rn

[@mrsocko316]

Byf - Painstakingly researches Destiny for months upon months to create a 10 hr long video detailing everything that has happened since the beginning. Fallout - Asks Byf to tell him what to put in a 23 minute video and names it the "ENTIRE" story.

[@shedidntthinkthisthrough]

fallout is absolutely the copy your homework friend from school and we love him for it

[@AgentOfPowerSun]

“I want Byf” “We have Byf at home” Byf at home:

[@gtam3habitat]

This was surprising educational. As someone who has been playing D2 on and off for like 9 years, sometimes I skip out on some content. Thanks for catching me up!

[@FalseMajin]

This isn’t 25 hours how am I supposed to make it to final shape

[@warriorgoat5939]

Exactly!

[@ericbright1742]

3:48 Oryx definitely beats out Clovis when it comes to "Dad of the Year" competition. Oryx kills his progeny out of love, and a desire for them to be better. Clovis kills his progeny out of incompetence, and a desire for _himself_ to be better.

[@iplayonatoaster5406]

Oryx also defies the sword logic (the source of his power) to avenge his own Son's death

[@PopularNobody]

With respect to Byf. This is what we need ahead of the dlc not 12 hrs of a soothing voice

[@Drathro81]

He’s coming for you Byf!

[@Pliskin1023]

10 years in 20min, you nailed it, congrats mate from Spain

[@FoxyRaven-TV]

Thank you, as a newbie to Destiny 2 with only 200 hours in and started last year there is a ton i dont know about the game and storie, comming from Fallout76 that i spend 8000+ hours in its really nice to have alot of new things to do and explore, people seem nice and helpfull in general, looking forward to be a part of the Destiny 2 community 🙂

[@PraiseGodandJesus528]

Welcome!

[@swagger234]

Me, who has played every expansion in the game's history: mmmm very interesting!

[@htownmetalhead]

Great video. Thank you for making a short one! Cliff notes was all I needed so I could know who the hell all these new characters are and why we're aligned with them. I quit when Forsaken dropped and came back for Final Shape so I missed a lot.

[@ordoabchao1257]

This was awesome dude. For anyone wanting a bite size version of this 10 year story, and in super funny form, this is it for sure.

[@doktorsmiles2034]

The Cutszene with Ikora saying "The hive.. were lyed to" is probably the best reveal in entire destiny

[@blaziec8209]

Blew my mind

[@beaugalaz963]

Fallout - Disciple of Lore-Daddy 😊

[@ChaosRaych]

Small, tiny correction: Clovis Bray, Sr, is Elsie and Ana's granddad

[@notoriouspsi]

Chaosraych is such a good name

[@VergeXT]

This story is so obviously slapped together as they went lol

[@fightingforlife1211]

Byfs video was for me..the 10 year player. This is insanely more valuable, a way to explain to my friends in 20 minutes whats going on. I cant thank you enough fallout. May you rule the world one day .

[@westondavis1682]

Even after 20 min you still couldn't explain it. It all sounds like a bad spanish tellenovella. Spouler: Cade-6 is pregnant with Crow's child but they were brothers in the womb.

[@fightingforlife1211]

@westondavis1682 worked for me and my friends. Maybe its a you thing? Comprehension issue? But trying to start drama on a 5 month old post is wild.

[@westondavis1682]

@fightingforlife1211 Meh, it wasn't for a lot of people. Even soaps and telenovellas have their loyal following. I just call out hackneyd writing when I see it. As to the 5 month's, I don't pay attention to the time frame. It just came across my suggested list. The tube does that to keep generating views. Hell, I replied to 14 year old thread that I had replied to when the vid first fropped and again 7 years later. Don't sweat it.

[@bradkurk]

10 years yall, pretty wild

[@Ziploc_Wonder]

Halfway through and still no mention of the repeated returns of Taniks... just thought I'd highlight that Taniks just keeps coming back. Like all the time. A lot. Awesome video and love the quick captions. Lost it at The Stranger "not having time to explain."

[@Aryae_Sakura]

MyNameIsByf: uploads a 10h video of the Story of Destiny. FallOutPlays: Hold my Beer i can get this done in 20 minutes XD Jokes aside: like i wrote in my comment over at Byf's Video, you both are on of the few people i bestowed the highest honor i can give: the notification Bell

[@1leggeddog]

Perfect video. thank you Been following the story from the start, as best i could, but i still learned a few things!

[@bruhzee3931]

Light: “Wild Space Magic” Yes, i love this

[@RemyDarling]

This was actually really informative and super fast (and funny) which kept me watching. I'm just about to play it, and wanted to get some knowledge/lore.

[@voodoo8451]

I cannot believe the video is 22:59 long, was hoping for a 20min long video smh

[@Vishonn]

As a week 1 D1 player, 8000+ hours into both games, and also multiple year plus spells of not playing inbetween content droughts and bad times, that said this franchise is absolutely incredible, the overall story, lore and destiny universe is on another level to any game I know of. If a new player who has never played this game watches this video.. how could they not be desperate to get into this game?

[@DaffyD42]

Bro 8000h into each opus, of course you've heard of none other game

[@Vishonn]

@@DaffyD42 8k hours into them combined not each, a lot of that is time spent in orbit and afk

[@SizzleCorndog]

I think my biggest issue with Destiny lore is I find myself reacting like “oh they can do that?” instead of halo which was much more of a “oh well that makes sense”

[@dorianrpg]

Yo, thank you for piecing this all together for me. I've been playing since D1 beta and man I was losing my place in the lore. don't get me wrong, I love Lore Daddy but I just don't have time for that lol. your "Cliffs notes" version was a big help, thanks brother.

[@eldersound8614]

Thank you for this video, I have been looking for this information for a long time!

[@renegade8379]

Nice dude! Very, "History Of The Entire World, I Guess". Love it! You dropped this btw 👑

[@level100psyduck9]

Amazing video. Great work as always. Really appreciate the summary and the humor. One question: was there not a Zavala intro or did I just miss it?

[@noahadrian9515]

As an intense lore enthusiasts, this brings me both pain and laughter 😂

[@TheWorstType]

LMAO I haven't played Destiny since Forsaken and can't even think about what the time investment it would take to get back into - I just watched all of Byf's video over the last week as an update and then I came here and I am both impressed that you did tell this really well and with a lot of humor - well done guardian! (nearly spit out my drink when you referred to Brother Vance as a simp lmao)

[@SirKofeeGaming]

as a new player, I really needed this. I was having so much trouble understanding the story when i first started the game because it keeps throwing quest after quest at me and pushing me to play content that i have no idea what the backstory is that i just got tired of caring for the story altogether

[@meerkatattack]

This is just what I was looking for -- all that I needed. Yes, I do love deep lore. But sometimes the basic essentials of "who that guy is" is enough to not feel confused about who you are killing and why.

[@mightymikemke]

The Final Shape was really the friends we made along the way.

[@Turtledud3]

And, somehow, through literally everything that has happened, there is still one particular robot who has been sweeping one spot in the Tower clean.

[@MrDee001]

My gawd, thank you for this summary. And an entertaining one at that.

[@TheZamaron]

To quote Nebula from Guardians Of THe Galaxy 3: "You left out some important information, but that is the jist of it." Seriously this story is so fucking huge and complicated and long running you really can't tell it without either having a really long video, or you just cut out a bunch of important details to make it shorter and give a very bare bones explanation. Great vid.

[@rich2823]

I missed my wishbearer title by one cat... One Rivens Lair room I could not get to pop up for the life of me.

[@Gibson.the.labrador]

Threw on byfs video on my phone when i got in bed, enjoyed it until in fell asleep, woke up 8 hours later with the phone under my pillow and the video still on. Phone to hot to touch and nearly caught fire XD

That was fantastic! So many memories of this once great game. Many thanks.

Great video,, appreciate the tldr and loving your sense of humor

[@DougHoward-rc9qw]

Thank you for this. Love your stuff.

[@BrangeBurger]

Well done on this recap, much appreciated.

[@maxxpower9916]

Our entire history as a guardian can be summed up as "and this is *insert*, whom we promptly killed."

As a massive fallout new Vegas fan seeing you call Clovis a worse Robert House put a smile on my face

I've recently come back to destiny. I opened KZbin to search for a video like this and it was literally the second video on my home page without any search

[@wocoxv]

Just here to see what this man here is cooking when Byf has a 10 hour video for it 😂

[@kylemelendez358]

Wow i was a returning Destiny player when lightfall came out last year and since i didnt play for years i didnt even try to understand what was going on i just played for the gameplay. There was some good stuff like when i went back and played witch queen but still didnt understand everything. Watching this video(cuz i appreciate byf but im not about to try and watch a 10 hour video) has actually got me really extited for final shape for the story now as well. Thx Fallout (and Byf)

[@faex1467]

I love how we got a 20 minute version from Fallout, a 40 minute version from shadow destiny and a 10 hour version from byf

A ball arrived. A ball was caged. A ball was free again. A ball was pierced. A ball was fixed. End.

This whole thing is a love letter to space Jam and I cannot be convinced otherwise

[@johnvnuk5650]

My daughter is making me watch 10 hours of Byf because she is a lore nut 😬

So it's Mass Effect and The Lego Movie? Leviathan creates construct. Construct attempts to bring order to a chaotic universe by wielding the power of the Kragle?

[@lagomorphamage5875]

Thank you for this helpful summary!

[@WeissM89]

Suck on that, Byf! 😂 I remember your lore video about The Last Word. It was really good!

[@Honor_Omega]

destiny 2 lore: kill gods, get loot, kill more gods with loot, get better loot, kill even more gods with the better loot, and then lose to other guardians that somehow killed more gods and got more loot in one day than you got in your entire life.

This single video saved me playing destiny again

[@Brownkid422]

Where was this when i started playing destiny at the beginning of Lightfall?? Awesome to finally understand what's going on. I was honestly going to pass on playing the final shape, the gameplay loop got old for me, but this just reminded me how good the world building atmosphere actually is when it's not just hodge podge thrown together like it appears to a new light.

[@MerLew]

The Speaker was a wasted opportunity for building in some crazy conspiracies into the story.
