[@koizumiizumi5426]

4:11 you have some lore errors, SIVA wasnt going out of control, The iron lords were trying to gaina cess to SIVA thru information that Lord Felwinter had gleamed from Seraph bunkers after rasputin had started hunting him. Felwinter wanted to know the reason why rasputin was hunting him, and Rasputin used SIVA as a trap to finally kill Felwinter, which aslo destroyed his fellow Iron Lords, which the Iron Lords wanted to use SIVA to help rebuild humanity, since SIVA could be used to literally build cities overnight, which it was hinted at doing in the Golden Age. SpiderMan venom isnt a good desciption of SIVA either, it's a nanite, micro machines. Rasputin did not Alert the Iron Lords, as previously stated, the Iron Lords learned the location of SIVA thru the Seraph bunkkers that Felwinter could access, and wanted to Harness it themselves.

Had the same with Oryx and the Dreadnaught. Compared to those two raids, Wrath always felt for me like an empty hollow raid that became a xtc trip on a rave.

This was the first raid I ever did. I started playing D1 when Wrath was new and the entire vibe of this raid is unforgettable. My clan had been playing before and their favorite was Kings Fall, but something about Wrath will always stick with me

Soundtrack; Top Tier, Great bosses, Amazing design and honestly my favourite raid in all of Destiny

WOTM is my 2nd favorite raid, but deep stone crypt takes the cake, soundtrack, encounters, and setting, but my god aksis is just beautiful and the best encounter of all destiny history.

[@pyrobite8463]

Wrath has to be my favorite raid, the first time I ran through it literally every encounter was clutched at the end by a different person each time, the whole aesthetic of the raid is by far the coolest in my opinion besides having my favorite boss, Aksis

[@Wakkas]

54:21 clusters and thermites are amazing because Aksis is a spider tank. Meaning he has ONE giant hitbox NOT multiple. He actually is one big rectangle. So long as MOST of the length of the thermite hits MOST of the rectangle, you will be getting max damage. His legs for clusters only will help by making sure ALL clusters hit his rectangle hit box. Left leg is strats to guarantee most of the clusters hit simply because of how clusters spawn with hitboxes or walls around it. If you cant hit his left leg, shoot at his neck so the clusters will hit his ONE rectangle hitbox.

[@valzicplayz3845]

Why are Fallen raids so Good, Unique, and *Fun* - Wrath of the Machine: good raid armor/weapons, rememberable bosses with unique boss rooms and encounters, and my god for me the best exotic quest in all of Destiny history *Outbreak Prime* - Scourge of the Past: in the City, had a nice new mechanic added to Destiny 2 with a hollow map, a race track aka *SRL OF DEATH,* being able to use tanks in the raid against the boss it self is just fun, and the boss room isnt a room your outside and you fight the boss outside while climbing buildings.

[@VanpyroGaming0]

Fallen were the first race concepted for the game, and the first we meet on Earth. The lore of the Fallen also lends to the creative raids that Bungie come up with considering they aren't as limited by the Hive's swors logic, or the Cabal imperialsm. The vex are also like the fallen with the Black Garden and Vault of Glass.

[@valzicplayz3845]

@@VanpyroGaming0 no the Vex are basically the Hive, collect motes and bank or use an artifact; the hive are use an artifact or stand on plates, *cabal stand on fucking plates* The Fallen is kill this add to use this weapon to kill this add to damage the boss, destory a TV or kill this add, grab the motes to bank them to get a tank while your team destorys certain spots, so players with a tank can stagger the boss with tank, then DPS. Now Last Wish is more of a Taken Raid then Hive or Cabal or Vex, and that Taken feel as creative as the Fallen if done legit.

[@cadeptt]

@@valzicplayz3845 None of them are that sterotyped.

[@valzicplayz3845]

@@cadeptt yes they are, when have you ever killed a raid boss without having to stand on a Plate or use an Artifact for Hive, Vex, or Cabal To DPS Calus you need to grab orbs, kill enemies on plates, then stand on plates Spire of Stars you need to grab orbs, stand on plates so someone can see the symbols, stand on plates so you can charge up the orb, stand on plates, throw balls at calus, DPS. Vault of Glass a good raid but grab an artifact to DPS the boss or stand on plates to get the artifact to....DPS the boss. Crota kill a knight with a artifact aka sword kill Crota. Warpriest *STAND ON PLATES to get the thing to DPS the boss* Golgoroth from TTK shoot his sack of unused cum then stand in it which is basically STAND ON PLATES to get that extra damage. Orxy Daughters and Orxy STAND ON PLATES grab a orb to slam/steal a rift from a knight so you can be protected from blights that are basically orbs that DPS the boss aka ORXY. Oh and the Raid for Curse of Osiris use an Artifact aka Vex head to ghost buster the shit out of the elements so you could DPS the boss. Heck 1 of the raid boss for Last Wish which is the first 1 is just another Warpriest, stand on plates, kill this, DPS, *HIDE* Atleast Garden of Salvation is a little bit different.

[@valzicplayz3845]

@Raid Banner dude a Scorn raid would be cool bc we never got a Pirate Raid, the Fallen are suppose to be Pirates but lets be real their not they feel like they have a sense in nobility especially in the Destiny 2 Fallen design look more clean and fresh. But the Scorn act more like bandits/pirates especially the design they have looks more like a bandit/pirate then the current Fallen. They even use the stuff they scavage like Cabal missiles, or Hive ammunition like what the Baron with the sniper had who killed Cayde ghost.

@@youraveragehotdog6836 You say some of these things like ROI didn't do it as well. The Cosmodrome was just painted white with snow. The Plaguelands were new sure, but that was it. Also you can't say that Rise had old enemies then go and say it didn't relay on old enemies. Lets not act like Divinity and Xenophage didnt make a difference for raiding or even nightfalls. Then we go to finally see our first Pyramid Ship in game not just a cutscene. So that was our new and original story of that DLC. We've never seen the Darkness itself do anything until that point.

Qwerty Bastard Siva changed the fallen? It was a reskin at best, with slightly different weapons. We’ve never gotten a new type of enemy in destiny history, it’s always just been reskins with slightly different weapons.

[@chargles301]

Baconthanos scorn were a completely new enemy type and taken while being the same models as previous enemy’s had a completely different play style attacks and weapons and new lore.

[@Xn2th3blue]

@@chargles301 The exact same can also be said about the Splicers. They were originally Fallen, yes, but once SIVA was introduced, they became different enemies with different attacks and behaviors, different weapons, different mechanics in some instances, and plenty of new lore with them too. My only issue with the enemies as we've had it in the Destiny franchise thus far is that it feels like too much focus has been put on the Hive. Yes, each enemy type has had their time to shine a bit, but the Hive have been the focal point of most of Destiny and at times it just feels like the other enemies are fillers, more or less. We've lacked further development on both Splicers and Skorn. They didn't just disappear, but their stories came to a sudden halt. Splicers don't even exist within Destiny 2, and that doesn't add up in my book. Why has one of the favorite storylines and enemy types of many people not received more attention? With how we've had a Warmind DLC and then a whole season focused on Rasputin, and so many references in lore, ships, sparrows, ornaments, and weapons tied to SIVA, why wasn't there a re-emergence of Splicers?

ive only ever played the Vault of Glass and Crota's End (and i guess Leviathan but it was like a year ago and i barely remember it and i was super under leveled and carried by my team so i dont really count it.) sherpa-ing players through the Vault and Crota were some of the best memories i have, alongside sparrow-glitching into unreleased DLC areas and running around in Crucible with the no gun glitch. i honestly didnt mind Crota's End nearly as much as some, its simplicity made it a lot easier to get into and a lot more enjoyable for newer players, so as someone who didnt have many friends to play raids with (and still dont....) and had to go with randoms all the time, being able to easily explain things to the newer players i often played them with was really nice. despite it being years ago, i still remember those two raids like the back of my hand. (i just wish i had managed to get a Gjallarhorn before it was nerfed into the floor...i never got ANY of the year 1 meta weapons during year 1, and quit Destiny altogether around the time Taken King came out. i regret that decision now, but i was, like, 15? 16? i dunno, you lose track of time once you work full time in a fast food kitchen.) my FAVORITE Destiny memory though, comes from playing the Open Beta with my friend. we were doing the Devil's Lair strike, and had just killed the Devil Walker, onto which i promptly jumped and started dancing. My friend moved on through the door to move on through the strike, when the Walker exploded beneath me. rather than killing me, the explosion launched me upward at an insane velocity, i bounced off the skybox and plummeted back to earth at a similarly high velocity, then died of fall damage, all in about a half of a second. I die of laughter, as my buddy turns around to see me dead wondering "what the heck just happened?!" and it is, and always will be, my favorite moment from Destiny.

Don’t get me wrong Wrath of the Machine was absolutely fantastic, but nothing will hit me harder than my friends and I first run of the Taken King. Wrath of the Machine further extended that great experience, however the sheer scale of the Taken King was insane. In addition, I miss starting Destiny 2 fresh, and it showed all of your old raid completions on Destiny 1 with your respective fire teams. Both of these games had generated a lot of good memories, those of which I want to remember for years to come. Also pretty excited for Beyond the Light, can’t wait.

[@TheArtificialGaming]

If you ever want to see that again. In the character selection screen I believe it's the bottom right view legacy or something like that

[@mr_alxha]

Alex callahan Really?! I always wondered if I could see that again, just for old times sake, thanks.

[@bestwaifu3852]

A great raid for sure. I think the only complaint I had about it was the weapon designs; simply being reskins of normal vendor guns with some siva wires. Wish they were designed more like Fallen weapons with the siva stuff. They kinda went backwards in that department from what they had put out the year before in Taken King, which gave unique weapons. Hell, even Crota's guns were more unique than what WotM had lol

[@ghostymotion0000]

44:20 my phone died on the skit i was like wtf is siva real

[@kylenickloes6087]

My most favorite raid was Kings Fall. The mechanics were so different and the first ever final stand blew my breath away. The story of this raid was insane and the music for each encounter just made it so much better and also letting Morgeth be the tankiest boss imaginable! The guns were also my favorite and the way they looked was perfect. I will also say wrath was my favorite too, but I just like how long and hard some of the encounters were on Kings Fall and how so many people died at warpreist and morgeth and even Orxy. It was a challenge and a hard one at that and same goes to Wrath of the machine, but it was too quick pace for me and I like the pace, but also want a challenge.

[@nickg8100]

The fact that we got CE instead of WotM is just shameful on bungie

[@rickyjohnson5991]

These raid nostalgia videos are great! Brings back so many memories. I can’t believe I forgot about a lot of these mechanics and even some of the encounters! Well done with this series.

[@user-BadUsername]

17:10 were you playing the mantis lords boss theme?

[@azcatriz]

Oh he most definitely was

[@angelulloa7407]

Dude, you're getting so good at making these videos! Awesome as always. Keep up the good work ❤

[@Sweet7Montana]

When raids were fun and not just a chore to get X exotic, but had actually good loot.

[@dadecalder7796]

God i just hate revive tokens. Its hard enough as is to get enough time to revive someone without getting shitstomped by trash mobs or the boss. It just artificially inflates the difficulty. Raids are already hard, between wipes and just trying to keep your team alive at all, restricting your ability to push through is just extra

[@CarlosEduardo-rf8wl]

@@dadecalder7796 D1's hard mode raids don't have revives at all so why are you bitching

[@Sweet7Montana]

Yeah but at the same time D1 had normal AND hardmode. Normal mode was to learn the mechanics and get a team through it casually, while hardmode was for a challange. Wish that was the case in D2 so the raiding community wasn't as toxic..

[@CarlosEduardo-rf8wl]

@@Sweet7Montana no, normal mode was never about casual runs. in fact raiding was never meant to be casual, hence the reason it's called "endgame content" revive tokens is one of the best mechanics Bungie has ever introduced to us and made the raids much more challenging and fun, requiring full fire team sinergy to revive multiple dead allies instead of just waiting 30sec to revive Everytime someone dies like in D1

[@Sweet7Montana]

@@CarlosEduardo-rf8wl That is not true. Normal mode was ment to make it so people could acces endgame in a casual sense. Hardmode was for those who wanted to bring their A game. Even if it wasn't ment to be casual, people went into normal mode and got it done to just enjoy an activity. Tokens being fun or not is subjective, some people like it like you and others don't. All I am saying is D1 had at least 2 modes for 2 types of players, while D2 just has one.

[@syn_thostm7158]

I just noticed that one of my friends on xbox is Aksis Bake. I wondered why he kept doing WoTM by himself. Wow.

[@JustSheroz]

That good friend who went asleep. I heard a rumor he's still sleeping.

[@jusblue1495]

Not sure if you still read these comments but wow. Such good videos. I have been binge watching today. I love how you cover everything from mechanics to races and sprinkle in a little of the story/lore. Also the walk down memory lane and nostalgia has been so wonderful!

[@wetpigeon]

Anyone else mad that he pronounced “Eliksni” as “L-S-Kini”?

[@soldado23]

No, because human do mistakes. Do you?

[@wetpigeon]

soldado23 Ok but that doesn’t even sound right. There is no S before the K

[@jackofallgods7764]

no because im not a child who gets mad at stupid shit

[@Larry_02]

EVAN ITS L-IKS-NI

[@honeybadgerzombie1159]

Wrath was always my favorite, I didn’t get my personal copy of D1 until late taken king going into rise of iron (I was watching what was going on since the start, I just couldn’t afford it lol), so it was the raid that I first hardcore lfg’d for, the raid I ran the most times, and the raid with the exotic quest that to this day is my proudest destiny achievement. I’m glad you could elaborate in this excellent way what a treasure wrath was, even if not everyone was willing to see what it was worth to start

[@wyboycowboy]

Right but the controversy over Wrath being "well they showed footage so its an unfair advantage" makes zero sense because anybody could see that video with the footage. Is it really an advantage if everybody can see the material? I'd argue not.

[@wyboycowboy]

@@skylerrains8493 No it really didn't actually. Showing people that you had to jump off the ledge AFTER the encounter did not show people how to do the encounter.

[@beefmonstr4644]

RainFall It didn’t show a single mechanic.

[@ohanlon86]

Crota was my favourite raid, first one I ever completed and I got Fang of Ir Yut scout and decided to level up two more characters using that scout.

“The touch of malice. The weapon that touched us. The weapon that maliced Destiny forever.”

[@TheComfyGeek]

Vault of Glass still holds a special place for me. It was the first time me and friends spent hours upon hours trying to clear. Then months of grinding for exotics and weapons. I legit loved every encounter and it could be knocked out in a couple hours with a good team. (Not talking about speed running, but just good play) It was a sad day when I had no reason to run VoG because I got every drop.

[@dankerbell]

scourge of the past and wrath of the machine should've swapped names, change my mind

[@aj_darkblade]

Great video Evan! I love all these breakdown/recap videos you do across the franchise. Also a raid ranking video would be nice from you. Your video quality speaks for itself bro

[@aaron_ow]

Best raid imo. The whole raid felt like a meme and a joyride at the same time

[@InkyLily_]

This is my favorite raid besides the Leviathan Raids. I honestly can't wait for this raid to be redone in destiny 2
