  • Destiny 2's Lore in the Season of the Chosen features the Presage mission, which sees us boarding a lost Cabal ship known as the Glykon. Onboard we discovered proof of Calus' experiments, the remains of a guardian called Katabasis and the remnants of an attempt to communicate with the Darkness!

    It just hit me that Ghaul's fascination with the Traveler and wanting to be "elevated and chosen" is mirrored in Calus's attempts to do the same with the Darkness.

      They both are saving the wrong master, as orxy said to akka the worm god of secrets, (paraphrased) you gave us your spawn, our worms, but it is not the nature of the deep to give, the deep demands things must be taken. This is why our worms hunger grows eternally.

      Okay I gotta ask- why salvation? Yes, it’s used exactly and precisely to describe the darkness (garden of salvation, house salvation « calus has heard the voice of salvation » the drifter calling gambit ‘a chance at salvation’ etc.) but is there any other specific meaning that salvation has?

      @@bobbersoniiv5694
      The darkness has been trying to herald itself as some kind of savior, setting us free from a Traveler that's holding us back and killing us all. It sees itself as an inevitable, ultimate truth of the universe (from the Gardener and Winnower story, told from the perspective of the Darkness/Winnower, it claims it is the embody of "Survival of the Fittest" and hence the logical endpoint of all life) that enlightens people who give in to its temptation. "Salvation" is such a common motif with anything related to the darkness, because it preaches about itself that it is the ultimate reality. People who embrace this "truth" about the Darkness are being set "free."

      @@augustcross2305 magnificent interpretation. Salvation is like freedom from suffering, just everything disappearing would be better than keep the endless wars to achieve fake peace. We live in destiny without rest, we never cease to exist, we are fight for almost 9 years in the same war to protect our "lives" and the life of people from the city. Look at the eliksni, their entire culture and home disappeared, a once cultured and glorious society now thrive to survive by scavenging systems like garbage collectors. Destiny is like living after the biblic apocalypse and like Jesus already took his people, the rest is only struggling to survive without rest. The human race in destiny is so crazy that they created an IA that shot the fucking traveler, the light entity, the life representant, he will not visit other planets till we somehow defend him from the inevitable pyramids and darkness.

    • @tsunertoo9149
      @tsunertoo9149 3 ปีที่แล้ว +86

      The scary thing is that this was foretold. In D1 it was said that a gaurdian who communed with the darkness saw his ghost growing as a rose in an infinite garden within the darkness. This suggests, to some incredibly perturbing degree, that the ghosts may not be as much of the light as we might have thought. If a ghost can be corrupted, is there anything that can't be?

    • @RubysWrath
      @RubysWrath 3 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Creepier is how you just disregard it like that. You say embrace the darkness when really it just was selfish for the first time in its existence. It spent endless time and suffering to keep its guardian alive without a thought because self sacrifice was programmed into them by the traveler. Now the darkness does what it does and granted it salvation. It opened its eyes to what it gains from the arrangement and fell to hopelessness. It felt the chains binding its fate and fell to one of the 3 fates of those who embrace the darkness. Either they fall from weakness being consumed or they are corrupted from falling too deep forgetting who they are or they are like us who slowly reach for power while retaining who we are and strive for perfection.

      I don't think Gilly was a traitor. I just think the mental toll was too much for either of them. Katabasis seemed to experience a ton of trauma from the Red War and felt let down by the traveler and Vanguard. Meanwhile Gilly was torn between his purpose to serve the light and traveler and his duty to serve Katabasis. In the end the emotional toll was too much for him and he wanted to be free.

      It can. From it we can at least learn how it can control the will of the Hive, and if possible we can break it free from the grasp of Savathûn, the Darkness, or whatever else it's linked to. If Calus learned how to repurpose the Crown, so can we. Plus we have Ikora, Eris, Osiris, and maybe even Toland to help study it.

      Constant battling against legions of scorn, constantly scrounging for things with which we can burn the scorn into oblivion. Or shattering them into pieces with the power of stasis. That would be am appropriate use of the survive objective. Or maybe even using SIVA to suspend the bodies of the scorn into a even more corrupted army, so that eventually we may control the glykon in it's entirety.

    Real talk, when destiny is eventually over if you don't find another franchise to cover, you should really look into being a voice actor for audio books or something similar.
    You have an amazing knack for storytelling and making even fairly dry or boring text readings become rich and interesting. Its one hell of a talent and I genuinely am happy that you found Destiny and decided to make this channel. There are a good handful of lore channels and I have nothing against them, but they lack your ability to tell a story.
    Anyway, I hope you are well, and hope you aren't working yourself too hard!

    What if the Enity behind the Darkness is actually the Winnower, meaning the two are not the same?
    Whenever the Darkness possesses our Ghost, it refers to itself as "we", which makes sense because it's a Fleet. But in the Unveiling lore book, the Darkness, or the Winnower here refers to itself as "I", singular. And now in Season of the Chosen, we learn that there is an Entity behind the Darkness. Isn't it far-fetched to say that this Entity is the Winnower that controls the Darkness? Let's use the Traveler for example, it's the source of the Light, but we don't think it IS the Light. We consider the Two separate. So why not the same with the Darkness?

      Then, I got carried away with this mini movie I just made up in my mind that would look super cool if I could draw amd animate it.

    Surprised the significance of his name was not stated here. Katabasis is the beginning of the arc in classical Greek story where the hero descends into the underworld to achieve his goal; it's normally supposed to be followed by a turn in fortunes, and then the Anabasis, the return from the underworld, now changed, now grown.
    It was a journey it was ultimately not his to take.
