Thanks for watching!
The joke about the head of a vex gate lord got me. How far we've come.
I’m glad there are still many
Taranis sacrificed his entire being to protect their children and In doing so this next Generation will grow up with a guiding hand that will lead them to live like taranis
I hope that's the path they do take.
As riven said, taranis did something that wasn't in the nature of ahamkaras. These dragons feed on "twisted wishes", she even said that being like that costed something to taranis...so i don't know..maybe 1 ahamkara will be like him? And we have to hunt the others?
I think I’m going to go cry now. This story was so good. There were so many emotional moments.
The grey cutscene was so amazing and felt heartbreaking! Riven before she was taking found taranis and fell for him and soon just wanted peace and quietness with him till the great hunt and oryx taking her.
Yeah this season is really good 👍 👌 😢 that cut scene hit me .
only thing i don’t like is how they look like cats
@@supahgaming8249they are shapeshifters it’s more efficient to look cat like to run on land.
Ergo the shape changed to that form to run better.
If they need to fly they can adjust their form to have wings.
So are the two buffs we get throughout the mission a reference to Taranis and Riven? One has Sire in its name and the other has Dam which could be short for Madame, and when put both together it's called the Dragon's Crown.
Yes! In the Wish-Keeper lore tab Riven is referred to and the children’s “sire” and Taranis is referred to as their “dam.”
Also what’s interesting is Riven’s buff lets you attack and Taranis’ buff protects you
Funny thing is they got it mixed up Sire is the male parent and dam is the female parent.
This. This is Destiny story telling. Great work
That cutscene had me sniffling 😢, the VA's were amazing on this one
edit: i just read the lore tab of Taranis' final message to his children and I'm bawling, so sad 😭
Where i can find it?
@@simonediamante7556 it's from the new exotic bow
Alarm bells are ringing in my head. I know the cutscene explains that WE are the Wish-keeper but the words used… Tireless Cycle, Peace, The space between, Calus used those words after he communed with the Witness.
This has no baring or proof but what if the Vex made a wish in the behest of the Witness?
Riven: “SHATTER IT”
Evaze: “pew pew”
😂
In some ways it seems like the events of the Taken King were the catalyst to many changes in this timeline that makes it different from the multiple timelines that Exo-Stranger have lived in her past. Kudos to the original writers of the Taken King expansion and the people who have been using that story now as an extension.
This is actually some of the best Bungie storytelling
12:20 So... We had a Ahamkara that didn't fuck up those who wished to him and the poor dude died like a Giga Chad, protecting his children? F for Taranis.
rivens mate voice is amazing holy shit
A Ahamkara's power is like that of fire.
It gives heat and warmth, but consumes all to grant it. But if a flame is used upon fire, it smothers itself out, ceasing to be.
So they retconned uldren giving riven to mara as an egg?
No. She was just free to roam the dreaming city before the ahamkara hunt
@@sethherrin45 and uldren supposedly gave her riven after the hunt. Mara hid her away in the dreaming city cause of the hunt.
Something confuses me if he “ceased to exist” then why could he talk through crow ahemkara persist after death so did he die physically or did he hit persist after death?
I think he completely ceased to exist but since time doesn't work the same way in the Black Garden this both simultaneously happened before he died and when we found his Wish-Keeper.
@@rytr0nious thats a possibility but tbh I’ve always wondered if there is an afterlife in destiny it seems so because the inside of the traveler seems to have the conciseness of every living thing
@@wiskerfall4519 ahamkaras basically can still grant and speak through even though they have long passed. Considering the black garden is out of time and space it makes sense
Don't the Exotics that are made of Ahamkara bones whisper to its users from the lore? At least that's what I thought. Could be similar.
@@Xerodmexactly, that’s definitely gotta be a big part of it
Riven being so one dimensionally selfish she couldnt even fathom that an Ahamkara could have saved her eggs was a nice twist. So ingrained is their apparent personality that even her own mate being altruistic didnt cross her mind.
i really liked this exotic mission and the lore good job bungie
5:06
Riven: SHATTER IT!!!!
" Proceed to shoot it once before not giving a fuk"
How is called that ship you are using? I loved it!
beautiful~, simply beautiful.
Anyone else abuse sun bracers by burning those wyverns to death
WHOA !!
I feel so bad that we helped kill them off. No wonder Riven is pissed and playing with us.
they literally fed on us and the awoken. can't be too mad about it.
Bro the ahamkara didnt deserve their fate. All they did was grant wishes. It was the wish barers that made the dragons dangerous due to greed n power. Justice4theAhamkara!
you're trolling right? Riven is the normal type of ahamkara, Taranis is the exception. they literally eat better the more they can twist a wish to backfire
Soooo, Taranis is a good ahamkara and wished for us to be his children's guardian. I have mixed feelings about this.
Think we saw Taranis in a witch queen mission.
You mean from the Throne World?
@@Jakesterpop1 Yeah.
Nope it’s riven
@@Dogge2698 Riven doesn’t have those spikes on her face plates where Taranis does
I seem to be the only one who didn't like the cutscene that much. Guess I just found the ahamkara more interesting as less life-like creatures than with mates, love and playfulness like cats.
they were biological from the get-go, they have bones. I see what you mean but if they worked that way they'd be harder to depict.
A male wish dragon?
Now we know 2 male wish dragons
@@punchline1729 But the question is, how did Savathun acquire one of Taranis' eggs from the Black Garden?
@@Jakesterpop1throne worlds have linkage to the ascendant plane to which the lay lines are connected. She may have discovered it when taranis casted the eggs out
Very cool backstory.
And now we learn that Crow has a male companion. Bungie devs just couldn't help themselves, could they? 😆
This community has a serious problem with understanding the basic concept of what a friend is...
@@Gr4veM1nd you'll eat these words before The Final Shape starts.
And Crow will eat...well, you'll see.
I swear they try their hardest to make humans seem like the bad guys. It’s getting a little old.
Uh kinda are like tenno's
Because humans are the worst
Yah we are horrible just look at real life evil corporations money hungry do I have to say more
Look at real life. Its happening right now.
@@Resolute.j WOAH BIDEO GAME JUST LIKE REAL LIFE
I personally found the story to not hit at all. The way Ahamkara were explained with mating by Riven herself was that it was more transactional than anything. Which is why it confuses me why after all she has done I’m supposed to think she liked another Ahamkara. Not only that but the fact that Ahamkara granted wishes without some trick makes me care even less for Riven and the other Ahamkara because they obviously COULD grant wishes without the negatives but we’re apparently wrong for killing off the Ahamkara even though they were more destructive by existing than helpful. I know there’s the whole “it’s their nature” but what makes everything admirable and good is by going against that nature.
Great they gumna make crow bi now whoopie freakin do
So you peeped that too. Saint 14 first. Now when we see Crows character development now he’s a poop pusher too.
@@the_two-way1181 meh saint and the Phoenix fit each other well crow on the other hand has sever mommy/sister issues and is definitely more inclined towards women
You must love making these wild-ass assumptions with nothing to back it up for internet brownie points...
@@the_two-way1181Why are bigots so gross?
@@Gr4veM1nd why are most liberals grooming pedos the world may never know
I was not ready to get emotionally wrecked. Can you imagine Ahamkara frolicking all over the dreaming city like cats?
I can.
Yessir, I can. But still the cut scene hit right in the feels.
cats that will play merrily with you or eat you and you never really know which
Taranis for the W. For some reason, his story hits. Let us be his Wishkeeper
U simping for Riven?
@@cakemanjefferson9893 hell yea,, i have a thing for dragons
@@jrmatix😎🤝😎
Anyone else feel bad for Riven and Taranis, all they wanted to do live out their lives peacefully, until the Great Hunt and then Oryx happened.
Read the lore of the great hunt, Riven and Mara created the plan for Riven to be the last, Riven not only helped devise the plan, she assisted by making weapons capable of killing the dragons
Taranis was doomed, because he fell in love with a feminazi
Bro is definitely takes the mantle for dad of the year
More like Dad of the millennium. He sacrificed his own soul, just to save his kids.
@@sunbreakerqueenofbronze621 facts
And in doing so will be the reason we Win the war in Light vs Darkness. Everyone lives except him. Ultimate Sacrifice… So Guardian Dragon anyone? He’s earned it!
@@IamDustinuNoob remember how Hive Lightbearers don't need to kill to feed their worms because the Light covers the cost of it? Now imagine a reality-warping dragon + Light. Highly OP, I kind of wonder if the writers will have to come up with a reason for it to not be possible. Maybe something that's already born paracausal can't be given the Light, or Ghosts don't see the point in it?
@@xXx_Regulus_xXx Awoken guardians exist, so paracausal beings can receive the light.
For some reason I feel like Taranis fits the Guardian creed. It would be interesting to have a Lightbearer Ahamkara.
If he would be reborn as a human.
Just imagine a Ahamkara firing infinite Nova Bombs out its mouth
Also your not wrong.
Devotion inspires bravery bravery inspires sacrifice sacrifice leads to death.
to my understanding, they're able to come pretty damn close to it already 😂
@@Jakesterpop1no their is no classification, a disciple of the light was a leviathan gaurding the worms gods in fundement.
wouldn't be possible as Taranis paid the ultimate sacrifice with his own wish and it cost him his existence
This reminded me of the God of War quest "Song of the Sands", which explored the hardships of parenthood, this is very similar, at least to me.
To say I cried inside is the least I could say. This story was so well done.
The funny thing for though is I partially created this segment! As a fan fiction! Riven's mate who unlike Ahamkara loved, and cherished those who wished to him, I came up with this idea to create the same soothing thoughts this very story did. I came up, though, with the idea of his direct contact to us, asking that we protect the eggs, so that the young will not suffer for the sins of the whole race.
Although that last segment of my version didn't happen the same way, and my version of Taranis was based in my favorite latin chants, the one we got is too similar still, and I love it.
I am very happy with this season, I may dislike bungie for all the right reasons we all do, but I shall never lend even a touch of malice towards the ones who work so hard to deliver this story.
My only...wish...is that we can fully grant Taranis's wish, and protect these eggs. To give the Ahamkara a second chance.
I am possibly the only one here sentimental enough to want such a thing to come to pass, but I shall not weaken in that one resolve. I want the Ahamkara to come back, better than they were before, to stride happily with us in the light.
I almost thought Bungie was going to have us watch Wish Dragon snu snu. 😆
Death....BY SNU SNU!!!
Kinda reminds me of the Red Riven like Ahamkara we fight in the one Witch Queen mission we we retrieve Savathuns Worm.
You think that's what Taranis looked like?
@@lunar_the_spacehog6876 Might be, perhaps also the way savathun got one of those eggs
@@duran99adam or they were purposefully ended up there
That’s riven but not actually riven. Savathûn made a deal with riven and in doing so seen her. She made the illusion in Rivens image. This is nothing but an illusion to protect the worm from intruders. It can do damage in the real world but it isn’t real like most things in her throne world
I have always loved Riven as a character. and this cutscene just wrecked me, i love her even more. she is just playing into her nature but i think by the end of this season we will find her more like taranis than she realizes
The way shaxx talk about it at the final bone in the dungeon (warlords ruin) changed my view alot, and with this story i almost feel dumbstruck. The content this season really is a doozy, and a good one at that👍
@@christianeriksen4496same. It shows shaxx someone who we thought possibly enjoyed the great hunt regretted and hated every second of it. It wasn’t for power it was as the ahamkaras nature to twist wishes. Was good to see somewhat the taking of riven with oryx too. I really hope the new generation of ahamkara learn from there past and possibly even take on there fathers way of life to keep there kind alive.
I'm beginning to feel sorry for Riven. Her mate sacrificed his life to save their children when she was taken by Oryx.
It’s kinda fucked when you think ab it, taranis was the only ahamkara (aside from hefnd kinda) that valued their wishers, and riven said he took some of the wishes burden upon himself, but the vanguard and reef were gonna kill him anyway. The great hunt was in part a mistake, as it led to riven having to be trapped within the city, which led to her being taken, which led to the curse on the city
@@harrisonyoung3857can't feel bad about Riven
She sold her species out, not out of fear, but to hide away from others, the great hunt was a plan Riven helped devise, she worked with Mara by creating weapons to kill dragons (season of the witch states Xivu struggled with the dragons, and Xivu was the God of War when it happened)
Riven also knew what the result would be by helping Mara build her throne world and the raid
Taranis died from feminism
@@Bustuhhwhere in the game is this stated?
@@adamboy0559 it's in the lore, look up videos about Riven and the great hunt
Mara wanted a power only she could have, Riven was to be the last of her kind due to Maras desire, and so Riven helped
@@Bustuhh yeah but there’s a lot and I know like 99% of it but iv never heard of this
Savathun probably found her egg in her throne world. Remember that the throne world's lay in the ascendant plane which connects with the lay lines. Either that or she was deemed worthy of protecting that egg so it came to her
So it's confirmed that the egg found last season is one of the eggs of riven?
@@simonediamante7556 highly implied but we haven't heard from riven herself that it is
@@chrisreilly1290 was it green? Because i remember was different from others, but maybe im wrong
@@simonediamante7556 was the egg green? No, it looks just like the other ones this season
@@chrisreilly1290 don't know why i remember it green lol
Credit earned is credit due. Good work story team at Bungie this is some of the best story I've seen in a minute in Destiny and honestly makes me want to fire the game back up.
this and the dungeon story are really well done, it's like a completely different team than whoever wrote lightfall and a lot of story beats in the past couple of years.
So I'm curious: What is the significance of Riven's mate being named Taranis? Every Ahamkara’s name alludes to what they do and has a connection to the real world(Hefnd meaning revenge, this is the Ahamkara who cursed the House of Kings, Riven meaning split, alluding to the Awoken'a nature, etc.) Taranis is the Celtic god of thunder and is depicted with a wheel typically, yet I can't find any allusion to that with the Ahamkara, Taranis.
Maybe the wheel could represent how he put the continuation of his species before his own life?
Wikipedia mentions the Wheel specifically a Chariot Wheel was apparently an important historic symbol for Celtic polytheism. It was used for tons of stuff including burial rituals and even had coins with the symbol on it.
Hmm interesting I also don't see how this fits.
Justice for the Ahamkara
Another reason I'm glad we killed Oryx.
3 ahamkara's in one season! Dragon overload!
Bungie Better get rights from Bethesda to play the dovahkiin theme soon lol
This cutscene actually made me shed a tear for riven almost make me feel we didn't do the Great Hunt.
Taranis' mentality towards wish bearers makes me hopeful for the hatched Ahamkara. They may inherit his nature of wanting to help and protect those who wish upon them. He even convinced Riven for a short time to think like him. Maybe friendly ally dragons are still possible
7:11 that was a fun call back lol
"Twas I who f***** the Dragon."
that final cutscene with taranis sacrificing himself was very moving and it makes me never want to put the bow down.
If i could make my guardian speak she would say "I will protect them for you taranis, The ahamkara will be safe, every last one."
Lol, best love story in game is between two dragons
Riven... This is a new level of sad..
Taranis, the best father in destiny..
Why were they even hunted, even if they managed to live peacefully with the awoken.
Fear, sane reason genocide is always committed, even control itself is a poisonous fruit of fear itself.
No wonder Taranis was afraid of Oryx.
The ahamkara were pretty evil and dangerous, sure they lived peacefully with the awoken, until they cursed it and doomed everyone in it to eternal torture, taranis was an exception
@@minial0015 riven made the curse because she was taken, and killed.
if she wasn't corrupted, it could have been different.
@@minial0015 But not all Guardians want to make peace with dragons. We mastered what the Witness taught us. While Stasis makes us giving into control, Strand lets us accept the ebb and the flow of the river.
Wow. That’s a far better story than I could have ever imagined. I love it
So…doesn’t this mean Riven becoming a major threat to humanity and the Awoken…was humanity and the Awoken’s fault? Huh. Hmm.
The great hunt was a mistake, some ahamkara needed to die, but Taranis didn’t deserve it, and maras selfish motivation to have a unique power in riven inadvertently led to the dreaming city curse
I like how we have wish-keeper to symbolize that we will help the ahamkara to survive and we have wish-ender thats ment to destroy them, great symbolism here bungie!
Here is a question and a thought. Who is gonna raise the eggs? you cant really let them run wild. They would possibly be exploited by someone smarted than Mara. Cant let Mara raise them. She's way too devious. I say Shaxx. Let him raise the eggs.
What gun are you using?
The callback to the “head of a vex gate lord” from mars in destiny 1 is really cool
Fr, it brought me back to d1 with nice nostalgia😁
The star-crossed mission is a real pain
it’s easy wym
LFG and you should go through it easily
Sunshot helps a lot for the final boss
Its the 3 passage ways with the ahamhsra sparks with no respawn. All most had but couldn't get out if the line of fire from the last wyvern
@@soundeaffect what worked for me was a strand titan with banner of war, tractor cannon, and a one-two punch shotgun.
this is such an interesting and fleshed-out take on dragons and wishes. I've said this for years, it's really a shame Destiny doesn't have novels like Halo did. The game doesn't do it for me anymore but sometimes the writers really knock it out of the park
The only thing we have are the grimoire books..but it's nothing new
Riven in THOSE STREETS
Kinda interesting, it looks like they wish their offspring into existence, and since they can't grant their own wishes, they need a mate to grant each others wishes for children.
evaze what if xavathun mislead tharanis into fully believing with riven now partially taken that instead of using a wish to save her saving the eggs would be more beneficial as part of her plan against the witness should the time come? that would explain how she had an egg in secret and why she had a hand in guiding us in this direction through the story line, she knew of taranis but said nothing in order for us not to discover the eggs earlier on until it played into her hands.
Be honest, I never agreed with ahramkaram hunt, like I know they feed on wishes but there must be other solution then kill them.
My guardian (me) outlook
“May you take both paths of your parents young dragons, like your mother be as adept and cunning in twisting one’s wish but be as kind and fair as your father”
Fair in the sense - give them warning , ask if they are truly willing.
Twist a wish if it fills your belly.
So the hunt were the ones that did bad stuff. They didnt deserved this. They just lived their own peaceful life. Also... when i saw the footage at the end... these creatures more look like xenomorphs rather then wyverns tbh.
I see Evaze is a Gryfalcon's Hauberk user, which is absolutely based.
Thanks for making this video. My fireteam leader skipped the cutscene and I had no idea what happened
Maybe the vex did it on purpose, maybe this is all just part of a design. "Oh we failed! Oh you found something. Oh nooo."
with an enemy as intelligent as the Vex it's possible, but these ones in particular work for the Witness.
Ha i liked the subtle reference to the D1 gate lord mission
This is good storytelling good job bungie
It is always the last season with the most gut wretching emotional cutscenes
I didn’t expect to cry but wow this is the saddest Destiny story ever… 😢
Im so jealous of Taranis. Doesnt know how lucky he is.
Bungie writers going crazy making dragon porn.
So by time of the taken king there were 2 living ahamkara
I need that title Wish-Keeper now
that vex gatelord reference caught me off guard
One last wish made out of love not wrath
That was an interesting mission indeed
I cried I f**ken cried 😢
In the cutscene we can see 7 eggs. How many eggs we have now?
Five we have, only two left
I'm a failure as a guardian.... I'm still stuck on the first weeks egg quest "polysemy" 😂
What a brilliant story.
Did anyone else notice Taranis resembles the Ahamkarah Illusion from that one quest in Witch Queen? Has me raising an eyebrow at Savathun.
Sorry guys but im back playing the game after a loong time.why oryx have corrupted riven? And why she accepted it?
When riven says “who stole my cluch who was it” I’m calling it. It was the witness and it knew she would not help the vanguard if her eggs were gone.
This is where Destiny shines so much! Awesome cutscene!
Can’t help to feel that most guardians are evil.
4:18 new subtype mentioned in dialog maybe 🤔
Yea the guardians were the bad ones here lol
It made me cry I’m surprised
This single cutscene carries more emotion than the entirety of Lightfall and all Lightfall seasons up till now. Including this season.
I’m not crying you are
That's a beautiful story
I can't wait to play this week's mission. Samus had 2 that made a sacrificed such as this. The baby, and Adam.
A Metroid reference? Seems a bit random but I welcome it
