Destiny 2 Forsaken Lore - The messages Cayde left for his killers! Ace in the Hole mission! 

"But if it was Uldren, I'm pissed. Just thinking about that peacock gives me a headache" Oh Cayde.....

The saddest part of Cayde's stash recordings is that To his death he had thought that Zavala and Ikora never truly saw him as their friend and had thought he was alone to the very end

"Any last words?" "How's your sister?" Cayde died the way he lived, inflicting sick burns

His message to Ikora really got me. He really thought she didn’t like him and if only he knew that it was Ikora who was ready to go to war for him.

The last chest for our guardian always gets me. *”Every story has an end...”* *”This is mine”*

It was so sad to me - that Cayde couldn't see just how much Ikora valued him as a friend.

"Every story has an end... and this one's mine..." Even a year later, it hurts. I miss you Cayde. You were taken too soon...

its also sad that when you finish ace of spade quest and return to banshee, he will usually mention "dont forget cayde", after a while of his dialog, he will say, Hey wheres cayde? his havent been around much. damm thats hit my heart

The way Cayde gets so real talking to Ikora. “I knew you’d be in the right.”

Seeing how Cayde-6 thought everyone hated him is absolutely and truly heartbreaking.

Can we appreciate how Cayde legit thought that Hawthorne, a normal human, could permanently kill him? That’s some respect right there.

When I finished the caydes will quest line, and got my AoS from banshee, banshee immediately said "have you seen cayde around?". Broke me.

Every like is a salute to cayde-6

“Every story has an end, this is mine.” -Cayde 6

Now I understand what Cayde meant by Long-Slow-Whisper. In the Deep Stone Crypt the darkness statue actually produces an eerie whispering when you stand below it.

12:23 “I always gotta have the last word” FORESHADOWING INTENSIFIES

Cayde 6: *died* Me: *whispering* hey... take me with you

How's your sister? -Cayde-6

“Just wish I could be there to see it.” -Cayde’s message to Tanikks. Don’t worry man, we got him for ya

" I'm coming home ace " 2 years on and it still hits hard

Anyone who was here since the d1 beta, gather and we shall respect our fallen brother

What gets me is that Cayde honestly thought Ikora didn't like him, that she didn't consider him her friend. When in reality, Cayde was probably her closest friend after the fallout with Osiris. You don't call for razing the entire Reef to ashes over a mere aquaintance after all. I just hope that, if there is an afterlife in Destiny, Cayde was finally able to learn just how much he meant to Ikora

I feel the missed opportunity for at least hunters to put on Cayde's cloak, with all the implications for it...

He's been dead for 2 years already, and it still hurts like hell.

"This is for the strongest,silent type...You" *Crying out loud*

Cayde-6: Every story has an end...this is mine. Me: *Cries violently*

As a titian, I never saw Zavala as my vanguard representative. Both he and Ikora were always so serious, so quite, and so resolute and determined. While these features are essential in a leadership position, you also need to know how to smile, laugh, and relax. Cayde-6 embodied all of this and more. He was the air beneath the wings of the last city, the joy that could be felt through her streets as the days bustled on, and the happy content peacefulness of the empty and quite streets as the moon rose and shone brightly on humanities one last vestige of safety. As a kid, I saw Cayde-6 as the hero he was, lifting the city, it's people, and the guardians that protected them to new heights. He knew how and when to make us laugh, he knew when he should be serious, and he knew how much the last city meant to everyone. He protected not only the city, but the hope it represented with his last and dying breath. I like to believe that when that cold lead ended his life that fateful day, that as his light was snuffed out, it brought the hope, determination, and fire to new rising guardians. This new light would serve as a reminder, nay a promise, that when darkness feels all consuming, that when fear strikes into the hearts of the innocent, and the good, that a shining light, a beacon of hope and virtue will rise to the occasion. Cayde's death may have sunken the tower, the last city, and every guardians heart deep into an abyss like none other, but in his death he serves as a beacon to aspire to. We guardians should strive to be as good, as noble, and as righteous as Cayde. This is why forever and always, I will see Cayde as the vanguard that best represents not only myself, but us all. For when humanity is in it's darkest hour, Its bleakest of moments, it isn't our light, our power, or our vaults of weapons that will see us through, it is our hope, our ideals, and our inner light. Cayde understood this, he saw the finite aspects of life, and accepted them. He saw the demons that crawled forth from the black pits of hell, and fought them with every ounce of his being. He saw the threats that surrounded him, and yet through all of this, through the pain, the sorrow, and the unknown, he held hope for the last city, for his fireteam, for the guardians, and for humanity. As the light died out in Cayde's eyes, a fire was lit within our guardians souls, it serves as a reminder to always burn bright, not only for ourselves, but those who are absent. Cayde-6 may be lost, but he will never be forgotten. May the waves of time wash over us, but never erode the name, the legacy, and the memory of Cayde-6. Those who are lost, are never truly lost, they are merely removed form our physical world. To lose someone completely is to forget them. Those who are remembered and honored, truly are immortal in the eyes of the world around them. Never forgotten, always remembered, Cayde-6.

This is why I am chewing through "Cayde's Will", he's a character I fell in love with. Hell, even feel obligated to make sure I get his Hand Cannon, if only to see if it is as good for me as the SunShot ;)

The only proper goodbye I can think of for a western revenge story in Destiny: See You Space Cowboy.

9:00 The Chicken is also where Cayde-6 was suppose to be at the Tower. Just walking around, looking for Cayde-6

I think its so heartbreaking that he thought zavala and ikora didn't like him, makes ikoras words after his death so much more tragic

The fact that Cayde foreshadowed the entirety of the Deep Stone Crypt Raid in two audio recordings

The most heartbreaking moment, for me, is still when you collect the Ace of Spades from Banshee and he asks if you have seen Cayde around recently.

and then Cayde-7 comes along and busts in with a wild naked Fallen "OH HEY GUYS DID YOU HEAR CAYDE-6 DIED??"

So if we were a hunter AND we were the one who killed uldron dosen’t that make us the vanguard?

That message about the deep stone crypt hits different now

The impact of caydes death finally hit me when you showed that last clip with the D1 music...

Cayde has always been my favourite character and watching him die in that quest wasn’t very pleasant, watching him argue with failsafe always makes me laugh

Here is the ace. And remember...remember! Hey wait a minute...have you cayde around lately? -Banshee 44

When I first played Destiny 1 I fell in love with Cayde and eventually made a Exo Hunter cause I liked him so much. Named him Ares 1 cause the guardian gets rezed at the beginning and forgets everything so I considered it a reboot. Playing through the game as a Hunter was fun and when destiny 2 rolled around I remade Ares 1 and with the opening being similar I named him Ares 2 said something like "Bad luck got him yoinked and his Ghost had to save him again. When Cayde died I felt it was fitting but I was pissed and distraught. I felt the same way Ares 2 felt...Burn em all

That last bit where he had a message for us, broke my heart. Cayde has been around forever and was one of our main characters. And for us hunters, we had a strong bond with him.

Halo 3 ODST: Some times it pays to be the strong silent type. Destiny 2: This ones for the strong silent type. You. Rest in peace hell jumper, until Valhalla!

You are such a phenomenal narrator. And this story (Cayde-6) is the second time in my life where a videogame made me cry. Rest in peace, Cayde. We all miss you.

Here to reminisce and seek comfort after the departure of our beloved Commander.

“Do you want me to make a lore video on-“ Me: Yes

“Every story has an end. This is mine.” This was not only the first time I’ve cried over a video game. It’s the hardest I’ve cried in my memory. Rest In Peace, old friend. You will be missed.

Been 4 years and still miss him. I can only imagine Cayde interacting with Nimbus and Rohan. His determination in wanting to stop the witness after potentially seeing it again. RIP good buddy

It's been nearly two years and I still cry as I watch the light leaving Cayde-6

Me: don't cry *hearing his last stash at the end* *crys anyways*

Ikora’s is definitely the saddest. Her dialogue after the end of the campaign reveals she really had a soft spot for him, and his recording shows that he was pretty close with her, although they never really connected or realized their friendship.

Genuinely broke my heart when Cayde died. And then when I did this mission it was I nearly cried. I find it amazing how Bungie manage to make us care so deeply about these chary

ever since cayde died i feel like i need to come back here at least once every 2 months. thanks for this

I’ve always held a… morbid curiosity about how Guardians process death - the kind you don’t return from. Then I saw the faces of those mourning Cayde. The Farm practically came to a standstill. The old boy charmed the pants off the place, and it showed. Death binds us all together, whoever we are - Guardians and non-Guardians alike. Now, what say we pour one out for our old friend, ayy...

Goodbye Cayde. I'll see you starside. I am legit tearing up. Cayde was arguable universally liked, and for some, loved. I wish Cayde knew how much his friends cared for him. The fact that he thought his own fireteam could potentially kill him is heartbreaking. Rest easy hunter, we'll watch your back.

Jesus this hit the feels, I've been playing Destiny since the beginning but took a break when this DLC hit. Having this video from a master of storytelling is great thanks Byf

Listening to this after Beyond Light, really scratching my head at the "Long Slow Whisper"

His message to our guardian is surprising emotional

I can just imagine, with all these messages he left, Cayde just sitting back in a chair, legs kicked up on a desk, talking to no one but the recorder before him. Some he's laughing about, others he's more serious about, and actually takes his feet off the desk to speak and address some. To me, it feels like that fits Cayde's character.

Jesus that made me shed a tear remembering those recording’s I miss my friend very much

I come back to this video every year, I leave sad every time.

Destiny players: Cayde-6 is a really humorous character, he’s the best out of the three! Bungie: *Cocks gun Is he now?

the one for ikora always make me sad, specially after she told us after the campaign how she fells :,(

I legit started crying when he said “every story has an end, this is mine”

Gosh just re-watching this video every now then, tears me up

Though they were only meters apart, in there minds, they were separated by eternity. She, a warlock, possessed by rage, anger, sorrow. All these flowed from her, and one could almost see the energy flow from her. He, a titan, his own emotions unreadable across an expressionless face, as of daring the other to speak a challenge. His word propelled the conversation forward, as if speaking what had previously been an unspoken challenge. “Say it.” “Cowardice.” The words, spoken with such malice, shook the very foundation of the tower. None knew it, but for a single, solitary moment, the fate of the tower hung in the balance. The man turned to the canvas. “I will not bury any more friends.” “You won’t have to.” A third voice enters. A change in conversation, with each word a bullet. “Uldren Sov. Is. Mine.”

I finished the Exotic quest earlier today and when I finally got the weapon and Banshee told me not to forget then. He asked “anyone seen Cayde?” That honestly made me very. Heartbroken. Like even when I got the fabled weapon, it was not a victory. Because for me to GET this weapon. I had to lose Cayde, I’m a Warlock but I could relate to Cayde as a character a lot. Being happy go lucky but deeper down is. Alone. I’ll miss him

The note to Ikora, and what she says about Cayde, is great story. I never viewed Cayde as lonely before. Thanks for making these!

long slow whisper is the darkness bray was communing with

“Now lets go to prison!” Best line in destiny ever

Good bye ....... old friend ... (RIP Cayde 6 2014-2018)

Byf, you are a name I will never forget. Congrats, with all you’ve done for the destiny community you’ve become immortalized.

Cayde's last message legit made me cry when i first experienced it, even now i still tear up a bit

pretty much everyone: WE LOVE CAYDE Bungie: *pulls out gun*

"Feel free to put your rocks on my map now, I dont need them anymore" 😭😭 mission just started and I'm already crying.

Honestly the writing of this story is like a good written book, funny, sad, memorable and more and when cayde died it was like loosing a real person and we need morw games like this

I think I had a tear! Wow! Love your story telling. Great job

Marcus Ren would be a great video. I’d also love to see a video on the Guardians honored in the Solstice armor - maybe as part of a large video telling the stories of all the non-famous, everyday guardians.

Cayde-6. Hunter, yes? Amusing and annoying... but friend to Variks. House Judgement mourns you, Cayde.

Just found this and loved it...thank you, Byf!

Ive listened to this multiple times. Cayde was such a beautifully subtle and complex character we never got to know more enough about.

"Hey... take me with you, I hate this job" -Cayde 6

Hearing Cayde's last words for both his enemies, and his friends is truly... heartbreaking. to think that Cayde even entertained the idea that his closest, and dearest friends could kill him, or that he might turn for the worst... it makes you realize just how alone, and broken our Hunter Vanguard was. I'm not crying you are! Please make a lore vid about Marcus Ren! You're awesome Byf, keep up the good work!

Ive watched this video every year sense his death and now the message about the crypt makes sence

I don’t care how long it’s been. It always hurts to know how Cayde always felt alone. It’ll be good to see you again buddy.

Can't lie, this mission.. killed me inside. I don't know if it was because it was Cayde that died or because I just love this game and have played it since Alpha but... it cut me deep. Especially his message to Ikora...then to us.. You will not be forgotten Cayde. Real or not. You and your character impacted my life forever. We'll take care of Ace.. See ya around buddy ♤

Basically “13 Reasons Why” (Destiny 2 Edition)

Every time I watch this video, I cry. R.I.P. Cayde-6 We all miss you

Your video had me in tears! Good job man. You explained it so well

God, this mission got me so choked up... "Long Slow Whisper?" ...what did Cayde find out?

You know what makes a good peice of writing? It's something that deep down in it's roots that it feels, real... not "believable", as if it's fake, but, _relatable._ *In memory...* *Cayde-6*

Not gonna lie I watched this again for nostalgia and it made me cry even though I’m a titan cayde was always my favorite and the messages where well put by bungie and perfect for the storyline the music and ending at the video and scene where amazing thank you

It's been 3 years, and as always, I always cry when I hear his voice in this quest.

For that chest when he says that this is his end and then how it went into that soft piano i was *crying in nova bomb tears*

"This one's for any Hunter who kills me. Best guess: Marcus Ren? You realize you get my stuff now? ALL my stuff. INCLUDING the Hunter Vanguard gig. Yeah, congra-tu-lations, dummy. That's what we call a Vanguard Dare. Sucks, doesn't it? OK, brace yourself for some advice, hotshot. One, know your people. Like, my Nessus scout, Quantis Rhee. I like to call her about once a moon, else she gets a little too much Night, not enough Stalker, you know? Two, keep your weapons sharp. Your job's to watch everyone's back, which means no one's watching yours but you. And three, start thinking now about what you want to do for your successor's Vanguard Dare. 'Cause trust me, kid - *this gig will kill ya."*

Man coming back to this actually made me cry

genuinly started to cry towards the end on the last message. cayde was a shining light in the darkness and always lightened the mood.

I am somewhat shook that The Colonel is canon

In the last scene he tells Ace "I'm coming home" Good story line would be another ghost hidden in Ace

*me: cries at the start of forsaken* *also me: I won’t cry again* *me: hears the message for us and ikora* *also me: Bursts out in tears*

3 years later and I still miss him cayde always felt like your best friend time, rest easy guardian
