Destiny Lore - Oryx: The Books of Sorrow Part 3 - Ascension 

Lol

“This book is full of lies...”

@@nicholascazmay2126 So were they not killed in Ascendent Realm? Or were they not killed? Or were they not subject to the law of reality?

@@Shivian124 how bout everything you just said but they alive because dlcs are important that work for everyone right? 🤣

@@Shivian124 they were revived through necromancy. Oryx just needed to reenact their nature. When they die in their ascendent plane, it's a true death, as long as no one tries to revive them

OperationWaffles sigh... if only they could make a story work that's not all in written text

Tyler Evan I'd buy a novel tbh

Wishes he was Zamasu Indeed.

Wishes he was Zamasu true

it's already better than Star Wars

I mean look at the heart of the black garden, fucking cake walk, this is a problem games face all the time, lore vs gameplay

BlackSparks it's like a Divine cosmic fate of irony. The god king of an empire, Slayer of worlds, reality's nightmare. Found dead drifting towards Saturn, killed by six rag tag guardians, who where all found in outside of the city, next to a rusted out cars, who have little to no idea who is his.

BlackSparks The big difference between all the other worlds Oryx had conquered and this one is our knowledge. Thanks to Toland and Eris, we knew the ins and outs of the Hive and how to beat him. Funnily enough, it was the death of Crota, the screw up son of Oryx, that led to his demise. When we killed Crota, Oryx felt it in his worm. A massive part of Oryx's tribute came through Crota, and Oryx came to get it back. He rushed into the system not as a calculated King, but as a vengeful father, and this was his doom. The Queen stopped Oryx from getting to the City. We boarded the Dreadnaught and slew his physical form as many had done, but it was what came after that differentiated us from the rest. We demolished his Court, stopped his rituals, and killed his champions across the system. Because we had become ascendant, we were able to enter his Throne World. We then killed his Warpriest, Daughters, and Golgoroth. We raided his cellars and released the Light he had stored up. All of this killing we had done resulted in the loss of even more tribute to Oryx. When we fought him in the raid, he was barely even a shadow of himself. Oryx's greatest strength was also his greatest weakness. His worm, which had given him endless life and power, was starving when we reached him. There was not enough killing flowing to him to support his power. I would say he was probably a dead man walking when we reached him. Yet even still, we needed to blast him with pure Light to do any damage. Because of what we knew from Eris and Toland, we were able to succeed where all other species had failed. The Eucamene did well when they killed Oryx with overwhelming force, but they did not follow up correctly. After removing Oryx from the picture, they needed to remove the command under him to starve him out and make him weak and desperate.

@DBread Thank you for taking my comment into consideration and typing so much. Helped me understand more of the lore in the game, as well as made me realize that that's most likely the cause of Oryx's downfall.

"What is a mob to a king" "What is a king to a god" "What is a god to a hobo who don't know shit."

bloodraven432 Underrated comment is underrated

Lol

+Luke Branham commentersins underrated comment is underrated, DING🛎🛎

You're art is amazing, you are very good at what you do :) Have a nice day.

You more than did this story justice. I am looking forward to more of your art in part 4.

This art is yours?! It's AMAZING.

Jade Nadales amazing!! Well done!!

Jade Nadales Amazing simply amazing!

Crazyspadger360 10 YEARS LATER...

chris pearson if I remember my book of sorrows correctly...it was originally Auryx and then later changed to Oryx...

chris pearson He had different names for each transformation

No

Aurash, then Auryx, then Oryx

NINJA of SPARTA and 9 ahamkara lol

xXGod_Of_WarXx looks like 5 proto-hive came in for some more dislikes

Don't forget the Ecumene also disliked.

NINJA of SPARTA yep 4 of them and Ta Ox or whatever the fuck her name is

Dhitan Animations yeah that bitch

idk maybe because earth didnt exist back then?

because of activision not giving them creative freedom by getting the game out fast to earn money.

I kinda agree. Some of the factions are GREAT! The Eliksni (Fallen), Vex, and Hive are all quite interesting. Hive have allot of "Cosmic Lore" that honestly should be made into a comic/graphic novel. The Eliksni are just a bunch of scavs who Im 100% sure are completely reasonable people, just no one tries to reason with them.. And the Vex (I think) were made by Clovis Bray and thus we kinda undid ourselves there. As for Cabal.. No one likes Rhino Romans from space. In terms of "great evil" and the Darkness, the Hive are probably the faction that is the end game. Savathun and her sister are still out there, I think and we should probably end them too. I personally want a story where we help out some friendly Fallen, not just one tho like Spider or Variks. I wanna see friendly fallen out in the field fighting with us, not against us

they had a decent story but the lead story writer had copyright over the story and left the team last minute. they had very little time to create a new story before launch

@@justicebrown1077 someone called it lol

Science And stuff byf. Byf needs grimiore

Where do youmthink he gets his stuff?

Looks like your right

Hey how’d you like Witch Queen?

[everyone liked that]

DUBA did it take long for this one to come out

over a year

Hahaha

Oryx is evil, yes, but Aurash was not. His tale is one of tragedy, not evil. The true evil is the Worm Gods, the true Darkness.

HammersongIndustries exactly. That's why I think of him as a great villain. He isn't just some bad guy that loves being evil. His character is tragic, his motivations understandable, his reasoning solid, etc. Throughout the books of sorrow I found myself rooting for Oryx in a strange way.

Casey Jemery I think there's a fan theory of oryx is not dead because we killed him in his throne world but not in our world. But I haven't really looked at it and the touch of malice may contain oryx's soul or at least a fragment of it. So if there is a chance of oryx coming back would be difficult without stepping on the lore. But yes it would be cool if oryx to come back his lore is one of my favorite if not my number one antagonist with in the destiny universe.

HammersongIndustries worm gods are just agents of the darkness.

Artorias Elucidor I hope he's dead for good, his siblings reactions are going to be interesting and who knows what they could do with the tablets of ruin, I'm not talking about using taken themselves, Savathûn would be able to use it in pretty scary ways. Oryx was set up in vanilla destiny but not at all as the big bad guy. He was a Hive god yes, but not the only one and certainly not definitely the strongest anymore, the others wouldn't have stopped fighting at all. As for the theory that Oryx isn't dead, I'd say touch of malice doesn't contain his soul but much rather contains some taken power or something like that due to the dark rituals that Eris performed to create the weapon of sorrow, much like Thorn.

guardians don’t use the sword logic, as they die and are revived. hive throne worlds are different. that’s why acolytes in gms don’t become literal gods after killing us oncr

One of the core tennants of destiny has always been, and will always be this: Guardians make there own fate. We fight not with the logic of a sword, dividing strenght from weakness, a blind truth. We fight with what is better described as the logic of a bomb. We take weakness and we make it strong, a subversion of the sword logic, a complex truth. A harder road. But, in many respects, a better one.

@@Santisima_Trinidad and the protag wields both sword and bomb logic in a way protag follows a infinite logic,one that uses every logic from destiny,a literaly anomaly that uses everything for there arsenal,ever shifting,ever changing,ever powerful

I am from the future. Holy shit.

Giant Pandas damn the burn

Giant Pandas Bungie essentially wrote all this but ok

You guys are saying bungie wrote it, but that's pretty much all they did. They didn't frame it up, present it in a coherent way, or even make it integral to understanding the game or create a good system for understanding any aspect of the lore for that matter. Little bits of information that you can find does not a universe make.

At least they made it better in Destiny 2 to be sorta Dark Souls like, where you find items and weapons and can search the lore right there and piece it together that way. Most people tend to like it done like that.

MegaDrain I still think a codex or something would be better than the system they have. Essentially take the grimoir cards and put them in the actual game.

We killed him.

Nick Cross almost like its a lore in one🤔🤔

ICELANDICPIG don’t feed the trolls

Ser Davos, of House Seaworth, the Onion Knight i don't think he's a troll

+SacredComet 2 years and still waiting... *sighs*

mttrac92 +mttrac92 Saddest part is the next episode was gonna be the one with the Darkness. Majestic, Majestic... Damn it.

SacredComet I too am still waiting

@@wastedraccoon November 1, 2019 still here waiting...

Is it still being made or did part 4 get cancelled?

I'll fite ya. Nightstalker Hunter master race

IAmVorTex Nevah!!!

Pfft titans would cut you down and take your power. Weak.

Hunter Master Race Hunter Master Race

Alec Kirk A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Ryan Meyer glad you liked it 👌

Jade Nadales you've got a sub from me. Your work is inspiring.

Tobi386XD Nice profile pic, I love TFK

He reads lore and makes it enjoyable he doesn't create it there is a diffrence

THE FUCKING THORN OP True but when I said "hire you for lore" I meant reading it not creating it.

Ninjagrime oh ok

Ninjagrime Just add a warlock NPC into the tower named "The Lore-keeper" or something. Have byf voice act the NPC and allow the NPC to give the player "lessons", which are videos like this one.

THIS!

Ur, The Ever Hunger. I can tell by your name

8Bit Chris HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎁🎉🎊🎈🍰🎂🌟🙌

8Bit Chris happy birthday (Even though I'm saying this like 1year later)

I was gonna say did he ever make a part 4?

Mason Banas agah watching this in 2020 too?

He has a large vid on the darkness ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7bWbn5bk_uc.html It isn't labelled part 4 though.

I've been looking for it too. Is that the Darkness video? It doesn't say part 4.

Lucky you, I've been waiting for almost a year! I thought it wasn't gonna happen!!

i've only discovered the books of sorrow videos today. they are awesome! at least i could watch part 1 to 3 without having to wait... but now i'm where you are, waiting for part 4 & 5 to come. looks like it's going to be a long wait...

not a live action those always fail for video game based anything

lol Jonn I am waiting for this, The whole "the taken will never go away" thingy. It's almost guaranteed that Oryx will return either through taking or navigating/exploring unknown worlds by savathun or xivu.

lol Jonn there's also the possibility that he's coming back as we speak. Remember. His soul was contained within the Touch of Malice. Its now destroyed, meaning his soul is free. His body is still intact. Freed soul + still intact body = Oryx possibly coming back to life.

lol Jonn I'm hoping we get to see one of his sisters first, and it sounds like we might because Spoilers: In one of the leaks for D2 there is a mission called Savathun's Song.

lol Jonn I feel that it is more likely that Toland will accidentally summon him back by exploring the Hive throne worlds and death.

lol Jonn I'm pretty sure that can't happen because Ghaul isn't ascendant and doesn't follow the worm gods

I respect that

UltimateFusion a little bit of both eris is very versed in the lore of the hive

Ikora does

"Strangle me Daddy Oryx" ~Savathûn

Anthony Jackson in theory yes, they would have do it by mimicking his nature. Whether that be taking or exploring is unknown now that oryx morphed twice. But the sisters would also have to be at least as powerful as Oryx was as well which is unlikely. But I would enjoy a good plot twist or device using this logic as much as the next person.

@@darkknight021484 didn't oryx morph 3 times? 1st when he got the worm 2nd when he killed his sisters and 3rd when he became the taken king

Dark Prophet well, all the death caused in the dreaming city and the loop might just be enough to power savathun.

8Bit Chris yes but it seems that it will just be a huge cabal ship, not a leviathan like this ome

8Bit Chris not the same thing, especially since it's a follower of the traveller and lives in some unknown galaxy

Tyler Evan its dead... Lol

8Bit Chris People think the Leviathan from the raid is the planet eating ship seen in Destiny 2 concept art that was shown during the download screen for the beta.

8Bit Chris It could be it's dead corpse, but no it shouldn't be. The REAL Leviathan died in fundament

Ye more like a year QuQ

Still waiting...

We gonna be at Destiny 3 by the time part 4 is released

God of Onions 2020 still no part 4

I'm honestly going to miss fighting the Hive. They've always been my favorite lore-wise.

HammersongIndustries Well we'll be able to fight them on Titan. Also there are files that say "Hear me out, but what if Oryx isn't dead?" So they're setting up a potential return of the Taken King.

Darkness121 that would be crazy

Mason Conrad Yeah

Ha little did we know how much of a disappointment D2 was gonna be
