I FINALLY Caught Up On Destiny's Story! | Season of the Wish REACTION 

"Forgive me if I'm a crying mess." That's...why I'm here.

Your face when you realized Crow unknowingly wished for Cayde to be in the pale heart is my favourite reaction out of all you've done in all the Destiny videos. 3 days left and we'll be able to enjoy this last ride of the Light and Dark saga of Destiny.

I LOVE your reaction to slowly realizing Crow unintentionally made a wish to (possibly?) See Cayde again

Returning to this video after finishing the campaign and final missions! Terra you will NOT survive The Final Shape I cannot WAIT to see your reaction to all of those cutscenes, ESPECIALLY the final few. God. It's so good. Jesus fucking christ. It's all so good, Terra.

My Name is Byf released a 10 hour lore video yesterday going over the entire history of Destiny. May be something you'll find interest in just listening to in the background or something

2:42:15 the way the lore tab suddenly clicked was priceless. Im glad you read the ship lore because we dont know if it will be properly explained in TFS.

1:01:24 the harbingers are the light spheres Mara uses against Oryx's fleet in the first cutscene of The Taken King

57:16 Sjur Eido, the one Mithraks named his daughter after, is not 100% confirmed dead, she went missing and a Strange Coin was left in her place. She is assumed dead though

there is a sparrow from this season that i desperately need you to read the lore tab for called "Gloaming Journeyer" i'll even leave it in this comment for you Gloaming Journeyer We follow paths obscured. "The path to the Witness is within sight. We do not know what shape Riven's bargain will take, but I know that we two will not make that crossing." Drifter listened quietly as Eris spoke, her voice tense. The dark tendrils flowed thickly from beneath her bandage. "I watch as those closest to me edge toward oblivion," Eris said, her hands restless in her lap. "Ikora. Mara. I am unused to helplessness." She looked to Drifter, her mouth a tight line. When she spoke, it was in a ragged breath, "It's happening again. We will be alone at the end." Drifter stood after a quiet moment. Eris watched him curiously. He reached out and took her by the hand. She rose, following his silent urging. Then he put his arms around her. She tensed. He began to step away, unsure. But then her arms came up and she clung to him for a desperate moment. She felt the words in his chest as he spoke again. "I remember what you said. I think about it more than I should these days." "What did I say?" "That we'll live in the night if we have to. We do it for what comes after." Eris nodded, and sighed. The pair parted, but he kept a reassuring hand on her arm. "So this is where you wish to be," she said cautiously. "At the end of all things?" "Nowhere else." "No more schemes to leave Sol?" He was quiet for a moment, then shook his head, smirking. "Nah," he said, and looked into her eyes. "I'd miss the moonlight."

You know, if Riven talked more about grenades while imitating Shaxx, it would have been more believable.

Taranis literally lived up to Paarthurnax's quote from Skyrim. "What is better? To be born good or to overcome your evil nature with great effort?" -Paarthurnax

Fun fact, if your character is of the awoken race there's a slight change to some of Mara and Petra's dialogue to you. Like Petra would sometimes call you cousin and if my memory serves me right when I first unlocked the dreaming city back in forsaken, when I loaded up into the divilian mist I think it was Petra or Mara who said something along the lines of Welcome home(?) when I was using my awoken hunter.

I’ve had nothing to do this morning so I’ve literally just had RU-vid sitting in the background waiting for this vid lmao

something im sure you probably didnt catch, that fight with the black heart towards the end of the video was a reprised D2 version of the final boss from the vanilla D1 story. The amount of nostalgia that came flooding back to me was insane going into that

In the part with the holo-projector where riven imitates shaxx's voice it hints back to two previous lore tidbits, the first is the infamous "And the helmet stayed on"-lore entry, where mara used riven to teleport shaxx to her champers for him to "read" to her all night. The other is as you gleaned about Sjur Eido, who fell in battle long ago. Mithrax met her, and was spared by her long ago, the exact context i cant remember, but he admired her dearly, which is, why his daughter is called Eido :)

The cutscene with Ikora talking about guardians around the 2 hour mark, its the advertisement for the new BRAVE Armory and onslaught mode (Final shape was pushed back so they had to drop some content in what is the longest season of Destiny to date). Shaxx and the Vanguard work together with the different armories of the city including the Black Armory to manufacture and create the strongest weapons and even banned weapons (by crucible standards) to equip guardians for the final fight. Basically its a silly lore reason to bring back 12 of Destiny 2's most popular weapons in it's history lol

Here after the final mission launched, ngl kinda teared up

I haven’t commented anything yet, but I’ve watched your journey from the beginning to now. I’m so glad you appreciate the story of Destiny like the rest of us I hope to see you starside when The Final Shape comes out.

And so you’ve caught up. We are days away from confronting the Witness, and though you’ve gone through this story differently than most, I hope you enjoy the climax as much as the rest of us. See you on the battlefield (metaphorically, anyway).

The Black Heart was always an attempt to make another Veil, you learned that during your Lightfall video. But also, you missed a bit of dialog from OVERRIDE NODE AVALON because the video you watched did not show the conclusion of that story with Asher Mir. In D1, the Exo Stranger (now Elsie Bray) EXPLICITLY warns us that the Vex are the most frightening beings in the universe because they can just insert themselves in time AND that they don't care to align themselves with any form of darkness because all they are after is solving the many iterations of reality (which is the exact same thing the Witness does). The Vex were creating a mock-Veil that was essentially strangling the Traveler's power after Savathun had stolen and hidden it away on Neptune. The Exo Stranger told us that only once the Black Heart was destroyed would the Traveler begin to heal, and it was only until the Red War climax did we see the Traveler awaken from its slumber... which signaled the Witness to come and hunt us down. The Witness plays up the Vex in the UNVEILING lore book about how the Vex were the only beings in the creation game that emerged from the Dawn of Creation that completely annoyed the Gardener and thus the Gardener "became vexed" (hence their namesake). The Vex were uniform and would constantly deny the Gardener the satisfaction of making new, chaotic existences because the Vex would just constantly be the one race that would make its efforts nullified. This is why the Gardener hates the Winnower, because the Winnower likes the Vex. This is also probably why the Veil as a collective source of consciousness is precious to the Vex because the Veil literally connects ALL consciousness in reality. The Veil is also where the Witness' race learned how to merge their consciousness into a singular habitable body (just like the Vex), but since the Gardener (Traveler) granted them the gifts of the light, they actually understood paracausality and thus, the Witness is able to use both the darkness and the light to reshape reality.

1:01:00 We see them deployed in the Taken King intro cutscene, the balls of light that bent gravity and pulled Saturn's asteroid belt into the Taken Kings fleet.

It has been an absolute honor and pleasure witnessing this journey with you! Impressive you got caught up on so much in just a matter of months! Took me all 10 years of them putting it out lol. I will see you all in the Final Shape, fellow Guardians!

Note: Jolyon and Uldren(before he was Risen as Crow) we're best friends/comrades and regularly went on sorties together. Their friendship wained after Uldren became corrupted in the Black Garden

The switch up in mood 0n the umpteenth cut scene showing us Guardians being a-holes to an alien race minding their business

Eyyyy! Eyes up Gaurdian, see you out there and good luck with final shape.

And there it is…oh what a journey this has been O fellow guardian, mine. With only three more days, I feel like going on this journey not only prepared me for The Final Shape, but as I mentioned before, you’ve given me such a positive outlook on this game I fell into hating. I couldn’t be more hopeful for the future before us in the coming days and beyond. Thank you so much for this Terra, you can hardly call yourself a kinderguardian any more. I look forward to crying with you as well. Happy sailing out there, -T

You can watch the Trailer tomorrow or the next day after this season.

Let’s goooo!! I’ve also watched every single one of your destiny videos in 2 days I have an issue!

Have loved watching you go through this journey!

You know it's interesting seeing someone playing this so close to the start of The Final Shape. Most of us have known for months that Cayde was coming back we just didn't know how.

Watching u play this makes me realise all the flaws Bungie has with onboarding players. It shows everything instead of chronological relevant order to u and has no differing icons. Here’s to hoping episodes r actually better.

Devotion inspires Bravery, Bravery leads to Sacrifice, and so on…. Taranis seems pretty well-acquainted with that 🤔😏 But anyway imagine an Ahamkara with the power of the light, that’d be so crazy

Finally I can say welcome Guardian, and get ready to fight on Tuesday! :D

With one of the seasonal items (the ghost, I think?) we get a bit of an update to Eramis. To put it short, it seems she is gathering whoever she can of House Salvation who isn't yet turned into Scorn. Tho not 100% confirmed, it does seem she is planning to leave the solar system to find her long lost partner (can't remember her name) if she is still alive, and simply be with her as the end of the universe approaches

Terra, Mara, with the help of her three techeuns, unleashed the Harpingers against the Taken King during the space battle cutscene from the D1 Taken King expansion. Also, they established in the Lightfall post campaign exotic quest for Determinist Chaos (and in one of the veil containment instances I think???) that the Black Heart was a failed copy of the Veil. I think you just forgot lol. Either way, it has been amazing watching you catch up on this journey!!! Your reactions have been fantastic!

You have to watch the launch trailer. It's too hype to just ignore.

An amazing journey for sure! Grats on doing it in time for the final shape.

Here’s what I was told when I finished Warlord’s Ruin, so forgive me for getting some details wrong if any. Naeem and Hefnd had a symbiotic relationship. To enact her dying wish, he used Taken power to corrupt the Kings into Scorn. By the time word of new Scorn reached Fikrul, he sent his new annointed Scorn Knights to bring them into the fold. Without direct command, these new Scorn are able to come under new guidance, such was Fikrul’s hope. So through the Taken Chimera, it was able to enact vengeance. To tie a pretty bow on it, you, the Guardian and their fireteam, are there to put down the Scorn and Taken. In this dungeon, there is a buff called Naeem’s Vengeance. You are the enactor of her final wish and the last part to complete it. You kill the Taken Chimera to put an end to the wish. So Hefnd and Naeem are avenged. As for Shaxx and Mara. Theyre not in a relationship but have a connection to the same woman, Sjur Eido. She has a special place in both their hearts and see eye to eye for it. Sjur was a a really big and tough woman and her former lover. For Shaxx, he got two arrows from her now. One in the shoulder, one in the heart. Congratulations for being caught up. See you on the other side for Final Shape.

The advantage of watching it instead of playing is the Unveiling and Warlords Ruin dungeon being included

And with this closes the wonderful journey of catching up with destiny 2

When is the final shape vid coming out? Love the vids man ❤

I don't think Shattered Throne was included in earlier videos (Forsaken), but one thing I loved in this season in particular was the throwback with Exotic; Shattered Throne is where you can get Wish-Ender bow, Eido's weapon. It's the Exotic that can destroy corrupted Riven eggs within the Dungeon aka. ending the wish as we assumed they're the only ones left. In season of the Wish we get Wish-Keeper - and we become the protectors of non-corrupted eggs.

This series has been amazing and I’m hyped to hear you’re going to continue as the story moves along with us. Also, I believe your expectations on the delivery of the story for the episodes are accurate to what the devs have been claiming. We‘ll be getting far larger content drops but less frequently

I need my Terra pill of happines aaaa

After.... how many months. 6 MONTHS . Les goo

I'm so glad you weren't spoiled for the Cayde reveal given how Bungie/Sony were so eager to make that the centerpiece of their marketing for The Final Shape. Also, I've been rocking the same Strand Warlock build you were using at the beginning of the video. It's been so much fun but I'm looking forward to being reunited with my favorite gun in D1 when TFS launches; Red Death.

that cutscene at 2:28:04 gives me chills every time

And here we are at the end it being one heck of a ride guardians see you all on the other side!

The way i see it. The Veil is the split opposite of the travaller which is of the darkness instead of the light. I always sore it lioe a bulb. And the travaller may have emmerged from it like a fruit of the garden

For completing that last mission you get a ship called “Unforseen consequences” the lore for the ship details a conversation that Crow has with Mara where Crow talks about his regrets, he says he wished he hadn’t killed Cayde, as before that he could have gone back but killing Cayde was the point of no return for Uldren. Mara consuls him referring to him as “O brother mine”. Remember that Ahemkara are shapeshifters. Nvm as I finished typing this you got to the lore I was talking about lol

now you gotta watch the final shape trailer

"The altruists can be even more dangerous to their enemies than the ambitious." That's why she did it! And that's when she decided to do it! Riven you clever girl!

there's two other lesbian relationships we missed out on in game - Eramis and Athrys, and Ana Bray and Camrin Dumuzi

Terra, It’s been one hell of a ride. Just a little longer until we reach our conclusion. We're honored to have you with us. Together into the end. One last time. We'll see you on the other side 🫡

*sniffles* Mara and Croooow. But also that teaser at the end. I was so stoked when I saw it.

Taranis is wholesome his lore book is also nice to read

Damn your content is just awesome though it’s nice to see all this and remind me how good destiny story gets. I might have to see your bg3 stuff after I finish the game myself. Though that’ll probably be hard to do with Final Shape around the corner.

YOU DID IT! CONGRATULATIONS!

The biggest things that we've done against the Vex specifically has been the infinite Forest on Mercury the pyramidion on IO The Vault of Glass on Venus and the Vex strike on Europa

WE ARE HERE! The current primary theory everyone has about why Cayde is back comes from the lore tab for the ship you get from the season finale, Unforeseen Consequences - in which Riven (as Mara) asks Crow if he has any regrets, and Crow says he wishes he could meet "him" (this is assumed to be Cayde-6) and apologize. The implication is that Riven decided to grant this unintentional wish, possibly as repayment for Crow offering himself as a vocal conduit for Taranis's spirit earlier in the season or possibly just because she couldn't help herself. anyways, congrats! you made it to the end of current content with only, uh... three days to go until the expansion! now if you'll excuse me, I have far too many things to farm for before they vanish and too little time to do all of it... not that I'm surprised, if school taught me anything it's that I have a track record of procrastinating on important assignments until the very last minute. Hope you've had fun so far, and I cannot wait to dive into the Pale Heart alongside everyone else! mid-video edit: apparently the Black Heart was destroyed in the final mission of vanilla Destiny 1, and this season finale is a callback to that mission - which I can't confirm because I didn't PLAY vanilla D1, but if it's true that's incredibly cool.

You're finally here! Caught up with the rest of us, and in just 25 hours the last chapter begins! See you in the FInal Shape!!!! I have loved seeing your journey through the past!

30:13 "The Hive Succ..." Ayooooo!

Riven's VA is Debra Cardona; also Tsubone (Aggretsuko). & is married to Darin De Paul (Calus).

harbingers are those black hole things mara tried to use on oryx at the beginning of the taken king way back in D1

At long last we're here, Destiny has for sure had LOTS of ups and downs, as a game and in its story. But Bungie clearly really cares about these characters and tbh has done the impossible in steering a story that (in their own admission) didnt have a clear path forward, back in the early D1 days. Toward this ultimate climax, with a whole cast of well developed characters, clear stakes, multiple moving parts, and just 1 big epic fight on the horizon. Also gotta say I loved this series of yours. Getting to reexperience the whole story again vicariously through you. And have fun seeing the reactions to all the twists and turn and as things clicked into place its been a lot of fun. And while no one knows (not even the leakers thankfully) what final shape holds just yet its looking REALLY good, I cant wait to play it and can't wait to see what you think too. Also if you maybe wanna check out 1 trailer maybe like the day before or something, Id say in terms of "spoiler-ness" you could watch the Final Shape reveal Trailer, its really light on details just kinda cool. Then Journey into the traveler, its somewhere in the middle, it shows some stuff but no bit "bombshells" imo. And then lastly is the Launch Trailer, which is insanely cool but its 100% cutscene footage so I can get why you might wanna avoid it.....but its REALLY cool. But your call at the end of the day, only 3ish days left anyway

Loved this journey through memory lane in the Light and Darkness saga with you Terra, time for the end! 😭 Do you think you'll stream your playthrough of Final Shape?

Would love to see you react to The Final Shape trailer to kick off this launch!

1:40:10 I am loving Mara's cosmic cat 🌟😻🌟

You don't even know. I'm dead. This is like years ago. But there was a lore card called "The helmet stayed on," where essentially Mara using the wish wall from Riven, summoned Shaxx for a booty call. And the other person Riven was talking about was Sjur Eido. Mara's original queens guard and lover. She died in the Reef wars, I don't think we ever know how. Sjur was also the one to save Misraaks and give him purpose to live after he lost everything. She's the reason why he named his daughter Eido

Good luck in the final shape, were all gonna need it.

3 days^ 2:42:15 the realisation You know it's gonna be good when Petra is involved. She is just so reliable And Oracles are very scary in the regard that they can literally erase you from a timeline (you just never existed in the first place). This was only possible in the Vault of Glass as the vex held complete control over time in there and it was outside of time. If something paracausal could enable the vex to use Oracles effectively outside the vault, not even we guardians could ever hope to stop them

I'll look for your light in the Traveler on Tuesday my fellow guardian. So glad to have watched you walk this journey with us. And now that you are here with us on this grand journey, well... Eyes up... guardian. And as we say, I'll see you star side. Now... Let's go play in the Traveler! *Jumps in like a happy Cayde6 did in the prison.* Woooooooooooooo!

Hey, Terra, are you going to record and react to the The Final Shape too? Asking for myself.

Crow accidentally wished to bring cayde back one of the times he was talking to riven disguised as mara

Ahamkara were too busted to keep around lol. Their spirits out there just chilling somewhere is unsettling lol.

And so we wait. For the Final Shape.

About your "We are the bad guys" at Tarranisses story, you need to understand that Tarranis, and the attitude he inspired in Riven were not just rare, but almost akin to a wolf protecting sheep instead of killing them. Read the lore, and you'll find that nearly every Ahamkara were intellegent predator's who delighted in their 'games'. Creatures who twisted the wishes of others, but did not just take sustenance from it, but also delighted in the suffering and grief their actions caused. Was hunting the Ahamkara, a sentient species, to extinction morally questionable? Yes, absolutely, i'm not arguing that. But the sol-system was even more dangerous then than it is now, where enemies were around every corner and the city balanced on a knives edge. Hunting the Ahamkara, putting an end to them was the best choice, because despite them being intelligent, the Ahamkara were predators, and would never stop granting and twisting wishes, anymore than wolves would become vegans. And don't forget, negotiating with the Ahamkara is only a step away from bargaining with them, which would enevitably have ended in disaster. Tarranis, and his compassion for what should have been his 'prey', is extraordinary, a wolf that became 'vegan'. I just hope that his kids got his good attitude.

Oh yeah haha. Been waiting for you to get to the end. The reaction at the end was so worth it. :) See you in Final Shape

I started playing like 2 months ago, and i remember rushing all this because i thought i wouldn't be able to finish intime. 1:33:04 this was funnier than it should've been 2:36:15 a cube of course 2:42:16 people in the comments hyping up this moment, and it didn't disappointed lol

Welcome to the current day now Terra! You are officially caught up and ready to walk aside us on the first day of Final Shape! BTW, I would not be opposed to seeing your reaction to the launch day trailer.

The lore on the ship where you realized Riven made the wish for Crow, scrolling back up and re-reading it knowing it's Riven talking made it so sincere. There was a part that had "mara" apologizing for manipulating Uldren and what she did to him, but now we know it was Riven apologizing for what she did to Uldren 😢

I know you said you wanted to go in blind, but seeing what you thought of the last cutscene really makes me wish you would react to some trailers too lol Either way, looking forward to seeing you play Final Shape with the rest of us :)

Here waitign for him to react to the Final Shape trailers, vidocs and stream

So something I noted was that I think some dialogue in the beginning mission was cut or something. We went to claim Riven's first egg and it wasn't there, and Riven was PISSED and thought that Mara purposefully relocated her eggs in some gambit or game or plan. So until we find Taranis' lair and discover his wish-sacrifice, she thinks that WE are the ones who hid her eggs and were delaying the protection of them.

In an old lore tab it is assumed by most people that mara and shaxx shared a night together. This theory is confirmed because the dreaming city is and has always been bisexual lighting (Fr tho that dialogue riven said in shaxx' voice lowkey confirmed it, at least to me. Ps. Lore is in Mark of the Great Hunt)

The story of Destiny is really two stories, everything before Shadowkeep and everything after. The direction of Destiny was initially way different from what we got in Shadowkeep and what follows all represents a pivot with Beyond Light "retconning" and redefining Elsie's story. The Black Heart was 100% not always meant to be a flawed Vex recreation of the Veil. I think Destiny's main villain from the outset may have been intended to be the Vex from the beginning and "The Darkness" was always meant to remain vague, but they just found them not as compelling, starting when Destiny's worst expansion Curse of Osiris which was meant to up the threat level they represented flopped hard, since then the Vex have been a joke or machinations in other entities' plans like Savathun or the Psion sisters. Bringing back the Black Garden and using the Black Heart to bring everything full circle. If you ever wondered why the Season of Undying had a full CGI cutscene when it came so early in the seasonal line-up, then you'd be on to something. That cinematic was never made for Destiny 2, but Destiny's cancelled fifth expansion that would have followed Rise of Iron and brought the Vex back into the picture, it had the working title "Vex Void" and would have featured a return to an expanded Mars, the same way the Cosmodrome was expanded with the Plaguelands in Rise of Iron. Bungie instead chose to pivot and began work on D2 instead which met with detractors first for the lack of content in Destiny 2, then Curse of Osiris and Warmind as well. Leading them to go all in on Forsaken, but shifting the plot to focus more on the mysterious Darkness and less on the Vex, the first time Uldren Sov uttered, "the line between Light and Darkness is so very thin" is the moment we stepped into a new vision for Destiny going forward, Shadowkeep started that new road and Beyond Light basically commits to it and neatly files away the Exo Stranger the Vex and everything before to get them out of the limelight. As an addendum, Lightfall was meant to be the final expansion and also suffers from some of the turbulent development changes that branch it off from The Final Shape. Yeah you see the Veil that Bungie forgot to tell us about in the actual expansion and claims to be the counterpart to the Traveler, y'know how it looks like a fungus, how egregore got built up in the Calus seasons, in Presage, how the Veil is responsible for the portal we see in Final Shape. Just look at this... imgur.com/a/bvIo3tH

Will you be having a reaction/play through of The Final shape? I want to see your input to what we all see when we “Face Oblivion”

Finally you can react to the Trailers

your not alone I also tried to go into that portal looking thing in the beginning lol.

I havent watched the full video yet but im going to assume you dont know much about the wall of wishes so i will explain as much as i can. So first, the wall of wishes can be located in the last wish raid (the same raid we kill riven) and it is used as a secret wall that has millions of combinations and you would find the combinations in cutscenes, planets, and many other places, ofc they were well hidden and it took a while for players to find all 14 of the wishes, but in a lore book, it shows that there are 15 wishes, and for the last 5y ppl have been looking endlessly in every place, location , cutscene, and whatever they think it could be in. Some ppl even tried guessing it but ofc it didnt work out. Now meanwhile ppl were looking for the 15th wish there was a lore book that has a line saying "a guardian must defeat dul incaru ( the final boss of the shattered throne dungeon) at 999 power ( the max power at the time was around 600 or 700 idk) solo and the final secret of the dreaming city will be unlocked" so when shadowkeep came around and the seasonal artifact was new, people were grinding the game for a while untill they got enough xp to reach level 999. Now the book also said to complete it solo at 999 so a few players tried to do it and after all that hard work nothing happened... bungie ended up apologizing because they thought no one would do it but after all these years it turned out that savathun had the final wish after all and then season of the wish began. If u want a more detailed and lore accurate description about the wall of wishes, u can watch videos from ppl that know d2 lore (not me)

You should watch the first the final shape reveal trailer to see how bungie ruined the cayde reveal. Nice seeing someone genuinely be surprised by it

man, i'd really love for you to react to the final shape launch trailer/or all final shape trailers. but, it's understandable if you really want to be in the dark when it launches in like 3 days!

glad you caught the reason Cayde is in there

1:45:35 did the devs forget they made an exotic out of riven already or would this one be made from her heart? I was waiting for riven to have a snarky retaliation to that one haha.

I love new lights, and I hate how poor the D2 onboarding experiences have become. Destiny become more fun when you engage in any activity with proper understanding of the context. So I'm glad that you're all caught up and get to experience D2 as it unfolds in real time with all of us!

Bro didn't see the the cayde 6 reveal

Let me talk like Terra for a bit... "Sacrifice Betrayal Betrayal? Sacrifice Sacrifice, Betrayal Sacrifice???? Betraaayal.... ah, BETRAYAL SACRIFICE! Sacrifice Sacrifice betrayal!"

Just here to point out something obvious, but we actually don't know if riven granted crows wish to resurrect cayde, only that it was an ahamkara

Would recommend you watch the vidocs and trailers now that youve caught up, good things to react to.

you also gonna react to the launch trailer? you really wanna see that
