MAY THE HOUSE OF LIGHT RISE TO JOIN THE GUARDIANS
I really want a Ghost to find a Fallen worthy of being a guardian
Maybe not a playable Fallen race yet, but a single Eliksni Guardian would be so cool!
@@thompsonel-melloi9270 fallen as a new playable race for guardians? Poggers
@@ThudFudgins hopefully
@@ThudFudgins Doubt thats ever going to happen, they already said they have no plans to make a destiny 3 so having a new playable race while everyone already has a character might be wack, and the fallen have different biology (4 arms) so they have to change armor because of their race
Fallen guardian npcs maybe but definitely not playable unfortunately
Finally Variks' question will be answered
*[Asthmatic wheeze] Weer iz Misraaks, de light kell? [ Insect-like chattering]*
My god your imitation is near perfect,m
Byf “i might have accidentally killed mithrax” shows the clip of him absolutely obliterating a capitan exodia style
I mean to be fair, I did maybe, possibly, just perhaps.. use a thundercrash on mithrax my first time in
I did know he was important soooo
yeah I went ham with a sword and beheaded them both instantly
I bottom tree nova bombed both of them, I remember thinking, “hey this will be quick and funny” it would seem Suva got stolen from the tower a year later, and the city will be in perpetual darkness
@@austindemuynck9460 I may have misunderstood what ghost was getting at and killed Mithrax to see if the Hive knight was friendly.
Proud to be one of the guardians that didn't kill mithrax on their first try.
Cheers to that!
I successfully spared him because I always like to reed the enemies names, it took long enough to notice he was behaving weirdly

The fact that there is legitimately lore specifically about Smollen makes me incredibly happy.
I think it's from the Truth quest lore during season of opulence
Petition to make Smollen the actual name for the fallen children
@@stuffy654 What about Eliksmini?
"Smollen" assumes that they are Smol Fallen, though. Which in one sense, they are, but in another, their nascent alliance with the current stewards of the Traveler means they are rising again. Therefore, they're not Smol Fallen but Lil Eliksni. Or Liliksni for short.

I love how Mithrax has Gamer Goggles on now
The Kell of the House of Drip
Lol
Because unlike Eramis, Misraaks cares about his own safety as well as others’.

I really liked his old mask, and I like this one a bit less, but I still like it a lot. I just hope it becomes a mask for Festival of the Lost like his old mask did.
I would love to see Mithrax and Varix establish an actual Eliksni civilization on Europa, outposts on planets like Earth and Nessus. I would also love to see Strikes or operations where Guardians get support from Fallen and Cabal, as I think it’s time we finally got to see allies of the Last City in action.
Wouldn't it be dope that all three races actually band together to fight The Darkness. Maybe part of the Lightfall story.
Imagine doing patrols when you run up on some fallen that are scavenging. As you run up, they react to you positively. Maybe some hive appear, and you fight them together.
This! So much this! I'd love to have strikes where we are going after some Eliskni Capt. that got in over his head with Hive, just show up and be like, "Hey man, Lets kick some hive butt, buddy"
The set up of all of this is certainly leading to the possibility that when Witch Queen arrives we'll have Fallen and Cabal allies. Would be cool to see them help us in the campaign and/or the WQ raid :)
Well we’re definitely allying with the Eliksni but the Cabal is a bit of a far cry from Alliance. We are currently at an Armistice with the Cabal Empire, but that might change when Savathūn finally shows up.
I have always loved mithrax but him being in a season without being talked about in a lore book makes me happy
Absolutely. Mithrax is the best
I guessed we would meet again when he was mentioned in beyond light a bit
@@michakowaleczko7512 Thank you guys!!!!
@@michakowaleczko7512 amen
@@vertigo3612 you updated your profile pic?
Looking sick!
The return of Mithraks is like the return of the Exo Stranger. Haven't seen him in forever in game until now.
And just like the exo stranger, we’re glad to see him return.
@@devinwolken indeed
@PlasmaCubeX brother time has flew by quicker than you realize lmao
Is it bad that i wanted mithraks back more than exo babe lol
I want them too meet. It would be an interesting time
15:46 you didnt murder Mithrax you straight up evaporated him. Mithrax more like mithgas
I'm dying
More like MISTrax
Lol. Underrated joke.
“Cayde, we’ve got a real problem down here”
“Let me guess, four arms, wear cloaks, smell real bad?”
If it wasn't for the 'four arms' bit, I'd be inclined to say Cayde was describing himself there. :P
That is very offensive...
@@vertigo3612 OFFENSIVE!? Did you saw your children on dying wife's hands shooted by one of this "guardians"? There plush "baby fallen" toys in the Last City. Don't be a fool Misraaks.
@@vertigo3612 yeah. how dare they insult our practice targe-- i mean eliksni people
@@vertigo3612 You have spliced into our networks. Yes, Misraaks?
Mithrax, The Arbiter of Destiny
True. Except at least in my opinion, Mithrax has a better story. You cannot change my mind
@@austindemuynck9460 yes, it’s been built up further. We got the arbiter and the lore about what he did in and before Halo CE after the fact. Mithrax has had missions with us and lore building up for 3 years of content and has been behind the scenes in beyond light. If Bungie continues his story. Then he will truly be better than the arbiter.
@@c4sualcycl0ps48 yeah, and with this season it looks like their going to do just that
@@austindemuynck9460 exactly. if we don't do anything with Mithrax after this I would call that a missed opportunity
@@c4sualcycl0ps48 yeah. But I doubt that would happen. Seeing how Bungie has handled the story in the season being more of an important thing than Just simply Loot, it’s very unlikely they would drop the ball here with such an important character.
Hey yeah this is great and all but we’re gonna need a 6+ hour lore video about *the B A B Y S*

@@TX533 that’s genius
BABIES...Just sayin'.
@@TX533 smollen or smollixni
Yeah you owe us the BABIES, cuz we never got the FISH
If Mithrax had knowledge of Vex Tech and was in the House of Wolves, then could he have gotten Skolas into the Vault of Glass?
Yup
If I remember correctly we defeated Skolas only after he did something with vex tech. Its highly possible Skolas gave up in our first timeline because he already succeeded in being in multiple timelines later.
It's highly unlikely Misraaks (or, Mithrax in our tongue) would personally be responsible for Skolas getting into the Vault of Glass.
From what I remember about Misraaks, he had not been closely tied to the House of Wolves since he was captured by Sjur and subsequently shown mercy. He seemed to travel with her for the remaining days of the Reef Wars (I could be wrong about that).
However, with the mastery over technology possessed by the Sacred Splicers, it is almost guaranteed that if not Misraaks himself, some other Wolf Splicer was responsible for getting Skolas into the Vault of Glass.
@@archivesEris Praksis perhaps? He was a Wolf Splicer that was thrown into the Prison of Elders before escaping and joining Eramis.
I remember sparing Mithrax, back when I didn't know about the houses of the Fallen, I just know I was asked if I liked Hive or Fallen better
I forget that there are newcomers, so they might be very confused as to why we are freaking out about some Fallen.
The time difference really hits home if you think about it ^^
the same thing happened with exo stranger too, there were many new players in destiny 2 who didn't know why the community was so hyped for her
It's even weirder if you're like me and only started playing when D2 launched on PC, but you used to play Halo so you paid attention to Destiny when it came out and saw at least some of it. I always wondered where the fuck the Exo Stranger went and then she finally shows back up over half a decade later with little more than a handful of lore entries dedicated to her in the intervening time period. One hell of a bus ride, amirite, guys?
@@Phoenix-214 Indeed ^^
Mars has disappeared
Me: Fallen babies take priority
I really, REALLY want Missraks to mention or reference Enemy of my enemy and Zero Hour. Maybe him referencing Outbreak.
When u have it equipped he should say something like: that puls rifle looks familiar *laughs*
@@noels1711 it could work just fine if It was iddle dialogue. Something really subtle: "That weapon... Seems familiar ..."
Zero Hour is Hell to me.
We are playing on the timeline where Byf didn’t have a super ready.
It’s so funny seeing Byf, all serious in his lore videos, getting flustered about killing Mithrax around 15:40
Ye
I'm forever disappointed that the House of Light isn't called the House of Dawn.
I think there is a house of dawn
@@thunderlord6250 There isn't. There's House of Dusk, but no Dawn.
@@elitegamer9310 whoops
@@elitegamer9310 well I am a gun tho so it’s okay if I’m wrong
@@thunderlord6250 considering youre not SGA, yea.
The only question I have for this upcoming season is when in the hell can we be a guardian eliksni
Destiny 3
destiny 5
Dang, no footage of it. So, Mithrax is actually IN the Zero Hour mission and almost everyone runs right by him, but he transmats into the mission near the beginning and slaughters a Dreg. It's awesome. He's already worked alongside Guardians many times.
He also shows up at the very end after you finish off the boss.
You first come across him at the farm if I remember right, hidden away where you first start zero hour normal version.
I can never beat the mission in the Time limit. It’s fun to repeatedly play though?
@@gamingforever2614 you have to do the mission w the knight first, but yes, i do believe that is the first time we get to really work with him
Byf: "Mithrax worships the great machine"
Mithrax: "from the moment I discovered the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me."
RIP Sloan, I miss that fantastic soldier.
I miss her too. She was like the doom slayer in my eyes.
I personally believe shes still in that suit punching the pyramid. Over and over and over. It's my favourite headcanon
what happen to sloan ??
@@jasonlee2438 Stayed behind on Titan to fight the Pyramid ship that arrived in Season of Arrivals. The Vanguard lost contact with her, Asher Mir and Brother Vance when the Darkness consumed the planets and the Traveler healed itself
I have a feeling that she is in a Pyramid held captive or something. Asher is probably not able to be found, because he may be a Vex mind.
“No loyal-lies.” I don’t know why but god do I love that line.
Cause Variks hasn't proven himself to be as trustworthy as Mithrax here.
No spider tricks was a good one too, considering how underhanded spider is.
Mithrax being revealed as a splicer really makes me see the whole Titan mission in a different light. Makes sense that he was always 2 steps ahead of us.
My favourite part is when Byf voices Mithrax. Flawless.
Jeez, you really meant it when you said content every day-
So glad Misraaks’ survival is canon. I still regret accidentally killing him with a rocket that was meant just for the Knight.
How is that possible bro u have advanced tracking 😓
@@hyperknuckles2258 I have a large blast radius.
@@silverthehero1295 this is why i dont use you D:
@@orangesbeyond9824 I deserve love too.
Imagine the guys who killed mithrax and cant participate in the new season
I really hope that he is not mad at me for killing him three years ago.
He was spared by canon, so...
@@TheLegitAlpha True. But I am still confused about how Sepiks came back.
@@WhoisPersona Space magic :D
@@WhoisPersona sepiks never really came back, think of it like replaying a d2 y1 strike during year 4. It didn't actually happen then, its just playable because its a game
@@benjaminzalepa sepiks perfected: riiiiiight...
Can't wait to see how Saint reacts to Mithrax and the house of Light
Space-racism, if you play the Override missions.
lore daddy has blessed us with his knowledge again
The face of delighted realization I made when it hit me that Misraaks is the eliksni that we encountered on Titan was amazing, dammit I miss the old planets and their missions
I hope Mithrax mentions that he recognizes us as the guardian who spared his life on titan
I have a feeling mithrax going to be my favorite character
god i’ve loved Mithrax ever since i first saw him on titan
Same. But, weirdly, the first time I heard about him was in some fanfiction and I became obsessed with his character.
Do you guys like my new drip? I think Sjur would be proud...
Drip is stupendous sir
It's 10/10 mad drip
Ye
You got the drip
10 out of 10... but mine is better. But you're a Eliskni and I'm a hunter, soo the only comparison is we both wear cloaks.
I am wearing a Eliskni skull though. .. ...... don't get mad at me please. I saved you remember.
man I remember that mission on titan from my first month starting, "do we like the hive or fallen better?" "eh fuck em both" *large explosion follows*
Ngl, I would like to be Misraaks’ right hand man with his house. He has one of if not my favorite stories in Destiny
Was I the only one who killed the knight first just to have a 1 vs 1 with the captain who toyed with me, and then got surprised with the smart guy bowing and leaving the reactor behind ?
Petition for Byf to make a lore video about the baby fallen and their families.
Edit: thanks for 16 likes!
Yes, please, the baby fallen!
Perhaps we could call them... *Ballen?* Seen the name the *Smallen* go around too.
@@Azrael_Equinox I haven’t thought of that, nice one.
he said hes making one
@@Azrael_Equinox smol not small. Smol is a cuter version of small.
I thought the lullaby you had on a previous video was very touching. Seeing the baby fallen makes it soooo much more powerful
I can't wait to hear Byf sing Hope for the Future
As soon as I saw Mithrax in the season preview I was so excited for the lore dives into him. He's a fascinating character and imagine if by Witch Queen or Lightfall we have a wing of the tower with Eliksni refuges. Heck, some of the images on the Season of the Splicer page make it look like they'll be some Eliksni influence added to the HELM.
This comment aged like fine wine
@@fatalscare9945 Thanks, Byf is the master of the lore but I love to put on my "What if..." hat now and again. :)
Bro, I discovered your channel two days ago, and have been watching lore vid after lore vid. Bravo, sir.
I love how byf speaks almost every destiny 2 dialect fluently
Seriously where do you find all this lore it's absolutely amazing every time
So happy to see some evolution of Mithrax and that dope ass character model update they gave him.
Way back when, i was curious to know if sparing the hive and not the captain yielded the same result, the Hive Knight showed me its gratitude by giving me a closer look at its sword...
I’m really looking forward to having Mithrax is the forefront of the game. He has always been an interesting character that was in the lore (mainly). Will be great.
FALLEN BABIES TOMORROW WOOO YEAH BABY THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT’S WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT
This is one of those seasons where I couldn’t care how bad it actually is, because I’m in it for the story and lore. Mithrax has been a favourite character of mine in the lore for some time and seeing him take a massive part in a season has me ecstatic
Let’s go Byf!!! You’re the best
So excited - been wanting Mithrax content and story since we met him.🤗
A ally Fallen house that's on the travelers side is dope af and Mithrax was talked about from Variks a lot and he always sounded dope
God I still remember the end of the quest on Titan. I was very new to the game and was only thinking about how disgusting I thought the Hive was despite watching the Knight and Mithrax go at it for a minute or two. So I haphazardly killed the Knight while trying not to hit Mithrax and was very surprised and pleased that I didn't have to fight him too. Needless to say, I was very excited when I found out he was in the cellar at the Farm even though Zero Hour was the bane of my existence (I love Outbreak though. Ironically it carried me through a good portion of the Beyond Light campaign while I was underleveled and I am VERY excited to finally get the catalyst).
Baby Fallen... oh you mean "Smallen." Sorry I heard someone say that and now every other term for them just gets glossed over.
15:37 is my fav bit I never expected something like that in one of your lore videos lol
Wow that brought back some memories. But 15:40... Same, I watched them battle for a bit and was like "Eh, they can both lose." I didn't know about the actual ending until I saw a video and my Hunter let Mithrax live. Cool guy. Seemed chill.
Mithrax is probably going to be a Eliksni Vanguard in the future when we get a new playable class
We aren’t going to get a new class, just new subclasses
The accent you used for Mithraxs in the Queensbreaker lore reminded me of the Belter-speak on The Expanse.
The last time I was this early
It was the destiny complete timeline vids
Excited to potentially see more sjur eido lore. Wish ender has not left my inventory since I picked it up and rarely does it leave my primary slot. That plus learning and hopefully allying with the eliksni? Shaping up to be my fav season yet. I love the eliksni ❤
Mithrax's English has become so much better than it was in the lore readings. Good job, buddy.
It would be cool if mithrax does turn out to be a vendor, he has special dialogue if you have wishbringer equipped like saint does if you have his helmet
I am a simple man... I see Mithrax, I click.
When I first did the rat King mission, I focused down the Knight. When I went to attack the captain I noticed mithrax back off so I did the same. Got the alternative ending and lost it!
I can distinctly remember using my bubble to protect that Captain, having been gone so long I am so glad the Eliksni are becoming our allies
Ngl I clicked on this and thought it was from yesterday
I'm imagining that Drake meme.
Human babies? No.
Eliksni babies? Yes!
I got the right ending for "Enemy of my Enemy" the first time through. I've always liked the Eliksni. And the Captain talking to you, combined with the mission name, made me kill the knight and not shoot him. Especially that last line from ghost.
the soundtrack fits the lore so beautifully 😌👏🏼
Byf be like- "man, y'all really like baby fallen sheesh"
Us- we saw your live reaction of the precious smallen, you can't fool us, you want this too
“New promise not unmake an old” - Thee light kell, Misraaks. I could never really hate the fallen. For a whole lot of them, all they knew was violence so that’s what they do. And it’s kinda funny that you could apply that now too, all it takes is that one act of kindness in any form and it sets the person on a completely different trajectory in life.
"The people Sloane likes tend to wind up in crossfire in indefenceable positions, Ask me how I know." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Landfall is like that"
Big warlock main feels right there. I may have also had that same issue where once I learned what you could do in the mission I pleaded a friend who hadn't played it yet to let me join them on my warlock just so I could get the canon ending on that character
I like how eliksni add Kel to the end of someone they see as their leader's name, like Marakel - Mara sov or Ikorakel
Mythrax looks now like the coolest DJ in the block, I was looking forward for him to finally step up in the story.
Ah that age old question that has intrigued Lore Masters throughout he ages: How is babby fallen formed?
'Sunset', what a nice way to say deleted, taken away. I would love to experience these things...
I think the funniest thing about most humans is that we instinctually love anything's babies.
The moment that there is a small defenceless thing with big eyes is the moment a humans guard is truly down. From bears to aliens, I’m pretty it doesn’t even matter at this point. God I love that. That No matter what happens in this world, babies will always take priority;)
Making me tear up now haha
The once-dreg drinks the strange drink, taking in the gift from a random guardian who had thought to thank her for her hard work. Variks was in the building behind her, she had come to enjoy the small room with the human toys, and this drink warmed her as it fizzled in her mouth. She had grown with the ether-gifts that her patron had scavenged from the Reef and Riis-Reborn for her. She had proven herself and earned the guardian's trust, and with it earned both ether and weapons to protect herself.
Her days were spent with scouting, placing beacons, and protecting Variks should a stray Vex or pike patrol come this way, though the guardians do it themselves more often than not. She had even gotten the hang of their strange language without need of a translator, Variks was useful in that regard.
"Resting on the job?" A voice came from behind her, she turned and saw the sly one and the guardian that roped her into all of this. The sly one sat down next to her and looked at the gift. "Oooh, I'd kill for some soda right now."
"Then go home and get some." The warlock said, they both wore helmets but she could hear the smile in his voice. The hunter looked back and laughed.
"Like I'd let a warlock get a step ahead of a hunter during the Guardian Games." The contest of the guardians had drawn many of them to the planet. She remembered similar contests among the old houses. She lifted the drink as she had seen guardians do, "May best of you win."
The Warlock nodded. "We will." To which the hunter laughed and walked away, the large one was behind them holding one of the toys.
"And to you." She said to the titan. The warlock and hunter looked between each other and laughed, the titan's shoulders slumped. The once-dreg got a feeling that the titan-house was having difficulty in their contest. Then the warlock tossed a transponder to her, on it was a symbol, the symbol of House Light. She looked up to him, expectantly. He nodded.
"It's time, Athryx. It's time."
Whoo! So excited for the Season! Thanks Byf!
Throwin shade(binder) at Eramis breakin out of the ice infront of her like that. @21:35
Yay! Smollen/Liliksni lore tab!
Don't burn yourself out again Byf, you can take it more slowly if you need to! Move at your own pace my man. We love the content but only if it's not at your expense!
Could you try and do a video discussing everything you know about the Eliksni? Their beginning to their current time?
Byf, once again, thank you for doing these, they are always amazing.
Now Here is a good bit that would be interesting, what if at the end of the season Mithrax was killed and become the first Eliksni Guardian, and in some part, fulfill a prophecy within there race?
So this was the guy who was kinda the guide/helper for the outbreak perfected quest. Seeing him again is like seeing an old friend from school.
It's a good thing I've been brushing up on my eliksni
In my first playthrough I spared Mithrax. I honestly was quite happy when Ghost 'accidently' freed Mithrax when he was trapped.
Surprised you didn’t bring up the Truth lore tab (which is from his perspective) or mention when Variks said he died but came back to life.
Otherwise, good summary of Mithrax. Can’t wait to learn more about my boy.
It also makes me wonder if a Sacred Splicer possibly has a connection to role of the Speaker.
Otherwise, a really good summary.
It's crazy to think this character from a tiny little adventure on Titan is a fully fledged character with his own season now it's so cool
the Splicers are a worldbuilding retcon added in Rise of Iron, each Eliksni House having harbored them. Since Mithrax was originally from House of Wolves, it is possible that Skolas had access to Mithrax' expertise on splicing Vex tech, & maybe thats how Skolas was able to pull his Wolves across time. Maybe Skolas' Splicers were armed with House of Winter's Splicers & their intel on the Vex, since they were stationed on Venus, salvaging Golden Age resources from Ishtar.
I also didn't kill Mithrax on my first try. I didn't hesitate to put that's knight down. The Eliksni have been my favorite race in destiny from the start. And to have the choice to spare one gave me hope that we'd one day see some as allies. And we did! Now I hope we can play as an Eliksni in the future
Imagine Mithrax becomes the first fallen guardian 👀
In the season trailer mithrax says something like "I can lead you to it, but I cannot go with you" which is basically exactly what he did with both the reactor on titan and the outbreak perfected
I hope we get an epic battle cutscene where eliksni and guardians are fighting vex together as allies. Would be epic
