    @gavo7911 Рік тому +70

    What if it wasn’t a piece of Nezarec that was on The Witness’ Pyramid? What if it was his scythe? As weird as that sounds, we’ve been reminded over and over that Darkness is all about consciousness, memories, and emotion. I’d wager that a weapon wielded by a monster like him that has destroyed countless worlds would have ample memories attached to it. So when those metaphysical imprints of Nezarec’s past slammed into the Traveler’s beam of Light, they were made manifest due to the Light being all about physicality. And thus, he was reborn in a new form, one that befits the Final God of Pain as he surely would like to be remembered.

      Rhulk' glaive and Nezarec's scythe (a sword) should have been the raid exotics for these raids. I miss the time when raid exotics were actually tied to te bosses and told a story. Touch of malice made of Oryx's heart etc. These new exotics don't feel like they're connected to the raid in any way.

Since it has both Stasis and Solar parts/dmg on it, it's like power of Light (Solar) + power of Darkness (Stasis), so it obviously refers to the beam of light shooted by the Traveller inside the ship (which ended in this fusion of Light and Dark on the weapon).

    Hello everyone I have a theory I would like to share just a fun theory but my theory is that the reason nezarec is probably seen as a god and worshipped by the psions is cause he was a great psion flayer before he ever met the witness and was seen as a warrior among he people and then when he met the witness, and when the witness gave him his powers of the dark he transformed as how you see him in the raid now, so what my theory is that the tormentor’s are psions are mutated darkness psions and here are some similarities between the psions and tormentors to back up my theory, first the psions use a attack which is a purple energy ball that goes through the ground and sends you upward doing damage, a tormentor use a attack which is a purple portal/ whirlwinds that come flying at you and knocks you upward and back just like the normal psion move but 10x stronger, another similarity is there meele attacks, a psion meele attack would hit you with a purple blast from the palm of their hands, a tormentors meele/grab is which they hold you in their and hands and hit with multiple purple blast coming out the palm of their hands. To finish this theory the tormentors we fight in a lightfall are chosen psions by Nezarec and gave them his power, hints as some of the tormentors name such as, imprints of Nezarec

      @@JeffreyAppSteam Just pointing out that Nezerac's head wasn't put on a tormentor body. The tormentor body literally grows from the head as we explore the raid. In the begining after the first encounter if you look inside the crystal you se the shoulders and parts of a torso attached to the the helmet. After we activate the root and return to the final encounter he has a full body in the crystal and burst out. It seems like light healing gave him that tormenter body.
      In my opinion it is the tormentors that are copies of Nezerac not the other way around. The lore says that tormentors are a result of cooporation between the witness and cabal I see 2 ways this could be true. 1) Nezerac is from a lost species and the Tormentors are darkness enhanced cabal tech clones of him. 2) He was a "god thought" mega psion flayer harvesting power from other psions before being recruited by the witness and Tormentors are other psions inbued with parts of his power.

    So right now I'm spin-foiling, but I wanted to write it down before I forget. Nezarec mentioned the Veil holds "the sapid secret of [the Witness'] first victims." Sapid means 'having a strong, pleasant taste', and coupled with the phrasing of "victims", I would argue Nezarec is saying that the Veil is comprised of some fear/pain/loss of the first species the Witness sacrificed in its pursuit of the Final Shape.
    Now, given that we also hear that Strand is a byproduct or 'trace' left from the Veil's creation or existence (not sure which, maybe both), and that Strand is 'The River of Souls' to the Neomuni, then it has to do with life force, similar to how Deepsight deals with memory and Stasis deals with entropy. Nezarec considers the Veil and its' creation to be "strongly pleasant tasting," which to him would mean it would have to do with something awful. So, SO --- If strand (a byproduct of the Veil) is related to life-force, and the Veil gives it off, and Nezarec likes it as one does a dessert....
    The Veil may very well BE the remnants of that "first species" the Witness encountered (read: destroyed). Now when we take this interpretation, and couple it with the strange "veiled female figure" statues seen in various Pyramids (and Clarity Control), and the name "Veil" starts making more and more sense. These statues are, perhaps, remnants or effigies of this "first species" - one that must be truly ancient, since the Witness was already quite old when it came to claim the proto-Hive species.
    Yikes.

No one actually gives a crap about those distinctions because they aren't necessary to functionally enjoy what you're playing. Unlike traditional RPG titles which needs you to know which enemy to farm for what item to drop, Destiny drops are actually separated by the exact mission you're in, or locale you're on. Over world drops, specific type nightfall drops, so knowing the bestiary is absolutely pointless in this game.

So speculate if one would add one disciple from the Hive with 3 eyes and one from the fallen with 4 eyes there would be left with 1-eyed and 5-eyed to have all 7 disciples (if there are 7) with each the amount of eyes from 1 to 7! is this to far fetched for a theorie?

    Obviously he probably did take that pyramid and they don’t want to draw attention to it, making the Shadowkeep story null. But it’s still an unanswered question.
    And as for the witness finding a piece of his body- when was that? Recently? Did a follower find a piece since season of arrivals?
    I’m wondering if the traveler rezzing Nezarec was a 5d chess move for some yet-discovered reason. It doesn’t look like it hurt the witness any, so I wonder if the beam intended to resurrect Nezarec or the interaction of light and dark in the pyramid is more important than it seems.

After completely catching up, I've got to say, Destiny's lore it's such a huge mess and all over the place. Bungie has a really bad habit of answering people's questions with more questions until it becomes a huge confusing web of unanswered plot points where Savathun is always behind everything. All this buildup and DLCs, and we still know next to nothing about those pyramids and who the hell the Witness is. My prediction is after 5 DLCs or so, maybe just maybe Bungie will give us a crumb. Something tells me that after we solve this whole Traveler and Witness predicament we probably will take on The Nine next.
    It's a shame that this is what Destiny has devolved into but I'm happy that people are at least having fun playing it.

    Hearing that Savathun is the one who killed Nezarec before makes me question why she didn't just tell Mara and the Guardians what she was up to. If she couldn't do it while she had her worm then I wonder why she couldn't do it after she had the light. A lot of fighting could have been avoided if she had.

      When she became a guardian she lost all her memories and had to trick us into regaining some of her memories.

      One this I don´t understand is WHEN did Savathun killed Nezarec and where would be nice to know aswell. Do you know?

      The second her worm was excised Mara sov tried to SHANK her. I don’t think we gave off a “talkative” vibe to her. She tried to reason with us during the witch queen campaign and our ghost yelled at her in a rage. She knew us as an ally wasn’t an option back then. Now that the guardians know what she was up to however the alliance with the hive might actually be possible

    That Mykel lore makes no sense, how is he interacting with these races and guardians if he's ancient.

      Mykel isn't ancient.. his family line has worshipped Nezrac for generations.. he was just the latest. I think Evaze just misspoke

    if the witness knew about the warlords then that pretty much confirms he transcends death

    What if savathun looked at the destiny universe as a chess game and she is 17 moves ahead of everyone except Mara sov. Who herself is playing chess and is both smart and very strategic in how she plays her pieces and know that savathun will eventually come knocking. From the ending scene we are gonna be fighting inside the traveler for a final battle that could be very epic and awesome
