Destiny 2’s Lore and Story from the Season of the Wish drops a hint about how Cayde 6 might be resurrected in The Final Shape. In one passage including Crow and an illusion of Mara, Crow wishes he could tell Cayde that he’d made a mistake. Importantly, he wished for it, and it appears that wish magic was used. Likely this was Riven, but it might've been another Ahamkara.

      This is defiantly how cadye will be ressed. Also haven't watched the vid fully yet but, the twist or curse to the wish will be either crow dies or cayde can't leave the traveler.
      Edit: now that ive watched the full video another curse may be that riven takes control of cayde, This would make sense after seeing caydes eyes in TFS.

    I think Crow wishing he could just "tell" Cayde that he shouldn't have done it, is what gets Crow through the portal. Crow gets through the portal and gets to see Cayde and tell him. This would also make Crow killing Cayde alway part of the plan so Crow would make the wish to tell Cayde he shouldn't have done it.

      Yeah I was thinking the two wishes could really be brought into one. Send one guardian through the portal in order that he may apologize to Cayde. It's not really a separate wish as much as it is just a little more involved. Then again there are two people involved- Savathun & Crow. Don't know what the contracts of Wish magic say about adding individuals to an already contracted Wish.

    Edit: I also really like how, if Riven does indeed fulfil Crow's wish, the story really comes full circle. The next question is did she do it maliciously or did she take a page out of Taranis's book as her final act? Who knows. I'm all over this story man!

      I think she took a page out of taranis's book personally. We see that she's seemingly genuinely appreciative of crow's willingness be a mouthpiece for Taranis's last words to her, so I think this wish is both a thank you for that, and maybe even an apology for what she manipulated Uldren into doing. She even apologizes to him verbally as Mara, but it of course seems like it was Mara apologizing at first. But with the context of that being riven, I think that the apology was more than just her playing the part to convince Crow, it was indirectly sincere.

    I think that this all hints at Riven possibly having affection toward Crow and feeling bad about how his life turned out after she manipulated him and it didn't turn out as Riven intended Forsaken to go. I think she genuinely likes Crow and possibly admires/respsects Mara in a way.
    Crow asked if she mourned "I did.... [Riven] is silent for a moment. 'And I regret what I did to you. The manipulation'..." I know Riven said she'd grant one last wish, but this seems to be her trying to fix what she broke in Crow/Uldren and make ammends for how his life went when she got involved. If it weren't for Riven, Uldren wouldn't have created the Skorn, killed Cayde, the Dreaming City was cursed, Savathun's (Osiris) manipulation, Crow being killed/beaten repeatedly by angry Guardians, always feeling alone, etc. Riven isn't bad/evil she's just chaotic and after we save her kids, she remembers her husband being a kind being, it makes her take on some of that and try to do good before she dies?..dies again?

    I think Riven could fulfill this wish BY fulfilling Savathun's wish of someone following the Witness, thus allowing it to be "another" wish. Crow goes to fulfill Savathun's wish, and in the course of that he is met with this sort of "phantom" Cayde. Regardless of how it happens, I love the storyline this season and Crow's arc here. He's truly being a hunter following the Way of the Pathfinder while also maintaining his core as Uldren- as someone who is daring and learning to be so on his own, with a healthier connection to Mara than before.

      @garrettviewegh9028 4 місяці тому +1

      This seems like a very plausible way Cayde may return. Seeing him reborn as Light itself, I’d once speculated the inside of the Traveler is an afterlife for all long dead Guardian legends: the Iron Lords, modern day heroes from the Red War and past ten years, Hunter posses and Titan orders now gone, the Sunbreakers. Imagine, the Guardians about to lead the charge against the Witness, and suddenly portals appear out of nowhere, only for Radagast, Fellwinter, Liu Feng, Ouros, Shinobu, and millions of other Guardians, to march out alongside us. The Traveler within being a type of Valhalla for Guardians would be amazing. Though, I don’t think this is the case anymore. Maybe not.

    Riven is a better sibling figure to Crow than Mara confirmed.
    I jest, but... honestly, if we assume Riven isn't only saying what she is to wear down Crow's defenses but is instead genuine, the tone of this lore tab changes completely. I don't find it impossible that she regrets her past actions and is taking pity on him.

    • @ActuallyNTiX
      @ActuallyNTiX 4 місяці тому +9

      Riven is quite similar to Savathun in a way. They both can never be fully trusted, even when being genuine. Savathun seems to make her intentions known/partially clear, but conceals in what manner she chooses to approach her next moves. Riven makes her moves known but conceals the intentions behind them.
      Honestly, Riven and Savathun can be involved in a nature vs nurture debate with how complex they are. Riven has revealed that Ahamkara DO NOT NECESSARILY need to be as selfish and conniving as they are, as Taranis was (once) living proof of that, and Riven has made it clear that the only reason she hasn't spoiled everything involved in the bargain is because then we'd more than likely go back on it (like when she revealed only one can go thru).
      And Taranis has made it clear from his lore tab that he wants their children to be better than the ones from before.

      @@ActuallyNTiX They don't necessarily have to, but they still suffer in terms of sustenance. As Taranis said, wishes granted as is rather than twisted don't provide the same amount of nourishment as those monkey pawed so to speak. But to also be fair, Taranis' walk of life lead him to discovering things most Ahamkara probably never really figured out. Things in his life span panned out in a way for him to discover that they as a species could indeed live off of un-corrupted wishes. Though I think we also forget the lifestyle that Ahamkara live also leads to them basically fighting each other throughout their lives other than to mate. So the way Taranis was, may have caused a change in Riven.
      In fact I'd be willing to bet that the only reason she's slowly started to act differently, as in revealing that only one could go through, was probably because she got to talk to Taranis and understood why he did what he did, as well as reflecting on their time together. I wouldn't say we trust her completely, but I would say we shouldn't immediately and completely distrust her either.

Taranis has proven to me even if they aren't trying to monkey paw a wish, they still do in some way sometimes subtle sometimes grand. Taranis has a pure uncorrupted wish for his children's saftey, the monkey paw was it had to be in a universe without him, Crow's wish in the lore tab didn't say anything about Cayde Listening or hearing Crow's regret just that crow could say it to Cayde, and that would be a subtle monkey paw that could come about just from Cayde thinking, Crow is a Guardian he isn't Uldren even if he remembers his previos life so it isn't worth dwelling on.

    Gonna throw two theories of my own out there. One, I think Byf is right that Riven is going to grant Crow's wish, but a little differently than we might expect. After all, they feed on the chaos between reality and what is desired. Twisting the wish just enough to allow Crow to communicate with Cayde could give her a boost to survive. I think the second wish will be her own. I think she's going to pull a Taranis and sacrifice her essence for her children, since it's going to fade either way.
    The second thing is that bit about the 7 Ahamkara and their guardian pursuers. I'm wondering if maybe that's how Lady Efrideet's secret guardian community somewhere out in the farther reaches of the solar system was created? It would explain why it's never been found. Those guardians wish for a peaceful, protected place to live and some like minded wish dragons are happy to oblige. It's a bit more out there as theories go, but conceptually it could explain a 7 1/2 year old mystery.

    • @truekurayami
      @truekurayami 4 місяці тому

      On your second theory it wouldn't be to far out there for Ahamkara to have created a subspace for Efrideet's people with the effective monkey paw if that wish had been twisted was a one way path between that subspace and normal space so one might enter but never leave, or once you leave you can never return or even had knowledge it existed in the first place.

    I guess the name chosen for the ship (most likely one, that will be paramount to opening a portal in The Final Shape?) being "Unforeseen Consequences" is no coincidence. This is also the name of the chapter in Half-Life, where scientist (and protagonist) of the game Gordon Freeman finds himself after conducting an experiment in a test chamber (which also is quite similar in design to the ship or more likely: vice versa). In Half-Life, as a result of the experiment, a portal to the alien world of Xen is opened. Sounds familiar? ;) This event triggers more of these events in the future, leading to the Seven Hour War that was shown in Half-Life 2. Maybe, this is how the franchise will possibly continue after The Final Shape?

    The Traveller is cosmic potential energy without thought; hence why guardians are born blank
    The Veil is thought to incarnate
    When I saw the promotional video for Cayde I figured the Traveller who can't normally talk directly to anyone reached into the Veil when we entered and pulled out the memory of Cayde.
    It functionally is Cayde as the Veil records all of anyone's life, it would have every memory he does right up until that fateful moment he dies in our arms.
    So in this way the Traveller uses Cayde as a proxy voice to guide us to the Witness.
    I think the wish we see here just bends fate so that it is Cayde vs say any other figure the Traveller may choose for the same purpose.
    This means however I suspect this Cayde can't leave the Traveller either or if he can he's at best mortal like Osiris.

Swayed by her mates kindness and the contentness in knowing her children will live on she doesnt make any tricks or conditions with the wish. Though i imagine in the final shape that the wish wouldnt just go off without a hitch.

Thanks for the 10+ years of content and keeping me looped into the lore of the game, even when I falsely thought I was ready to walk away from the Traveller xD

    I just came here after the new cutscene and mission, really cool to see Riven not only being a little regretful, but also her being surprised at Crow’s answer. I initially assumed that this was just her checking up on something as a curiosity but it literally just came to me when I saw the title of this, and, holy shit. If this is true that ROCKS.

    • @amscarpi
      @amscarpi 11 днів тому

      Also the possibility that an ahamkara that may be involved in the dlc adds a possibility that it couldn’t be Riven, and could be from one that either wants to stop the Witness from doing something to it in the Traveler, or helping the witness maybe plant something to distract us? Could be either tbh

    Byf this would be an amazing lore bit to dive into, in the new lore books for the Wish-Keeper catalysts, it's revealed that Taranis was probably the Ahamkara that Albios, a warlock risen referenced a lot in D1, interacted with. I love this old connection they made and there is a ton of speculation about Albios and what he was like. And the way Taranis describes him is so compelling, like a peaceful and serene monk.

    I wish that we used the veil in order to resurrect Cade and gain his memories back (maybe all 7 lives) using the veil scents it's connected to the memory of the universe. But since wishes are twisted, this might be the reason why we only see Cade in the traveler and maybe he will be the "NPC" that we talk to in the traveler. Making Crow the top pick for the new hunter vanguard leader.

    My first thought after the overall story, and how Crow decided to walk first into the pale heart, is how Bungie give reminiscence of the tale of Rega and Ager, a bound nor light or darkness can cut. (linked to how the veil works and the way The Witness create the wsy to the pale heart)

    It depends what part of the season this conversation happened, but if it's later, Riven has kinda softened with the addition of Tanaris recently.

  • @romo_lampkin
    @romo_lampkin 4 місяці тому +1

    I think this right here is DEFINITELY Riven, and, because of Taranis's sacrifice has learned empathy and remorse. Riven reminds me of Caprica Six from Battlestar Galactica, in that she has a fondness for her enemy that eventually leads to her bonding with them and becoming a more benevolent person in the process. I think this whole experience genuinely gave her some legitimate growth. I also think she may have more wishes in store. What we've been seeing is her Ahamkara bodily instincts being separated from her soul/spirit/ghost/whatever-- she's got no NEED to feed, so she can truly be motivated by other things. Consider that we refer to ahamkara like forces of nature. What happens when you take the nature out?

    I believe that if we assume that savathuns wish was the last with riven couldve granted with her remaining power, it doesn't mess with anything. Ahamkara feed on what is and what is desired. Crow wishing that he could apologize to cayde leaves A LOT open for interpretation for riven, giving her the chance to feed on all that energy. And being reminded of Taranis and his method of granting wishes to protect the wisher and even give them more than they desire could have actually compelled riven to grant her only selfless wish. This could also have influenced the 15th wish. Instead of just allowing for one to follow the witness, she could have changed it to guarantee that one will reach the witness. Allowing Crow to be guaranteed to become our ancor.

  • @fizzyoddcod
    @fizzyoddcod Місяць тому

    It’s possible that the reason Riven can only grant one more wish is because she has no desire to twist the wish to enter the traveler or intends on granting herself a wish, Mr T went out because he granted his own wish. It’s likely that Riven is willing to doom herself to secure the future of her clutch.

    The emphasis on glowing eyes and shimmering form brought back an unsettling memory. That very first Final Shape teaser trailer where we see Ikora and Cayde, Cayde's eyes are glowing in an eerily similar way to Riven's in Last Wish (albeit blue instead of black, but of course Riven was Taken at the time). And we don't see him until _after_ Ikora speaks the words, "I wish you could have been there."
    Could the Cayde we get in TFS ... be an Ahamkara in disguise?

  • @edwindejesus365
    @edwindejesus365 4 місяці тому +1

    I find it more believable that riven just has enough power to grant more wishes, depending on how much power she needs. Perhaps something like resurrecting someone is much easier to do that opening a path to the traveler, so she can afford to grant these tiny little wishes, without exhausting enough power to eventually expire after granting savathuns wish. Besides, riven said savathuns wish is the last one I will grant. That could literally mean that after that wish, she will die, and not that she only has enough power for 1 more wish

  • @edgarmcgauleyedgar
    @edgarmcgauleyedgar 4 місяці тому +1

    Possibly, Crow's wish is so specific and so tiny that it cannot be misinterpreted. How else could Crow tell Cayde he regrets what he did if not passing through the portal into the Traveler, where time doesn't exist and all souls exists?

    • @truekurayami
      @truekurayami 4 місяці тому

      The whole phrasing that led to the wish that could allow a lot of "misinterpretations". He is asked if there was something in his HISTORY he could change. That alone is enough to create a time travel or regressor situation to twist the wish if it was riven and she wanted to really twist it.

  • @devist8er117
    @devist8er117 4 місяці тому

    I believe that when Riven states she will grant one last wish is only applying to the wish that she received from the Witch Queen when she was still alive. Once she grants the Which Queen's wish then she will fade away, but she is certainly willing to grant any other wishes in the meantime.
    Similar thing happened to Hefnd from Warlords Ruin. The last wish he received that we know of before being killed by Lord Shaxx was from Naim. He still granted other wishes after that in death as a means to get to that point, but once her wish was granted he faded away.

    since an Ahamkara's entire gimmick is rules lawerying the terms of the bargains they make, she did tell us she only had enough power left to grant US one more wish. The wish we put into the wall to get Crow through the portal was Savathun's wish, so Riven didn't lie, she just exploited our assumption that she meant I can only grant one more wish for anyone at all. When her eyes flash in the lore tab, that's her granting her actual final wish for Crow.

    I feel as though Riven may be showing a twinge of compassion. She understands that she was at one point taken, and caused much more harm than she usually cares to create. Caydes death being a byproduct of her lack of control may actually weigh on her, not out of guilt maybe, but more as in "This was not done by my will, so I undo it"
    Compassion, or regret, either way, Riven might not actually want Cayde dead. We never really know with Ahamkara. They just kinda vibe

  • @KeenDynamo
    @KeenDynamo 4 місяці тому

    My head cannon reasons for why I think this is how we see Cayde again:
    1: I believe the interaction between fake Mara and Crow came after Crow allowed Tyranus to speak through him for their final conversation.
    2: I think Riven, after finding out what Tyranus' final wish was, was inspired to do a selfless wish for Crow since she fucking WRECKED that dude and he still offered his voice for her final interaction with her mate.
    3: It's in her best interest for Crow/all of us to succeed. Ahamkaras are chaotic beings and the Witness is HEAVILY against chaotic magic. If the Witness wins then the Ahamkaras are FOR SURE on the chopping block.

  • @ehrix4468

    Riven told Mara she would grant (her) one wish but said nothing about granting wishes to others. Maybe in her attempt to choose a different path Riven wanted to make amends for her manipulation of Crow and granting a last wish was her way to do it.
