  • Destiny 2's Lore and Story shows us the power of Xivu Arath's true champion. Ir Uulxal, The Leviathan Eater was there at the battle against the Hive's first enemies, The Ammonite. He defeated the truly titanic Leviathan from the Books of Sorrow and has faced the Ammonite's Light-based weapons that were sourced from the Traveler itself. His reputation as a combatant is truly fearsome, and his experience against the Light has proven that he is worth taking seriously.

    Something important to note about the Ammonites: the Traveller gifted them a song called the "song of life", which must have been pretty powerful because the Hive were eventually able to create a mirrored version of it in the form of the first Deathsong. This original Deathsong was so powerful that 12 Deathsingers spaced out around a planet could singlehandedly bring it to ruin.

    Honestly not having Ir-Uulxal not attack me was... Not unnerving but definitely made me feel really odd. He didnt stare at the wall, he just stood there tracking all my movements. It felt like he was analyzing me and gauging my combat prowess. When i got near him he almost immediately deleted me which was really cool to see. This hive champion of war, just hyper analyzing everything i do and when i finally approach him out of curiosity he kills me immediately. Shit was cool.

He was also known as the equivalent of a boogieman to the Eliksni. That’s just one Guardian! We have broken Crowns, Disciples, Gods, and even Time itself.

      There was some lore about that from back in Witch Queen, iirc it roughly boiled down to him believing Humanity took the Ghosts, and the Traveler, for granted and that without both of them their whole species would be extinct. That resentment was then ratcheted up into outright hatred when we started crushing Hive Ghosts en-masse.

  • @DrBootySmackPhD
    @DrBootySmackPhD 10 місяців тому +8

    I would think the Ammonite used the light from the gift mast to give them and their allies a kind of permanent Stat buff while also harvesting the light for infusion I to their weapons similar to how uldren took a chunk of the traveler and used it or similar to how the scorn could make paracausal bullets. They wouldn't need to be like Gaul since the light was given and they were chosen. They also wouldn't eat it like the hive. Mayhaps it just permeated their surroundings and benefitted them externally. Then the traveller came to us, got beat up, and said "enough, you deal with them, I'm gonna take a nap".

  • @PixelleHearts
    @PixelleHearts 10 місяців тому +18

    I believe that the Traveler actually blessed the Ammonite with light powers rather than just harnessing the light to use weapons. Why? Because of the context that Witness gave us during the Sathona cutscene in Witch Queen. The Witness said that it wanted to claim the Krill before the Traveler was able to claim them first. Why the use of "claim"? If the Witness truly wanted to, it could have just Taken the entire planet, or at least the key forces of the Krill dynasties for itself, as, at the time, none of the Krill were capable of withstanding its influence because they were so meager. The Witness was afraid that it could lose a potential force to the Light. It doesn't really seem as if it was feasible to Take Lightbearers, which is why the Witness used The Hive as its proxies to destroy the Ammonite instead, otherwise, it could have just Taken the Ammonite instead. I believe that the Ammonite were indeed actual Lightbearers through sheer connection to the Traveler and its blessing, whereas we humans were forcefully given the Light because it was a last ditch effort because there was not enough time to cultivate and invoke the Light into an entire civilization, thus sending the Traveler to sleep. It was only then, when we defeated the Heart of Darkness in the system when the the Traveler began to heal because it was a display of our power to prevail over Darkness, which encouraged the Traveler to arise from its slumber. Ghaul would then later coerce the Traveler out of its sleep once again out of desperation, but also proved that the Light could be channeled into anyone given the enough volume and time to cultivate it, much like how we can invoke Darkness without an external body like a Splinter.

    • @weaselprime8654
      @weaselprime8654 10 місяців тому +3

      There are two very large problems with your theory. The first is that the Witness very obviously CAN'T just Take whichever Lightless sap it feels like. Why is this obvious? Because there are non-Guardian NPCs around, notably including Caiatl and every single one of the Cabal wearing her colors. If the Witness could just Take whoever, Caiatl would be a shadow with a spotlight for a face in Torobatl's aftermath. Instead, she's a rallying figure for Cabal survivors throughout the known galaxy.
      The second problem is that we literally just switched over to Season of the Witch from Season of the Deep, and Sloane's situation showed very clearly that the Light does not make one immune to Taking.

    An Easy way to headcanon-fix the "narrative incongruance": The Lucent Hive arent pushovers. They were fighting off Xivu Araths Horde just like us. We found the last holdouts at the top of the Spire. Is this doing Xivu Araths work for her? No, because once Xivu Araths Horde gets there, so will 3 other Guardians. People are constantly running this activity.

Having simple acknowledgements of villains like with Xivu acknowledging Kelgorath and now the Leviathan Eater, or Eramis with Praksis in Seraph really goes a long way to help make these unqiue looking bosses feel important outside the lore.

      Based on the Hive I'm 99% sure her Transformation will change, or at least should, as she gets stronger. All 3 of the original Hive Gods went through multiple metamorphosis' over their thousands of years alive gaining power. So I would assume that Eris will go through a second Metamorphosis amd become much larger later in the season or possibly next season.

    Crota, Oryx, Savathun. This Leviathan Eater will be just another name in our ledger, and there is room for more.
    The Ammonite probably had some sort of innate connection to the light that allowed them some moderate control over it. Haven't we heard of another species with a similar connection to paracausal powers before?

I love being a God-Killer. It's time we face another who has obtained that title.

    Dear Byf,
    I know that this will probably get buried in the pile, but I just wanted to say thank you so, SO much for all the awesome content you make to share with us, and for being such a beacon of relentless positivity. You’re one of a select few channels that I would happily watch and recommend, regardless of the type of content you produced, simply because of the positive vibes that you put out into the world. The fact that you serve this community as the foremost navigator through the lore of my all-time favourite fictional universe is just an added benefit on top of what you already are: a person of truly superlative character.
    In what feels like an ever colder, more cynical era, people like you stand out as lighthouses in the dark, and I can’t say enough how grateful I am for that. The care and attention you put into all your work is amazing; it makes me want to work harder and be better as a writer and content creator, to live up to the standard you set with all you do. The love you have for these games and the world they create for us to enjoy is absolutely plain to see in everything you craft. I know that the Destiny community has a reputation for being somewhat toxic, but as long as there are people like you (and Myelin) at the helm, I think we’ll be just fine.
    You continue to be, as always, an inspiration to me in terms of the work I do on my own videos, and I don’t know if I can think of a more sincere, heartfelt compliment than that.
    This is starting to run a bit overlong, so I’ll wrap this up with a curiously apt quote from another of my favourite writers, Matthew Stover:
    “The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins - but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
    Love is more than a candle.
    Love can ignite the stars.”
    I wish you and those who have the privilege of calling you their friend or family all the best. Keep ‘em coming, and as you always say: see you starside,
    -NB

  • @seanmurphy7845
    @seanmurphy7845 10 місяців тому +4

    My continued complaint about how the writers treat Xivu Arath is that they build her up as a force to be reckoned with by having the characters refer to her as this massive threat, only for the actual story to see he defeated time and time again.
    Easy fix I would’ve implemented?
    Season of the Deep. Have us stop the ritual to Take Ahsa only to see Xivu Arath kill her before we glean the information we need. Better yet, if we want to build up the threat of this season, then we could catch a glimpse of the Leviathan-Eater being the one to do the deed.
    Now we find ourselves with no choice but to fall back on Savathûn, someone formerly affiliated with the Witness who stole the Veil and placed it on Neptune.
    It just sucks that she’s treated as much of a punching bag as Kelgorath when Savathûn had years of battles against us that were a mixture of victories and defeats.

    • @jackthompson7546
      @jackthompson7546 10 місяців тому

      And how savathun essentially makes her seem like the little child in comparison to this God of war. Like I'm not really afraid of her outside her head is on backwards and is crazy about sword logic. Outside of that I don't really see her as a God of war yet. Where savathun was a real hyped moment to finally get her to show up in game

    • @S3Cs4uN8
      @S3Cs4uN8 10 місяців тому

      This is kind of a problem with all of Destiny 2's recurring villains, they rarely ever get actual victories over us. Even Savathun was victim to this as many of her schemes were failures or just ended up amounting to nothing. This could be averted if Bungie were willing to give Xivu-Arath or any other antagonist goals that aren't just 'This season/expansion I'm going to destroy the Last City!' Which places them in a situation where for the game to actually continue they have to lose.
