Timothy Becker hahah nice. Just read the creepypasta of the month. thought it was about the queen at first. The Harbinger Experiment. I did not know about that site, pretty cool!
saif Zaki I agree. Although the lines are very blurry between corruption and madness. Was Toland corrupted or mad?? Was Osiris corrupted or mad?? Everyone said they went made, but that might not be the case
see, what would've made Destiny better would be open world freeroam stuff. Imagine being able to physically travel from the tower down to the city, through the woods, and on rare occasion, you'd see a hunter out of nowhere, then at some point he'd try to kill you or something while holding red death, you kill him, and keep the weapon? Idk, feels like Destiny could've been so much better
Delta Crops ahhah. Xur: I am just going sell the Guardian Killer right here, if that is cool Vanguard: Ummm no, get out. Xur: No. You have not control over me.
As a red death user I'm proud to wield it knowing this. P.S never lost is ranged fight with red death unless a sniper rifle got involved but even then.
Destiny lore is so fascinating. They should implement the grimiore cards in the form of audio logs. With all the characters reading them. It'd make the universe immersion so much better
just wanted to note, I have lived every single one of your lore videos, they have consumed my life for the past few days. keep up the great work please, i deeply look forward to seeing more and new ones added
He's just telling you to watch out, because he has killed many guardians before so it shows that he's strong... And because he's a hunter, hunter master race! :)
What a brilliant, brilliant video. The lore around the game just becomes so so much better with work like this. BRAVO! I'm off to use the blueprint machine to get a year 2 version. I LOVE this weapon. It will never leave my side.
Dude I'm loving your videos because they are good. - Good Storyteller -Understandable -Not confusing -Simple You once again deserve a thumbs up and hopefully I don break the button again(hopefully)
Phantom Riot Thanks Phantom. That is my exact intention :) I try to make every video able to be watched by itself, so sometimes this adds additional time i.e had to talk about the Consensus and the Vanguard in this video, however I do think it is worth it. Nothing worse than going to a channel to find information and still not know what is going on. The other thing I would say, is I always try to interpret the card, not just read it. Personally, this was something that I really enjoyed from other UA-camrs, I dont really care about the card, I can read that by myself, I want to know how what you think about the card? (rhetorical question). Thanks for noticing
My god that was fantastic!! Sent shivers down my spine at points particularly the end. A fantastic and insightful video which has opened my eyes to the Lore around Red Death. Thank you
+Max Damian nice, thanks for the comment. I really enjoyed making this video, many did not like it because of all the speculation, however there was not much to go on! (well at the time anyway).
Another detail: look on the inside of yr2 suros. Behind the epic model you can see a normal red auto rifle model near the scope. Red spectre is apparently the test version of red death. It is a red auto rifle. Maybe the red spectre is inside suros regime? Would further explain your theory.
+Desh Holmes That would be cool. Guardian killing guardian. All they need to do is activate "Friendly fire" in patrol missions, and let you loot each others bodies. lol
I know you might not read this but there has been prototypes of red death that is a auto rifle that drops in the crucible so I do believe they did take the seruos replenish health factor but I know you might not comment back but yeah just wanted to say that
In regards to your Fallen Houses video: The House of Kings can also be found in Skywatch at the Last Array, they seem to be very interested in Rasputin, perhaps they could be a major antagonist for a DLC in the future.
TheDefeatedGamer awesome, yeah thanks for that. A couple of people have pointed out some different locations of the House of Kings. I agree. I quite sure they are also in one of the HoW missions, cant remember which one, but it is the room with a holograph in the middle of the traveler.
i usually don't do this because this is your channel and you can do what ever you want on it. i would like to know where the ruin wings came from, now i know there might not be a lot of information about them to make a video about them. i wouldn't mind a speculation like your hammer of sol video.
Ryan Rink oh cool, I have not had that request yet. I put all requests in a big word doc and then when I am deciding about what to write next, I scan the grimoire to see if there is enough info to make a video. Your request has been added :) thanks!
Greg Mcghee How can I say no... but I must be responsible... and look after your health... too much lore will make your head hurt and I heard that Johnny from school watched x3 lore videos in a row and his nose started to bleed...
Lynx The Hunter There will be lots of Lore to come with the TTK drop! I actually found a bit more about the 'Dead Zones' or the 'Frontier' when I was researching Thorn/Last Word. You will hear a bit more about that very soon. Likely Weekend release for Thorn lore :)
+Myelin Games The way you tell the lore about the Red Death makes it seem so ominous and mysterious! It's very interesting and I can't wait to see more of these lore videos. Keep it up :)
Does the new release of the legendary auto rifle "Red Specter" in the Taken King change your theory? In case you didn't know it will be a drop in the crucible and it has been confirmed to be the gun in which Red Death was derived from. Possibly a step in-between SUROS and the Red Death or possibly debunking your theory entirely but if you're looking for more evidence/info on this gun, check out My Name is Byf's channel, that's the only place I've seen the gun and it's curious arch-type of auto rifle featured. Love the channel and hope it continues growing!

Well done once again Myelin, I really thought there was no lore other than it was a guardian killer... I mean maybe there could be another form of civilization, like the Reef or the Nine. Maybe later we could see a group of rouge bandits trying to take over the city... and the "mad guardian" being the ruler, kinda like the speaker. :3 I wish Red Death had a bigger story to it, like Thorn, since it was my favorite gun I have gotten my hands on after 2 months of grinding the game non stop since day 1.
The Red spectre's description is something about being a red death prototype... I had one but forgot the description. I think it's interesting because it has the same look. I'm not going to try and make a new lore about it but letting anyone who reads this knows that.
Despite the fact that I got the Destiny Collection pack, in 2016 (I played the demo before 2015, okay?), I still saw the "It is a Guardian killer" line, after RoI dropped.
While copies of Red Death may have been used in the Faction Wars, I'm pretty sure the original "master copy" of the rifle was used by a renegade who attacked City assets with a large force of bandit followers. Possibly it was an early Strike or even a Raid that took him down.I love Red Death, I've mained it for so long and it will always have a special place in pvp.
Thanks for another awesome video Mylen! :) I really like the eerie mystery behind weapons like this. lol Maybe madness is a result of prolonged corruption? I remember seeing Titan armor with the straight edged blade similar to the one on the front of Red Death. Hmmmm...
Angel Pitner Nice, thanks for the comment. I think the madness comes from understanding the "truth". What ever the truth is? My version of the truth revolves around the Vex holding control over most timelines and that their is no hope, no way of victory :) Yep, forgot about that Knife, is pretty cool. Also forgot about Monte Carlo. Forgot about the only other gun with a knife attached!
Suros Regime has a chance of healing you after a kill, while Read Death does it for sure after you get a kill. So I assume this mad guardian obtained more of this "Smart Matter" to complete the healing perk.
There are many examples of Guardians falling into darkness, forging weapons and armor from it and wielding them against all they come across. And when they fall, new Guardians find their creations and build upon them. Making them deadlier, most recognizable, and impressed by it's power encourages more Guardians to forge weapons like these, and destroy the Darkness. Or eachother.
So in summary (correct me if I'm wrong) The "Red Death" frame is the "Marshall-A0" with modified optics, magazine, bayonet, heat shield, and other meshes. The healing factor is most likely smart technology that was stolen/scavenged from a rare suros regime auto rifle. Whether the suros rifle had a owner at the time is unknown. No one has any idea how this weapon time and time again keeps appearing to the vanguard, or how its managing to kill gurdians. (With no known issues from suros) There is no lore about this weapon other than suspicion, guess, or theory. The only thing known is that can kill gurdians. (Or maybe it used to, but doesn't anymore. Maybe bungie removed the "it's a gurdian killer" due to the fact they couldn't find a reason or proved lore at the time for how that is.
I wonder if FWC's device is Yzoz's Pendulum, considering the flavor text of the Artifact is in FWC's typical format and it says that the first tests of the device known as Yzoz's Pendulum didn't go well. I also think the Red Spectre might have been made by FWC to see if they could remake a Red Death from descriptions said of Red Death, which would explain the Auto Rifle archetype of the Spectre rather than it beign a Pulse Rifle. It would also lack the health restoration due to the lack of smart matter.
Sam Tipton I guess what you are saying is, "Is there something more to the Architects? Is bungie hinting at something?" If you believe Dr. Shims multiple realities, then the Architects are the Vex!
moldyicecream haha yes. Imagine that lore video. whole 5 secs. "The Architects are .... walls that you die on. The End. Like, comment and subscribe". lol
Actually, I believe that the red death is a suros marshal a1 model that was modded with regime parts, This would make sense with the time line because during the beginning of the city age, there would have been more lower level guardians, making the parts from low-level white weapons, such as the marshal more available, and say if when he was banished, he had a regime in his possession, he could have used those parts to give the gun its perks. Other evidence would be the undeniable similarities of the aesthetics in the Marshal a1 and the Red Death, until you ge to the muzzle, and exluding the studs on the red death, the only difference is a place to put a strap on the weapon and the paint job.
Upon further speculation about the "machine" future war cult presented us with, I believe the guardians were indeed seeing the future. But I believe what they were so truly terrified to see was the WE, the guardians, turn out to be the darkness. This whol game has pointed to this idea. I believe this was intended to be revealed at some point in the timeline of the original game, but was decided upon to postpone this reveal until later in the franchise.
I find the lore behind red death interesting think about lysander trying to take out the speaker, lysander was part of conquerdat which was replaced by future war cult and was banished from the tower was he not a hunter
Could the red death possibly be the shadow price left behind by toland? They are awfully similar in terms of aesthetics and it could have been modded into the pulse rifle that we all know and love. Just a thought.
im pretty sure toland created this weapon because he was interested in hive rituals so tried to replicate it providing an old pulse rifle. The blood on the rifle is his on provided for the ritual.He need power for it so he went on a killing spree killing guardians fueling red death. To afraid to dismantle it he got rid of it. (found this on reddit)
I think the red death was a crude attempt by the mad guardian to enhance the weapon by adding more smart matter, where the suros smart matter only partially took guardians light so as to not be fatal, the red death was over done by smart matter so as it fatally drained guardians health.
On the Vanguard's founding, its probable that the Guardians, the Titans, that help defend the wall during its construction united and formed the Vanguard. And for their great contribution, were awarded a seat in the Consensus. Speculation of course, but one can see that happening. I always thought the Red Death was fashioned by simple bandits using whatever they could scavenged of Golden Age tech but a Mad Guardian - a Mad Hunter. That is scary. Scarier thought is how many of these weapons were fashioned and still exist. Also, with a reputation like that, how long before it turns into one of the Weapons of Sorrow? That would be extremely terrifying.
SwiftGundam nice bro! yeah I agree, especially since commander Zavala appears to hold the seat and he is a Titan. The HoW cards has some interesting info on the first Iron Lords and how they also assisted in building the wall. Glad you enjoyed the Mad Hunter speculation :)
Could you later do a lore video later (after TTK) on what happened in the Dead Zones of Europe? I mean there will be widows court then the new DLC map. I hope there will be enough lore for that video :3 Also Id like to see Hunter lore, or all of the classes lore. Like how you said Hunters were experts of surviving out of the city.
Henry Coker haha, yeah that would be sick. "Bounty: Track the rogue guardian beyond the wall. He will be the one with the blood stained gun." That would be awesome, and just for irony, you kill him with SUROS
Smart matter is glimmer... It's currency because it can become anything else. Smart rounds, etc, refer to it being controlled by a computer, like modern smart rockets. The glimmer grimoire states that much.
Travis Tabor dude.... I am excited and nervous about TTK! It is going to be really cool writing videos about lore people have not seen yet and coming up with new theories!! at the same time... tad of pressure not to ballz it up
This felt a little bit more like a creepypasta... A destiny creepypasta. Wow
Timothy Becker hahah nice. Just read the creepypasta of the month. thought it was about the queen at first. The Harbinger Experiment. I did not know about that site, pretty cool!
Kabr and dredgen yôr went crazy
Dredgen was corrupted not mad
saif Zaki I agree. Although the lines are very blurry between corruption and madness. Was Toland corrupted or mad?? Was Osiris corrupted or mad?? Everyone said they went made, but that might not be the case
+Myelin Games here's a request. For ice breaker. And patice and time
I think red death sucks the light out of a guardian and uses it to heal the wielder
see, what would've made Destiny better would be open world freeroam stuff. Imagine being able to physically travel from the tower down to the city, through the woods, and on rare occasion, you'd see a hunter out of nowhere, then at some point he'd try to kill you or something while holding red death, you kill him, and keep the weapon? Idk, feels like Destiny could've been so much better
NiTEWoLF259 Completely agreed! Monster Hunter style, boi.
Da-Ja Thinks you mean the one with perfect server connection wins?
NiTEWoLF259 you won't HAVE a tower soon.
Error 404 server_connection/Destiny.exe not found.
The outro is kinda scary with that music and those words, lol
the order to destroy it was because the red death was played with in a crusible match and it killed a guardian and he could not be able to be revived
Red death was my first exotic. My 7 year old self loved this gun and I love this video
I remember Xur selling this weapon next to the Vanguards...
Delta Crops ahhah.
Xur: I am just going sell the Guardian Killer right here, if that is cool
Vanguard: Ummm no, get out.
Xur: No. You have not control over me.
with all these cool stories this could have been the greatest game of all time if they WERE IN THE GAME
"I advise you to ignore vanguard policy... and run." I was on Mars by the time he had said "run"
*Advises me to ignore the hunter in the wild*
*Pulls out my ghorn*
Aint nobody got time for that.
beware the blood hunter
mobiuszero *Blasts with Gally* Aint nobody got time for that.
+mobiuszero Correction: "Fear the Old Blood"
+Jack “The Ripper” Ripley hahahah yes!!!
+Unranked Person How did I miss this comment... Lets see how tough you are with ghorn nerfed!
"Mama? Is the story about the Red Death true?"
"Yes son, he killed your dad"
"D:"
+LapisDragon lol
AW MY HEART ;w;
As a red death user I'm proud to wield it knowing this. P.S never lost is ranged fight with red death unless a sniper rifle got involved but even then.
Destiny lore is so fascinating. They should implement the grimiore cards in the form of audio logs. With all the characters reading them. It'd make the universe immersion so much better
They have done that
just wanted to note, I have lived every single one of your lore videos, they have consumed my life for the past few days. keep up the great work please, i deeply look forward to seeing more and new ones added
+Justin McCormick Thanks Justin! and thanks for spending the time watching my videos! much appreciated.
By far the most connected and safest lore logic, the speculations are also safe, making these videos incredible arguments
the last part about seeing a hunter with red death gave me the chills awesome job man i truly love it
+CoC Raidz thanks dude.
The end scared me also why can't we kill the mad hunter is he to strong or something
He's just telling you to watch out, because he has killed many guardians before so it shows that he's strong...
And because he's a hunter, hunter master race! :)
+Randompancakes12345 k I just really want to fight this guy I just need red death
+Randompancakes12345 this should be a DLC.
You know the "Hunter isn't actually in the game? He is in the universe but you can't physically find or kill him.
Have you ever heard of "just pretending"
What a brilliant, brilliant video. The lore around the game just becomes so so much better with work like this. BRAVO! I'm off to use the blueprint machine to get a year 2 version. I LOVE this weapon. It will never leave my side.
+glyph2011 I just got mine and bumped it to 190. So helpful with health regen
Dude I'm loving your videos because they are good.
- Good Storyteller
-Understandable
-Not confusing
-Simple
You once again deserve a thumbs up and hopefully I don break the button again(hopefully)
Phantom Riot Thanks Phantom. That is my exact intention :) I try to make every video able to be watched by itself, so sometimes this adds additional time i.e had to talk about the Consensus and the Vanguard in this video, however I do think it is worth it. Nothing worse than going to a channel to find information and still not know what is going on. The other thing I would say, is I always try to interpret the card, not just read it. Personally, this was something that I really enjoyed from other UA-camrs, I dont really care about the card, I can read that by myself, I want to know how what you think about the card? (rhetorical question). Thanks for noticing
Myelin Games Sorry for the late reply, but what you do is very good. I also enjoy your point of view the "speculations" they sure make a lot of sense.
I have red death and mainly use Hunter. I'm gonna go in patrols with it and make you all shit your pants :p
Lol.
me to
My god that was fantastic!! Sent shivers down my spine at points particularly the end. A fantastic and insightful video which has opened my eyes to the Lore around Red Death. Thank you
Matt Fenn No probs Matt. Thank you for once again leaving a comment on one of my videos :)
this is my favorite destiny lore vid for some reason, i dont even like red death all that much it just makes so much sense.
+Max Damian nice, thanks for the comment. I really enjoyed making this video, many did not like it because of all the speculation, however there was not much to go on! (well at the time anyway).
Myelin Games but the speculation is what made it so much better in my opinion.
OMG I just remembered I'm wear a hunter cloak that say "made from the torn cloaks of other hunters. other, lesser hunters."
Whats it called?
your theory still stands IMO
red spectre is a prototype of red death, which people are trying to remake
I miss my red death, crimson just isnt the same
Wow dude that was an amazing video, so well done. Next time I use my Red Death, I might have chills lol...
Holy crap, coming to this vid from 2017 and it's crazy how the mad guardian did in fact see the fall of the tower, and the destruction of the city.
Reminds me of the White Witch ornament for Red Death, without all the skull marks, and black paint, and the blood trailing down it's frame.
Now that we met osiris now we know it's his followers that were mad . now the red death is crimson
Next lore episode Thorn and The Last Word
1/2 Black Chefs HD :)
I would like to see the Voidfang Vestments lore, great video by the way, love you!
This and Eris Morn lores were my two favorite, great job keep up the good work. Subbed.
+DarkMidgit177 thanks bro. I have done a vid on Eris. Eris is awesome, also one of my favourites
Another detail: look on the inside of yr2 suros. Behind the epic model you can see a normal red auto rifle model near the scope.
Red spectre is apparently the test version of red death. It is a red auto rifle.
Maybe the red spectre is inside suros regime? Would further explain your theory.
I think a dlc set in the time of the faction wars would be awesome
+Desh Holmes That would be cool. Guardian killing guardian. All they need to do is activate "Friendly fire" in patrol missions, and let you loot each others bodies. lol
Wish this could have gotten to include the red spectre , which with ttk we know from the flavor text is the autorifle prototype for red death
I'm a hunter, I have Red Death, and I'm part of the future war cult 0.0
I'm a Hunter. And I have Red Death..
.>
well that makes 2 O.O
3
7
+Max Damian 8 and I hate titans and warlocks
Half the destiny community
I know you might not read this but there has been prototypes of red death that is a auto rifle that drops in the crucible so I do believe they did take the seruos replenish health factor but I know you might not comment back but yeah just wanted to say that
In regards to your Fallen Houses video: The House of Kings can also be found in Skywatch at the Last Array, they seem to be very interested in Rasputin, perhaps they could be a major antagonist for a DLC in the future.
TheDefeatedGamer awesome, yeah thanks for that. A couple of people have pointed out some different locations of the House of Kings. I agree. I quite sure they are also in one of the HoW missions, cant remember which one, but it is the room with a holograph in the middle of the traveler.

Maybe he's the grim citizen?
great vid, more lore please, like a fat kid that wants more food...
Greg Mcghee How can I say no... but I must be responsible... and look after your health... too much lore will make your head hurt and I heard that Johnny from school watched x3 lore videos in a row and his nose started to bleed...
My goodness... That hunter is brutal! Pulling the trigger even after stabbing the target 0.0 (the intense blood surrounding the front)
run from a hunter? What drugs are you taking. I welcome the challenge
GRADION G haha, so true
Awesome Video Man u just got a new sub I finally found someone who does Awesome Destiny Lore Videos👏👍
Lynx The Hunter There will be lots of Lore to come with the TTK drop! I actually found a bit more about the 'Dead Zones' or the 'Frontier' when I was researching Thorn/Last Word. You will hear a bit more about that very soon. Likely Weekend release for Thorn lore :)
+Myelin Games The way you tell the lore about the Red Death makes it seem so ominous and mysterious! It's very interesting and I can't wait to see more of these lore videos. Keep it up :)
Does the new release of the legendary auto rifle "Red Specter" in the Taken King change your theory? In case you didn't know it will be a drop in the crucible and it has been confirmed to be the gun in which Red Death was derived from. Possibly a step in-between SUROS and the Red Death or possibly debunking your theory entirely but if you're looking for more evidence/info on this gun, check out My Name is Byf's channel, that's the only place I've seen the gun and it's curious arch-type of auto rifle featured. Love the channel and hope it continues growing!

Am I the only one that read the bloodborne references in sir williams voice xD
look at the weapon, Shadow Price's description and also how it has the exact same frame as the Red Death. I find this to be more than a coincidence
Well done once again Myelin, I really thought there was no lore other than it was a guardian killer... I mean maybe there could be another form of civilization, like the Reef or the Nine. Maybe later we could see a group of rouge bandits trying to take over the city... and the "mad guardian" being the ruler, kinda like the speaker. :3 I wish Red Death had a bigger story to it, like Thorn, since it was my favorite gun I have gotten my hands on after 2 months of grinding the game non stop since day 1.
wow, the ending of that gave me chills! Great video
+boysama321 thanks bro!
Myelin Games can you include jaren ward and his alter ego that'll make it awesome
The Red spectre's description is something about being a red death prototype... I had one but forgot the description. I think it's interesting because it has the same look. I'm not going to try and make a new lore about it but letting anyone who reads this knows that.
just love it when he says "smart matta"

Maybe madness is a result of prolonged corruption?

Mabey by infusing euros into the red death

Making them deadlier, most recognizable, and impressed by it's power encourages more Guardians to forge weapons like these, and destroy the Darkness.
Or eachother.
There is also a red death prototype called red spectre (I'm sure know of it) and it's an auto, just like Sufis regime.
So in summary (correct me if I'm wrong)
The "Red Death" frame is the "Marshall-A0" with modified optics, magazine, bayonet, heat shield, and other meshes.
The healing factor is most likely smart technology that was stolen/scavenged from a rare suros regime auto rifle. Whether the suros rifle had a owner at the time is unknown.

Love this. Any chance on an update including the Red Spectre and how it ties in??
you got a new sub, fairly new player here and youre amazing to help out with lore
I didn't know you could make a 15 minute videos about a signed gun...but mind blown sneaks
Anyways* Dafaq
I can hear someone talk in the background at 12:20.
Great video.
That ending was creepy. Nice job!
Could you imagine if Destiny had this level of depth, attention to detail, and lore in game.
+DevilDolphin I try to imagine every time I play lol. Maybe the TTK will redeem itself
I wonder if FWC's device is Yzoz's Pendulum, considering the flavor text of the Artifact is in FWC's typical format and it says that the first tests of the device known as Yzoz's Pendulum didn't go well. I also think the Red Spectre might have been made by FWC to see if they could remake a Red Death from descriptions said of Red Death, which would explain the Auto Rifle archetype of the Spectre rather than it beign a Pulse Rifle. It would also lack the health restoration due to the lack of smart matter.
I really enjoy your destiny Lore videos :) keep them coming for as long as you can
Auditore Falcon thanks dude. Much appreciated. That is the plan :) The Taken King will definitely add some more content!
That ending tho 🔥👍🏼
The only sane class is the Titan lol
Kabr could have gone mad
Hunters are probably too drunk off their ass to help
+venom gaming BULLSHIT! have you ever been in a crucible match with a sunbreaker titan?
+venom gaming Hell yeah man. Titan
osiris is a titan that went mad coz of the vex so your wrong all classes have gone mad
Do A Lore On The Archatects!
you serious? you can't be serious.
Sam Tipton I guess what you are saying is, "Is there something more to the Architects? Is bungie hinting at something?" If you believe Dr. Shims multiple realities, then the Architects are the Vex!
Or it simply means wall or structure....
moldyicecream haha yes. Imagine that lore video. whole 5 secs. "The Architects are .... walls that you die on. The End. Like, comment and subscribe". lol
Lol perfect 10/10 would subscribe 4 more lol
I have always loved red death my first ever exotic earned in the depth of the gorgon lanbrenth was my weapon of choice till house of wolves
Actually, I believe that the red death is a suros marshal a1 model that was modded with regime parts, This would make sense with the time line because during the beginning of the city age, there would have been more lower level guardians, making the parts from low-level white weapons, such as the marshal more available, and say if when he was banished, he had a regime in his possession, he could have used those parts to give the gun its perks. Other evidence would be the undeniable similarities of the aesthetics in the Marshal a1 and the Red Death, until you ge to the muzzle, and exluding the studs on the red death, the only difference is a place to put a strap on the weapon and the paint job.
also how one of its perks can be life support which is generally the same thing as red death
Upon further speculation about the "machine" future war cult presented us with, I believe the guardians were indeed seeing the future. But I believe what they were so truly terrified to see was the WE, the guardians, turn out to be the darkness. This whol game has pointed to this idea. I believe this was intended to be revealed at some point in the timeline of the original game, but was decided upon to postpone this reveal until later in the franchise.
I find the lore behind red death interesting think about lysander trying to take out the speaker, lysander was part of conquerdat which was replaced by future war cult and was banished from the tower was he not a hunter
your narration is amazing!
cayde-6 can attack, defend and lead espionage missions (but not always coordinated)
This literally just blew my mind
a bit late to add anything but the red death looks strikingly like the red spectre and shares the red in the name.
+Star Reaper you are correct! this video is wrong now, bit outdated. the Red Spectre is modified to make Red Death
I'm scared to use my red death now haha
Could the red death possibly be the shadow price left behind by toland? They are awfully similar in terms of aesthetics and it could have been modded into the pulse rifle that we all know and love. Just a thought.
im pretty sure toland created this weapon because he was interested in hive rituals so tried to replicate it providing an old pulse rifle. The blood on the rifle is his on provided for the ritual.He need power for it so he went on a killing spree killing guardians fueling red death. To afraid to dismantle it he got rid of it. (found this on reddit)
The Red Death:
"With these upgrades, you never stood a chance..."
I think the red death was a crude attempt by the mad guardian to enhance the weapon by adding more smart matter, where the suros smart matter only partially took guardians light so as to not be fatal, the red death was over done by smart matter so as it fatally drained guardians health.
Suros? Makes sense really, I always thought it was monte carlo because they look alot alike but suros makes alot more sense. Great video man.
octoglobe oh snap, I forgot about Monte Carlo!! hmmm, is there connection, are they the only two guns with knife attached. Good call bro
plus what if the mad man's first kill (being the Guardian on patrol) was a hunter and had his knife stolen and attached to the red death
thats some scary shit right there
it was my first exotic and i thought it was very cool and stuff but now everytime i see it.....
the poor guardians
deep, you r my favorite lore video guy keep up the good work
Matt E thanks Matt! good name
+Myelin Games thx for replying
While watching this i was also starting a new titan, and discovered that the weapon "Marshal-a1" has the exact same body 👍
Really good video. I thoroughly enjoyed it :)
+BesuliikOrdo thanks dude
On the Vanguard's founding, its probable that the Guardians, the Titans, that help defend the wall during its construction united and formed the Vanguard. And for their great contribution, were awarded a seat in the Consensus. Speculation of course, but one can see that happening.
I always thought the Red Death was fashioned by simple bandits using whatever they could scavenged of Golden Age tech but a Mad Guardian - a Mad Hunter. That is scary. Scarier thought is how many of these weapons were fashioned and still exist. Also, with a reputation like that, how long before it turns into one of the Weapons of Sorrow? That would be extremely terrifying.
SwiftGundam nice bro! yeah I agree, especially since commander Zavala appears to hold the seat and he is a Titan. The HoW cards has some interesting info on the first Iron Lords and how they also assisted in building the wall. Glad you enjoyed the Mad Hunter speculation :)
Could you later do a lore video later (after TTK) on what happened in the Dead Zones of Europe? I mean there will be widows court then the new DLC map. I hope there will be enough lore for that video :3 Also Id like to see Hunter lore, or all of the classes lore. Like how you said Hunters were experts of surviving out of the city.
could come back to this topic with the red spectre prototype
Possibly related to Marshall A0 bc they look so similar even closer than the suros regime
this lore makes me wish we could find that Guardian or any of the rogue Guardians roaming the wilderness with their exotic as rewards
Henry Coker haha, yeah that would be sick. "Bounty: Track the rogue guardian beyond the wall. He will be the one with the blood stained gun." That would be awesome, and just for irony, you kill him with SUROS
Smart matter is glimmer... It's currency because it can become anything else. Smart rounds, etc, refer to it being controlled by a computer, like modern smart rockets. The glimmer grimoire states that much.
The faction wars were not guardians fighting each other it was humans in the city fighting each other
quick thought: could smart matter be one of the yet undiscovered forms of Siva?
Wow great job... Love these videos can't wait to see what you can do with TTK
Travis Tabor dude.... I am excited and nervous about TTK! It is going to be really cool writing videos about lore people have not seen yet and coming up with new theories!! at the same time... tad of pressure not to ballz it up
This sounds like a creepypasta type story. haha. Very nicely done.
