Saladin is never going to find peace if he keeps giving me Cloaks from Iron Engrams.
I will become a nightmare just to torment him.
I grinded all of iron banner for a multimach ccx god roll and only got two useless rolls and literally everything else. Big rip
That's where all my damn cloaks keep going.
he's mixing up you two's orders.
Lucky. I just get hip-fire snipers.
*_If you ever feel bad, remember, Saladin has been depressed for 300 years._*
how can you be sad for 300 years like bro go be happy
@@CC-tl3zs just be happy LOLE
Wouldn't it be over 400, since the Ghost said it was over 400 years ago that the Iron Temple was closed?

Thank you for opening up a little Byf. As a fellow introvert struggling with depression and kind of restless void inside from time to time, I can appreciate it and relate. Stories in Destiny may be these epic overarching cosmic tales full of war and magic, but there is sort of personal sentiment to be found. I am really glad Bungie thought about characters as a people, not just overpowered war machines.
I concur. I appreciate Byf for weeding out these personal moments within the lore and giving them real-life significance. I hope things look up for you!
Oddly enough listening to this was soothing in a way that i can't begin to describe; some say "games are bad" but so is smoking/drugs/alchohol etc... The one thing that games do aside from the visual appearance and the "space magic" they employ to make it enjoyable/explain the parallel unvierse it exists in "tech wise"; is the story telling(regardless of the story itself and it's execution) and how the story plots and it's related characters share common threads with everyone in some way/shape/form for the lives we live. Thanks byf for this somewhat touching insight.
@@MrCreamster20 Fortunatelly that archaic way of thinking with "games are bad" and "games make people and kids violent" was demolished so hard, almost nobody dares to say that out loud anymore. Overall games have been accepted as an art even by non-gamers, and more and more poeple are coming to some form of playing games. It´s a two edged sword as it´s also a cause of increasing greed on publishers side, but I still consider it a win. Some years ago I remember my blood almost boiling when watching some old grumpy guy in TV blabbering about how because of PC games, very violent events happened. What a nonsense.
Games are one of the highest form of art. It combines several already well established forms of art and it adds more.
"'I'm fine.' Such a fragile lie." that felt helpfully profound
Maybe something I shouldn't say on the internet infront of a bunch of random people but what the hell:
That is a phrase I have sead a lot these last couple years. At the end of 2019 I started falling and loosing strength, and fast forward two year and a two lost jobs due to my health i finally looked at my wife and friends for the first time and said I wasn't fine, and infact far from it. It feels right in the moment to keep telling yourself you are ok and you will bounce back on your own, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with actually admitting you are not ok and need help. Facing the issue head on has been very difficult and scary, but at least because I told the truth without expecting others to just see through it i have my amazing wife to be right next to me through it.
@@dmandragon217 I don't know your specific situation, but kudos for you for finding the courage to be honest with yourself about it. So many people, men especially, feel like they would be ostracised or seen as lesser than for doing so. True friends would make sure this doesn't happen.
@@nickmurphy2936 i appreciate you saying that. In my situation it is very true, I worked construction for years and was suddenly confronted with the inability to do simple things that were expected of me. I do and did struggle with feeling like half a man, though less now. And I hope that maybe someone sees this and maybe it helps them take a different look at those feelings.
Anyone else find it fitting that Zavala’s ghost is named after a type of shield?
It'd be better if his ghost's name was Valus Ta'aurc
Still better then pulled pork
@@thomasloyal4525 pulled pork is better than Glint.
@@LulutheJester osiris ghost had one of the best name in destiny lore.
@@dethmaidin What about the Guardian's Ghost who is literally named 'Ghost'? :P
That eternal blazon lore mixed with the destiny 1 music in the background was just sublime. Somethin in my eye I reckon..;)
Not to break that but this is actually Journey from Destiny 2
@@huguesdekker6883that’s at the start of the video, d1 music plays during the lore tabs as he said
good stuff sir
eternal blazon lore tab goes hard
Don't forget the part where he has the music from Homecoming play as he talks about the heavy shit IRL... It fit well indeed cos of the context of that mission
I doubt you'll see this byf. My name is David and I just have to say thank you, my struggle with depression and anxiety has been long, and tiresome. But through it all, it was made easier by games, destiny especially, and one of the things that made it all better was listening to the stories and how human all the characters felt and sometimes how relatable they can be. I thank you for this video, and all of the others. You continue to inspire, Per audacia ad Astra.
Don't give up, skeleton!
Games help my depression a lot, because it's so much easier to make friends. That's how I got my girlfriend, and we have been together for 6 years. Met her when I was 11...I'm so thankful for her and I'm thankful for destiny, as well as the passionate people who play it. Destiny truly is my second life
@@anosvoldigoad3021 I appreciate to hear the stories of another person with the same problems. Keep your head up man. I hope you and girlfriend both live very happy lives together
Hearing the old music when you read the Multimach CCX lore tab made me feel emotions I never knew were possible.
No one asked
Honestly same. Memories and experiences come flooding back.

Thank you man,sometimes a homie just needs a friendly reminder , I hope byf,his friends, and everyone here is doin good in this painful time, good luck guardians and stay safe (very good video.lore and message, great job as always) EDIT: (you should upload your videos as a podcast,lil extra dosh and just be nice to have that on any time)
This season has made me feel alot more for both Zavala and Saladin, and the many stresses they're going through. Hope to see more interesting moments like this for both.
Byf I've been watching you since destiny first came out i was 10 btw 17 now :) but you got me interested in the lore and just reading in general so you've at least made one difference, in conclusion many people appreciate you and destiny wouldn't be the same without you
How were you 7 but now 17? Destiny came out less than 7 years ago.
@@SpaceMan-1998 math mistake I'll change it
Thank you for your dedication Guardian, the vanguard, the City and the traveler are grateful for your decorated service. Your light may feel dim sometimes but remember, you are a guardian and a guardian is never alone.
@@GoneRiding600 thank you commander
Man hearing lore like this makes me wish we could do more than just shoot “ bad guys “ and build things in the city just to help Zavala cause DANG IT he needs it
Agreed! I mean also other things that he's gotta do.
A Hunter Guardian might lighten the lift.
Byf *Talking about life lessons*
Journey *Playing epicly*
As a looter "shooter", it wouldn't be a reasonable thing but It would be nice to have a season of reprieve where we didn't have a crisis on our hands every few months.
eh, if leviathan ever returns it could count, since all the shooting is nothing more than a big game show inside.
I would love a season where we can go down into the last city and just directly contribute materials of our own to help them rebuild. Not just as seasonal content, but something grander, maybe a full new hub. I got a bit excited for a moment when we saw the Traveler reawaken at the end of arrivals, only to end up back at the same old scuffed up tower again when we got back...
It'd be both a reason to fight stuff but also a perfectly valid excuse to give us somewhere more cozy to just take a moment to connect with what we're fighting *for.* I've wanted to have a meaningful connection to more of the NPCs than just our ow bit-players for a long time, you know?
I feel that everybody needs to really pay attention and reflect on the first 4 minutes. As a introvert myself he hit the nail right on the head
Byf, you got me thinking. When I was young. still living at my parents, in house in an area somewhere that's between countryside and suburbs. I used to go on walks to forest or lake side at night time, like Zavala, or make a fire and just stare at the flames for hours. And just thought, now that I'm living in a city, I haven't done that in years.
Byf: talking about deep stuff
me: that heritage doesn't even have reconstruction
I log into destiny just to sit in the tower and orbit sometimes, I’ve heard the same music for years but it’s still just as therapeutic

55 years old here and I’ve played since day 1. You’ve taught me tons of things not just lore. I’ve also watched the entire history of Destiny once a week since it came out. Keep up the good teachings!
this may be my favorite video that you have ever made, as someone that also deals with a lot of what you mentioned, i just want to say thanks byf, for everything and specially for this video :)
Ah ikora you have decent lore but next to no importance in game
Next season she’ll be relevant again. Witch Queen too.
The famous risk runner UA-cam channel
Risk Runner, Sorry for keeping you in the vault for so long.
NOT FOR LONG!
@@SpaceMan-1998 I hope but seeing eris is a better ikora than the actual ikora (which is a big hot take) she might get side lines again like almost every dlc
where's my early 20s gang at watching byf?
Journey playing in the background, it’s just a splendid masterpiece.
In these times especially these lessons are the most important. I'd like you to know that even with lore videos you have helped me through difficult times with a means to escape reality even for a short time. This community really loves you and if you're going through something bad, remember we're always here for you even if our support isn't very tangible. A lot of love Byf
Thank you for this video. The timing is uncanny, I have to say, as I've just in the past week finally accepted help for a depression that I have been trying to ignore and deny for over a decade now. Everything you said was bang on too: I'm introverted by nature so an ideal weekend for me was to be at home, alone, playing videogames and watching UA-cam all day. My house is a mess and even my mind is cluttered to the point of barely being able to get a restful sleep or concentrate. But between the past 3 years especially, I've (finally) realised that I've been doing myself more harm than good.
I think the only thing I contribute to what you said is that feeling like this doesn't mean you're broken, or wrong, or weak. The only things it means are that you're human and you need some help.
And that's okay! Really! I knew how I felt for so long - if I'm being honest with myself now I knew I was depressed - but because I felt like that made me a bad person somehow I tried so hard to live past it, to cram it all in a corner of my mind and get on with things.
But now I know that saying your struggling simply means you're struggling and that it is *perfectly okay* without having to justify how you feel.
If you feel like this, ask for help. It doesn't have to be a doctor: even saying to a friend or family member, someone at your work, can be a vital first step in the right direction. And please know that you are not alone in this, that you can get through this and that you are loved.
One of my favorite videos of yours to date. It was absolutely well done.
Some of the best stories are one where you can relate to the characters. Whether you be the sarcastic over confident Cayde, The stressed Zavala, A depressed Saladin, A paranoid Drifter, Or a loner Elsie Bray. These are the stories that truly immerse you. These are the stories that stand the test of time and when you can truly learn something. Bungie is obviously doing a good job in telling these stories inside of their universe and it truly is amazing.
Reminded that it was great to see Elsie and Ana reunite in a cutscene of sorts rather than in some lore tab.
when the music ramps up when he starts to become a inspirational speaker i love it
Thank you, Byf. I think I needed this more than I realized. Thank you.
That part about checking in on your friends is really helpful. Thank you byf
You may be of the younger variety, but you're kind as hell, generous and put a tonne of effort into your videos, that's a wise person no matter the age
The greatest thing about those lore tabs is I could see each of their spaces, I could see Saladin and ikora at a table in a messy room, I could feel the garden, love the way bungee tells their stories
Thanks for touching on mental health this video. It’s important to remember that keeping up on what may seem mundane will help you feel better over all. It’s best to process what’s on your mind instead of attempting to repress it.
This was so fucking calming honestly. Between hearing from Byf and just the topic being so calming (the music helping a ton too) I just felt like everything was alright again, even if for a few minutes. Thank you.
That last musical chord at the end of the Eternal Blazon lore hit just right...I felt that one.
I've been watching you for years and I think I've commented a handful of times but that last message at the end truly resonates with me and thank you for all of your content and everything you've done for the community over the past couple years I don't have the friend group that I used to have while I play destiny and I'm primarily a solo player now but I still truly love the game and everything that it offers through the ups and the downs and truly thank you for being such a positive source and trying times.
Saladin: “When was the last time you had a vacation?”
Ikora: “Since the end of Shadowkeep”
Had a rough time the last few month, we have lost 3 family members in 2 months. Your words at the beginning and the first sentence of the multimach ccx lore tab really hit home. I mentioned my clan which i just joined two weeks ago that i would not be on for a few days, wasnt expecting much of a response as i just joined. But i got nothing but love and support from a group that i had known for just a few days. Just an awsome community to be in. So a shout out to my fellow guardians of my clan Ace of Caydes Exiles and this video which has perfect timing.
I have extreme respect for you, being able to open to strangers like this. While we do follow your channel and support you as best we can, we're still just every day people.
Thank you for this reminder, Byf. Take care of yourself.
I wish we could watch these more laid back scenes in a cutscene. Take a break from the so serious, urgent mattered scenes we usually get and just see two of our most beloved characters share a meal and conversation together.
You must be a mind reader Byf, I’ve really needed to hear the beginning part of this video. Your channel will always be a mainstay on my home screen
Loved the shoutout into the importance of mental health addressed here! Cheers!!!
Don't put yourself down your doing an incredible job helping us understand the great lore of Destiny.
Never too old to learn.
Never too young to teach.
I immediately raised my volume when I realized Journey was playing lol
This was the most wholesome lore video i've ever seen. Brought a tear to my eye. Keep up the good work Byf!
Finally, deepest lore
This made me think of my room and how I've been putting off cleaning it. Thank you for the reminder to take a second and focus on the important stuff.
words can’t describe how much I needed to hear this. thank you.
This was more of an emotional support, deep, sentimental video than a lore video.
I feel your words, i am in the same journey. This video has reached to me. Ty Byf, for the time and effort puting this into words.
I know this is half a year late, and I'm just seeing this video but I have binging all your videos over the last couple weeks. It really helps me calm down get distracted from the struggles of life. Thais video really hit and gave me alot alot of clarity, and the positivity was much needs when surrounded by so much negativity. Thank you again for all the work you put into this channel.
This video feels so wholesome, but so somber at the same time. Well done.
I really needed the perspective you offer in this video.
My grandfather passed away yesterday and while we've been with him until the last step in his journey, I did not really allow myself to cry or openly mourn yet because I knew staying 'strong' would make me a pillar for my father, uncle and grandmother to lean and rely on in their struggle. So far I internalized my mourning to which I'm only opening up very slowly with the help of my girlfriend. I still wait for the dams to break and the tears to actually flow. I held up the facade of 'strength' for those dear to me but I am also afraid of lowering it. I do not want to hold on to the pain, it is unhealthy and not what my grandfather would've wanted me to do. But I am also afraid of what lies beyond this next step but you helped me realize that it is not a step that I have to take on my own but along those that I love. Thank you.
You couldn't have picked a better time to post this video. I just overcame about a week of situational depression. I literally was in a mental fetal position. Every single thing that I ever deemed fun I shut down. Major red flag. For the longest time, I ignored the signs, I thought "nah it can't happen to me" but it did. I'm so happy for this video. And I'm happy for you Byf. Easily one of my favorite content creators. You're amazing bro. Eyes up guardian
It's nice to hear Zavala take time to feel peace after everything he's been through.
These are probably my favorite videos that you do. It’s always nice to have lore that ties back to real life
This was nice to listen too while at work.
I tried to take my own life in December of last year as things had gotten pretty bad for me in life.
It took a while to bounce back with the help of friends, and I’m still recovering now, but it’s stuff like this that really helps you out sometimes.
So thanks for this video.
god bless you for bringing these tidbits into the spotlight. art has the power to heal and bring people together, and we are blessed to have someone like you who sees that
I’m having a hard time right now. I smoked a little bit and listened to this video and it’s exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for taking the time to make this.
Byf, you are an absolute blessing on the community and i cannot stress enough how welcoming these wholesome, smaller lore titbits are. In a world full of toxic hunters, vain warlocks and stubborn titans, you remind me that the Destiny community is just a bunch of guardians relaxing together and trying to have a good time, regardless of background or life circumstances. You are just as much a part of the Destiny universe to me as the characters themselves. Much like the city gardens, i find myself coming to your videos to put down my DIM manager and checklist and just enjoy the world we get to play in. In the cesspit of clickbait and the salt mines of the bungie forums, your videos are the ones i look to the most. I cannot stress enough just how much these videos are welcome and i enjoy each and every one (yes even the possible twitter cannon that somehow occurred). Venite navigare simul astra.
Destiny's lore recently has been pulling on heart strings I never knew I had.
This is the video lots of us needed. With COVID draining all of us mentally and leaving us feeling more and more depressed than ever before it’s refreshing to hear how characters in a video game are going through the same struggles and are putting in work to be better and helps us realize that we too could be doing something but most importantly know that we are still beautiful and perfect the way we are with all of our mistakes and flaws. Thank you for this and all the amazing videos you do and not for talking about the lore of the game but for trying to teach us a new lesson everyday 💙
Age demographic is 24 to 49? I’m 36, hitting that sweet spot 😂
I'm freaking 16! I'm surprised I'm the exception.
31 here! Been playing Destiny since I was 24. Also, age is no guarantee of wisdom. It can come from both old and young. The question is, are you wise enough to listen?

Thanks for helping me as a introvert it helps alot to know that people are going through the same stuff.
Byf, I've watched almost every one of your videos and enjoyed them all thoroughly. There are so many lessons to learn from Destiny that can apply to real life. But I just want to say thank you especially for this one. It was especially applicable to the place I'm at in my life right now, and your perspective has really helped me realize some things I need to do to pull myself out of it. Thank you for all you do, but especially for this video ❤
This was a pleasant and equally unexpected surprise. Thank you for your taking the time to carefully curate this thoughtful message along with the usual standard of entertainment. It helped me and I'm sure it was helpful to many others.
Byf you beautiful bastard, your videos have made my days brighter on so many occasions and single-handedly convinced me to actually purchase and play Destiny 2 for myself, and they remain an integral part of my experience in the Destiny universe. Thanks for the absolutely great and heartfelt job you're doing here.
byf i love your videos and as someone struggling with depression for such a long time this video really spoke to me and i would like to thank you for touching on this
Thanks Byf. I needed to hear this. Take care of yourself too. As they say," Eyes up Guardian."
Honestly, a lovely reminder of priorities for myself. Thanks Byf
I’m 16 years old and byf, man, thank you for this. After lockdown and all I’m stressing a lot about my GCSE’s but these reminders in a lore video to chill out helped a lot, so thank you
I started playing destiny when it first launched with no friends to play with, so naturally after the campaign I felt lost. (Still a solo player) That's when I stumbled across the VOG entrance and got curious as to what it was for. Down the rabbit hole of lore I went with your videos and I fell in love with destiny. It gave me solice and joy in my darkest days to learn about this shattered but hopeful future. I just wanted to thank you byf for giving me a lens I never would have found on my own. I wish you all the best.
Byf you are on a roll this week with these lore videos.Much love and appreciation dude
I'm not sure if it was intended but when the music went quiet as the Cicadas did it really hit me
Therapy session with byf isn't something I thought I'd like as much as I did
Thank you byf. This video was really...nice. That's not the word I want to use but it's word I have so here you go. I enjoy the fact that you are committed to the fact to not only tell people about a funny space game but to help teach real world lessons. I was on the verge of tears during this video because of the message that it's good to have friends and that they are a major pushing force in life and should be kept close and charished. Thank you for sharing some of your personal story. Contine the amazing work. Thank you.
I loved this video. Maybe one of your best for me personally. I'm glad someone appreciated those two lore tabs as much as I did
thank you, byf
I have been dealing with anxiety, depression and loneliness for a very long time (still am, in fact), mainly because of complications with my family, the lack of friends irl, severe sociophobia caused by both family issues and past girlfriends betraying my trust
so to hear those stories and understand that it's ok to feel this way and that one day things will be better, brings me alot of joy and hope
I hope not just you but everyone that's reading this are doing ok
again, thank you, byf.
I really resonated with the lore picks of this video. I have been dealing with a lot, as well as someone I really care has about been dealing with stuff. I appreciate the words and love the lesson that it will be all okay eventually.
Thank you, I needed this. I'm in a really dark place, and I've been hurting for so long I almost forgot how to go on. It feels like I'm buried alive under the crushing weight of my failures. But it's okay to feel like this, and I know it wont be forever.
The application of the 5th rule is something I didn't know I needed until now.
Good job man; I think a lot of us will agree when we say that the occasional sentimentality is extremely appreciated.
Per audacia ad astra king
Byf I don’t play destiny, but ur rules are literally the reason why I won’t ever stop supporting your content! :)
I too have been guilty of 'fighting'. Fighting everyday to get work done, to feel productive etc. I like that how you saw the point woven underneath this video that we need to come up for air once awhile and not feel bad about doing so.
This entry was better than most, Loremaster Byf. As a fellow introvert, your words hit a little closer to home than I would like to admit. But as you said, a reminder is sometimes just what we need to keep going. I hope YOU keep up the good work.
Easily one of the best videos you've ever put out Byf. Well done!
This video was great, the lessons that we can learn from games, books, and media are surprisingly useful.
And thank you Byf for making this positive media more accessible to people who need to hear it.
My room has been a disaster for many days now. I lost my sister when I was 14, still haven't gotten better with it a full 5 years later. I just lost my dog, my best friend, yesterday to old age, and it's like re-opening an all too familiar wound. I hurt so often now, to the point I hardly know what it's like without that familiar pain. Thank you for this reminder, I really did need it.
Thank you Byf, I've been going through a rougher patch than usual and this really opened my eyes. I've been neglecting to remind my friends I care about them, so I'm gonna go do that now
I don't usually comment but I do watch all your videos. Your touch of empathy made this one of my fav vids you've done.
Just finished a 9 hour divinity run, now it is time to relax. Thank you byf
Thank you for reminding me to keep in mind where I’m headed next, its so easy to forget that when the struggle has been going for years. The temptation to give up right near the end is so hard to get through sometimes that I honestly lose sight of my goals.
Great video. Shared it with my younger brother. He is definitely finding himself in a place where I worry for him.
Your job has become a great relief in my life byf!! It's because of you I'm always thinking about the story of destiny and comming up with theory's, it helps me with my world building with my book I'm working on. You inspired the shit out of me to get Into and dive deep in destiny's lore
Hey Byf thank you for this one, especially with where the world is right now the simple messages these story and your own experiences tell are needed right now
I greatly appreciate byf wanting to try and teach and help us
Ah Saladin! the stern, firm uncle who holds everything together but in private is barely holding on himself. Great video and as a fellow introvert it was good to hear from another!
Love ya byf you videos got me through my worse moments a few months back because my mom passed in November with being the youngest and no support structure. I really lost in my own darkness one might say.
