      I don't see why he would have, the Crucible has proven Light is a magnificent way to fight Light, the same probably applies to the Darkness, and considering so far the pyramid and apparently the creatures Drifter encountered were able to supress Light, it may end up being our only option.
      So dark powers it's the logical direction and the next step in our evolution as Guardians, not being of Light or Dark, but something more gray.

We've been dealing with cabal, vex, fallen and whatnot but Shin has been on a solo mission dispatching dark guardians by himself, which I think is way more powerful than enemies we've fought so far because they're directly tied to darkness. In malfeasance quest drifter also said in order to defeat Shin he's gonna need a crew of multiple guardians (including us in it) equipped with malfeasance to gang up and teamshot him, implying we stand no chance 1v1 against him.

      We cleansed the original thorn, we have killed Oryx the taken king, we killed Xol the worm god, we have beaten the Sol Divisev in their Garden of Salvation who worship darkness, when the devils splicers used SIVA we destroyed them nearly utterly, we avenged Cayde 6 and killed all but the so far unkillable of the Scorn Barons, as Riven of One Thousand voices was taken we beat her too, we bear the title of God Slayer with truth and even Shin Malphur admits that we are his better, we don't just kill grunts, we've slain Gods of Dakness, and Shin would be a pice of cake compared to our other victories and you say that dark guardians are more powerful than any enemies we've fought so far? Dark Guardians would've whimpered as our light cleansed the original thorn or slayed oryx we have bested gods, again, Shin is weak and frail compared to our light.

    ------ Spinfoil theory ------
    The horrifying thing about the Kentarch-3 is that in the Garden of Salvation raid, there are three major figures. A Minotaur, being consumed by the Consecrated mind, the Consecrated mind, and the Sanctified mind. I believe these three represent the Kentarch-3, the Minotaur being Lisbon-13. He completely rejected the dark power, so he has no power over the Consecrated mind, likely being Rakana. She acknowledged that it was powerful and needed to be used, but was still defeated easily. And the Sanctified mind being Yardarm-4. He accepted the power, letting it consume him, we put him at a balance with the motes of light and tainted light.

    • @michaelsha3857
      @michaelsha3857 4 роки тому +5

      Modil 1103, well actually Yadarm-4 did not embrace the darkness in equality with the light, and was not balanced. Also, the Consecrated mind is drawn to the pure voltaic energy relay, not the “tainted” dark motes. Everything can be interpreted symbolic features, but I think you over-thought it.

    • @pracitus

Is too messy, and it really doesn't make much sense either for our Guardian to kind of give up on the City and humanity after 5+ years lol. So we're definetly going to get our Dark powers but it will be like Shin said, we will control them with our light in order to fight dark with dark and protect humanity.

    @Byf I’ve been ruminating on a couple different thoughts. Both revolving around SIVA. Since we’ve had clear indications that it will return with the ornaments on sale and the Season pasa tan having SIVA coming off the bottom of the banner that displays our season rank.
    1) That SIVA will be used to the stop the Almighty threat.
    2) What if Rasputin uses SIVA to generate an anthropomorphic body of himself - kind Ultron-esque - and becomes a vendor and more of an ally that fights literally along side us against the darkness. He makes constructs and used Exos in the past. What if he manifests in a “body” of his own design, with SIVA as yet another weapon to yield against the Darkness?

      I saw someone come up with a similar theory to 2 but said body for Rasputin being Felwinter's exo body.
      The idea being Felwinter had a special body built with key features for Rasputin and that we'll recover the body so Rasputin can implant part of himself into it, then he'll take our Season 10 ornament(the fancy sword) which will be revealed to be one of his super weapons.

    *I had an idea long ago since i think Vanilla that would have been interesting.* *Imagine becoming infused with the Darkness granting you new powers and abilities classes midway through a future expansion story while facing the Darkness on their own rules.*
    *However doing so would have severe consequences, the gifts from the traveler and him viewing you as a guardian is no longer apparent and your ghost is sacrificed.* *You are a Dark guardian, you protect humanity all the same but its by your own morals and will.* *You follow the vanguard, the tower etc but at any time you can simply go rogue if you so deemed but that's within the confines of your morality.. Basically the game will challenge you as to what type of guardian you are and it'll have implementations on the story and how you approach it.* *Are you a Rogue, Follower or lone wolf.* *Each decision will have different cutscenes, missions, dialogue and encounters based on the decision you choose.* *Same foes just different confrontations.*
    *Choosing to be a dark guardian in game will be permanent for that specific character, so to infuse is to sacrifice, to sacrifice is to bestow, to bestow is to be reborn in darkness.* *New gifts that you can use to reap enemies or bend to your will.* *All this will be possible due to a Darkness ally.*
    *And Destiny 3 could be about some dark guardians going rogue and mad with power due to tampering with the darkness, some becoming frighteningly powerful.* *And lastly.. the rumors of a hidden Dark Guardian leader behind the walls.* *My idea for this guardian is he's 7ft due to self maniplulation & augmentation making him a force presence to be reckoned with.* *He's versatile, strong, vicious, calculative, wields hybrid tech.* *His followers are self augmented as well but of hive and vex tech upgraded into weapons we never seen before.*
    *(new weapons to uncover) i would title them as scavenger, augmented & prime variants.* *Uncommon weapons would be just as unique as legendarys and can be upgraded through questing.*
    *The story could finally have us venture out beyond the walls within the fractured cities of the golden age, and the cities beneath the traveler to uncover the rumors of these guardians.* *The tone of the story should be mystery, adventure, dark and thrilling since this isnt ordinary power to be trilfed with.* *But to purge from this world and ending up in the wrong hands.*

    Both from a lore and meta game design perspective it's far more likely that our characters ability to use the darkness will just be another subclass icon in the upper left of the equipment screen along the three light based ones today.
    And just like how we can casually jump back and forth between the elements we will be able to casually jump back and forth between using that darkness based subclass and any of the three light based ones.

    Hey Byf, does this mean that we may get more videos covering the Kentarch 3? The story is interesting and I would wish know more about it. Also is the story behind Pit of Heresy complete?

    I feel like that whole Vanguard v Drifter quest line is finally going to properly wrap up with the coming of those dark ships, and the reason why light levels suddenly spiked so high, maybe it's to have enough light to keep the darkness under control?

    I’ve been fascinated by the Dredgens and the darkness since D1 and I really hope that Bungie is taking us in a direction that will have us choose what side to be on/what power to use. Maybe it’ll have something to do with the Allegiance Quest? All and all, exciting and interesting stuff.

    I haven’t touched destiny in a while
    and I haven’t even played any of the raids due to the sheer toxicity of raid teams, but I do love the lore of destiny.
