Hope for the Future woke up the feels in me. I got into Destiny a couple years back, just before WQ. One of the places in the Tangled Shore I loved was the Eliksni night club where there was a DJ setup and that song was playing. I'm always gonna miss Forsaken.
I think it was either Cayde or Ikora who told me that The Witness used to have a head full of hair, until it bought something from Xur that made it start smoking.
Just a heads up, the room of the opening cutscene where the Witness briefly finalizes Earth isn't the jumping puzzle up to the final encounter. It is actually the final room of the Repository encounter, only the room has changed dramatically as a result of the Witness' meddling. It is assumed in the cutscene that this is as close as we come to the "true" pale heart of the Traveller, given the Witness is finalizing from this location. This further makes sense as the path from here to the next encounter goes downward into the Verity encounter, the room of which displays some of the most pristine, untouched and Traveller-esque architecture in the entire raid, hinting that this is indeed very close to the Traveller's core.
Oh the verity room was definitely meddled with by the witness. If you look at the corners of the screen when your inside the room for verity you can see darkness roots spreading through it, and when the witness kills you, you can actually see the corrupted version of the room infected with darkness. So its either the witness was trying to trick us into believing that it already infected the traveler completely or that was actually the case - there wasn’t that much time left before the witness could fully infect the traveler.
Great observations again. I have not seen any reference to the Pale heart's "Guardians and their weapons stance, made out of flowers" and if they have any significance?, for instance upon entering the landing jump across to the roof of trellised building left-hand side, straight after it you see decking, stand about ten feet away, and you can make out a guardian holding a rifle made out of plants? through-out the landing there are quite a few, i have not counted them all, some are easier to spot than others?
The Marathon logos from Witch Queen and before I think are mostly references to the old Marathon games, not just hinting at the new one. Sure now it’s probably a hint for the reboot, but I think up to a certain point it was mostly just a reference to Bungie’s past games, and not subliminal advertising.
More like the Devil. A being of light that falls from grace after beliving it could do a better job that their god and that uses deception, cohersion and that manipulates emotions and memories to convince others that life is miserable. Bonus points for being serpentine, and also resembling a tower (of Babel) wich makes sense considering the Witness purpose.
After you pointed out that the witness has a snake-like torso and how the pre-raid map showed the encroaching darkness, it seemed the coiled darkness was likely that of the witness. Thanks for the video, I haven't experienced that raid, but I missed many of these.
Hello I'm slightly an expert when it comes to The Witness's body in the raid. I strongly believe that the tendrils on the banister you see in encounter 2 are what becomes The Witness's upper body at the end of the raid. You can see in encounter 3 room 2 where an off-shooting branch begins to develop into The Witness's snake body (for anyone that wants to fact check this I've uploaded a video that shows the room where it happens).
One thing: the idle moths have existed since WQ and have worked with a smaller hitbox even then. They are most prominent in GotD, where they respawn every time
As a quick FYI, Atlas holds up the sky (also called the firmament or the heavens) rather than the world. People often think he holds up the world because of the common portrayal of Atlas as bearing the Earth upon his shoulders.
so inside the witch queen enclave area where you craft your weapons...there's a manifestation of witness manifestation with a dead darkness bound ghost at the center, is this part of a quest or...what?
Wow. So bungie not only made a game with mechanics so difficult that half the players don't know WTF they're doing, but even the developers themselves don't understand it? Great! Got it!!
The Witness didn't "achieve" the final shape in the opening cutscene, it was projecting the future to every being, showing them what is coming. Mara even says the final shape is near, not that its luckily been reversed or otherwise.
It literally did happen. The only reason it didn’t was because the Traveler resisted and reversed the Final Shape. “The Final Shape is near” means that the Traveler is not able to fight much longer.
No, it did happen. The traveler stopped it. The big pulse in the cutscene is literally the traveler stopping it, it's why the witness says "you're still resisting" it's not a vision, mara looking at her hand is because it literally happened to her as well.
@@rpj2282 No. Why would it have actually occurred? In the instance of the final shape being enacted, the Traveler should be unable to resist any further, its power completely usurped. It makes no sense that it could possibly reverse it.
The Traveler looks like a moon, and its spirit animal is a hawk. Hawkmoon the weapon was given to Crow by the Traveler. The Traveler is a Hawk Moon
Hawk Tuah

love the details that add along with the raid, you can also see the status on your character's UI.
I used Ticcu's Divination for the moth cave and the arrows automatically target them.
This is golden information thank you... Those hours of suffering
Nice. Good idea. ❤
you're a genius
@@lukepauls8847 Nah I just so happened to be leveling up the catalyst at that time because I despise having to 'farm' at spots like Grasp of Avarice
I'm just glad I don't need to run the Moth Cave anymore...

That cutscene with the astronaut using the elements during the eclipse is so sick one of my favorites in the series
Bungie absolutely explained the Exotic Engram changes in a blog post leading up to the release of the final shape.
You make the best videos. Love your work.

The Witness looks like Bungie's depiction of the *Demiurge* 😳
Ayooooooooooooooo you aren't lying.

Doesn't hope for the future also play in the tangled shore's cantina? (Edit, just checked and yeah, it was in the Empty Tank lost sector)

That "ancient city" room is more of a reference to Pathways Into Darkness. Bungie's precursor to Destiny in a sense.
Every Bungie game is secretly Pathways but with more context lol
Pompeii was not buried in lava, it was vaporized by a pyroclastic flow
If crow got to use Saladin's axe then SO SHOULD WE. WE ARE IRON LORDS FOR FUCKS SAKE, STOP "FORGETTING" ABOUT RISE OF IRON BUNGIE.
Maybe we could but Only if you’ve guilded your iron lord seal ❤
Rise of iron is trash tbh
never noticed the animals carved into the mountains lol so cool!
One thing: the idle moths have existed since WQ and have worked with a smaller hitbox even then. They are most prominent in GotD, where they respawn every time
Thanks for the video. I certainly learned a few things.
Glad to hear it!
Great Video! Thanks
Unknown Player vids heal my brain fr
Cayde blasted me in the back of the head. It says Cayde 6 killed you with a hand cannon. I have a short that shows this. Lol
Crow's Yeehee ah Haircut 😂
As a quick FYI, Atlas holds up the sky (also called the firmament or the heavens) rather than the world. People often think he holds up the world because of the common portrayal of Atlas as bearing the Earth upon his shoulders.
If I remember correctly, one of the iterations of the story is that Uranus and Gaia still love eachother so Atlas has to keep them from eachother.
the lava wall thing reminded me of the Incredibles scene
It’s a mix with the Tower of Babel
hey wow wow wow wow wow
how did you do that?
The Witness kinda reminds me of Jormungandr from Norse myth
Did you say tablet with Latin text? Could that be the Euphony tablet?
Were you playing crucible yesterday? I think we played some matches together!
so inside the witch queen enclave area where you craft your weapons...there's a manifestation of witness manifestation with a dead darkness bound ghost at the center, is this part of a quest or...what?
Can you linke the sources for these concept arts? especially the corrupted traveler bird is amazing and id love to have it without watermarks
The animal for the titan class isn't a lion, it's a chimera
Got it as a tattoo in 2019 and my tattoo artists corrected me on that
Oh no... it's definitely a lion. A Chimera typically has features of a Snake, Goat and Lion.
I hope your tattoo still looks like a lion.
I guess its fair to say the Witness merged itself with its monolith after we fight it in the final campaign mission?
Ok I might be tripping but... At the end, was the witness using hakari domain expansion?!
bugging
You said regardless of how much we play we will learn something.. I suppose you didn’t say, “as much as you study pointless stuff in game..”
Atlas didn't hold up the earth. he was tricked into holding up the SKY by Herecles.. hence the Atlas mountains
W gamer right here
Hey unknown how come you don’t upload that much anymore miss the vids mate
what if crow could turn it into a charge melee move
Woah what happen to your intro?!?
Yuh
where is messyourself
Looks like the rent is due 🤦♂️
Looking for a new clan if anyone is recruiting ,
Wow. So bungie not only made a game with mechanics so difficult that half the players don't know WTF they're doing, but even the developers themselves don't understand it? Great! Got it!!
I'm pretty sure the raid devs knew exactly what they were doing, i believe it was a handful of devs that were a bit confused when they were making it.
People only overcomplicate it.

Yeah I'll believe shadow destiny before you, u fkn nobody
Watch the video you melon
No, it did happen. The traveler stopped it. The big pulse in the cutscene is literally the traveler stopping it, it's why the witness says "you're still resisting" it's not a vision, mara looking at her hand is because it literally happened to her as well.
