Week 6 of Season of the Seraph revealed Xivu Arath’s advantage over Guardians and the City, the more we fight back, the stronger she gets, and if Rasputin uses the Warsat network to take out the Hive, the destruction that results may give Xivu enough power to end us all. So today, I am going to give you the backstory of Xivu, how she became the hive god of war, how fighting back empowers her, with examples, like the invasion of the cabal home planet and Sagira, and finally what this means for us.

Hey bro... the short beard looks good...better than the mustache(although I totally respect the stash...you gotta be a certain caliber of man to pull it off, lol)
Just remember to shave the neck-beard off...the wife will appreciate it 👉😁👉
So that thing in that movie Nope was a Stormjoy!???? 😳
eneMEY😂???
I think overwhelming force might be the best option imo, oryx was able to beat her regularly with his strength. We need to beat her faster then she grows. Rasputin should be capable of that. Or maybe we beat her using the thing we know can definitely beat her and claim our place as the new taken king.(darkness subclass)
Raycon have dogshit sound quality. They're 10 dollar Walmart check out line quality.
The trick to beating Xivu isn't so complicated. We just need to dunk some orbs and stand on some plates that somehow nullify her gaining tribute. Simple.
or shoot her glowing Acolytes.
But then us waring against her would be giving tribute to her, my solution is break her ankles in oryx's court
After reading this we desperately need better boss mechanics Rhulk proved we can have better bosses to fight
Yeah. We need more mechanics where we can all collectively jump the boss like with rulk. I feel less like a cool powerful immortal warrior when I have to stand behind a rock and shoot at the same spot for 10 minutes
@@SuperRONDALE also he’s fights back during Dps phase he doesn’t sit in a spot and take damage
I don't always get to watch but it has to be said... We need to give some claps for that amazing thumbnail! LOVE IT!
Ikr? Its nice to see some art of her canon appearance instead of reusing the Warpriest in every Thumbnail about her...like, who would do that?
I believe the art is done by a new destiny youtuber called Azzlar (2000+ subscribers) The guy makes legendary quality destiny lore animatics, YOU SHOULD DEFINITLY GIVE THE GUY A SHOUTOUT!
@@jakespacepiratee3740 wow it's almost as if that's the design he's using for his dynasty project he made before Xivu's design came out so it's easier to use than make a whole new model.
I mean come on who cares let him use his design if he wants too it's not a huge deal.
@@riskrunner4532 Well we know what Xivu Arath actually looks like, so just use that! The Dynasty Model was just a copy of the Warpriest. Its really not that inspirational at all. and this isnt even Xivu Araths final form, she probably looks much cooler now!
@@jakespacepiratee3740 he has used that image twice and has stopped seeing its just her on a boring Grey background his dynasty ones actually have shit going on and are thumbnail worthy. Still who cares honestly his design isn't bad, it's better in a lot of ways than the official one, one better aspect is it having actual working armor and not being riddled with soft spots with exposed muscle tissue.
Also we have no evidence or idea that Xivu will change we don't know what bungies gonna do for all we know that's the permanent design.
Damn I remember Xivu was barely mentioned before and everything was revolved around Savathun. We thought Savathun was the greatest enemy, until we found out she might actually be our ally all along. Now its Xivu who is the greatest enemy. Wild!
Xivu is only the greatest enemy because we can't fight her in the normal way we usually do.
Know she was something serious when we were only fighting her champion trying to stop her from ending Savathun
Gonna Talk no Jutsu her. Or Savathun Trickery no jutsu.
Remember when Savathun cinically asked how will we kill her, shot her with a gun? Want to guess how we will kill Xivu? 😅
...and before all that it was Oryx. Watch, the final shape will be Fenchurch.
As a fan of the lore especially the book of sorrows i was beyond hyped to finally see savathun after all this time but the more xivu comes into it and we learn of her power i believe she is the strongest of the 3 hive gods.
Big fan love your work myelin and your epic moustache. Peace.
Strongest of the living hive gods maybe, she was third in line for the power to give n word passes.
As far as I know according to the books of sorrow Oryx had to poison her through her tribute at her highest power to beat her. Then he made sure that she never could gather enough power to overtake him again. Thats what caused her and Savathun to leave him to be able to grow without him keeping them in check.
It seems that Xivu Arath is the strongest sibling in a straight up fight. Unless bungie messes up fighting her will probably be like fighting either Oryx or Rhulk where we have to turn her abilities against her to be able to beat her.
Remember to beat Oryx we had to reclaim and use the stolen light of past dead civilisations against him. By detonating the fuel he was using to feed Akka/the dreadnought.
To defeat Rhulk we had to use the Upended resonance weapon against him. He was collecting light from us with it to be able to power up a blast that would destroy the throneworld keeping him trapped. We took his darkness power and feed it back into the upended against him to cause him to be weakened from the backlash so we could damage him.
Hopeing that there will be a similar lore and mechanic we have to use against Xivu. Maybe some wipe mechanic where if we kill to many encounter adds Xivu wipes us by eating our light like Osiris and we have to poison ourselves so that our kills instead weakens Xivu like Oryx tactic or something similar. Mix the to many adds dead wipe mechanic with a Xivu battlesong mechanic that forces us to kill adds or we also wipe to trap us between 2 mechanics so that we are forced to poison her for a damage phase before we wipe to one of them. And give her a rhulk style damage phase where she resists us and fights back.
I call it the “reverse hitler” stash. So if Hitler was ultimate evil, then Myelin is ultimate good. Lol
Nah, Oryx is the strongest. He was able to beat both Xivu and Savathun. Together and separately. He has evolved beyond the basic hive god status. Killing Akka and making the strongest worm god consider eating his lesser sibling Xol to gain his strength out of fear for his power. With only Rhulk, Lightborn Savathun and Lightfall Calus being a match for him. And the Witness being stronger.
Nope oryx is lore wise but game wise yes. Xivu is
Something that sticks out to me: Savathun manipulated Caiatl via Umun to perform the ritual required for Xivu's invasion of Torobatl. But chronologically, isn't this AFTER the schism in the hive circa Shadowkeep? This leads me to believe that perhaps this is a part of a scheme by Savathun playing out in her absence. When she died on Earth, it seemed Savathun's endgame plan was to beseech the Traveler for the light. Her choice of her moment of death seemed very deliberate. It would impress (but not surprise) me that Savathun has put Xivu's war machine into motion against Torobatl and by continuation Earth in order to put the coalition in a place where we require aid from the lucent hive and are forced to relinquish her body to her ghost for revival. I imagine this wasn't her plan A, but a contingency for if she failed the ritual she attempted in Witch Queen's campaign. Granted, this is all conjecture, but it certainly gives a greater depth to her foresight and cunning than her actions in Witch Queen would suggest.
Oddly enough, I'm hoping that we can beat the final Osmium sibling by waging a cold war, thus denying her tribute so that her worm overtakes her. It seems like a Chekov's Gun that hasn't been fired yet.
That cold war you suggested is too clever for destiny 2 I'm afraid. We'll definitely just fight her like savathun and oryx.
The gun may not have been fired but it's being primed
Maybe but there’s something tragic about a dear friend going batshit with no way for you to stop it but in this case just so happened to summon death incarnate to destroy your planet
Savathun was able to alter her worm bargain with semantics, by equating trickery with defeating or triumphing over an enemy and it works even though her tribute doesn't need to die.
I think we'll beat Xivu Arath with a similar semantic trick. She gains power from war, so maybe we'll define our violence as strictly self defense and that will be a sharp enough distinction to not count as war.
Rasputin's plan to blast the Hive to oblivion is pretty much self defense and Xivu's worm consider that as war.
Perhaps the only winning move is not play at all.
Then it'll just fall under "she must always test her strength" she'd just be testing her strength against us giving her power. She gains power from war and testing her strength.
A defensive war is still war.
@@riskrunner4532 after watching the video all the way Myelin reminded me self-sacrifice seems to be a hard counter to Xivu, and probably the entire concept of sword logic since it's about being the last one standing. self-sacrifice throws those game rules out the window entirely since you're not even trying to outlive your opponent, you want to stop them by any means necessary even if you don't live to see the result
@@xXx_Regulus_xXx how's that gonna work? What should we just kill ourselves to beat her? Doesn't sound like a good plan.
Seeing as Bungie hasn't done it yet, some talented people in the community should try and make the Osiris and Sagira vs Xivu fight into a cutscene style video. Such a devastating yet badass moment for Osiris and Sagira. Honestly shed a tear the first time I read through the whole thing
Cool, I was wondering how you would react to this weeks (6) lore. This is an interesting puzzle for creatures who’s first instinct is to shoot first, second and third then ask for more ammo
Since Season of the Chosen I’ve imagined a scenario in which we defeat Xivu Arath permanently. We fight her in the Ascendant Plane and once the boss battle is over she tells us to kill her but we refuse and walk away she tries to attack us but her worm then starts to eat her from the inside and she turns to ashes, our act breaks her view of the Sword Logic. We then go into first person perspective from her worm it looks at our Guardian and then our Guardian squashes it under their boot.
Savathûn status quo doesn't let her out of the picture yet. Maybe she'll play a part in defeating xivu
Holy shit that's an amazing idea 🤯
Finally an enemy to defeat with emotes! I feel like we've been preparing for this, this whole time!
The trick to stop a force that gets stronger by force is to literally stop them. The story will lead us into testing out ability that “stop” without killing, which seems to be the highlight of strand. Perhaps it will send them into some realm that prevent the tribute to flow back into Xivu.
That said, the narrative team is doing a great job conveying all the information in the lore to the average players.
Xivu also has the unique ability of Operontological Warfare.
From that famous lore of those 2 knights jumping off a bridge, Xivu's Knight states Xivu is a master of Operontological Warfare: "the method of war which converts mere strategy into an attack on the enemy’s very fundamental modes of being and knowing"
I hope when she shows up in game xivus va will capture the loud booming voice that she has in the lore
There could be another, if very risky, way to defeat Xivu, because the Hive's strength is also its weakness. The worms' hunger only increases the more they are fed, so perhaps one simply gluts the worm with war to such a degree all at once that future conflict cannot satisfy, and then Xivu will be consumed. Probably unlikely to work at the end of the day but if we're exploring all the options, one can never forget a classic way to defeat absorber type enemies is overloading them.
That may already be the case. Xivu just laid waste to the cabal home world. If we can stall her long enough we can starve her.
Xivu is like Buu from DBZ.
The more we fight the more energy we feed them. Unfortunately the entirety of our existence is nothing but fighting.
So it sounds like the traveler sacrificing itself the way sagira did will be our only option in the next expansion. this would definitely give context to the "Light Fall" title. Perhaps the The final shape is the merging of Light and Dark?...
That's what I think too!!
I don’t see the traveller actually dying unless we find a way to keep our light afterwards,
Imagine if we were to trick her to open the portal to her ascendant plane above Europa while simultaneously opening the glass way portal to the vex home world. 😮
Complete shot in the dark, but I could see us reviving Savathun either to help us against Xivu Arath using her cunning to trick Xiva Arath in some way
Ask Osiris if he feels like helping out. He seems to be Imposter for a second round I feel.
I've thought about this for the longest time well since we had the Books of Sorrow. I wondered if a combination of strategy from Savathûn and the Psions would work invading Xivus mind and destroying her from within.
I have said for months that Xivu must be big ! Oryx and Savathun are Nemesis level and Xivu will be too ! Man I can’t wait the reveal for the big bang !!!
I feel like one day our bond to riven (since aramkara transcend death) will play a part in something. We have no way of defeating the god of war unless maybe… just maybe, we wish it.
Still that elusive 15th
Fake
That actually sounds sick, would be an interesting point to bring back riven in a way
Deus ex "Mara you useless blue wench make yourself useful for once and pull out Rivens Heart from your basement" Machina.
Mara still has that egg, and Riven's cleansed heart, so......
Your videos have a chill vibe which keeps me coming back. Don't ever ditch that background music.
Every action a guardian has, aside from a healing grenade, healing rifts and hunter dodge is an instament of war as our other abilities are used for killing/can kill
I believe the boss fight will consist of guardians sacrificing themselves to prevent xivu from gaining too much power to wipe out the fire team. If sagira did a self sacrifice to save Osiris from the will of xivu couldn't guardians do the same during the final boss fight. Example lets say we're fighting hive as fighting increases xivu power a aura is gained by all fire team members called the will of xivu but before a wipe a guardian could self sacrifice to dispell the aura and a DPS phase can happen as xivu is weakened and the fire team can resurrect that guardian
Yeah but then you can't have triumphs for finishing the raid without dying, assuming we will face xivu in a raid to begin with. Doesn't work from a game perspective, but I like it a lot from a lore perspective
This writing is BRILLIANT! I absolutely love it!
At its core, Destiny really does have an incredible narrative, and that's why I stick around!
Makes sense that she would be our greatest 'Enemey'.
Looks like the title has been fixed. Peer pressure works.
I love how Bungie is building up Xivu Arath as dangerous as a villain as they did with Savathun, I'm really excited to face her.
To me it seems the intention of your fighting are part of that which powers Xivu, Osiris didn't fight to protect or fight in a way to put his life on the line to protect something, but to defeat and beat the enemy for his own selfish kind of reasons. His Ghost seemed to kind of hint towards it in the way it spoke to him, and that he would over time understand this.
Nice to see some art of Xivu Araths Canon appearance. In Dynasty, it made sense that Byf just reused the Warpriest Model as we didnt know any better, but even after the canon appearance of Xivu Arath is known, he keeps using the Warpriest in all of his thumbnails about Xivu Arath...that confused me. Im pretty certain the actual Xivu Arath wont look like a Warpriest clone, and the version we have seen of her isnt even her final form. I bet in her current state, her horns are massive and she looks like a Demon, or maybe even like Rhulk, still thin and elegant but powerful nonetheless.
She looks like a bunny to me 😂
shes probably huge as describe in that torobatl lore. Like an evangelion, huge but fast.
@@whiteevropean I expect her to be about Rhulks size and also act like him, graceful and holier than thou but unleashes fury in moments of desperation
Some characters in other games use induced sleep or laugh gases and "charms" that would be the only way to defeat an enemy like Xivu
So what you're saying is, you have to go into Xivu's place with love and kindness and she'll crumble
Kill them with kindness they say.
Literally every enemy thinks its impossible to beat them. The light and guardians are paracausal. We just reshape the universe and make it work for us. Its not that complicated
What I like about Xivu is that even knowing how her power works it only makes me want to fight her more. There are so many guardians that I feel desire an eternal fight vs a foe that grows in power as quickly as our power creep has grown for the past forever lol
We’ll bet Xivu without weapons. We’ll bet her the only other way we know how. Jumping puzzles!!! Lots and lots of jumping puzzles.
7:36 every story quest in Destiny ever.
The better question is how do you stop Xivu from ordering her forces to turn on them selves? A tithe that would drown out the very stars. The ultimate act of violence: Violence on the self.
Good video. I normally source lore off Byf but your explanation seems more well rounded and easier to recieve. You also included the lore equivalent of a case study by introdicing that card with Orisis featuring Sagira's sacrifice. Keep it up guardian!
Idea: Rasputín or Clovis are stricken down (both being ones who tried to become war themselves). One proclaims “you are war and I conjure you with war”
Diplomacy. We already have the lucent hive, you can basically pull Arath's forces apart by bringing the Lucent hive into the fold. A trickster god being responsible for diplomacy could easily get the other hive forces out from under Xivu. Eramis on are side could very easily deprive them of fallen wrath born. With Rasputin and very possibly the AI os Sundaresh if we can get her back online you could easily maneuver peace between the forces. From there it'd be just about making it as hard as possible for agitators to start things.
I feel like Rasputin might use music to solve the problem at hand. Imagine a system-wide broadcast of music instead of the destruction he could cause. If the hive god of war has no war and instead is presented with something calming such as music then it would probably be worse than if we just ended at a stalemate. She would lose which would then bring us to Lightfall where she must wage war on someone who will fight back.
Ooooooorrrrr
Rasputin devastates her armies in an act of war so grand that she grows very powerful, but her worm now wants more and she is unable to provide due to the scale of what the warsats did. She wouldn’t be able to feed her worm and she would die
The real question is: Will we be able to put Xivu Arath's worm in a gun?
I hope its a rocket launcher lmao, I bet it would be like a sharp aggressive female worm unlike savathun lmao
I don't think that we will ever fight Xivu arath, at least directly like in a raid. This would just give her more power. I think to beat her we must do what we have been doing, strengthening our alliances and choosing pacifism when it seems that we should choose war. (Perhaps efrideet will further aid in this within lightfall or year 6) This starves her worm of tribute eventually leading it to eat her whichh would be a pretty fitting way for her to go out. It shows the unsustainability of the sword logic and the darkness. Also we never have seen what it looks like when a hive worm kills their host.
This!
This is amazing!!!! I had never seen such thing before, such a fabulous oponnent.
The Eliksni defeated Skira the Watcher, not with words, weapons or bargains…but silence.
The key to beating Xivu is entropy. Don’t fight and kill her forces - look to stymie them instead. Freeze her progress and you kill her tribute.
Question: we removed savathunes worm right, though I get It was voluntary, Mara did remove it. So I propose a theory, a trap, fain combat with the hive and when xivu comes to try and take her “tribute” we have Mara, Eris, all the tecians and a host of vanguard warlocks work in concert to forcibly exorcise xivu’s worm forcing her into a state of vulnerability
This whole power boost thing sounds kinda tricky but have you guys tried punching them a bit harder?
Titan main ?
@@FarookKMOON I may be a warlock but idk man, they are onto something
Oryx: raid boss
Savathün: story boss
Xivu: seasonal activity ‘boss’
Hopefully this won’t happen 😅
With the light and darkness saga coming to a end i feel like some of our enemies are gonna have to live past the final shape expansion, I really don’t see us killing calus, the witness, xivu, possibly eramis, clovis, and possibly fikrul all in 2 expansions unless some of their deaths are in story missions, seasonal stories, or dungeons, I think we’ll kill calus in lightfall but the witness will still accomplish his goal
I hope I’m terrified when Xivu Arath finally does show up in game. I want her to be like a Dark Souls final boss, actually difficult to fight and downright scary to look at.
Something else to consider with Xivu’s ritual with the warsets was how clever and deceptive it was. (It may also have succeeded had it not been for Eido, Eris, and Mara uncovering the plot).
This is important because I think Xivu may have also wanted to do this ritual to perhaps resurrect her sister Savathûn.
Why resurrect her traitor sister? So she can personally deliver the Witch Queen a final and definitive death. A very heartfelt goodbye.
Too bad Savathun is already back and is a lightbearer. Xivu just doesn't wanna be alone.
"what happens when bullets dont work" I raise you. 'God-Slayer Warheads.'
Would love to see Xivu as a raid boss one day.
I think that day is coming soon due to February coming around the corner lol. It’s literally next month but I don’t think they’ll make xivu a raid boss, probably a mixture of missions like witch queen. Honestly idk what they’re gonna do but let’s hope it’s big.
Lol, this is Bungie, she'll be a piss baby easy campaign fight at best
I think overwhelming force might be the best option imo, oryx was able to beat her regularly with his strength. We need to beat her faster then she grows. Rasputin should be capable of that. Or maybe we beat her using the thing we know can definitely beat her and claim our place as the new taken king.(darkness)
Tbf Xivu beat Oryx so much that he had to become stronger and he did through defeating Akka
Rasputin and the warsats are a great weapon but definitely not on the level of a Hive god
many god think they can outsmart our guardian , maybe , but i have yet to meet a god who can outsmart a bullet .
I know what'll win the day... Error code: weasel, lets see her beat that /s
Yeah, that xivu quote is intense and badassical
for some reason, you are just so good to watch while high
Just thought of a insane mechanic: What if for Xivu's boss fight, whether it be in a raid or campaign, she can grab you like a tormentor but instead of just suppressing you, she starts to either sap your Ghost of its light or outright crushes it if your low enough health and then proceeds to just off you.
Yknow it’s just what an exo once said
“we’re Damned if we do, and Damned if we don’t“.
We beat Orix by using bomb logic against his sword logic basically simplicity is beaten with complexity we beat savathun using truth against her lies lies are defeated with truth how shall we beat xivu arath's war then. Peace won't work she will kill us before peace could happen but what if it is unity and self sacrifice as the saying goes "devotion inspires bravery, bravery inspires sacrifice, sacrifice leads to death."
What all is known about the Ecumene? The fact that the lore specifically refers to an "Ecumene Council" is really interesting to me just based on the fact that it's the Forerunners' native word for their empire (the leaders being the Ecumene Council) in Halo's lore. Yeah yeah, I know it's not canon at all with Destiny, but to think that at the height of their power, occupying over 3 million fertile worlds, that Oryx would need the combined power of killing both of his sisters AND Akka just to be strong enough to destroy them... Well the power balance seems like an interesting match up at least.
Ye bungie likes their halo references
And yes the Ecumene were the biggest threat to the Hive in their early days since they pretty much blitzed everything so tye Hive can't take any ground
I'm calling it now. Xivu Arath has enough status and power as the God of War to be the final end-game boss of the entire destiny franchise.
The game has been built on the story of sacrifice and self sacrifice and I feel like our Guardians story will end with the ultimate selfless sacrifice that ends the greatest universe destroying threat that is ever omnipresent wherever conflict exists. We sacrifice ourselves in a way that our paracausal powers destroy her immortality through war in a way that allows humanity to deliver the final blow that destroys her for good. Solidifying that Timeline we saw where Saint gives the eulogy of our sacrifice.
Also, it's just ultimate hopium fan casting for Xivu Arath. I think the queen of badass sci-fi Sigourney Weaver of Alien Fame should be our Hive God of War.
I'm guessing this only gets worse if we try to invade her throne world to punch her out there.
Fingers crossed this doesn't end with Rasputin killing himself after everything we've gone through. One scenario could be Rasputin just blows up the warsats? Who knows
After this last week's storyline, I have been going to my configurations on keyboard/muse etc. What I am expecting to see is a key option to "STOW" weapons.
Given how philosophical Rasputin was this week, I'm leaning towards the idea that he sacrifices himself (as a self-proclaimed war god of humanity) to counter Xivu.
This is late but I have an idea for Xivu Arath fight, have it be a puzzle. The DPS phase is solving the puzzle, if you try to damage Xivu directly you heal her. Lore wise the puzzle could be a failsafe early Savathun made to nullify her sister's abilities so she could possible over come her in a fight.
Oooh I didn’t know you were a fellow arena fan! You should do lore videos for magic, especially since the new phyrexian set is coming out soon. That’d be so awesome.
Can't wait for LightFall
now there's nearly 2 of us!
Season 20 ♻️ 😪😴 , the final form is the big DLC 👍 , lightfall Is ♻️💩
There’s more then one way to win a war without killing someone. You don’t have to kill the general to win. Capturing them and holding them works just as well. Capture but don’t kill can be effective in neutralizing the enemy without feeding her. If they don’t die they can’t feed her worm.
"How can you have a boss in a looter shooter that you can't shoot?"
Uldren lol.
I am in LOVE with the story this season❤
Exercising restraint and self sacrifice are so far the only effective counters to War.
Bravery leads to sacrifice, sacrifice leads to death.
Death has touched all in this universe. Except, so far, the Traveler herself.
I love how people actually think the lore is gonna fit the gameplay and we’re not just gonna shoot her to death like literally every other boss in destiny. “Omg fighting her makes her stronger so we have to find a new tactic in order to beat her.” Bitch please
Xivu would be such an amazing raid boss.
So does it help when I run past all the enemies on my way to my destination? Lol
I Love Xivu, the fact that for some time we thought Oryx was the strongest brothers turns she’s not
Well for a time, he may have in fact been the strongest of three.
However, since the three went their separate ways and with his final death, their power only grew that much stronger.
It could also be that the Books Of Sorrow, while largely truthful testament, still has embellishments from Oryx’s perspective. Plus, we learn from Witch Queen that the Hive and their gods were in fact lied to becoming genocidal pawns for the Witness.
Xivu is a female hive knight and I believe she definitely is the strongest now, thanks to having control of the Taken
Great video Myelin!
Listen, all I need is my Destiny LFG app and we'll be fine.
So, think we're gonna see npc's with, "Make Love Not War", signs up? We unlock a new ability to hug our enemies, and convert them to the light.
So what happens if the worm eats the host? Wouldn't that be the end of the worm as well?
Hive were all sabotaged from their inception. Rhulk and the Witness designed them to be a completely obedient race no matter how powerful they became. The worms would kill themselves without a host because they, at that point, are no-longer useful as their host is a failure.
Equip hug emote, hug Xivu. She melts. Too ez
Myelin!! Yer lookin well! and TIDY!! Is this the result of parenthood? If so, it seems to totally agree with you!! Happy 2023, and I hope your year is a great one!
Xivu. Awesome video as usual.
Savathun and Xivu remind me of Mork and Gork from Warhammer. One is brutal cunning, the other cunning brutality.
So Xivu is basically just like Khorn in 40k. Therefore making it practically impossible to defeat her. Especially since guardians live and breathe warfare, we’ve actually been feeding her and making her stronger this whole entire time. Dang.
Well, if fighting against her is completely futile, given both her nature and ours, then I have just one thing to say:
*BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD. SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE.*
WAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH! *Screaming in Ork*
Blood for the blood god, skulls for the skull throne
Oryx beat Xivu by diversity of ability All Powerful was their play
Savathun avoided the issue by trickery and sowing betrayal.
We have the force to stalemate, but not to resolve it and new method is required
Such as waging war against an undefined or nonexistent target or absorbing her will and carrying it away beyond her reach. A scapegoat.
Our god of war, a war mind, is the key to unleashing the hive god of war upon us. It’s kind of funny.
Hadn’t read the lore for Sagira’s sacrifice. That’s heavy.
I just hope the final encounter with XIvu Arath ends up being a survival horror type game, along the lines of 'Clock Tower' and such. Run and hide, starve her worm. Make it eat her. Now THAT would be a LONG raid encounter. lol.
OMG - make it a SPARROW RACE!!! Hit a check point, hop off, taunt Xivu with an emote, hop on and keep moving away. That would be an unexpected mechanic. SRL FTW!!
i think we will have a death mechanic similar to petra run one of us is chosen will pick a corrupted orb detonate close to her and die for dps but revives are so precious in raid
It makes me wonder if the Weave is an integral part of the Hive tribute system, like its sort of the infrastructure by which the killing of one thing moves into and becomes strength for the Hive, and then is moved up the chain.
And since Strand allows us to affect that directly, can we cut off her tribute by cutting her out of the Weave? Or at least, use Strand to incapacitate her in a non physical way, and thus deny her testing her strength which would only empower her anyway. From the last trailer, it seems using and manipulating Strand requires "loss" instead of "strength", the antithesis of Xivu and in some ways Sword Logic itself.
Is it possible to conduct a long range exorcism on Xivu? Tear out Xivu's Worm from a distance?
Nah Mara needed Savathun right in front of her for it to work and it took awhile for it to work having us wait for the perfect star alignment.
