Rhulks design is honestly top tier in my opinion
100% agree. Destiny also needed to introduce new designs like Rhulk's to the game, so I'm glad it happened and I hope to see more.
Yeah he’s amazing, so menacing and ancient and almost regal
The way he struts with his hands behind his back and just kicks you was the most hype i had been in awhile i wasnt even made that we wiped to that death on day 1 🤣
Am I the only one who thinks he kinda looks like Shazam?
@@miragebarrage9748 his red tight suit is all i see in common 🤣
I don't know if you hear this often, but we love you and your content and we appreciate you for expanding our knowledge on the game
Agreed. Best destiny lore channel out there. Definitely this past year sitting in on his streams he has turned into one of my favourite people.
oh shucks, thank you very much.
been here since destiny 1 because he's just that good.
Amen
@@MyelinGames if a friend of mine has a lore question I send them a link to your channel or byfs, beard grizzlies or Evan keep up the great work as always and could we see a collab with you and byf at somepoint?
Seeing the parasite interact with the world is one of the many reasons why Destiny is such an amazing experience. The lore behind it all, listening to this and all the others stories really makes it seem like this stuff actually happened. If there ever is a Destiny show/movie, I don’t see how it can better than this.
This one
@@radioguerrilha ?
Literally obsessed with Rhulk, best raid boss to date!
100% agree, honestly cooler even than it Savathun was the boss. When I finished the campaign and saw the ending Witness cutscene, I was honestly kind of sad that we would have to wait so long for light fall, to have the boss be this powerful and ancient of a foe, seemingly the Witness’s right hand, was just amazing and so gratifying to experience. This feels like the first really consequential raid boss since Oryx.
I mean it's just a fake story made up of people's imaginations
@@richardalfaro4933 Shut up
@@richardalfaro4933 Yes, that's the entire point of ALL the entertainment industry, who would want to focus on stories in the real world when everything is about wars, deaths, famines and just the ineptitude of humans in the face of adversity.
If you don't like this shit then don't engage with it.
@@richardalfaro4933 every story ever
It’s interesting he still refers to it as, “MY Lubrae.” Almost as if he misses it, or there is some sorrow or regret.
As arrogant as he is, he still has emotions. It's telling through his dialogue.
He still holds those memories dare. He says in his dialogue that he keeps the murals not to remember what he lost but what he gained. So its a twisted way of him remembering who is was compared to who he is now.
He says it's not regret. Just respect for what it did for him.
With the dark it seems memories and identity as an individual are most important. If it’s intentional it’s Probably sorrow but not regret is at play but it’s due to the nature of the importance one’s past has on identity
He still keeps his Father’s glaive shattered in dps area
That’s same glaive he used to decapitate his father
My God. Rhulk needs a whole destiny spinoff game based on his story. It would have to be rated m
his kicks and hands are rated e for everyone
sony did aquire bungie, and sony does have a motion pictures studio
A movie or a show would be nice too
with all the lore bungie have they need to make spin off games like halo did with halo wars, i mean you can think of any genere and it will fit, an RTS, an adventure game like telltale, even a karting game with the sparrows
I felt like he should’ve retreated at the end of the raid. Hope Bungie desides to bring him back…felt like an actual villain since oryx
8:49 Calus lost everything too before he encountered the Witness’s voice. This could mean that Calus is a disciple now.
When I accidentally saw tracks 30 and 31 I speculated the possibility of Calus being a raid boss.
Also could work for Fikrul, who lost everything. This partnership would also benefit the Witness, who gains a new puppet army in the form of the Scorn to replace the Hive.
I hope they don’t bring back the leviathan
It basically confirmed by the Vox Obscurs that he is. Caital says she sees a vision of Calus' form reaching out to her promising Salvation while some sort of worship is being done towards him standing as figurehead of a pyramid ship.
@@PixelleHearts I thought it was a Calus statue that she saw in her vision.
After not finishing contest mode, I ran and completed 2 characters back to back last night. Such a good raid
You know when I first saw the pyramid in throne world I was like “what did that?” Then when I found out that Savathun with the power of the Light was the cause for the pyramid being split apart I was like “wow she might be our match”.
Is it explained how she did it at all, or what exactly she did?
@@Moobeus she enhanced her light using the Wellspring. Thats why the Scorn attack the Wellspring to weaken the seal she put on the Pyramid
@@fishnutz5196 aha very interesting thank you!
@@fishnutz5196 how does the wellspring actually work, how does it enhance her light?
@@Moobeus honestly im not sure. I would have to look into it. All i know is the Wellspring is what spread her light across the Throne World
Rhulk's homeworld of Lubrae reminds me of the Star Wars expanded universe homeworld of the Jedi: Tython. That planet had two moons, one representing the lightside (Ashla) and the other being the dark side (Bogan)
I love that era of SW. Good comparison
Don't look directly at the bogan's moon. It'll burn your eyes
The symbols next to the umbral sun strike me as the darkness subclasses. Stasis blue, poison green (thorn, osteo), and then the red energy harnessed by Rhulk.
They looked more like arc, void, solar to me
@@schonkigplavuis8850 void is purple bruh
A subclass utilising cruxes and that darkness energy would be cool. But taken powers would be just as cool
I saw those symbols and instantly thought they were Engrams.
@@cyclo_17 Sorry bruh got confused with the raid. on the mural in the raid, you see two moons. One points to blue, orange and purple. And the moon on the left points to rhulk's helmet-like structure and his glaive.
If you noticed though, in the mural, the blue sun is in the dark side. And I'm pretty sure the blue sun was described to be cold as well. The planet seems to be tidal locked so one side is eternally cold and the other is eternally hot. If you look below the mural it further implies that the blue sun is of Darkness (black structures) and the red sun is of Light (trees.)
Rhulk is one of the coolest raid bosses to date lore and design wise
The Witness and Disciple story arc is giving off some strong Thanos and Ronan the Accuser vibes
Except Ronan was a bitch, which Rhulk definitely isn't.
I see it more as steppenwolf and darkseid. in how much Rhulk worships the witness and has been stated to conquer thousands of worlds. not to mention the aesthetics as well as the witness essentially being the darkness's chosen form.
I love that you mentioned his jealousy of savathun. There's a reason her name is on the expansion and not his. She's such a dynamic character. This guy is so ridiculously powerful, but an entity God he essentially helped create seals him away and neutralizes him. It's simple. Rhulk's greatest weak point is his hubris. The guy keeps a collection of his conquests close by and in the short time we've known him has spoken in great lengths about himself. A bit of a juxtaposition against the nihilism and nothingness that seems to surround the witnesses entire plan. You can't take all the trinkets of your conquest to the final shape Rhulk. He's a narcissist. A very bad match against the God of cunning and trickery. Being nullified underneath savathun, and possibly with no way to commune or contact his boss,must have infuriated him beyond belief. Good thing we were there to say something when she was finally gone. Savathun also found out just the surface of the real truth before she was killed by us. Imagine if she knew the scope of what Rhulk did to her and her kind. And he was right under her thumb in her own throne world
Perhaps the witness was aware of his shortcomings, but was certain he was loyal enough to get the job done.
@@spacedolphin6596 That's definitely intriguing. If Rhulk were paying attention I'm sure he'd realize the witness could drop him like a bad habit any time. But I'm sure the witness is aware of his sheer devotion. The cool thing about savathun is a lot of people, and rhulk himself, seems to be mistaken on the idea that if you create something, that thing cannot become more powerful than the creator.
Rhulk and the Witness made the hive essentially. But I think the witness sees something with the hive gods that require attention and an acknowledgment of some sheer potential that could even be beyond our new raid boss
@@spacedolphin6596 Kind of like Quan-Chi and Shinnok from Mortal Kombat
''you can't take all trinkets of conquest to the final shape'' made me realise just how similar Rhulk is to the Guardian. We take and take and keep trinkets and vaults filled with memories of our conquest. Rhulk really is just a darkness version of the Guardian.
I loved the lore tab where Rhulk is saying that Savathun is next after Oryx was killed. Pretty much saying he was the strongest your times next and laughing haha. He was right after all but he got caught in the Guardians wrath too
from what you can see in the dps arena for rhulk, there’s something of a display cabinet at the back wall, containing what looks like the original glaive (it has the same curved blades all down the side) dissembled. the original name of that glaive given by rhulk was “rheliksbane” (rheliks being his father) and looks to been used as a pattern to create his funky pillar one and lubrae’s ruin.
The D2 story just gets better and better with every release. I can't even begin to imagine what kind of craziness we're gunna get with Lightfall and The Final Shape!
Taking another look at the mural, Rhulk is represented on the left by the black trapezoid with 6 red marks (eyes). What do the 3 hexagons on the right represent?
Also interesting detail, the blue sun radiates dark lines towards Rhulk, as the red sun does light lines towards the other three hexagons. Curious about lore implications there.
'The hive got sunset'. Wow even indirectly bungie still cant get rid of old habits lol
I think this story is a master class in effective and purposeful retconning.
I love this lore. I wish I could just assemble a team to run the raid. Thanks for all the hard work buddy. Its always amazing.
What system you on?
@@CMDRKetchup what system you on too? let’s get this guy thru
@@anthonybanaana1059 I'm in Xbox we can use game chat
I don't think the Hive are "sunset", Xivu Arath is still out there and has a Throne world as well. She might also have many more Pyramid ships feeding her army
Its not about feeding, its about "no more worms" situation. Without worms Hive are just fragile Kryll.
And 3 worm gods. Akka is dead, Nokris said Xol is unreachable. Could be that Xol is dead, could be that he doesn't care and has achieved his goal. That leaves us with Yul, Er, and Ir. We'll have to see if this cripples them and Xivu's forces or if she can take forces from elsewhere.
Dont forget that xivu literally has a moon as a mobile base like a death star but without the massive gun (i think ?)
@@feliciascorner9795 Xol is in a weird state right now, he's kinda just chilling as Whisper of the Worm. Not dead, but can't do much without us. Doesn't even really care either, man's just wants to be used as a gun.
And war moons
I havent even played the Raid (probably never will due to not having hours to do them) But mannnn with what you can still learn about him in the preservation missions? Mannnnn its soooo good.
I love reading all the lore but also love listening to you read it. I always reccomend you to anyone who wants videos. Great work!
On the structure that floats above the arena in which you fight Rhulk, there are 2 black armory symbols. They are located on the bottom of the structure. Makes me wonder why the black armory is called the “black” armory.
Ada-1, an exo, is connected to Clovis Bray who was swayed by darkness. I think there's a deeper connection there somewhere.
Couod even be connected to Clovis Bray being the disciple of the Europa pyramid and the darkness connected to the deep stone crypt. Although it seems now the pyramid there is wanting us to be its disciple
@@ericksalinas1415 Ada-1 is an exo but she was not made by CLovis Bray. If I remember correctly Ada-1 is the only light based exo around made by the black armory founders whereas the Bray exos are darkness based.
@@thif4722 I was under the impression that Clovis Bray had built all the exos. Oh snap! So the Black Armory also built exos, that's wild.
What an amazing time to be a Destiny fan. So so so cool and fun
in terms of gameplay, Rhulk was by far the best fight in destiny 2.
A boss that isn't just 'Stun and burn', but actively tries to chase you and sparta you off the edge.
in terms of mechanics, it wasn't complicated at all, 3 people can add clear, 3 can do the first set of mechanics, then 1 person and 1 caller does the pre-dps phase.
Very well designed.
Thank you Myelin for covering all this in a short time. The new lorebook and tabs can be a bit of a heavy to read sometimes and this puts everything together really nice and simple!:D
In the mission, they say that its unlikely she destroyed *all* the factories, likely keeping some in reserve just-in-case
Little addition: Rhulk didnt fall, he was pushed.
He was a stalker for the regime and he came upon his father trying to smuggle a clan of wanderers (his old family) into Lubrae (btw Lubrae is a city, not a planet) Rhulk is furious and his family appeal to his emotions "oh noo rhulk we love you cmere give me a hu-" *yeet*
on his way down, he describes his clan's faces showing relief as they watch him fall to his death.. after the wittness re-creates him he changes his glaive's name from "Rheliksbane" to "Lubrae's Ruin" (rhelik is his dads name)
also the Saphiric Sun is not an actual sun. its most likely a sort of power plant that sustains Lubrae. most likely a form of nuclear power. look up a video of a fission reactor powering up "Cherenkov radiation" is a deep saphire.
also the reason his planet is dangerous at night is because its populated by what sound like semi sentient carnivorous plants
The vista when I first came upon worm momma in that mission and said to myself "is that a worm" was pretty awe inspiring.
More disciples is promising.
Eramis with house SALVATION and
Calus with his vision of the end.
An advanced taken race is possible.
And in the end, the vex.
I doubt the worm factories in Savathun’s throne world were the only ones. The three siblings were each other’s greatest Allie’s but also each other’s greatest rivals. They wouldn’t have entrusted any one of them with the source of the worm larvae lest they use that as leverage over the others. Oryx’s and Xivu’Arath’s broods would also have their own sources.
The worm mother played her role in whoever’s grand design. Someone maybe us is supposed to take the seat of the first disciple. We need that power to survive.
What
We do take his weapon so there is that
If each of the two suns provided an equally important role in his ecosystem, that would make it more believable that Rahlk would willingly work with darkness.
Thanks Myelin and chat. So much effort for these and we appreciate it.
I already can’t wait to see the next big part of the storyline! I’m guessing we still won’t even make contact with The Witness until “Final Shape” releases!
The new lore is so wonderfully complicated. I love it! Just little things like the parallels between the wanderers and the regime to the traveler and the black fleet. There’s so much to dig into.
Best raid boss and his weapon is awesome looking! Wish that was the exotic we got from the raid instead of the three crap glaives. Dont know much about the exotic rifle but i know once the other classes get reworked that guns done for. Lol
Well you still get the boss glaive as a legendary luckily
The 3 crap glaives are from the evidence board quests, I agree though once Void 3.0 isnt the hottest thing anymore that gun isn’t gonna see any use
The loot from this raid is awesome
Hey mate, this is insane! loved being there for the production!
The worm dialog and our ghost is funny af 🤣 like a road trip with children lol our ghost is a straight up savage sometimes
I think the “umbral sun” sounds a lot like a black hole. Anyone else think so? Most black holes are observed to be part of binary systems such as this. It also goes very interestingly with the Darkness using gravity as a weapon in previous lore entries.
Also looks like the symbol in the raid mechanics with the grey circle in the middle that looks like its sucking light in like a black hole
And black hole systems are often sources of X-rays, which would make it dangerous to be outside when they're up.
I haven't been able to play in a long while. Been dealing with my sister passing away, and my ex lover leaving. But your videos always seem to lift me up, and encourage me to keep going.
Thank you, especially for helping me know more about Worm Mommy over the years. ❤️
Your my fav lore guy, nothing fancy not cocky just the lore and some insight. I read this lore and I am blown away I like this rhulk story way more then anything else
you should expand more on how savathun used the light to seal Rhulk. The traveler helped her? or is the light that she was harvesting with rituals from the guardians? Like the guys dead in the arcology strike (rip taeko-3 by the way).
So now the question is, is the veil statue a Lubrean or something else entirely?
If the Witness was itself a mortal, there is still alot of mysteries about the darkness races
Just watching the cinematic of the legendary campaign alone, which was one of the best if not the best in Destiny thus far, and seeing the witness at the end with smoke hair with faces, the way they glided across the room blew my mind right there.
Mylein games thank you for all that you do for the destiny community! You are a true light bearer and mentor for the rest of us! Best of luck on your personal accomplishments!!
8:25 perfect ad placement Myelin.
ALWAYS amazing Sir Myelin!!! this whole Vod and Rhulk and omg...I wants it allll precious lol you rock dude!!!
Totally starting to think that we're gonna see hive guardians, cabal guardians and eliksni guardians in the last fight with the witness
I just wanted to say that Myelin Games is the only reason I bought the Destiny Lore Volumes 1, 2 and 3. When I found out he had worked on them, I bought them.
Cheers! :)
First of, thanks for explaining the story and lore of the wq dlc in a understandable way without dragging it out too and just being honest what we know and whats speculation.
Second, im pretty exited that we finally have been introduced to a whole new race (even if its just 1 character). Gives me hope we will see more of this in the future and wont be fighting the same races over and over.
I doubt Savathun had all the worm factories in only her throne world. At the very least Xivu and the other worm gods probably have a way to make more.
What about the Worm Mother? You think there’s more than one?
this
Great raid but they truly missed out on letting us walk through second to last encounter making us think we where gonna fight final boss and then he throws his forcefield up and it throw us back to the encounter making us do it then we truly get to do final boss
More like a "oh you think you deserve to fight me" then he pushes you back to the encounter you walked through forcing you to do it for real
Thanks for all the easy listening over the years!
"You can leaaaaave!"
🤣🤣🧐
Thanks for the summary! Helps make sense of some of the stuff I read and put it into perspective.
I think they did an amazing job on the raid. Its soooo massive inside there, the mechanics are dope, the raid bosses was cool AF especially on day 1. Even caretaker looks like an mummified hulk. I did get contest mode finished too. It was pretty dope.
That’s the best pic of Rhulk so far
What an experience fighting this boss day one. Starting theme instilled fear, DPS theme inspired hope
props on the "To Become A Warlock" background theme
Perfect! This was exactly what I was looking for. Clear and concise. Perfect for my commute this morning. Thanks man!
I could listen to you all day! Loving this content!
I love how sassy our little Ghost claps back in this dlc! Like all that anger and frustration that has been building up over the years is finally being let out. Or atleast most of it!
Na I wish we could say half of his lines instead it’s kinda annoying to hear him side for me
Sheeesh, thanks to Cross been watching all your uploads now and the lore is really interesting 🔥
This was an amazing summary. I love all the lore surrounding these stories. Thanks for the amazing video as always Matticus Patticus.
I wish we could like videos more than once, it's by far my favorite lore video so far!!
Another ASMR lore review. I was listening to this in the background while I worked on my Surface Pro.
Bruh an ad played right after Myelin says “This is getting demonetized”
I’m *rolling* 😂😂
I almost wish we didn't kill him. He seems like such an interesting character. hopefully the next Disciples we face are just as cool
Dude insulted main man Oryx, he had to die.
He's likely not dead
He's not dead, the roots are regenerating him.
when we kill him, his body kinda turns into a tree, which makes me think he's not actually dead
@@SanctusRexGAVIAL thank you for protecting my honour.
"Perhaps I judged you (Guardians) too harshly"
I really want to know what Rhulk thought about Oryx becoming the Taken King. I would imagine he wouldn't like that
The worm also speaks during the wellspring and at least one of the new strikes.
Matt I need more. I couldn’t play the Raid, because of hacked account. I need more of this lore! Tyvm
„Decapitates his father, fantastic this video is going to be demonetized now“
Getting an ad directly after the sentence😂
Favourite lore video of the season.
It’s ok Myelin. If I can stomach Byf pronouncing Xivû Arath’s name as Sheevoo Arath I can stomach you saying Rhulk wrong
Byf is so cringe that’s why I love myelin he’s just a normal dude explaining the lore
@@domenicderrigo7733 K, say whatever you want to keep your boat afloat. I like both Byf and Myelin.
@@domenicderrigo7733 I actually love Byf it’s just this one thing about him he does that irks me another
@@domenicderrigo7733 you don't need to shit on people to lift up others.
@@domenicderrigo7733 byf is a legend
Awesome summary. Thank you. Much better than the others. Very concise.
Savathun be like: "iM fInE, dont feel betrayed at all, nope"
At some point, Savathun will probably be resurrected looking at the way story is headed and the ending of the campaign, and the way Imaru vanished. Ikora's hidden still has Savathun's body stored in some secret location.
This is fuckking amazing! Low Key feels so bad for these villains, really sad back stories! It’s what makes a good “villain”
The first mural has imo, depictions of darkness powers on the right side. Stasis (blue), green (dark plants) , yellow ( ???) earth guessing.
I've been really interested in the worm gods origins. Like who was the first one, were they created by The Witness or darkness, how old are they, etc. Maybe there is a video our there that I missed.
This is my favorite bit of storytelling Bungie has come up with.
I've heard this described like three times already and hearing you describe it is the first time I've gotten greek mythology vibes.
Bro, this is truly amazing! The work you put into this is truly appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to put this masterpiece together. I've always been a huge fan of Destiny lore and in a 19 minute video you have literally just blown our minds.VERY WELL DONE INDEED! Please accept my upvote! I am speechless right now. I can't wait to see how everything eventually plays out in the Destiny universe. Thanks a million bro!
I can't wait for you and My Name is Byf to get together and do a lore....(My Name is Byf is the Northern half of lore while Myelin Games is the Southern half of lore) that will blow folks minds.
Sir you just made my day this is crazy im a lore addict
You’re a g for making this video man!
Worm mummy! Thanks for all your hard work, Myelin!
Couldn't stick around for all this last night, but well done!
This lore has been incredible. I can't begin to think what next season holds!
This new expansion has me so excited for the future
Myelin: *tries to explain some lore*
chat: *worm sex*
Great great video worm dada
Thank you Myelin. Hello Twitch 😁
Haha would be awesome if one person with Whisper and one with the new Worm launcher roll in a fire team.
Only for Xol to start talking to him out of Whisper.
Third fireteam member rolls up with Xenophage which starts laughing maniacally at them both.
Raid teams second fire team rolls in with Darci and merciless.
Our Guardians and their hobby of casually turning every thing into a gun.
Que Banshee-44 face over Defoe in spidering meme "You know, I'm something of a gunsmith myself...
Wait...what was I doing?"
Damn, I didn't know the lengths Savathûn went to. You was a real one sis, even if you betrayed the Darkness, you looked out for our race first and foremost.
