- When you first take a look at Shaw Han you might think, this guy must be a legend.. Young Ahamkara's spine exotic and Last Wish Raid armor? He had to have taken down an Ahamkara! Recent lore suggests the exact opposite. Displaying Shaw Hans terrible skills and possible wish. His previous fireteams even left him to die. Let’s take a look.

Thanks for watching! - Ігри
Today we discuss some new lore on Shaw Han! Most players aren’t a big fan of Shaw, and Bungie plays into that in this seasons new lore card. We also learn where he got his armor. Personally I don’t hate Shaw and he could be involved in some epic stories in the future, but for now he handles the integration of new lights for the Vanguard and again is fireteamless
The only thing I don’t like abt him is that receding haiine
should've had some kind of lore off the bat, mainly what annoyed me because he just appeared and acted like a character with some importance, that we'd see more and just stopped being relevant immediately after the introductory quest.
Shaw is like many players. Born to raid, doomed to solo.
As someone that did 2 maybe 3 raids in D1 and haven’t did a single one in D2 this comment is way too true for its own good lol
omg I'm Shaw Han. :[
@@Azrael_Equinox unfortunate thing indeed
@primalfire7689 would you like to raid?
@@primalfire7689I’ll raid with you
He’s supposed to embody a blueberry. Everything you describe is randoms from LFG
I bet he's only got the boots bc his fireteam kicked him after the first encounter.
@@althechicken9597nah bro did a wish for the secret chest.
WHERE IS SHIRO-4?!
New aztecross lore just dropped
😂
Nooo why did you have to do him like that
LOL
True though
8:10 - In his random dialogue, he has a line, where he wonders how Dreaming City looks like, since he's never been there. So I guess he got the boots from the thrift shop...
The Dreaming City was open to outsiders since Forsaken. No non-Awoken has seem its interior prior to that. The Young Wolf was the first.
@@longps9528Not to mention the Young Wolf, if Awoken, is Reefborn so we may have seen it before then even
though we acquire the boots from the raid, the clue is in the name; strides of the great hunt. its possible that Shaw got the boots during that time and participated in the great hunt. I think a lot of people forget/dont know that shaw was able to spread his golden gun to a bunch of redjacks wielding auto rifles so he does have some unique skills and power.
@@themuleguy5266 No, Shaw Han is not even old enough to have seen the hay days of Gjallarhorn, i.e, he wasn't a Guardian during year 1 and 3 of Destiny 1
@@TheEmerald-pv4gn wheres this information from? I cant find anything that references when or how long he has been risen for
“He makes an LFG post for himself” sent me 😂😂😂
For a little while, I had a silly little headcanon that Shan Han was just a "dead" Ahamkara possessing the body of a guardian. I just thought it would be funny to explain how uncannily generic he is as an Ahamkara trying its best to seem human lol.
Obviously, it's not accurate, but funny.
Nah I think you might be cooking with this tbh
This would explain a lot about him tbh. Keep cooking with gas friend
Hold on, you cooking something here
I love it. Is he so clever that he is acting the exact way a blueberry would? Genius.
@@robertdewolfe1654 it's that blueberries behave as if they legitimately have never been a human before today
Honestly, bungie should have brought back shiro-4 for this role. He’s was an already established character, already stationed in the cosmodrome, and it would have been a nice way to bring the character back.
so what this tells me is he wished for friends like trust worthy friends but like all wishes paid the price and lost both in a matter of moments, thats genuinely really sad when u think about it
Yup, that's literally what happened haha
i dont think anyone looks at shaw and goes like "woah this guy looks tough"
maybe when he has his helmet on
@@Yimster06 not really,still a hunter
@@TheBillhs yeah but new lights can’t really tell that because they just see a guy in cool space armor with a bone on his arm
@@Yimster06 I guess
@@TheBillhs”still a hunter” lol ok bud. Don’t get what that means, but whatever.
He's that blueberry in trials that keeps getting sniped in the same lane every round.
I'm in this comment and I don't like it
I do feel some pity for him despite we all collectively clown on him for years. Also, it kinda makes sense that he feels like a new light since he is practically the first guardian we, as new lights, meet in the game. So I guess my new headcannon for Shaw is that he's the de facto 'leader' of the new lights.
What I'm hearing is he made a wish to an Ahamkara. No questions about it, no bad luck.
Remember, Ahamkaras freely twist your wishes if you're not precise in your wording. If you don't have the tools like Mara Sov does. Who's to say the cruel twist it chose to make was giving him the fireteam of his dreams, but dooming him to lose them.
His armor says one thing, his face says another. 😂
His face says he is Aztecross
@@izzyxblades 🤣🤣🤣
I spat out my coffee when I heard vex metal used for woks 😂
Well it’s the one metal common enough and won’t specifically Rust easily. Great as an heirloom to pass down
@@RurouniHiro I just hope they "disinfect" the metal really well... Radiolaria is highly infectious
Shaw Han: *exists*
His previous fireteams: “and I took that personally”
Somehow he got the Radiant verb during Beyond Light, so that's something...Supposedly when he pops Golden Gun(Because all story hunters use Solar, for some reason) it empowers everyone around him.
I’m guessing all hunters start out as solar, titans arc and warlocks void
@xeta01 That's how it was in D1 I believe
That is how it works for d2 as well I am pretty sure
@@Reflector1234 currently all classes start as void
@@LivingAlkalineSolution really. My cousin got into destiny, and he had hunter and a titan, as far as I am aware the titan started with arc and the hunter had solar
I remember there being a bit of lore showing some of Shaw's prowess, I think it was in Season of the Chosen or Risen, he essentially used his Golden Gun to buff a bunch of allies
Yea, its the lore tab for the swarm machine gun
I mean cass and mave both got clapped like the first hour in the game sooo... idk Shaw might be just not good at being a hunter
Exactly 👍🏻
He is a bad leader. Literally in the mission he said "we should have prepared better". Come on! if he was almost swallowed by the pyramids along with Io, when the order had already been given to all Vanguard personnel to evacuate the sites with ominous Pyramids in their orbits... Do you remember the size of those things? They were huge!! How the hell did he not see it? If he couldn't see an evil polyhedron above his head... he barely noticed that the guardian was a new light because of his precarious armor. And he doesn't even have the strength to free himself from stasis crystals of inexperienced eliknis... Is he really fit to even be in the Cosmodrome? I think he is safer there because the new lights keep that place clean!! Also, a hunter who is afraid of the wild and doesn't like to explore? It's like a Hunter with "training wheels" XD
@SuaKusaoIvanov as cade used to say about tevis or some others hunter too much night and not enough stalker lol yeah Shaw has the ahamkara bones so I think it's the only reason he is alive also I don't see anymore lore on the shadows of yor apparently our gaurdians don't even hold a candle to hoe powerful they are
@@deviljocky598UT do you know how many gods we've slain , turned into a weapon and by sheer force turned into allies or proxy of the vanguard's directives ?
We are the final shape.
@@deviljocky598UT I've seen Lore of the Shadows of Yor on the Book of Aunor, a Praxic female Warlock who made an investigation about the Drifter. Look on your books ingame, it is there, i think with a brown cover. But yes... We ARE the Final Shape :v
Lore accurate aztecross
Everybody knows aztecross is a warlock main.
@@79bigcatAztectoss is a Titan main lol
@@guiltyspark3434 perhaps I should have made it more clear that was sarcasm.
@@79bigcat don't worry, titans are not often smart enough to understand sarcasm
I mean, Ahamkara exotics reference the fact that ahamkara bones are a commodity, usually traded in back-alley deals, which honestly make a lot of sense; there is a symbiosis to that nature of deal-making involved. I wouldn't fault him for doing the thing that, in lore, every guardian except a few named ones and the PC has done.
On top of this; i don't think his wish was solely about being safe, because... he isn't. The Hive are of the most dangerous of active threats guardians face, and the eliksni are no slouches. There is many stories of dangerous eliksni in the past, and the past two hunter vanguards have been killed by eliksni or eliksni-born creatures. We know from this seasons the particular point to a Ahamkara wish is the decrepency between wish granted and its result, and that dependency exists pretty hard. He got his fire-team, and he found his gig, but neither lasted, and both were torn apart in the same breath. We can kinda use the lore of other wishes to see that some ahamkara play with the duration of wish granted, or how some people get exactly what they want only to have it taken away.
For what its worth, he's no slouch. There's a couple of loretabs where he shows off impressive feats of light manipulation and leadership qualities in the face of massive dangers after this low-point, namely his use of golden gun and his rallying call towards new lights after WQ dropped. He's not a big fish, but he doesn't present himself as that. He's not like every 3rd guardian that thinks themselves a god slayer for killing what amounts to a cult leader with magic spells, but tripss into the same traps and pits falls every other guardian walks into. He's humble, acknowledges their faults, and at some level understands the importance of a fireteam to a guardian. Which to be quite honest, would get him through a run of LW. Hell, i'd even believe he did riven without the cheese, and actually participated in mechanics.
It's actually pretty funny as most Guardians are no better than Shaw Han. Heck a vast majority don't even take their jobs seriously and that was why Gual was so successful in binding the light. If every guardian was like us the Witness themselves would've second guessed their invasion.
Remember that you can use the wishing wall in Last Wish to teleport to a chest that can give you raid loot. So you know only give him the one piece of raid armor and he isn’t an amazing guardian and it becomes clear he did the thing almost all solos do and got some free raid loot.
Wait, which wish is that lol
@@JamesZ32100 There are two, Morgeth and Shuro Chi
they both have chests
@@musicaltarrasque The bridge chest before Shuro Chi, and the chest before Morgeth where you have to fly all the way across the broken bridge?
@@JamesZ32100 Yes, There are two wishes that take you to the morgeth, and shuro chi encounter checkpoints.
Which you can then go backwards to get to the chests, it is pretty easy, just tedious to do on each character
@@musicaltarrasque I usually just go for the Shuro Chi chest, since i main Hunter. I've tried getting the chest at Morgeth tho, it was fun but quite a waste of time

@@supergoodadvice853 actually the last city is somewhere in Brazil
shaw han is the meg griffin of destiny
With regards to your comment in the video about him leaving us behind (I saw the flavor text).
In this regard, he left us behind to *protect* us. We were a New Light. He wanted to keep us safe from the big bad Hive Wizard.
When he was left behind on Europa, it sounds like people left him for dead. Sure in both cases it *can* qualify as "leaving someone behind", but the *context* and *reasoning* is entirely different... gives new meaning to the action itself.
I don't know... I only joined Destiny 2 just before Seraph launched so... I don't have a lot of knowledge from older Destiny... maybe that's why I don't mind Shaw Han as much. I felt like he was a nice intro character. He was trying to keep us, a New Light, safe, especially after having just lost his fireteam. He just didn't want to lose anyone else. Learning that he's had bad experiences with stuff in the past... ouch. Gotta hurt when you lose the one group of people you were finally able to trust.
Plus, buying armor? Do that all the time. Not as often with exotics but still... not too far fetched? I wouldn't say it makes him bad but, he's certainly not as powerful as our overpowered a$$es given the lore implications.
I don't know... I understand why people kinda clown on him but it also feels kinda mean is all...
It's like clowning on a random person you're playing with. Sure, you might be a better player than him, but not better person. Shaw seams like a good and caring person and deserves the same. Not everyone is on the same skill level and that's alright.
First of all, he's a blueberry. Second of all, he's wearing bought armor that we as a player earned, so he's a poser too. Second, he let his fireteam get killed and is absolutely trash in a fight. Third, he just looks too goofy to even be a real person. He's just overall a really I necessary character. Before he existed, the introduction quest had no support character and worked just fine without it
@@yasininn76People who bought Young Ahamkara’s Spine from Xur:
i started playing during beyond light and while i was like "who is this random" bc i was entirely new to the series, it does seem a little off the beaten path to keep making digs at him
@@yasininn76bro you can’t even count to 4 tryna make character summaries
I feel like he somehow stumbled across Xur to buy the exotic arms in the City...
I never understood why players just hate Shaw. Dude is forgettable but, not hate worthy.
He just got a job that was way out of his fire teams league. The hive wizard was pretty high up the chain after all.
5:20 This scene is still unintentionally funny if you run the mission with a fully equipped Guardian. XD
Even something as simple as pulling items from collections or your vault before progressing to this scene.
THATS WHAT I'M SAYING
Idk how to do that when I start a new character it won't let me go to the tower and stuff early
@@deviljocky598UT go to inventory then go to collections
@@NaderVaderYT ohhhhhhhh thank you
@@deviljocky598UT Yessir, dw I got you.
I wish there was a vet version of the new light quest where shaw acts like an arrogant character who looses his team due to his hubris whilst trying to impress the guardian.
I feel there would be more character development for him it would also be good for returning players as it would show that even guardians (not just saint-14 during corridors in time) look up to us and wanna be like that, you know just give the player a sense of gratification for what they’ve done in before there hiatus from the game.
Like you could make it that he doesn’t even take patrol mission to the cosmo seriously so it would cause him to be brash, maybe have him get cut off from his fireteam because he go to explore only to get caught in a hive trap that we save him from. The deaths of his team could also play out similar to how the new light base version does, instead though he scolds his fireteam for dying in what he assumes is an easy low level area. And we need to tell him off for not taking his guardian duty seriously to which he would show off to us and brag about what he has done (most likely very little like bragging about an expedition in the last wish raid that he got carried in [but in his delusions of grandeur he actually was “useful”] it would explain where he got his boots from for players and show that he didn’t really “earn” them).
Just some food for thought.
I mean Shaw does have a unique Golden Gun that’s basically a well and turn nearby allies weapons into Golden Gun
He keeps saying "no one likes to be sidelined"... Because he himself repeatedly was (and still is being) sidelined 😢
0:45 the wretch on the right is holding his spear like a gun
I like to think of Shaw as being just like a private first class who stumbles upon a civilian who has somehow managed to survive through what would normally be an extremely deadly situation to any one thats not a top tier like Zavala, Shaxx, Saint, Ikora, Cayde, Osiris, etc. He''s not meant to be a crazy badass or a legendary hero. He represents our beginnings, our failures, our setbacks, us.
Absolutely. Respect the struggle.
I don’t think it is that he is the worst, just that he is unfortunate, can’t really stop a Pyramid from consuming Io, and those Guardians that left him were likely jerks. And with the Ahamkara armor piece it is a monkeys paw, it takes what it gives. But he does make the best with what he’s got, and did give decent fights in other Lore.
People judge Shaw bc he's not even close than our guardian... Forgetting that, if power was a salary, we are like the Elon Musk of power level, while Shaw is just the tipical guy who works 8 to 5 with an hour for lunch.
I think he's not bad, just sheer bad luck he had, and the steady gig he wanted is welcoming new lights and keeping the Cosmodrome relatively clear for them.
Let’s be real for a minute. He’s got potential to be an amazing character. I’d love to see a redemption arc from him where he does some really cool shit to show us who he really is.
He has not? He has 0 personality, just plain boringness of a character, his looks is everything but unique and he's not even a strong guardian. He got clapped by a Hive wizard that we killed in a few minutes ffs
they just need to replace him with shiro, he shouldn’t have existed in the first place
@@speed47g I second that. Send his ass back to the tower.
As a hunter, i hate him because he gets to have his hood down with a basic ass helmet.
Bruh XD
Homie here yearning to be an NPC
It'd be hilarious if in what ever raid we kill the witness in the final shape; in a cut scene at the end, the witness gets a second wind, knocks us back, and then this guy comes in and straight up solos him. 😂😅
Shaw’s there to create an aspiration in new lights to be better. His biggest play was getting an exotic for glimmer, and that’s where his wins end.
Shaw Han drinks water
The witness: enough the final shape is coming
The fact that they put this much effort into dunking on Shaw Han is hilarious.
7:15 lmao the lil txt on the bottom had me rolling cuz we legit do the same don't we? We buy from Xur, tower vendors, and other places that sale gear. So 🤷🏽♂️. Hahaha that lil bit just made me chuckle a lil haha
This is just sad maybe later they will make him shine

@@canisarcani rhat would be epic
Shaw han is the type of guardian to celebrate when they see solo operative in the season artifact
I always thought that Dungeons, Raids, and Strikes had cleanup crews after the VIP lore entry in Season of Arrivals, and it was confirmed in Ghosts of the Deep. Maybe he was one of the teams to the DC after us and that’s how he got the legs given the repeating curse the location has.

As a newbie, Shaw Han gave me the energy of a character that was designed to apeal to a young kid getting into star wars. Callow, eager and kinda fun in a dorky way. I think of him in the same way I think there's a Star Wars character called Commander Cody: something a little silly but I can't hate him.
I got the full Great Hunt armor set from the secret chest at the Shuro Chi wish wall teleport/checkpoint before I even attempted the raid even once. You don't have to do the raid to get any of the Last Wish armor or weapons, except One Thousand Voices, unlike other raids where the secret chests only give you raid gear you've already gotten before for that raid. That bit is weird.
I'm not surprised we literally had to do his job for him after being resurrected
Wondering if shiro 4 is still around? Would have been nice for him to return
Ty for summarizing what you just read to us in the middle of the video. I'm sure it rly helped you get closer to the 10 min

@@dankim7831 idk I liked the video I'm not disagree with u jus saying it's 8 min now I think
i kinda feel sorry for this nerd. he doesnt even deserve to guide new lights.
I feel bad for the new lights
It would be pretty cool to see Shaw do something badass in the final shape. Imagine he does the knife and tripmine grenade combo on a campaign boss. Also, he gets better-looking armor. 😂
I forget that most Gradians in the cannon are more akin to mercenaries than actual protectors, soldiers or even Police.
I like how its talked about him buying the exotic arms and didnt kill the dragon but like. we didnt kill ours too...
Now we have though since we killed riven
He got recruited to go through the last wish but died at the first encounter, didnt get rezzed cuz he was terrible, aurt rezzed after the encounter and than got booted lol. The boots were his encounter chest drop lol
Crazy how much yall hate Azetecross man. Hes just out here trying to help new lights out.
I look at him and think : man this guy just looks like the physical incarnation of the word ''average''
I’m a day 1 vet. Never knew they added a new light quest like this.
The azteccross twin 😂😂
Pretty sure most people saw him for the first time and thought “Who is this restart”
I Didn 't know that Aztecross had lore.
testing the mobility right there in the stall is wild 💀 bro beat his shit in front of the dude
Zavalas armor is actually the Archons Forge Titan set from Rise of Iron (Minus the Massive left Pauldron).
Shaw Han is just your regular guy, a guardian like you and me before we have accomplished any legendary deeds. And perhaps that's fine! He'll live forever as long as he isn't being too stupid, so perhaps one day he will do something big.
Shaw Han is literally every solo player
house of wolves being "antique" is crazy I remember when I bought the dlc but I guess it was 9 years ago...
Let’s be honest half the news lights are like Shaw at this point
"hes been left to die by his other fireteams"
wow i didnt know that i actually feel bad for him and honestly imo if he would be a lil more active like yo remember i was the one guiding u to the city like yk i might like him a lot more hes cool its js his low screentime
and honestly if i had the option to id adopt him into my fireteam
Honestly I'm probably the only one who doesn't mind this dude existing
So the awoken were made some time after the collapse. When did they return? Because it shows Zavala at the city when it was starting out. I just don’t understand awoken guardians because I have never heard how they became it because they all started in the cosmodrome what worthy in doing there that went and killed them all?
The awoken were created when humans were hit with both light and darkness in the far reaches of space. When they were building their own society, some wanted to return to earth to help humanity rebuild. Many to probably all, didn't survive. They eventually became Guardians.
@@dinosaurwithcake1256 ok thanks. I just haven’t seen anything talking about it so I was super curious.
I remember restarting my playthrough on PlayStation and wishing I could be like the hive. Never liked anyone after what happened to Cayde-6. Both Shaw and Crowe will always be on my hunt list 😂
Nothing about his story sounds like he's a bad guardian. I've been abandoned by so many random fireteams just trying to rush through the game, and I'm well above average.
I'll just say Shaw got a strat from a vendor of glitching into last wish to open secret chest
I’ve got a really weird hunch that the Vanguard doesn’t even know that Shahan exists other than the fact that he’s a regular at the patrol board. I’ve heard Zevala mention him by name. But even if you’re a regular at a coffee shop they’ll know your name after 100 times being there in a row… Maybe zevala just assumes he’s helping people lol
He probably went to the shuri chi checkpoint in the last wish raid and got the secret chests to get the legs
Not to steal what little benefit of praise you granted him but I've gone into the Last Wish raid just to snag the easy solo chests and I have only received those boots.
Shaw definitely glitched into the last wish raid and got that leg armor from the chest
I tried Shaw Han cosplaying in D2, his cloak and shaders seem unique, I have found similar cloaks, but none that are hoodless
Shaw just used tbe glitch in the dreaming city to get the free chest and got a pair of boots.
The swarm machine gun lore tab wants to know your location
By the time Oi was taken the dreaming city had already been raided by the guardians and reven was dead. It’s very possible that Han just scavenged some of the loot we left behind or bought it on a second hand market
Dude probably got his pants from the hidden chest under the bridge in Last Wish.
Next
Savala, Ikora & Cayde-6 FT

To be fair he left us behind in a "safe place" cause he didn't want us to die
I mean it’s easy to figure out that Shaw Han and his fireteam are and we’re terribly unskilled from the get-go as almost all of them got final deathed by a strike boss
@EvazeOfficial you need to create e podcast or Spotify playlist, love how to do lore
I wonder what will be should we get a new intro campaign. Because now I can only recommend D2 only if you play through the basic campaign of Destiny Classic.
Can you do a video on the Cryo pod in the Treasure Hoard? (through the portal on the right of Spawn, then left side of the valley. Through the jumping bit. In there is a pod or some kind)

@@yasininn76 I have done it before but never understood it tbh
The picture of Shaw make it impossible to take him serious
so basically Shaw Han is the yamcha of the destiny universe
“Arms Race”???….Gango has a khavostov glued to his hip smh
Shaw is just like me, I only got to Last Wish to farm Kali with random people of LFG, but never make it completely.
Shaw han just went under the map for the secret chest
So what I’m hearing is that new lights were possibly “wished into being”
“Huh you sound just like commander Zavala, alright then gear up, *because every one of my other fire teams has either died or abandoned me*”
I don't know man, 9 Guardians went into the Savathun's Song strike and all died. That's pretty bad.
Shawnathan is my name for him I played d1 moved my character over to d2 and when I played the new light quest for the lols I didn’t even pay any attendant to the guy with no drip while I’m kitted out
dang this dude can’t catch a break
Shaw probably just poached the free last Wish chests for these boots.
So shaws lore is that he is literally just a new light blueberry.
My guess is he got the raid legs from a time he was carried through the raid and only got the legs as a drop
