- Destiny 2's Lore and Story in the Season of the Seraph tells us about the new Exotic Mission, Seraph Shield & the Exotic Weapon that comes from it. Revision Zero. This is only the first time we're going to be looking into it's lore, but already we can tell that Fenchurch's investigation of the weapon hints that it's made from materials recovered from the K1 Darkness Relic on the Moon!

After all these years, finally; Word from Fenchurch.
Tess must be jealous
True endgame reached
Word from Fenchurch today: he found something interesting.
Finally we found something before he did!
Fenchurch ending his message with "would you kindly?" really got me.
Same ngl
A man chooses, a slave obeys.
Agreed
I wonder if that's not an intentional reference? Like, maybe this is some sinister influence from Revision Zero that wants you to bring it to the Mars Artifact? Whatever this material is, we know it slowly drove the K1 scientists insane...
I noticed that too.
You didn't mention the part about "Synthweave" which Ada is currently experimenting with to give us our cosmetic armor mods. She keeps mentioning it has other potentials of great import. I think Ada and her armory will soon play a bigger role in crafting new weapons and armor based on what we learn from this weapon.
Yes, this. Everything is slowly getting connected.
Season of the Black Armory over the next year seems all but guaranteed
YESSSSSSS maybe before the witness attacks ada collects and moves all the forges to the helm????
I think there is a lore tab (I believe one of the new seasonal weapons) involves a convo that has ada stare that she isnt planing on smithing weapons anymore.
Tbh i hope the city falls just so that she would start up again
Kinda crazy he missed that bit. Can’t be a coincidence. If they turn Ada into a full fledged crafting vendor/hub of some sort, that would be amazing!
Fun fact: This is the first Hakke exotic weapon since the Taken King (when we got Fabian Strategy)
This quest HAD IT ALL, taking the tempting middle road of the Seraph complex, DSC looks and buff management, shooting to space, beautiful vistas, two different types of enemies, an interesting first half with us not fighting boss but making a fuzz to get ourselves captured, LITERAL WARCRIMES (love to see it), dialogue from Fenchurch! And then a crafted weapon. This is shaping up to be the best season of the year by far and if your nay saying is "muh asset flip" then take the goddamn door.
Personally, I found this exotic quest to be something new that I really liked, sure it gave DSC vibes, but at the same time, this was something that has been around since Beyond Light first started and now we're using the buffs from DSC to go through the Seraph Station in order to retrieve a weapon that's related to the Pyramids while dealing with foes of our past, AKA, the Defiled members of House Salvation, resurrected by the Witness. I really liked this quest and hopefully we get more quests like this in Lightfall and beyond.
YESSIRRR SOMEONE SAID IT. this season is 100% gas gameplay wise and most fucking definitely story wise. Bungo is connecting all the dots in all the right ways to get us ready for lightfall. everyone complaining about reused assets are babies and dont get that ITS A FUCKING SPACE STATION. of course its gonna look similar to other space stations made by the same people. like wtf are yall complainers thinking 🤣
@@ChickenMan3428 the people that complaint about asset flips don't develop games, certainly don't develop games of this scale for the length of time D2 had beem going on for. You'd take all the logical shortcuts you can if you can.
And no champions!! Hizzah!! I finally got to play somewhat challenging content with weapons I actually wanted to use instead of guns I had to use for champ stuns. It was nice.
NGL people complain about whatever they can, for me as a dad gamer with limited time. This season is absolutely killing it content wise I haven't even got to play this weeks mission let alone the exotic quest. I did finish the new dungeon on Monday though. Please don't stone me but it's almost too much content to get through! Who would have thought someone would ever say that about Destiny🤣
A more recent reference to the smell of the wet earth was in the page titled "II - The Whispering Dark" of the Above All Else lore book released in Season of Plunder. Inaaks, Mithrax's mother, and her pirate crew ventures to the Lunar Pyramid and encounters the creatures stinking of wet soil. She experienced the Whirlwind at the hands of the Oryx and the Black Fleet, there is no way she doesn't know what the Taken or the Hive are. Her being unable to identify this creature is the biggest indicator that they're something we haven't seen yet. Perhaps this smell is one of the characteristics of the upcoming Tormentors.
Love the tormentor theory
can't be Taken anyways, they are pure Neutrinos.
I completely agree with this and it makes a lot of sense.
I'd also like to add that Hive screams can fairly easily be compared to the sound of metal being stretched and compressed
Is there any reference to it in the Drifter's story on those weird creatures he found on a planet he got stranded on?
I love how when the guardian, who was most likely a titan, punched the artifact casing, Rasputin basically sent a high speed cease and disist from orbit
*Thonk*
NYET followed by immediate bombardment
We titans are simple people.. we see something that confuses us, angers us, or threatens us, or even intrigues us, we punch it..
considering how its currently situated on a crucible map, this probably happened extremely often
More like Rasputin bitch slapped the guardian
I am a simple man. Byf releases a video I watch.
Titan?
@@oc3891 I can tell a fellow crayon muncher when I see one
Same
Titan logic is sound, brother.
@@oc3891 Is more like a guardian undivided. Sometimes when I play a Titan I have that cunning, As a Warlock I exert enough force to start and end a World War, As a Hunter I end up using enough wisdom to never stop learning about my foes.
Something to note about Hakke. Out of all the traditional foundries, they have the most stasis weapons. And their origin trait is the only one to have an effect on stasis verbs. Probably a coincidence but….
Didn’t they have a thing the savathun?
Hakke only started making stasis weapons around the same time as the rest of the big foundries (i.e, start of WQ), but they notably were more eager to make a bunch. Herod-C, Perses-D, etc.
It was also a former hakke engineer who built the hoarfrost z titan exotic, which if I'm remembering the lore tab correctly, allowed him, a non-lightbearer, to render a hive ghost motionless, most likely with stasis based on what the exotic actually does in game. Also, in season of the chosen, the psions built their light suppressing devices using stolen remnants of ghaul's traveler cage that they stole from a hakke warehouse. Why hakke would have this technology is unclear, but it seems that since before the collapse, the company has been skeptical about the traveler and lightbearers, and possibly more willing to embrace darkness than other foundries. It might be a long shot but it would be cool to have a plotline about hakke personnel/civilians, now mistrustful of the traveler, ghosts and guardians (mainly due to the lucent hive's existence) using stasis and light suppressing technology to rebel against the vanguard and its guardians
Foundry wars like in borderlands 3. Sounds neat.
@@nefanyo5788 hello is this promethea
I think that the creatures talked about in the black armory papers are the same the drifter found on that planet and are in fact the tormentors that we see in ligthfall.
I think that you're on to something!
Yeah i think you are right
Was just thinking about this! Hopefully we'll hear that machine stretching sound when the Tormentors move. Because that will be horrifying to hear in game
@@Chronoman I think we've already heard the noise... 9:58
Agreed.
I find it cool that apparently our Ghost has Smell-O-Vision technology
Just imagine punching the anomaly on the crucible map, just to have a warsat immediately fall on top of you once your far enough of away from it. A special way of saying ‘please don’t screw with this’ by Rasputin.
It almost hurt hearing Eramis talking at the end of the mission. She sounded so defeated in giving the dialogue to us that she was probably forced to say.
Yeah sad stuff then the conversation she has with mara as well eramis is a broken woman
@@byranwitherspoon5369 where can i read that?
@@roycelang1977 it was one of the messages at the helm in the section with clovis
Yeah hearing that i half believed it wasnt her like it was when the witness talkes through others voices in glycon
If you ever heard domestic abuse victims talk, thats exactly how Eramis sounded like.
The most disturbing part of this is honesty that the hidden can hack any Guardian's ghosts at will, and then can both see and *smell* through them.
Not quite sure why I needed to do all that stuff in season of the Drifter, but here we are.
what about the part of everyone that isnt there in person, is talking through our ghost for years? i mean ,it explains why the ghost symbol always shows up at the top right every time there talking "over radio"
To me that always felt like we set up comms and went on a mission, during which we could hear the people on our Comm channel.
This felt more like we got a phone call from a guy who casually started talking to us about what we were just doing inside our own home.
@@Crushanator1 Maybe so, then again a digital system like our ghost would be able to receive a signal, process it, and decide to just let it through in a heartbeat. If he wanted to I think he could've blocked his signal, but we are familiar with the hidden. So why block the signal from one?
I just got to say I love this weapon. How it sounds, it’s looks, how it shoots. It’s all amazing. It’s my new favorite gun
get vex mythoclast , thank me later
@oxE i already have it?
Something that is evident to anyone familiar with the lore, but is interesting nonetheless, is the timeline portion. Especially making mention of Rasputin initiating a SKYSHOCK protocol. The development of this weapon was rudely interrupted by the arrival of the Witness. And if I remember correctly, that would make this weapon a bit more than mere "hundreds" of years old
Haven't heard form Fenchurch in a while, he must've found something interesting
The "would you kindly" still puts my hackles up... it's been like ... almost 2 decades, lol.
The final boss has major story implications for the future and im excited to see where this story thread will take us
My first thpguht was oh no, taniks coming back again
just wait they now have an excuse for taniks
a secondary story beat of this season is definitely The Witness punishing Eramis for her failures in BL and Season of Plunder. i imagine from here on out we are going to see more scorn variants of House Salvation and quite possibly Eramis forming a strained alliance with us against The Witness in the future sometime around the Final Shape
So, we're probably going to meet Phylaks the defiled soon enough, if this season's new Scorn were any hint...
@@cbandit7715 me too lmao, funny thing is earlier that mission I was discussing with my friends why Taniks was never gonna come back
This is probably such a small thing but the background music he chose to use during the black armory lore reading at 7:35 gave me full on goosebumps
The design on the mag kinda resembles some of the wall designs in the Bray facilities on Europa, namely Creation and Perdition, especially when compared against the Witness and Upended iterations. I would also guess that the familiar, unnerving frequency Fenchurch mentioned would have something to do with the pyramid tech he encountered on Luna that he found in a single, strange thrall that was politely waiting outside his door.
The monsters on the random frozen planet that Drifter and his fire team were stuck on for years smelled or wet earth as well didn't they? I think maybe Egregore is also described as smelling of wet earth.
wouldnt be surprised if it did considering its a fungus, but im not sure if the drifter creatures ever were identified with smells.
Guardian: Punches unknown object that can destroy the moon
Rasputin: Sends a warsat to kill the guardian. “Don’t you dare f****ing do that again.”
I like the idea of Hakke being around for so long. Their weapons are my favorite because they look the most realistic and look the most modern.
Gameplay and lore wise, this is shaping up to be one of the juciest seasons in a while. Not to mention the exotic mission, which was pretty amazing, and fun to solo
Totally. And it'll be worth doing multiple times because there are areas we can't access yet.
I love how this object has to be held in containment otherwise it would destroy the moon, but but there are statues on Calus' ship made of neutron stars.
To everyone freaking out about the anomaly being in a crucible map: our crucible maps are just projections, not the actual location. This is how we still go to Mercury despite it being taken by darkness. The anomaly map doesn't have the real anomaly in it, it's just a simulation.
I hope you’ll do a video on Prakis becoming a scorn, and the implications of that. I wonder if we’ll see scorn versions of Phylaks and Kridis as well
we did see phylaks, she is a boss for the moon heist
@@Hoodagames no, that Scorn was named Phyris, not Phylaks
I would also like to note, if no has realized it yet, is that the quest around the pulse rifle has references to the Lord of the Rings.
Keep it secret, keep it safe, is what Gandalf told Frodo about the One Ring before he leaves to research more about the artifact.
It's also the same quote that Bungie uses to keep weapons/armour hidden in the API until it's properly ready to reveal them
The catalyst quests are named "Should You Choose To Accept It" which is a reference to the James Bond films.
@@ShaoShaoMienshao that's mission impossible actually
I’m quite surprised you didn’t mention the “Above All Else” lore book where in chapter 2 The Whispering Dark where they say…
“We traversed that day into dark tunnels, where something hideous festered beneath this moon's surface. Horrific creatures that stank of wet soil, shrieked like dying animals, and tore at flesh.”
I’m not usually a pulse rifle guy, but I really like the way this thing feels. Excited to see what lore goodies it gives us.
Lol Fenchurch using “Would you kindly” gave me Bioshock flashbacks.
I can't stop thinking about how Soteria made a submind and what being partitioned and drawn into a pillory site from the 1st person pov has a surprising amount of parallels with the Traveler and Ghosts... maybe it's just me, but it's an interesting thought to me.
"Would you kindly." Bioshock has taught me to question that phrase.
The Symbol on the mag is also seen as the totem right outside the doors you go before the VOW raid
These recent lore entries from the verge of The Collapse are reinforcing my though that this would be a great time period to have a TV series
I'd rather have a prequel game that's not an MMO but rather a single player/coop story game
@@fuckinantipope5511 i'd take a VR-optional cayde single player game as well
@@fuckinantipope5511 destiny needs to capitalise on all these opportunities, spin off single player games or hell maybe ingame campaigns like expiditions in no mans sky. TV shows, movies, etc
Rasputin: dont touch the anomaly
Guardians: lets hold crucible matches here. Im sure the anomaly wont be accidentally punched, shot, hit with munitions, etc...
The idea of Rasputin dropping war sats on guardians just to send a message is so funny
I thought the line about "not wholly synthetic" refers to non-artificial materials like raw metals and minerals.
(HHI = Hakke Heavy Industrial?) So, the line about Synthweave suddenly ties this back to the initial quest we did in Season of the Splicer to help Ada-1 set up her new threader system.
The Black Armory lore page is honestly terrifying, something about it is so chilling you can just imagine the scene
The idea of Rasputin fucking throwing a warsat at a guardian for punching that relic has to be one of the funniest things ever to me idk why I laughed out loud at that. Goddamnit I love Rasputin
I believe it was a titan too
*Titan punchs*
Rasputin: listen here you little shit *yeets warsat*
You mentioned the Black Armory entry and my skin crawled. I knew what you were talking abt straight away.
Anyone else catch in that if the material shifts, and grows and isn’t synthetic, pretty much reminds me of the stuff that Rhulk exploded into, and the stuff that one guy nuked himself to keep contained.
Byf you should do a lore vid on the Fallen Sunstar at some point because the lore explains how exotic armor pieces are made
Fenchurch got those Gandalf vibes.
“Keep it secret. Keep it safe!”
Oh my god the thing that attacked the black armory was totally a Tormentor wasnt it? It fits all the criteria.
Before going and watching the video, one thing that really interests me is how the Foundry Label in the weapon screen and the loretab confirmed that Hakke is actually a company from the Golden Age.
That's what floored me when I read the lore tab. And it's crazy that they partnered with braytech to make a weapon
I kinda think Häkke is the Destiny universes version of german gun manufacturer Heckler & Koch. Häkke SMGs share similarities with the MP7 and their auto rifles look a lot like HK416s
I was somewhat hoping for an Exotic Warmind themed Glaive, something with abilities similar to Rasputin’s Javelin. Though the new, aggressive one we got is still pretty good, and the other exotic weapons we can obtain this season. I just hope seasonal red border weapons will still be available to obtain after Lightfall arrives, as I don’t have all the seasonal weapons unlocked for creating.
The end logs back-and-forth between the clothes frames Lee seem to be from the beginning of the collapse, system wide collapse and all.
Not sure if anyone noticed but during the seraph station mission in one of the locked rooms needing an operator buff, there is actually a darkness artifact, the same one we were given on the pyramid ship on luna. It's a ball.
Finally, a Hakke exotic. Haven't had one since Fabian Strategy. We used to say Zen Meteor was Hakke, considering it uses a Hakke sniper rifle frame but the confirmed that to be from the weapon foundry that created Telesto.
Not related to the story, but I realize this Season is referencing to two games. One during a heist, Ana Bray's line mirrored to Lotus. 'Operator, patch me into that console' then we got, 'Would you kindly' from Ryan. This is pretty cool I'll say! Tid bit references kinda shows Bungie's awareness of other games with familiar lines.
Are we gonna talk about that yellow bar in the mission called “tormentor of the helium drinkers”?
That dude should be literally among the first batch of Krill who took the Worm larvae in their bodies. Similar in age to the Osmium Sisters.
@@waamintion5653 yeah my thoughts exactly i love this mission
@@byranwitherspoon5369 I, a 35 year-old man, literally squealed with joy like a teenage girl when I saw that Hive mini-boss. I'm a massive Hive lore fan. Oh, by the way, it was "Scourge of the Helium Drinkers" to be exact. And his Chitin was different than any other Hive. And he had (I think) Eliksni markings on that cloak he was wearing.
also... ua-cam.com/video/HaMYuwBPj10/v-deo.html
@@IRObot2113 thx for the clarification lol i got excited as well lol
What if its the Tormentors, coming in Lightfall that were being hinted at back in the Black Armory lore tab?
they seem to be physically similar to the Witness and other darkness items, maybe they smell like wet earth?
The mentions of this creature smelling of wet rot and emitting sounds of seemingly mechanical origin, my mind goes to 2 places.
The more unlikely one is the Vex, specifically the ones from the black garden - they're covered in moss and the noises some of them make sound a lot like the description. The Vex were known to make a one or a few frames designed specifically for war, perhaps they have another they're keeping particularly hidden.
The other more likely possibility imo are the tormentors shown in Lightfall, they seem to be made from the same resonance stuff we see in VotD, specifically that wierd thing on top of the barge we escort at the start.
I'm wondering if the enemy they were fighting in the lore tab from black armory was a tormentor, given the fact that it's of the darkness, extremely powerful and we don't exactly know what our enemies smell like.
You gave me most of my lore knowledge
Thank you byf
If you have played bioshock the "would you kindly" line might give you the chills
Thank you byf and Editor for making great content weekly
the way I figured it, with the darkness logos on the magazines of the weapon and the references to synthesizing materials from K1 mean that this gun was a golden age prototype attempt to reverse engineer the materials that make up the pyramid ship. sort of XCOM style, they obviously immediately decided to integrate it into a weapons platform.
It still gets a kick out of me that we hold crucible matches in the vicinity of the anomaly without any concern of damaging the containment of the relic, nor has anyone gone insane from the countless hours we've spent within it's vicinity. It's just kinda there and we treat it like it's a cool piece of cover to hide behind in our sporting games.
7:59 the power that Rhulk bears can be described like a machine that stretches and compresses,
even the yellow portals sound like metal.
Yet I wonder which race following the Witness smells like wet earth..
When Lightfall got announced,
they told us that Tormentors are ONE of the Witness's most ancient follower's..
they are probably from Lubrae (Rhulks Homeworld) and they aren't individuals like the "Disciple-Concept" which we have been introduced to..they are a Darkness-Race of sorts,
this leads me to believe that there will probably be another Darkness-Race..
Or they go the Route where they Turn Xivu's Hive into a completely new threat.
I think Byf might be the only youtuber I have legitimately watched every single video he has ever posted to his channel.
I heard Fen and I was like:
“wait, like Fenchurch? No, what am I saying.”
And then I heard Byf say Fenchurch and I nearly fell back in my chair. I guess I’m a lore nerd now.
Tormentors definitely sounding like the "Wet Earth smelling" monsters
Something that I only realized after watching the Video:
The Triumph for claiming Veles-X is called Production Model.
And since both guns are Häkke pulse rifles with 4-round bursts, it is implied that Veles-X is a mass-produced - and most likely somewhat stripped down - Version of Revision Zero
It makes me wonder if the symbols on the Re: Zero and the Upended are Idiograms, symbols made up of smaller symbols that represent ideas to convey a certain sentence or other idea
I managed to get the solo flawless triumph on my first run of this and my god it is such an awesome mission. I much prefer the puzzle solving compared to the ad clearing. My favorite part was for sure the pressure plate room.
i rlly like the new camera view for the description of the hidden FEN-092 message, looks rlly cool
Have a good break byf🙏really been enjoying these recent lore videos, whole lot of interesting weapon lore. Keep it up tho man see you star side in 2023.
I am always suspicious of people asking me: "Would you kindly...."
Aw man, you mean we're still getting way MORE than our share of stuff from the story this season from you. Thanks Byf!
Solid mission and so far solid exotic, very curious to see it "grow"
Loving the two burst of the pulse rifle half and the sniper half might make me appreciate snipers in general (tho I'm still sticking to Glaives for special weapon)
I'm gonna go out on this limb right here 👇🏾 and say that I believe that Monster in the black Armory Lore is a Vex from the Sol Divisive. They are covered in what seems to be wet earth, because of the dirt and green leaves. And the sound of metal stretched and compressed falls right in their wheelhouse because Vex do it in combat against us all the time. The howl makes it kinds hard to 100% say it's Vex, but larger Vex do have that Mechanical Howl so it's still possible😁
I have a feeling that when we next see Taniks he's gonna be scorn and well as memey as he is he doesn't deserve that fait
No Eliksni does
watch him come back as a scorn and then create his own throne world like the mindbender and then he’ll commune with the deep and learn the power to take. Taniks will be the final shape.
@Owen G as cool as that would be
Most scorn are mindless Zombies and taniks may be strong but once you become a scorn it's like you loose everything you once were afterall look what's been happening to House Salvation
I don't think Taniks can come back as scorn because he turned into an Exo
@FuckinAntiPope
True maybe not that Taniks
But what about the Actual Taniks aka the original body
@@osiristextingstories2006 scaning the brain to turn them into an Exo completely fries the brain and kills the original body.
I would guess that even minor scorn still need their brain to function to an extend so that they body can move.
Gaurdian: breathes on the anomaly*
Rasputin: WARSAT INBOUND
Rasputin: DO NOT TOUCH THE BALL
Keep Up The Great Work!!!
I don't play it anymore, but I do still always watch your videos to keep up with the story and lore :)
Bro this weapon took so long to grind for but it was worth it because now I get to learn about the lore behind it
I've just got to say the fact that Rasputin causally smacked a guardian with a while Warsat is hilarious, like a teacher smacking a kid with a ruler 🤣
Should have had Myelin read the Fenchurch message in the most flamboyant Auss accent ever
13:11 Hold up, isn't Synthweave the same stuff Ada-1 is messing with right now?
Turns out Transmog is golden age tech.
“Please don’t punch it, don’t touch it, don’t mess with it, it is far more important than you realize” when I heard this I was laughing out loud
Something about being refreshed on Clovis communing with the witness makes me think all the times where he is ignorant of hive magic and their technologies being preposterous is acting, in an attempt to get us to undermind his understanding of the situation we are in, he could be a sleeper agent for sure lol
The fact that a guardian got bitch slapped by a satellite from Rasputin😂
"Would you kindly" haven't heard that one in a while
The word "petrichor" reminded me of the Dr Who episode written by Neil Gaiman that turned around its meaning. It'd be a stretch to imagine they're nodding in that direction, but it's an unusual enough word that this popped to mind.
This season is packed with lore!!!! I love it 😀
Another note on the K1 Artifact is that it is theorized to be able to initiate a vacuum decay
Omg I just realised, the black armoury people were probably attacked by a Tormenter (the new darkness entity announced in the Lightfall trailer).
the bit about it being polyphasic reminds me of heartshadow and how it’s shape could be changed by the wielder
Oh man that last logline in the weapon lore card... The beginning of the end
16:44 is the funniest thing I've heard from Rasputin 🤣😂
My ear perk up on “would you kindly” bioshock has ruined me
Big w from hakke
Petrichor is the smell of "first rain".
it's caused by plant oils absorbed by the soil that are released by the water, along with geosmin (a compound produced by blue-green algae,some bacteria, and a few fungi), and sometimes ozone.
The synthweave reference is really interesting ngl
My only complaint with the new quest is that it's oriented towards new lights, acting like I've never been to DSC or the Enclave, like bruh I'm the guardian that crashed the DSC and was among the first that found the Enclave. Are we experiencing a non chosen one guardian, a not our guardian story?
Petition to have Byf be the official destiny 2 lore narrator and become a member of the bungie story team
When i saw the symbol on the magazine, i immediately thought of the spinning tower things that the cabal keep jamming in the Witch Queen mission on Europa's pyramid
