This video was the hardest one I have ever made, thank you for the support and I will look to make the next one even better, thank you so much and come by a stream soon :)
I remember finishing this raid with my uncle, reliving the gameplay through this video makes me hear his voice and the joy we had the first time we killed that king, we used to make theories about future content and about the darkness but sadly he passed away this year, the last raid we did was The Leviathan. Now that the darkness is coming it's sad how he could never see or get to beat their ass. I still play destiny 2 sometimes, dedicating every game I play to him. Rest in Peace Tito Chard love you and we miss you.
Ikr but I’ve not felt the same feeling with destiny 2 raids there just too easy for you when your on par with the level whilst in destiny 1 it was challenging whether or not you were higher than the light level or on par with it, it was always a little if a challenge
King’s Fall was my favorite because of the fact that oryx was too powerful to be simply shot in the face. In fact, the only way to damage him was to complete a ritual and then use that to damage him. He is an actual GOD, so yeah, guns wouldn’t work
When I first bought my ps3, the guy at the store I bought it from said to me word for word “bro, if you’re gona buy a ps3, buy it with destiny, trust me on this” at the time, taken king had just came out. I just wanted a ps3 to play cod and just wanted the guy to stop pressuring me into getting a game I didn’t want to, so I done what he said. Most fun I have ever had playing. To this day, I still remember that guy.
Oh man where did time go, I still vividly remember hopping on to this raid, meeting oryx for the first time then beating him for the first was definitely one of the most satisfying feeling I've ever felt in a video game. Good ol destiny days
Kings Fall is still my favorite Raid in Destiny. Maybe its because of the Hive theme, maybe its because it was the best time with my former clan or just the mechanics. It will always have a special place in my heart
Requiem Eye Then wtf does that make a lot of these other raids? Especially these newer ones. 😂 I’ve never heard someone call Kings Fall basic. That’s a first
@Requiem Eye once you understand the mechanics of a raid it becomes basic. Calus fight call symbol, kill stuff, more shoot stuff, stand in plate and dps.
Man Kings Fall is my absolute favorite raid. I kinda wish they bring it back with the DCV, but at the same time I don't If anything I want the light bulb warlock helmet
It would make the most sense to bring it back in the witch queen dlc. Like I'm hyped for vault since I love that raid but I'm praying kings fall comes back in witch queen. Kings fall was so awesome
@@jerules4909 yup we may also see crotas end come back the same year. This would make sense with the year's theming , as well as the fact that from a dev perspective it would most likely the easiest to bring back. This would be the fact most of the mechanics already are in d2 for example the crota fight and other mechanics.
All these raids like VOG coming back are hype, but at the same time they are going to be a joke because of Well of radiance. Well of radiance makes any ACTIVITY way too easy, because it's like you're invincible while you stand in it. I won't be surprised if bungie vaults the well of radiance or nerfs it.
@@AAce_87 I wouldnt be surprised if they did nerf it. Because they nerfed lunafactions and those made pve a complete joke. Bosses wouldnt last a second. But it's hard to nerf well in a way that wont make it not worth using over like nova bomb. There are ways to do it it would just be hard. But I agree well makes for some pretty copy and paste dps phases in destiny 2. I mean in destiny 1 usually we would just gather in the bubble but I mean now there is like no other way to dps. It's just well then spam
this raid is so nostalgic and seeing the reactions makes me think back to when i first did this raid and having generally the same reaction as a 16 year old really hits me in the chest
I can't believe vog, crota and kings fall were all in one year, but I've been back playing destiny since season of opulence and it's been almost two years and haven't felt this much content fun that was in half that time.
Your vids never fail to remind me of something obscure about Destiny's history that I had long forgotten, like the fact that ghost shells used to have light level attached to them. It's so weird to think about today.
During D1, I only ever had a 4 man team. We finally did it after months of trying to strategies with 4 players and that feeling of sending Oryx into the abyss was unmatched 💯
I came to Destiny in Destiny 2 and eventually went back to D1 and got all characters to 400 and ran all the raids. The end of King's Fall when Oryx revealed himself made King's Fall the most impressive raid in my eyes and definitely one of the best!
This man's videos are outstanding. So well produced and actaully super re-watchable with really a engaging script and structure, so much effort goes in and it shows.
The team i was with actually made it to golgoroth before their team by almost 15mibs but we couldnt figure him out so we had to wait for them to reach golgoroth and figure it out so we could do it as well. It took us quite a while after that which is why we were only top 30 but man this was such nostalgia seeing these clips that i was watching live while playing trying to compete for worlds first.
I will always have fond memories of this raid, as it really cemented the core 6 players of my clan that I play with to this day. We've even met each other outside of the game, and this raid more than any other may be the reason why we all stuck with this game for so long
My best video gaming memory of all time is playing the campaign at midnight with a fireteam of guys I was playing magic with. We did two fireteams the whole time through the campaign, and then did the raid that Saturday. Really glad Crossplay is a thing and I've started being able to play destiny 2 with some of them
The amount of time put into these videos, the editing, and the content etc, they deserve so many more views than they have. Thank you again! Fun fact, we were the first to Golgoroth, but Aussie connections, or lack there of, killed us!
I just stumbled upon this video and this brings me back to the glory days of destiny, some of my all time best moments i had on the xbox one, I miss those days
This raid and the Taken King DLC is the first thing i think about when i remember Destiny 1 and get emotional. It was a turning point for the franchise for sure
Haven't watched the video yet, but I just wanted to share my own experience with this raid. This was the first Raid I ever did in Destiny. I'm a social phobe with Asperger's, so it's hard for me to reach out to people, especially people I don't know. But when I learned about the Touch of Malice, and how fun it was, I knew I had to have it! It took me a few weeks, but I finally worked up the courage to go to DestinyLFG and look for Raid groups. It took a few tries, but I finally found a Raid group that was willing to teach me how the Raid works. Even befriended one of them. This was a big accomplishment for me, and I was rewarded with a fun weapon, and an appreciation for the Destiny Raids. It may not seem like much those reading this, but this will always be a moment I remember, and a reminder for why I love Destiny. I sincerely hope they bring back the Touch of Malice in The Witch Queen DLC. What better weapon to bring down Savathûn than a weapon powered by the heart of her own brother?
I started playing Destiny weeks after The Taken King DLC came out. I played it solo and had a good time until I reached light level somewhere around 290 or 300. I was always wondering what this Kings Fall Raid was, where you had to be 6 players and without a team searching function. After some time exploring the Dreadnaught I met a guy, he was doing this ritual thing, cannot remember the name, at the portal where you later would go into the raid. I helped him out, we had some fun with emotes and afterwards he sent me an invite to a party chat. Long story short: Me and this guy joined a clan a few days later, exploring the secrets of Destiny. I was blown away from the secret black spindle mission and completely fell in love with the game at the moment I got into the Kingsfall raid. I will never forget that feeling when Oryx rose from the depth at the final encounter. I have never experienced anything close to that in any other game. Today, many years later, I still play with the same people, only our clan name has changed. The couple that started the clan are married now and my girlfriend that bought me the game is the mother of my daughter. I have a lot of good memories that I associate with this game. This is what Destiny is for me and I really hope that Bungie will bring this raid back to D2. And I am expecting something similar from the Witch Queen DLC: Complex mechanics and long damage phases where you shoot all your munition into the boss.
Oryx was absolutely, hands down, no doubt about it the BEST raid encounter in Destiny history and possibly the most fun I've ever had playing a video game in 20 years of playing!!
I didn't start raiding until about a month before house of wolves. Vog was rough as far as finding groups to let me in so I got most of my experience from crota. But KF was the first raid I was there for on day 1. The first raid where I wasn't the only one who didn't know what to do, and the first raid I ran more than 3 times a week to master it. I'm not saying its the best raid, but the memories I have from it make it my favorite D1 raid. Thanks for this vid.
I still feel they had tips from someone at Bungie prior to the raid. I remember many saying the same thing back in the day. The publicity this raid’s world’s first got was mainly due to who completed it, the most popular Destiny content creator at the time.
When this raid came out I was so into playing the game I quit the shitty job I had at the time to grind ended up being Nineveh 7 I’m the world for highest light before the raid came out just behind giggle monster then when hard mode came out I deleted two characters a day and leveled them just to get more raid drops I believe this was an average of 20 hours a day I was dedicated
@@roberthallard89 100% agreed it's just that most people seem to forget about the fact that the starting point for the last 4 season story started at garden of salvation when we made the vex angry enough that they unleashed the vex offensive
Sorry so late, I love history videos like this. Maybe it’s nostalgia, or seeing destiny at its peak, or, yeah it nostalgia. Great job. Wish I could like it twice.
Bungie: Okay so we’re supposed to have Destiny 2 next year so this last raid has to be fantastic. ‘Kings Fall’ we’ll call it. One encounter, four bosses. It’ll be great. Kings Fall: *Is fantastic* Bungie: That’s great, now we have a great capstone for Destiny 1. Destiny 2: *Is delayed* Bungie: Well shit, how in the hell do we top that? Wrath of the Machine: ~What’s that coming over the hill~ Serious note though, Wrath of the Machine is to date my favourite Destiny raid and I cannot wait until it comes into Destiny 2 through the DCV so that I can share that experience with my friend who only got into Destiny with Forsaken.
you can always just take a break from D2 and have them play D1 with you. If they like D2 then there's no doubt they'll love D1, just gotta someone's gotta fork up about $60 fir the entire D1 experience, really wish they would either make D1 free to play, or at least cut down the price to maybe $10. Bungie owns the rights, they can do that. Or they at least SHOULD own all the rights for the Destiny franchise THEY created. one thing I will hate about the vaulting and removal of content from D2 when Beyond Light drops, is that story-wise it won't be new player friendly, as if they play through D1, you're missing 3 campaigns of story that lead INTO the present day events of D2. D1 and D2 work amazingly well when you play straight through them both with one character each and see the whole picture.
I was 14 years old when I ran this raid for the first time. Now at 22, I'm hyped for its potential return, and ready to run through it again with some of the same friends I did back in high school.
My team was pretty under leveled on day 1 (265 to 280). As best we could tell, we actually got to Warpriest pretty quickly; some streams we were watching were still behind us. Given our low light level, we actually had to do 3/0/3 in the Totems encounter, as we couldn’t kill the boomer knights fast enough to not get ganked on the totems, and whoever was putting their buff into the plate would immediately run back to their side when done. Warpriest took us HOURS though, half of that from understanding the mechanics and the other half from just trying to get enough DPS. By the time we finished Warpriest, the fastest teams were on Oryx. We ended up quitting on Golgoroth, as we figured out the mechanics pretty quickly be just didn’t have the DPS to win. Still an amazing day 1 experience even if we didn’t win.
Wrath of the Machine is still my favorite raid but Kings Fall is definitely the raid that changed the way we see them. The difficulty and scale of it was absolutely insane at the time and cannot be understated
Out of d1s raids, i think this one is the one i spent the most time in. Though i only completed it a few times (solo player so mechanic heavy activities can either be super easy or impossible depending on who finds your lfg) i do love this raid. The atmosphere was top tier, and while the weapons may not have been the top tier, god they were so beautiful. Really wish i had a compotent team back then to get those harrowed weapons
Remember running this blind first week. We killed the witches and everyone was chillin waiting for everyone to refresh and grab drinks. I like an idiot decided to walk forward and see what was up ahead beyond the cliff. That was a nice little shock.
this was my all time favorite raid, I had a hero moment with oryx just because I decided screw around. Me and 2 hunters died during the final stand, causing the last 3 teammates deciding to wipe...I figured since we were going to have to wait on the Titan bubble anyway, I self-rezed, and started to fire at him with my touch of malice. Just as he went for the field wipe (he was right at the end of the animation) his chest exploded. The rest of my team went nuts. I stared at my screen in disbelief, switched to my rocket launcher and did my usual fire at the ground in celebration
I was on deployment for most of the first year (before any DLC and came back ~ 1 or 2 month before TTK) this was the first raid I completed and is my favorite, along with the entire TTK DLC.
One thing I would change. When you mentioned how there was no big change with the hard mode for the deathsingers. There was. The change was that, after the first damage phase, it would start immediately. In normal mode, you had a couple of seconds to figure out who went where; in hard mode, you did not.
Your description of the Oryx encounter is how I felt every single time trying to sherpa people through that raid. You just could never tell the entire encounter at once. You had to do it in sections and once they had each part memorized, introduce a new one. What memories. Or team didnt have enough power. We got to Golgy and got gear checked.
Taken King Hard Mode Hero moment: Our entire team had got to final stand for oryx, but a knight had managed to kill us all within seconds, a friend popped his self res, and finished oryx off securing our first Hard Mode clear.
At the time of writing this comment; we have a touch over 2 days until Destiny 2 gets this raid. I am so excited to see how this raid translates into D2 and how the bosses hold up. Lordy…as someone who’s never played D1, I’m so excited to have this raid!!!

Just got done doing kings fall on hard mode on the xbox 360. Man I love this raid
This was nothing short of happiness lane for me. Thank you 😊
ay evan can you like, give me the link to that picture of that giant toad??
also, what are those raids you thought stand out more?
ur so wrong dude great vid tho
kings fall was my favorite expansion in any game ive played...... diablo 2 lod or Gta 4 and the dlcs come to mind but damn awesome vid man thank you
The music in this expansion will be missed dearly
Oh it’s coming back don’t worry when this Orxy Raid comes out of the Content vault!!
Missed? Heh I still play D1
Hmm well Bungo did say that we should not be afraid to ask so....
Spam their DMs and ruin their lives untill they comply and bring it back
Regicide
Yes
I remember finishing this raid with my uncle, reliving the gameplay through this video makes me hear his voice and the joy we had the first time we killed that king, we used to make theories about future content and about the darkness but sadly he passed away this year, the last raid we did was The Leviathan.

Rest in Peace Tito Chard love you and we miss you.
This was beautiful
beautiful.
rest in peace
Rip brother

The feeling of beating a boss and the whole squad screaming is literally my favorite thing about raiding In any game.
True that. Never had that feeling until I finally beat Oryx after countless attempts with randoms I found in the tower on the Xbox 360
yep you got that right bro
Ikr but I’ve not felt the same feeling with destiny 2 raids there just too easy for you when your on par with the level whilst in destiny 1 it was challenging whether or not you were higher than the light level or on par with it, it was always a little if a challenge
Nowadays everyone just slowly leaves and complains about loot
@@shadowdragon6302 fr like destiny 2 raids are as challenging as strikes
Can we talk about the dreadnaught?
It is arguably the best location in destiny history
100% agree
I don't know if I like it more or the dreaming city
@@themaddestoflads8689 True, the dreaming city is pretty amazing
I prefer dreaming city but dreadnaught is sick too
Lmfao not even close to Dreaming City
King’s Fall was my favorite because of the fact that oryx was too powerful to be simply shot in the face. In fact, the only way to damage him was to complete a ritual and then use that to damage him.
He is an actual GOD, so yeah, guns wouldn’t work
Touch of malice was great for that dps part. Was hard and fun.
Maybe they should thought back to that with Xol in d2... “hive worm god, hmm? Yeah that should be the easiest boss in the game”
edgy boi I think the Xol and Nokris fight were under done because the raid team wanted to do more Calus
Imagine kings fall with wells and rifts and all the new shit
@@nathanflinchum1153 to be fair he was the runt of the worm gods and in lore was said he was really weak
When I first bought my ps3, the guy at the store I bought it from said to me word for word “bro, if you’re gona buy a ps3, buy it with destiny, trust me on this” at the time, taken king had just came out. I just wanted a ps3 to play cod and just wanted the guy to stop pressuring me into getting a game I didn’t want to, so I done what he said. Most fun I have ever had playing. To this day, I still remember that guy.
Still my favorite raid. I like all the bosses in this one. ✅😀
They talked about bringing VoG back but if they do that I really hope they bring back Taken King and the raid back.
You commented on his crota video saying that was your favorite raid
Same
Samuel Martens lol that’s funny, Crota was the worst year 1 too.
Tom Ato still better than last wish, gos, and dsc.
Imagine a savathun raid of this scale! Still need to wait a whole year though.
And just for additional icing on the cake, King's Fall brought back for that expansion! 😁
Ok
A "Queen's Fall" Raid would be so fucking cool
Drae-J that would be fucking sick
Kroq Gar I’m calling it now: Savathun is probably going to be a giant spider.
Oh man where did time go, I still vividly remember hopping on to this raid, meeting oryx for the first time then beating him for the first was definitely one of the most satisfying feeling I've ever felt in a video game. Good ol destiny days
When you've played Destiny for 7 years yet still call awoken "blue aliens".
What's wrong with my blue alien titans
last time I was this early, people weren't one-phasing each deathsinger
That malice op asf
This raid will always hold a special place in my heart. Genuinely tear up when I think on all the fond memories I have with this raid
To to this day, you can still hear the faint echoing of the Zaouli's Bane still reloading
I loved that Hand Cannon so much
That’s why you stow it and wait instead
Kings Fall is still my favorite Raid in Destiny. Maybe its because of the Hive theme, maybe its because it was the best time with my former clan or just the mechanics. It will always have a special place in my heart
Prob my least fave D1 raid
Landon Jackson yikes imagine
Requiem Eye Then wtf does that make a lot of these other raids? Especially these newer ones. 😂 I’ve never heard someone call Kings Fall basic. That’s a first
@Requiem Eye once you understand the mechanics of a raid it becomes basic. Calus fight call symbol, kill stuff, more shoot stuff, stand in plate and dps.

Only in Kings Fall XD
Can’t be 320 in kings fall cap was 300

Real talk though, Ghost shells having power in D1 was the most infuriating shit. Literally always the last thing I needed to cap out power.

Also me: ok fair enough..

That guy was so pumped for that ghost shell lol. I remember not really caring until I got weapons or armor.
“Tether being the first real debuff in destiny to my knowledge”
Someone didn’t play warlock did they?
Viking Funeral didn't gain the debuff effect until the April update, and Sunbreaker came out at the same time as Nightstalker.
😎👉
wow i never knew this raid came out on my bday. spent countless hours doing this raid. the most fun ive ever had in destiny
Interesting how everything in Destiny "Changes everything forever" :D Love the videos though.
Generally the yearly raids did have that effect.
Garden of Salvation not so much though.
@@roberthallard89 actually garden did play quite a big role in the year 3 story
@@TwoBadYe Yeah but not to the extent that forsaken did before it.
I don't think it brought much to the table that we hadn't already seen before.
@@roberthallard89 100% agreed it's just that most people seem to forget about the fact that the starting point for the last 4 season story started at garden of salvation when we made the vex angry enough that they unleashed the vex offensive
@@TwoBadYe True, although I do remember at the time thinking it all seemed a bit disjointed.
With Forsaken it just seemed to flow a bit better for me.
Sorry so late, I love history videos like this. Maybe it’s nostalgia, or seeing destiny at its peak, or, yeah it nostalgia. Great job. Wish I could like it twice.
D2 player here. But love to see the original. Your vids are a true tribute to the frenchise. Keep on doing it. Well done.
Gotta love gothalion’s reaction
This was BY FAR my favorite raid race and still is.
I absolutely loved this raid and the music. Golgoroth is still my all time favorite destiny boss
If this raid returns in Witch Queen then I can’t wait!
I was in of one of the first 20 clans to beat Kings Fall, I loved this raid so much. Great Video
This was one of the best time's I've ever had in gaming/gaming with friends.
Oryx climbing up the wall really reminded me of Dead Space for whatever reason, and that was fun
Bungie: Okay so we’re supposed to have Destiny 2 next year so this last raid has to be fantastic. ‘Kings Fall’ we’ll call it. One encounter, four bosses. It’ll be great.
Kings Fall: *Is fantastic*
Bungie: That’s great, now we have a great capstone for Destiny 1.
Destiny 2: *Is delayed*
Bungie: Well shit, how in the hell do we top that?
Wrath of the Machine: ~What’s that coming over the hill~
Serious note though, Wrath of the Machine is to date my favourite Destiny raid and I cannot wait until it comes into Destiny 2 through the DCV so that I can share that experience with my friend who only got into Destiny with Forsaken.
you can always just take a break from D2 and have them play D1 with you. If they like D2 then there's no doubt they'll love D1, just gotta someone's gotta fork up about $60 fir the entire D1 experience, really wish they would either make D1 free to play, or at least cut down the price to maybe $10. Bungie owns the rights, they can do that. Or they at least SHOULD own all the rights for the Destiny franchise THEY created. one thing I will hate about the vaulting and removal of content from D2 when Beyond Light drops, is that story-wise it won't be new player friendly, as if they play through D1, you're missing 3 campaigns of story that lead INTO the present day events of D2. D1 and D2 work amazingly well when you play straight through them both with one character each and see the whole picture.
I was 14 years old when I ran this raid for the first time. Now at 22, I'm hyped for its potential return, and ready to run through it again with some of the same friends I did back in high school.
Bro man's and Goliaths streams had some crazy energy it set a record on twitch for most concurrent views was like 30k plus
Newbie reacting to Oryx in King’s Fall: OMG, he got so big!
*That’s what she said*
My team was pretty under leveled on day 1 (265 to 280). As best we could tell, we actually got to Warpriest pretty quickly; some streams we were watching were still behind us. Given our low light level, we actually had to do 3/0/3 in the Totems encounter, as we couldn’t kill the boomer knights fast enough to not get ganked on the totems, and whoever was putting their buff into the plate would immediately run back to their side when done. Warpriest took us HOURS though, half of that from understanding the mechanics and the other half from just trying to get enough DPS. By the time we finished Warpriest, the fastest teams were on Oryx. We ended up quitting on Golgoroth, as we figured out the mechanics pretty quickly be just didn’t have the DPS to win. Still an amazing day 1 experience even if we didn’t win.
I loved this raid and teaching people this raid. Ultimate experience
I feel like destiny was so close to becoming Anthem, luckily it never went down that road
Honestly the jumping puzzle on the ships is so nostalgic for me and i love it. Home to some really good memories
Wrath of the Machine is still my favorite raid but Kings Fall is definitely the raid that changed the way we see them. The difficulty and scale of it was absolutely insane at the time and cannot be understated
Out of d1s raids, i think this one is the one i spent the most time in. Though i only completed it a few times (solo player so mechanic heavy activities can either be super easy or impossible depending on who finds your lfg) i do love this raid. The atmosphere was top tier, and while the weapons may not have been the top tier, god they were so beautiful. Really wish i had a compotent team back then to get those harrowed weapons
Kings fall was the best experience i had in destiny, i didnt even care that i was up until 5am just running oryx when it first dropped.
Remember running this blind first week.
We killed the witches and everyone was chillin waiting for everyone to refresh and grab drinks.
I like an idiot decided to walk forward and see what was up ahead beyond the cliff.
That was a nice little shock.
this was my all time favorite raid, I had a hero moment with oryx just because I decided screw around. Me and 2 hunters died during the final stand, causing the last 3 teammates deciding to wipe...I figured since we were going to have to wait on the Titan bubble anyway, I self-rezed, and started to fire at him with my touch of malice. Just as he went for the field wipe (he was right at the end of the animation) his chest exploded. The rest of my team went nuts. I stared at my screen in disbelief, switched to my rocket launcher and did my usual fire at the ground in celebration
One thing I like more than watching videos from games I’ve never played is watching an hour-long video essay.
This raid is the best thing to ever happen to Destiny and one of the best designed features of any FPS. An unforgettable masterpiece.
This gave me so much nostalgia. i remember grinding it out on day one, must have been ~12 hours.
Taken king hype was some of my personal favorite moments and time in gaming
they look so carefree and happy and exited to be doing the raid. im tryna be like them fr
Wrath of the machine is my favorite raid personally, the atmosphere alone sold it to me
I was on deployment for most of the first year (before any DLC and came back ~ 1 or 2 month before TTK) this was the first raid I completed and is my favorite, along with the entire TTK DLC.
My favourite raid, did it 3 days after launch and it took 17 hours. Never to be topped for me.
5 years ago. Wow.
One thing I would change. When you mentioned how there was no big change with the hard mode for the deathsingers. There was.
The change was that, after the first damage phase, it would start immediately. In normal mode, you had a couple of seconds to figure out who went where; in hard mode, you did not.
Your description of the Oryx encounter is how I felt every single time trying to sherpa people through that raid. You just could never tell the entire encounter at once. You had to do it in sections and once they had each part memorized, introduce a new one. What memories.
Or team didnt have enough power. We got to Golgy and got gear checked.
Oryx reappearing alive in that end clip after his corpse was being shot at was amazing to see.
I never got to complete Kings fall cause I didn’t have a mic back then, but the parts I completed was so good, plus the music
Taken King Hard Mode Hero moment: Our entire team had got to final stand for oryx, but a knight had managed to kill us all within seconds, a friend popped his self res, and finished oryx off securing our first Hard Mode clear.
Did you just tell me this was almost 5 Years ago..... :O I remember loading into the raid for the first time...
At the time of writing this comment; we have a touch over 2 days until Destiny 2 gets this raid. I am so excited to see how this raid translates into D2 and how the bosses hold up. Lordy…as someone who’s never played D1, I’m so excited to have this raid!!!
I did this raid with my two friends all those years ago... Now we get ptsd from even thinking about the name “Oryx”.
But it was so god damn fun.
i’m new to your channel and listening to your videos almost like a podcast while playing destiny is so awesome, keep up the great entertaining videos!
