The Dreadnought, Oryx's ship if you wish to know is massive. As in its length is estimated to be a minimum of 3,000 miles and a max or about 3,500 miles. Basically it's as long or longer than our moon's diameter.

It’s infinite inside since it’s his Throne world and that’s so insane the cabal really thought they could explore the ship lol oryx was letting everything happen since the people in his throne world have to abide by his rules he allows what goes

Cant see that anyone else mentioned it so I'll say that the mission in the black garden to find tevis was hunter exclusive. Titans get a mission on mercury with zavala to find a flaming hammer and unlock sunbreaker and warlocks have a mission on venus to learn to control lightning and become a stormcaller Each was a new subclass added in the expansion. Void for hunter, solar for titan and arc for warlock. All the subclasses from this expansion are in d2 too

1:02:15 You probably won't get closure since the video goes right on to Rise of Iron, but the thing from the Taken King's sword here is actually something that Eris gifts to us soon after. In fact, you see one of the three possible sword options in this video, "Razelighter", which is the flaming sword the player was using near the end.

Also for some context, supremely powerful hive such as Oryx and Crota have their own essentially pocket dimensions called throne worlds. These throne worlds act as a safeguard for ascendant hive from death, and they can only truly be killed within those throne worlds, we didn't actually kill oryx in the final mission, but we did in a raid that came a few days after taken king release

“It’s kind of fucked up we killed his son and defiled his grave” There’s honestly a non zero amount of things where we’re not exactly the good guys 🤭

@@LostEnding_ bruh do you even know why they went down into the deep in the first place? Like where you at in the story? I’m Fr asking

Never realized until now somehow but at the beginning Mara is talking to Eris, not us

btw because this, once again, isn't explained in any cutscene: Eris' rock isn't a rock, it's a piece of Ahamkara, or Wishdragon, bone, yes destiny has dragons lol, or had, they've all been wiped out before the game even starts and her saying it's whispering again is literal, ahamkara bones still hold some conscience and power and whisper to their owners every guardian can be resurrected by thir ghost, but gosts can die and if the darkness in an area is to much they also can't res you without help (the lore explanation why you need teammates to res you in boss fights and such) the significance of the card is that cayde marks things with playing cards for himself, also he got ressed the first time with a notboke that said he had a wife, who he refers to as the queen of hearts, and a son called ace cayde also very quickly became a fan favorite, so did amanda holiday also yeah cabal don't do alliances, either you join their empire and accept their rule, you get forced to, or you get destroyed, they're literally space romans, salted earth and all, to the point their legions get exiled when they take out on a war campaign and are only allowed back home if they are victorious also just because it came up the subclass names, for hunter you have bladedancer (arc), gunslinger (solar), and nightstalker (void), for warlock you have stormcaller (arc), sunsinger (solar) and voidwalker (void) and for titan you have striker (arc), sunbreaker (solar) and defender (void) though some of the names changed with destiny 2 you are worrying to much about being a little mean to the people who turned genocide into a religion terra 😂 yes he indeed did take himself, the final fight where we actually kill him is once again in the raid eris saying "my queen" is her talking to mara sov it's so funny how convinced you are eris is gonna betray us or not, I'm not saying she is or isn't but i definitely didn't think that back in the day 😂 don't know how common that theory was though

Found this channel randomly from the Baldurs Gate videos but honestly love when you upload theres something so chill and calm about your videos ❤ So glad you're learning the Destiny lore now 😄

Damn, that music when Mara and the Techeuns do their thing is awesome.

I wonder if this channel had any footage for the Raids? Not a spoiler since you should have already seen at this point; you really kill Crota for real in a raid called "Crota's End", which should be chronologically before this video. I never did it myself so I don't know how he wound up alive after the DLC campaign, but I'm sure it'd put some of the things in this video into a little bit of context, maybe. We didn't just shoot hit him up when he was trapped in a rock, we outright killed him at his strongest

This is where it starts getting really intriguing! Love these videos!

50:00 Like "Nightsalker" was to void bow hunter, "Bladedancer" is to arc(blue electricity) knife hunters. So, another sublclass :]

Taken King is peak Destiny to me. The tone, the way it expands the universe and lore, the music, everything about it is top notch. But I have some context that might help so here we go. There’s actually more to this expansion than what is shown. Like, a LOT more. Taken King was said to be a 3 act structure. Act 1 is the campaign. Act 2 was “The Taken War”, which explored the impact of Oryx’s arrival in the solar system by having two missions and an open world quest step on each planet in vanilla Destiny 1, plus an additional quest from Petra’s point of view and she copes with the loss of Mara and the entire awoken armada. Act 3 is King’s Fall, whereupon we dismantle Oryx’s court and tribute system and culminates in the raid where Oryx is killed. Yes, Oryx is the story and raid boss. There’s an entire 52 page lore book called the “Books of Sorrow” which has the entire backstory/history of Oryx and the Hive as a species. I HIGHLY recommend checking it out, it’s some great fiction. But basically, Ascendant Hive like their gods have a pocket dimension where their soul is kept, so to speak, and can only truly die when killed there. This is the same thing that happens with the Dark Below and Crota; he is truly killed in his raid.

Regarding the Heart of the Black Garden and the Blights, I’m on the same page as you. I’m pretty sure the similarities are intentional. I believe it’s likely at least one way that the Darkness manifests in a pure form instead of through an element like arc or solar. Again, I wouldn’t worry about the implications of that too much as the Darkness as a concept wasn’t solidified until much later in the series. Regarding Eris, that cutscene is definitely shot to be super sus, but it’s more of a red herring. The fragment of the sword she collects is what we use to forge swords of our own. And the Queen she is speaking to is Mara. Mara and Eris worked together offscreen between House of Wolves and Taken King to plan out how to beat Oryx. The opening cutscene of the expansion is a message from Mara to Eris. Also, Uldren, Mara’s brother did survive and subsequently goes into hiding believing his sister is not actually dead. OH, and the magic orbs Mara summoned are the Harbingers, sentient gravity super-weapon things? that she used to ambush the House of Wolves and destroy Ceres. We still don’t really know exactly what they are. I THINK those are all the big things that needed expanded on from the footage presented, but if you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them. :) Glad you’re enjoying the series so far!

This expansion is widely regarded as the best Destiny 1 expansion, and is some of the greatest content this franchise has ever seen.

that stealth mission was where the Crota's End raid took place btw! this was his throne world

0:30 That’s a Warsat. Part of Rasputin’s network. Those things hold cadeometric weaponry. 0:56 That was Eris, yes. And she’s talking about the events of The Dark Below. 2:31 Behold, Oryx, the Taken King. One of the best villains in the series. He is as hyped up as he appears. 3:38 This cinematic is an in game battle known as The Battle of Saturn. The Awoken fleet vs Oryx’s fleet. The aftermath left a permanent hole in Saturn’s ring. 5:07 Here Mara and her Techeuns are summoning the Harbingers. They are living, sentient superweapons that are immensely powerful and destructive. 6:27 Yes. She does die here. No, only most of the fleet died. 9:58 You’ll soon find out why he is called the Taken King soon enough. 10:51 Fun fact, in the language of the Cabal, they have no equivalent for the word “ghost” and no, they aren’t ghosts. They were taken and transformed by the Darkness itself. 12:09 The one talking to Oryx is called Ecthar, the Blade of Oryx. Remember him because he’s like the right hand man of Oryx. 12:23 Giving the short hand explanation. Oryx has the power to Take. It is a power he learned from slaying the Worm God Akka and communing with the Darkness. It takes the victim and robs them of their free will and is transformed by the Darkness into this new form. And they come with some scary new powers. Oryx gained this Taking power because ironically he took it for himself. 14:37 On yeah, the Taken King is the expansion that let the Guardians get new subclasses for each class. Voidstalker for Hunters, Stormcallers for Warlocks, and Sunbreakers for Titans. It was pretty cool because they could now use every element. They each have a unique quest to unlock it. For Hunters, it’s this one. Unlocking the Nightstalker’s bow. 16:03 We destroyed the Black Heart in the Black Garden. Not the Black Garden itself. 17:00 Remember that a dead Ghost is bad for a Guardian. Without them, they can’t come back. A Guardian is on their final life. 17:52 The Void and the Darkness are not the same concept. Guardians can draw power of the Void from their Light and manifest it as something powerful. 20:25 The entire Taken King expansion covers the period of Destiny called the Taken War. With it, Taken pop up everywhere. Even older content so it got revamped with a Taken coat of paint. Good way to refresh old content and not stay stale. 20:56 Yes. The Fallen are fighting the Taken. Remember they’re separate factions, not allies. 22:27 Yes. Resurrection is canon for all Guardians. The Ghost is how they do it. 23:34 Probably Cayde. It’s a Hunter thing to use cards. They represent something or someone. 1:06:03 Mara had a plan in place before she died. She always has a plan. Eris is just carrying it out.

Yes up to this point two raids have been added. Vault of glass was first from earlier video dark below. Then crota for house of wolves

Fun fact. Oryx was female before the pact with The Darkness. He is trans, essentially.

Oryx did not really die here, as others have mentioned these strong hive like Crota and Oryx have their own demi planes, throne worlds. You have to kill them there or they don't die. Raid took place on Oryx's throne world.

If you like bow's there's plenty in D2 like actual weapon , and yes the void bow is there too 🙂

You gotta watch some raid runs. Kings Fall is wonderful.

Can I really suggest if you want lore which seems to be what you enjoy- before you do/watch Witch Queen - go watch the fan masterpiece by My Name Is Byf called Dynasty. It goes in depth in Hive lore from the game presented in basicly a movie. Its 90ish mins, it honestly is probably better lore than Destiny gives you in cinematics... in a cinematic way.

Taken King raid was THE BEST. Oryx is one of the biggest baddies of all time in the game, most certainly the Hive's biggest oldest bad of all time. We are STILL dealing with the repercussions of Oryx's life and his decisions, even right this second in destiny time. This current season still effected by this character and his family, 10 years later.

Aw man i wish they added the raids into these story videos (although you might want to play some of them firsthand even if they leave loose ends in the current story) since raids are really important lorewise and are considered as the conclusions to the campaigns. Thats why Oryx's and Crota's death (or any boss' death in the expansions) in this campaign feel a little underwhelming cause the raids complete the arc.
