I’d always assumed it was because 1: the Hive don’t really save each other since they ought to prove their right to exist and 2: Even with FTL travel it takes time for the Dreadnaught to arrive. It didn’t arrive until AFTER the House of Wolves expansion, so that’s some time apart.

I never questioned why Oryx didn't help Crota. Why would he think he needed to? Crota had fought a thousand Guardians and not only won but he beat them so badly they banned all other attempts at fighting him. If 6 Guardians went against him after that then there's no reason they would be perceived as a real threat. At least not until it was too late.

Imagine how un winnable an oryx and crota fight would be, oryx with his army, throne world and darkness control. and crota with his oversoul and ‘presence of crota’ (meaning no health regen) just the clusterfuck of the oryx arena with crota running about one shotting people too (he one shot anyone if direct contact was made in D1 so I’m counting that as the canon version)

Oryx never helped his son because he was below light level to carry through the next expansion

I think what is interesting is we now know that Xivu is somewhat reacting and attacking us out of vengeance. Does this mean that everytime she attacks us or kills out of vengeance for her brother, she is tithing to Eris and making her stronger?

@aztumtheknightofwumbo7060

11 ай бұрын

Yes. This means she is now inadvertantly helping us kill her. She can't seek vengeance since she no longer benefits entirely from it. That tribute now scales to Eris. Eris is now a reactionary type of God. The more you seek to kill her, the more you seek retribution and vengeance, the more powerful she becomes.

One thought that I had is that revenge for killing Crota and Oryx is a bad motivation for Xivu Arath, because the way that the Hive should see it is that "guardians are more suited to the final shape than Crota and Oryx, therefore I should keen myself against their blades", but now that Eris is the Hive god of Vengeance, Xivu's revenge rampage tithes to Eris.

@miniverse2002

My first ever Day 1 raid! We didn’t even beat Crota on Normal mode, but I’ve never had so much fun playing Destiny!

Good video, that was an interesting connection to make between Crota’s death and the recent releases dialogue between Xivu and Savathun. Semi related: you NEED to do a lore deep dive video on the lore tab of the D2 Necrochasm. It connects together Cocytus, Crota, the Weapons of Sorrow, the Hive weaponsmith Enkaar, the Anointed, and Cursed Thralls, and drops some massive bombshells while also raising equally big questions.

I can’t help thinking of what a twist it would be, if Eris not only killed Xivu Arath, but turned around and took the information from Savathun by force, via Strand and Deepsight, after the Witch Queen refuses. Only to nearly kill Savathun, before she escapes in fear. I do have to say, the raid on the Hellmouth would’ve been a much more different story if Oryx had been there.

I love the fallout ad spoof😂

Im not sure I agree with the context of the tributes as to why Oryx came for us after crota. My understanding is that their morphs are related to the archetypes of king, witch and general. If I'm looking at it in the context I would in a novel, the king would kill his sons murderers the same way he would kill his daughters' murderers. Not for a tithe but for the disrespect and the potential threat to his position. Banished or not, crota was in a sense a prince.

I think that audio recording was more of Savathun insulting her more successful brother one last time. Because Oryx knew his place in the universe, he knew his place in sword logic. Oryx knew that, inevitably, one day, he will meet someone or something much stronger than him and will kill him, he knew and accepted this. Albeit still finding a way to co-exist with his killer giving both his killer and himself power

@miniverse2002

Good watch after my challange clear, thank you lore dad

Really nice to add the Dinasty clips there

The way it sounds to me is that, through his exile, Crota proved his worth to his father. I imagine it would have taken a long time and many, many tithes but in that time Crota would have grown in both strength and knowledge probably to the point where Oryx ended Crotas banishment. I don't think Oryx would have asked him to come back though, with the way the hive work my guess is that Oryx ended the banishment but encouraged Crota to keep doing what he was doing because it was working for him (at the time anyway).

@miniverse2002

I'm guessing the only way Crota could ever consider returning was if he served up the Traveler on a plate. He certainly was in a position to do so but well, he couldn't get past the last obstacle.

Crota & Oryx Runs w/ my old guild were simultaneously the most fun, but also the most infuriating. Because, idk if any of the raid has been patched or changed since the first 3 months of release, but I remember on the hardest difficulty possible if you weren’t cheesing things, and ONE fireteam member wasn’t almost flawless with their aim & rotation speeds, you were wiping. It simply wasn’t getting done.

Ahhh. Something nice to watch while I enjoy food. Utter bliss

I love the idea of the vex just rocking up to their throne world and being like “hey, nice swords, like our guns?”

So oryx’s children had a house party while he was away and it nearly destroyed their home.

Best ad read since Cinema Therapy

1:11 I’ve heard of that before, maybe this could be the start of a video on xur

Always wondered this! Pretty cool.

🤔 So wouldn't this make Oryx like the Goku of the hive? Granted Goku would have planted our raid banner for us but you get the idea.

The impression of fallout🤣

"While he wrestled with his worm"...

Loved the Fallout reference with the sponsor hahahaha

Captain Baronkell? Also, very cheeky. :-D

Can't believe I'm only just putting these two points together: 1) Quria made some vex believe in worship to empower the vex assault in Oyrx's throne world. 2) The Sol Divisive vex of the Black garden worship the witness. So could the reason the Sol Divisive do this is because they that vex priest hood, they would have continued on their last command after Quria was Taken and might explain why they are so old.

😂 thanks for reminding me of these, cracks me up to imagine the kids screwing up big time while daddy Oryx is away.

Are these animations by you? I need a whole series for lore that would be so f****** dope

This is beautiful lore. What got me / us hooked

I mean that's a really simple question, they follow the sword logic so clearly if crota was strong enough to be deserving of existence he could've beaten the guardians, even if oryx had been closer or whatever he prolly still wouldn't have intervened, this is the guy who threw crota through a vex portal as punishment after all

Really funny how that first entry is just the hive equivalent of the trope of the nerdy scientist character saying a bunch of science technobabble, and the hero responding with "in English please"

Your videos always satisfy a part of my brain that I also keep godroll freakouts in. It is fantastic that you can take even more lore we've obtained and make such a great video out of something you covered years prior.

Oryx responded to the whole situation like middle management. 'Why am I getting calls from corporate about problems with a branch manager? Handle your house.'

I thought it was as simple as Oryx wasn't there. But I guess with all the retcons there's probably some way to communicate/intervene instantly regardless of distance.

Imagine we bring back savathun and she corrupts eris gaining her as a ally, forcing us to bring back toland from the throne world to help us with his arcane hive knowledge to bring eris back and put a end to savathun

1:11 hey I have heard that before 😂

"Our assault proceeded unimpeded." The coolest thing you've ever said.

So I think the themeing with the Hive honestly is the idea of subbersion. We learned in Taken King the Hive began as short lived people who wanted more, very sympathetic. But then we learned they were tricked and whatever agency they have is slightly skewed now. Effectively forced to become genocide machines. But one theory has popped up in my brain recently, which is, what if the Hive don’t hate us because they hate us. What if they hate us because thats the only way they can cope with their new existence. If we were the Hive that’d be a miserable existence but we’d be compelled to push forward regardless. So might as well go all in. Still we see clear indications of the Hive having more complex emotions. Oryx despaired over his sons death in a way that I think was more than just concern for his own survival. Aluk Hul wanted to betray Oryx for the love of another. Literally everything going on with Savathung. And especially Xivu having a mental breakdown over the failure of the sword logic. Alot of the Hive seem to be shaken by Hive using the light. I think this begs the question if redemption is a possibility. People have talked about having buddy Hive Guardians but really, if the Hive get resurrected doesn’t that mean they have a clean slate? Aluk Hul was a monster but resurrected does he know that? They’re all defined by actions they do now more than ever I genuinely hope we can see some redemption here.

I think some of the reason Crota built places dedicated to Oryx might have been for two reasons. Firstly to remind everyone he defeats and those in his brood that Oryx is the reason that he fights he fights to earn his fathers respect and so too should they. And secondly as a way for Oryx to keep in check the power of his son. Going by the reasons Toland states for Oryx invaiding the sol system its possible Oryx might have beleived that Crota could become more powerful than him or was close enough to power. And as such he stationed his own people to keep watch over his son. Its also possibly the reason he was able to respond so quickly to his death because he was given the information close to if not during the guardians successful assault on Crota.

Hey Byf, I was wondering if you or anyone else has already made a video on the full Ahamkara hunts? I’ve always heard a lot (in terms of the bone that Eris carries around) but I haven’t seen a full start and trigger of the hunts to the end of the ahamkara species done. If there is a video, anyone got a link? Always been fascinated by them and the wiki is… not as useful as I’d want.

I once wrote a more comedic take on several verses of the books of sorrow and I played Crota up as a teenager who wanted to show his dad he was worthy...but he was more horn then head and tended to act first and think later.

Thats why I think Bungie not bringing back Oryx before FS, is a huge wasted oppertunity , if a ghost chose him, he would be forced to stare the truth in the eye, he was proven not to be the most powerful, but he lives , from the Travelers mercy , then revenge would start to be more important to him , especially for the lie he and his sisters was told at the begunning,and whom whispered it, he would be gunning for Megamind also Wouldn't that be a wierd message when you logged in "Travel To The Helm And Discuss The Plan With Oryx"

Wait, if Crita was in the Vex network, does that mean he showed up on the moon from that vex gate near the scarlet keep? Y'know before shadowkeep?

I wad wondering if there was any guardian in Destiny that made a feature in their suit that would incinerate or just blow up their body when they die.

Side note: try using Solar Holster with Parasite. It makes it much more fun to use.
