Oyrx implied it himself with kingsfall. If you aren't fighting for your life, you aren't fighting at full potential and it shows with Rhulks last stand. He sees you as worthy.

@Catalyst375

No. Guardians wield paracausal power, and Ghosts are AI that channel the Light, but they are still very much affected by physical phenomena. This would include the likes of SIVA, and extend to the ontological weaponry of the Vault of Glass, with the Vault representing the pinnacle of what causal physics can achieve within the Vex domains. On the other hand, all it took was Kabr infusing the Aegis, a construct he made with Vex technology, with his own Light to create a relic that could break the Vex's power within the Vault, and shield Guardians from the Vault's power. Being able to kill a Guardian shouldn't warrant a made-up "hyper-causal" classification or the like; each race has been shown to permanently kill Guardians and their Ghosts without such advanced technology. The Hive are simply the ones that operated on the closest level due to their magic, while the others have utilized massive amounts of firepower to attain the result of killing Ghosts and permanently killing Guardians. We might have paracausal power, but we never were invincible.

If memory serves, Byf was taking off points in this video for being “just causal,” despite having immense power we barely defeated. As for my idea, Siva is hyper-causal because it can completely negate paracausal forces through sheer, overwhelming causality, in a way no mere bullet could. At least, that was my understanding regarding Sundance. I’m not sure if we still keep to that standard for what can kill a Ghost, given we pop them like bubbles these days.

I always felt like the Vex were something that were made weaker to actually make it something that can be fought against. I feel like the capabilities that were given to them lore-wise would have made them utterly unstoppable in a technical sense. Like they have the opposite of plot armor, like a plot weakness. Or, even more terrifying, that they simply let guardians THINK that they were beatable to give false confidence. Maybe they choose to let the Light live to give opposition to the other forces of darkness, which they despise.

Honestly kind of want to see that video ranking power for all the non-final encounter bosses. Yeah, it's fun to talk about the big boys, but I think there's an equally interesting debate about the weaker bosses specifically because they aren't so far above everything else, and in a hypothetical battle royale, there's a lot more ways things could play out. Deathsinger has a lot of power, but is too much of a glass cannon to get anywhere, especially when you have other hive involved who will know to target them before the song finishes. The Psionic War Beasts from the Leviathan Pleasure Gardens could be a real sleeper pick, considering how little we know about psionic powers. They could potentially hard counter paracausal bosses like the Techeuns or Daughters of Oryx by overwhelming their minds, preventing them from using their abilities. Maybe. Again, very unclear how psionic powers actually work. Warpriest is pretty tough, but dies when he gets distracted dealing with the Gatekeepers from VoG, and doesn't notice the the flaming servitor from the sparrow section of Scourge of the Past barreling towards him at top speed. Golgoroth and Morgeth are basically the same dude. Golgoroth tries to kill Morgeth, but he looks into his face and they share a moment of understanding. Golgoroth cannot bear to kill the only other one who knows what it's like being the mediocre mid-boss of the raid. The Caretaker from Vow looks on from the distance. He knows this pain all too well, and wants to go hang out with them, but two of Atraks-1's replications keep stunning him when he tries to do anything. In a particularly shocking upset, the past, present, and future Gatekeepers from VoG all die to the WotM Siege Engine. Gahlran's Illusions attempt to kill the harpy from GoS, but keep getting into arguments about messing up the tethers. All three, and the harpy, are also eventually killed by the Siege Engine, which at this point has been commandeered by non-abomination Taniks, who was only allowed in on a technicality of having a different title during DSC Descent, and thus not being the same boss as he is in the final encounter. Vosik is eliminated after he accidentally gets himself locked in the Last Wish Vault. Atraks-1 survives to at least the final few by hanging out in the leviathan Gauntlet while her replications do all the work.

Something I can't help but wonder about are the implications that the Witness favor Nezarec more than Rhulk despite the Latter's powers and feat. The witness had been known to be willing to save a life in exchange for more lives to be ended. Rhulk is proof of that. Now take into consideration everything that happened in the Season of the Haunted. Despite Calus being at the core of it, the main problem at that time are the Nightmares formed through the "defense mechanism" of the Lunar Pyramid. We haven't even seen the extent of what can Nezarec and its Pyramid can do. Nezarec is even referred to as an "End" and seem to possess the same transcendence to death that Ahamkaras posses. With Delicate Tomb implying Nezarec's consciousness is within the relics similar to how Ahamkaras are with their bones. All this lore about Nezarec possibly returning and the Witness trying to make Calus fuse with the Lunar Pyramid, Nezarec's Pyramid. Makes me wonder if the Witness' plan is to use Calus as some sort of vessel for Nezarec's return. The witness is known to use deception (like what it did to the Hive) maybe, it didn't tell Calus the full truth. Calus will indeed be the last, but not as "Calus" he will be "Nezarec".

I'd love to see a tier list ranking the power of different guardians we've seen and heard of from the lore. People like Saint-14 and Osiris were once only names back in Destiny 1, but are now characters we've seen and had extensive lore on in Destiny 2. I'd love to see a comparison with them, Eris, the vanguard, Shaxx, and maybe people like Eris' fireteam who were defeated by Crota or Praedith. Loved the video, can't wait to see more!

I agree with Riven in S tier. In Truth to Power, there is a description of the ahamkara’s power, relating it to the darkness and the anthem anathema, converting desire to reality. In the hidden dossier it even confirms this is a good description. The ahamkara literally evolved to take advantage of the latent dark paracausal principles of the universe. Crazy.

Awesome video, I would love more tier lists like one with all the other raid bosses or the dungeon bosses!

Great list! Would love to see this applied to other things like named Guardians or story bosses

Additionally, we have to consider the fact that in most of the raids, we are fighting the bosses on their own turf, or that there are extenuating circumstances that are making the boss more of a threat than of we were fighting them on more even ground (what made Insurrection Prime such a threat was that it was smack dab in the middle of the Last City).

Great video! Would absolutely love more tier lists or power scaling in the Destiny universe. Maybe one for dungeon or even strike bosses?😂

A raid encounter-boss or strike boss tier list would be fun. Love the content, keep up the good work!

Enjoy your break big man, you deserve it!

You should do a ranking of all major bosses throughout campaigns, dungeons, and raids. It would be really interesting. Probably just add to this list or something

love this. You should do more tier list with lore in mind of course. Because it really shows the feats of Guardian's and how strong Guardian's truly are to people. How they defeated these enemies of humanity/ Sol system and more. People seriously downplay these guys. All in All Great video as always Byf.

This was a really fun video, i think it would be interesting to do this not only for other raid bosses, but maybe also strike bosses as well

I normally just listen to byf’s videos while I work, but this time for some reason i got my phone out and saw the “top tier use of super” part 😂😂 LOVE IT!!!

Honestly, and I know this is a HUGE ask, I'd love to see a ranking of the in-game stories. Very interested in hearing your thoughts and reasoning of everything from D1 Vanilla to Season of Plunder.

Btw Byf, Established titles has been confirmed to be a scam. They dont actually plant trees, and there is no such thing as owning 1-foot land in Scotland.

We love having you bro, you been helping me with sleep problems ❤

I loved this so much. I would love to see all the other bosses as well.

Bungie should definitely add the Cerberus Vae III strike back into the game, all because of the fact that whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold

Though it is true Rhulk posseses the most raw strength of all raid bosses, raw strength is not always enough to win as proven by his defeat at our hands. He underestimated his opponents leaving himself wideopen for unexpected attacks. If he was to go against Riven, she could easily turn all his paracausal strength against him after he wished to defeat her. With self-righteous state of mind that Rhulk he's left vulnerable to cleverness of his enemies

i dont know if that would be necessarily the case for why riven could potentially beat him. it takes a presupposition that he underestimates everything equally and for the same reason, to believe that someone like riven would win through similar means. i personally think that part of his underestimation of the guardians was due to a bigotry against the light, less so that he thought he was simply too powerful. i draw this conclusion from two points: the time he captured a ghost for study, and his fanaticism of the Witness. to point one, it seems to suggest that he lacks knowledge of the light and what it can do, which is also shown by the effectiveness of the light curse against his pyramid ship, thus his goal was experimentation, until the traveler detonated the ghost. to the second point, he sets the Witness far above everything else in his mind, to Rhulk, the Witness is the most powerful and by extension the powers he has obtained through him would be unmatched. to further why i dont think Rhulk would approach this fight the same way, it would be rather safe to assume Rhulk has encountered ahamkara before, and if the theory that the wyrm gods are ahamkara is be believed, then he even enslaved some. i come to this conclusion through probability, Rhulk predates the hive, which are said to be billions of years old, thus he has a fair estimate of billions of years, and in that time due to his paracausal "weight", i think ahamkara would seek him out, and if not id imagine that Rhulk would have at the very least heard about them and thought to use them in bringing about the final shape. also lets not forget that Rhulk made the hive, so it would stand to reason he was observing around the time Xivu "allegedly" encountered them in the books of sorrow

Epic as usual. Best ride home from work I’ve had all year 🎉

I would love to see more of these tier list videos!

At points like this it's a reminder that having just one pyramid ship to call his own was a major feat by itself and to face the witness with potentially hundreds or thousands of them or perhaps even more is insane

I’d love to see other bosses ranked based on this criteria. Strike bosses, dungeon bosses, or even lesser raid bosses. You could even do a list of deceased guardians; that might be interesting.

I would ADORE a video about the in-between raid bosses, cause some of them are fricken awesome! (and perhaps maybe a raid boss soundtrack tierlist?)

This tier list is awesome given the context of the lore and I agree with every decision you made.

I would love to see a tier list of famous guardians in lore along with the vanguard and other known guardians.

Regarding Atheon, lore and the description of the void and stasis in the game’s tabs suggest that Stasis and the Void can be used to manipulate time and space. Elizabeth, at one point in the dark future, used a dusk field grenade to suspend her bed and other items in frozen time when Ana sought her out to defeat Eris and Savathun. It also makes sense that Ikora is Warlock Vanguard, as a master of the Void, she can shift through dimensions, affect gravity, and distort space and time. Causing destruction across the battlefield, or subvert the laws of physics and time.

Agreed you did great ranking this

Can't wait to see where Nezerac ranks on here

would be nice to see a tier list of the power of individual guardians by lore, but it's understandably difficult to do, given that there are not many descriptions or displays of their prowess, only their fame

3 months later and I can confirm Calus is weak man got 1 manned and used by the witness and nothing but filler.

Awesome video

Just a heads up the title stuff is a scam, look it up, they haven't even bought one tree

Different lore content like this is awesome

Especially since you decided to randomly throw in Skolas I definitely think this vid should have been a Campaign Big Bad's + Raid Bosses ranking. Sometimes they overlap anyways(Oryx was the main enemy in the main campaign for Taken King) and Ghaul, Eramis , Savathun and Fikrul all pose/posed as big or bigger threats than a lot on this list.

I have a feeling that if Oryx ever did find out about the existence of Rhulk, he probably would be fucking livid. Because he truly believed that he was the closest connection to the darkness and yet Rhulk is the first disciple of the Witness and literally made the Hive for shits and giggles to see if they could actually be of use for the goals of reaching the Final Shape. Knowing him he would probably rant a bit in a book of sorrow verse if he had learned of his existence, and then probably go after weaker disciples of the Witness and then finally face Rhulk to try to prove that only he should deserve to be that close to darkness. The only question though is whether the Witness or Rhulk would directly intervene if they see that their disciples are dying one by one from their experiment that is the hive?

The Val was outfitted with the best gear and supported by the remaining most powerful ships of the Legion's fleet, although that clearly still wasnt enough

I hope bungie will eventually actually start treating the vex as a massive threat again as for a while it’s always them being cucked by almost every faction .

Its more likely that savathun may not become a raid because of her motives. Her goal is to protect the traveller from the witness and that aligns with our goals as well, we're trying to protect the last city and the traveller. The moment we lose the traveller is the moment our light is gone and we become defenseless. So its more likely savathun would become an ally rather than an enemy because it doesn't make sense for her to still fight us, hell to be fair we technically forced her hand since we didn't realise her motives. She's not evil as most people think, her actions are actually pretty noble, she wanted to put the traveller in her throne world to keep it safe and she even trapped rkulk's ship inside preventing him from attacking earth. Not only that, she kept her promise to free osiris, she never killed him, merely she used him so she could gain knowledge on the light. She doesn't care about humanity, she only cares about the traveller but her actions are the reason humanity is even alive to begin with. So if she does come back, one things for sure, she'll do everything in her power to protect the traveller and she is smart so she'll make the right choices in mind as well, if she doesn't align with us then it disregards everything we've known about her so far. She's a master of deception and manipulation but again, she's not evil.

@HorrorPleb you've been manipulated by the manipulator. Savathun is evil and selfish. The only reason she's helping the traveler now is that she realized rebirth was the ticket to getting out of her pact with the worms. It's why she took an interest in Nokris and his necromancy and accepted him into her group. She didn't suddenly have a change of heart. Although, after we showed her the lies of the worms, she may genuinely side with us on her next rez

for those who dont know yet, establish titels is a scam. they changed their narrative from "call yourself legally lord" to "it's a fun joke present" after it got out.

May I please have a tier list for the power of the encounters leading up to raid bosses? I know it’s a huge endeavor for you and your team, but… I think it warrants diving into. The lore behind the encounters that guide our way is just as important, if not more so, than the lore behind the actual raid bosses. Love the content, keep it up! Byf and Team, respect.

Even though Val Ca'uor is F tier, his design to me is S tier. I love the very bulky and heavy armor he is wearing that is both reminiscent of W40k Space Marines and also being very roman-isque, the cabal magma launcher he has and the huge magmapack. since the first time I did Spire of Stars I have always wished for a titan armor set that is based on him. also even lore wise, whilst he is nothing but a Val, I always loved the fact that he took command of the remnants of the red legion fleet and mounted a raid on the Leviathan before even being promoted to a Valus.

I feel like ultimate victory for the guardians is kind of a foregone conclusion. If Rhulk is that immensely strong and the guardians can just waltz into his pyramid and literally kill him at first sight, what honestly can stop them? To be fair though, the guardians have had to take power from other beings in the form of weaponry, but I think the point still stands. Guardians are the apex predators of the universe until something can prove otherwise.

Easy answer for me. I would love a tier list of the story/lore of every destiny release, seasons included. Since it’s contents haven’t been touched in a long time, I’d love to see how the story and lore of a season like SOT Drifter line up to other seasons. Obviously that season had a lackluster gameplay loop, but it was the first comprehensive info we got into what the Nine are and the Ecdysis lore book about Orin trumps every other Destiny 2 lore book for me. Compared to season everyone (myself included) love, I think this season’s lore could surprise, and I’d love to see how you think every Destiny release’s stories weight up against each other

Warframe lore vids when? Nothing about Angels of the Zariman? Veilbreaker? Duviri?

Important thing to keep in mind regarding the lore of House Light: they, like us, seem to have less reverence and dependence on the Traveler. Do they still respect it, as “the Great Machine”? Yes. But they’re faithful saying is: “the Light provides”. Just as the Guardians status que has changed, Mithraks created a new House that follows a new set of rules, built on a foundation of pacifism, compassion, and a religious relationship to the Light itself, not directly the Travaler. As for us Guardians, the definition of our mission has changed: protecting humanity, but now we are Guardians of Sol itself, and our allies of the Coalition. Our faith in the Traveler has waned to disappearing, as even Zavala seems to have accepted the grey outlook we and those of the Dark Vanguard have adopted. We are no longer defenders of the Traveler, but of the Light, like House Light, humanity, Sol, and our allies. Just an interesting parallel. Symbolically, the Light represents, rebirth, hope, but blindness to reality’s and morality’s objective truths. While the Darkness represents memory, holding onto emotions, survival of the fittest and your will being connected through that consciences of those that share you’re ideals of the Final Shape. Finding balance between, as some Guardians have may symbolize the true grey outlook of real clarity. Instead of the bias of either ideology, perhaps symmetry of both can help us for clarity. Characters like Mara, and the Dark Vanguard came to this revelation long before us it seems.

This is perhaps one of your best works in regards to Destiny 2

would be cool to see the other bosses ranked too :)
