Lightning is when it does and hits the ground

flat jolt
#

Void is nothingness, strand is the connection inbetween everything. Stasis is not moving, heat is literally movement, but so is arc

ember storm
#

Void isn’t nothingness, it’s the invisible physical forces like gravity

frank barn
#

Long ago, the 5 elements lived in piece, until the solar nation attacked

frank barn
ember storm
#

Stasis is exerting your will over others and quite literally stopping all movement on an atomic level

flat jolt
#

The st- naming conventions prove a pattern and the pattern is incomplete. Rahool would love this puzzle

frank barn
#

Absolute 0

ember storm
frank barn
#

Which is

ember storm
#

Stasis is not related to actual freezing due to low temperature

frank barn
#

Makes sense

ember storm
frank barn
#

When a molecule doesnt move its at abosolute 0

#

which is cold

#

When you attack something with it the air particles also stop moving, freeze

#

Stasis sharfs

ember storm
flat jolt
#

Cold is more akin to a lack of vibration energy

ember storm
#

Stasis forces all movement including the movement of time to simply stop

#

The formation of crystals is the result

flat jolt
#

The temperature is more to a side effect

frank barn
sleek matrix
#

the only thing stasis can freeze is time and space to a stop

flat jolt
#

0 kelvin is just the coldest we achieved but isit the absolute limit?

frank barn
#

Yes

#

Thats why its 0

sleek matrix
frank barn
#

Nothing can be moving less than not moving at all

#

Cowlick’s Stasis analysis is ever-useful

flat jolt
#

Stasis is more akin to cold or cryo instead of ice which is a result of when water becomes cold

jagged badge
#

The Stasis crystals aren't water ice. Obvious enough, but I thought I'd get it out of the way. The extraordinary property of Stasis is its ability to create ordered structures from chaos—it doesn't care what kind of matter is available; it just sucks entropy out of the system until it's got a crystal.

ember storm
#

Absolute zero is just the lowest temperature theoretically possible

#

Stasis is literally the complete absence of all energy whatsoever

#

Time itself just stops

flat jolt
#

Colder than absolute zero

#

But then again i read somewhere that stasis crystal doesn’t feel cold to touch

ember storm
#

The point of paracausal power is that they go beyond established sciences and fundamental forces

jagged badge
#

Cowlick cites that as a theory

jagged badge
#

Lemme get the quote

ember storm
#

Stasis isn’t just the coldest, it actively removes everything

ember storm
#

It’s not like she was getting dietary supplements

#

It was just a complete blur on her end

jagged badge
#

(Now, I am a little disappointed to discover that the super vacuum hypothesis is out. Quantum physics says it's impossible to know the exact energy state of a volume of space, and "zero" is an exact energy state—so it's physically illegal for a volume of space to have zero energy when observed. That's why we get random virtual particles popping in out of the void; they're created and destroyed by the energy of emptiness. Some Warlocks thought that if you carried out the impossible task of sucking ALL the energy out of a volume of space-time, nulling out even the zero-point fluctuations and achieving a True Void, then you could achieve a physical regime where space and time themselves ceased to exist. Instead, you'd get a "space-time condensate," a superfluid vacuum capable of interacting with itself to generate structure. In this theory, the Stasis crystals were a cold so deep that they froze space-time itself! It had a certain elegance, but either the True Void does not exist, or it is not here attained, or I am just misinterpreting this data.)

#

I must admit I understand not a lot of the sciencey stuff here

frank barn
#

It was the witnis who let her out yeah

jagged badge
#

But just contextually, it appears that Cowlick is dismissing that theory from being fact

frank barn
#

?

jagged badge
frank barn
#

Hmmm

jagged badge
frank barn
#

So solar and arc are simple then

#

Just lighting and fire energy?

#

Wait no

#

Solar is like nuclear stuff

#

Bc sun

flat jolt
#

But osiris doesn’t have control over stasis right? Only strand?

jagged badge
#

We haven’t seen him use it, but it’s not unlike Osiris to have at least looked into it heavily

flat jolt
#

Ya cuz wiki doesn’t say he has full access of all, just the light powers and strand

jagged badge
#

Osiris is Lightless

#

His Ghost died years ago

frank barn
#

Wait so ikora uses void right? But she knows stasis and some others yes?

#

Zavala uses stasis

#

Cayde used to use solar

jagged badge
#

Ikora likely knows all the subclasses. Void is definitely her signature one though

frank barn
#

Eris and elsie are stasis

#

Wait is saint 14 still a lightbearer

#

or no

#

Osiris is strand

jagged badge
frank barn
#

If ikora can wield all classes

#

Could she use prismatic

#

?

jagged badge
#

We see him use Sentinel Shield in Echoes

frank barn
#

Oh yes

jagged badge
#

And cast Ward of Dawn in Excision

frank barn
#

Interesting

flat jolt
#

But ikora hasnt in cutscenes or gameplay use any darkness power right

frank barn
#

Zavala asked her to teach him stasis

#

After targe died

ember storm
#

She did use stasis in the excision epilogue with Zavala

#

Or was it strand

flat jolt
#

Ah, gotta go youtube that one

frank barn
#

probably stasis

ember storm
#

Either way they were using darkness together

frank barn
#

I think ikora could wield prismatic though

jagged badge
frank barn
#

She has mastery of all

jagged badge
#

We know from dialogue that Ikora taught Zavala Stasis, but we see in the cutscene that she’s using Strand

frank barn
#

Oh

#

And we can assume she knows arc and solar

#

So she litterally knows all

#

Why cant she use prismatic

ember storm
#

Prismatic isn’t just having access to the subclasses individually

#

It’s using the power of the pale heard to blend them together

frank barn
#

Its the power of the pale heart?

ember storm
#

“The line between light and dark is gone” is how Ghost described it

ember storm
#

It’s the same pink as the portal

frank barn
#

I thought it was just bridging the game between light and dark

ember storm
#

No, it’s specifically blending it together

#

Just using a light melee and a dark grenade isn’t prismatic

#

The actual transcendence power is what prismatic is

#

The pink stuff that actually mixes light and darkness directly

frank barn
#

I might be actually dumb i just assumed the pink was the average of all the subclass colors but now that i think about it no it isnt 😭

#

This is what the average of the colors would be according to chat gpt

NOOOOOOOOO

How did he die?

ember storm

Sacrificed himself to stop Eramis from using the warsat network against us

Here

#

This is where rasputin made the sacrifice

errant tapir
#

Chioma esi? Or Maya sundaresh?

#

Or is it the bray one?

slim girder
#

The other exo is her sister elsie bray

errant tapir
#

Wtf

#

Rasputin died where?

hollow hinge
#

Before Lightfall

slim girder
#

This was a while ago now

hollow hinge
#

Also Maya wasn't featured properly outside of lore and vague references until Episode Echoes

errant tapir
#

I didn't see Rasputin died in the YouTube video

hollow hinge
#

Some lore tabs, the audio logs on Neomuna and MSund12 reference in that one strike

errant tapir
#

Or am I blind?

#

Elsie got power off

hollow hinge
#

He dead

errant tapir
#

Oh

#

Wait what

#

Rasputin is inside Elsie?

#

Huh?

slim girder
#

No

#

That exo on the wall is Rasputin

#

The one ana refers to as red

#

The one she pulled the cord on

errant tapir
#

God dang it

#

U threw me off

slim girder
#

Ana is the human, Rasputin is the exo on the wall. The other exo who ana hugs is Elsie

#

Rasputin was deleted so that the warsats would be deactivated for good. So far none of Rasputins weapons can be used anymore

#

Now that he is gone

errant tapir
#

The giant black thingy that's going to shoot traveller?

#

Also isn't traveller capable of defending herself?

slim girder
#

Yes those are warsats. Rasputins orbital laser system. Eramis was going to use them against the traveler so Rasputin sacrificed himself to stop her.

slim girder

The traveler has never been a being capable of destruction. It terraforms things and uses light more to push things back rather than destroy

errant tapir
#

@trim grotto where is the list of all events of D2 again?

trim grotto
#

Alright
Do you want the "short" version or the long version

errant tapir
#

I wanna watch from shadowkeep till final sheep includes season

knotty musk
trim grotto
#

well the long version was written by a guy who studies linguistics haha

knotty musk
#

hm

#

I will take the short version and likely ask more anyway

trim grotto
#

Cassoid = Latin Language and Roman Numerals = Mos Ganon V
Nadir = Scientific Term and 3-letter alpha code (two upper case, 1 lower case, MSc) = Baryon MSc
SUROS = Music-Related Term followed by "-##" = Sonata-48
Omolon = "Abyssal or Cthonic Entity" (per Destinypedia) followed by a space, the weapon type abbreviation and a number = Jigoku SR5
Hakke = Famous Ruler or Legendary Figure followed "-[letter upper case]" typically earlier letters in the alphabet for progressing rarity = Galahad-E
Veist = Vemonous creatures followed by "-#[weapon abbreviation in lower case]" = Jararaca-3sr
Daito = Geographical Places and Cities followed by "-[weapon abbreviation, upper case]#" = Cydonia-AR2
Crux/Lomar = Royal or Noble Name followed by a space, two-letter alpha code upper case / # = Baron RS/1
Tex Mechanica = Wild West themes followed by a space, designation, space, number = Maverick Mk. 32

#

As written by Eruke as a shorthand version

errant tapir
#

There is a link to a spreadsheet that contains the information of all the events throughout Destiny 2 somewhere in this channel.

#

Where is it again?

trim grotto
#

Depends which you mean. There's a recap written by Dova in the pins. Otherwise there's a few timeline sources I can refer to.

flat jolt
#

I wish we can pin what eris wrote earlier for a simple recap summary of things since the start of lore

#

Strength in a Lightbearer's abilities isn't really measurable past a certain point. There's cases like Ana's Golden Gun leaving sunspots during Twilight Gap, and Crow-as a new light-having his knives made from Solar being described as "Crude", but in terms of a differing in power output, there isn't really a "Stronger", as far as I know.

slim girder
trim grotto
#

to be fair that same entry also critiqued the validity of such ranking

slim girder
#

True but it does still show that guardians fall into some type of power measurement even if at the end of the day it might not mean anything at all

#

Guardians do hunt for power after all so I'm not surprised that some compare themselves to others or that a ranking system even exists

errant tapir
#

The event of us stole saint from another timeline

#

Did it have any consequences?

trim grotto
#

Not really, but for two different reasons.

#

Firstly: Saint-14 would have been killed by the Martyr Mind without our intervention. In our original past, he was. The same thing would have occurred were we not involved this time.

#

Secondly: Our actions bound the timelines together. Two pasts, one future.

trim grotto
errant tapir
#

Hmm?

#

That's a frequency thingy

trim grotto
#

yes but look at the shape of it

#

Two distinct bars
that become one

I'm glad this topic came up because I've been meaning to refresh on this

jagged badge
#

There we go

errant tapir
#

Wait wait wait

#

Hold up

#

Wait a minute

#

Something ain't right

#

Why is Osiris and saint timeline different?

#

Aren't we all in the same timeline beside clone saint?

trim grotto
#

she means that the timeline we're from and the one living saint was from became one

#

the two pasts are both as true as one another

errant tapir
#

Yeah i kinda seem to accept that

errant tapir
#

But why is this different?

#

Aren't we all in the same timeline?

#

Us Osiris original saint

jagged badge
#

The Saint we saved is not from the same timeline

errant tapir
#

Ohhh

#

I think I know what u mean

jagged badge
#

Perhaps my labels are unclear

errant tapir
#

Yes

#

I thought bottom was original saint timeline

jagged badge
#

But I called the last part “Rescued Saint timeline” because the timelines merged after he was rescued

errant tapir
#

Turns out bottom is timeline after we abduct different saint

jagged badge
#

Before

errant tapir
#

Wait what

#

Okay....

#

Got it

From the one where Ancient one drew a line and branches

To explain it to Bruce Banner

jagged badge
jagged badge
errant tapir
#

yes

#

well if my logic is correct, after we abduct saint, we make another branch.

#

One where saint isn't there

#

Another timeline where alternate saint isn't there

jagged badge
#

What about our analogy wasn’t clear

errant tapir
#

at first it isn't very clear

There’s no branch off. We conjoin the timelines

This needs to be pinned too

#

Rmb there was some mad warlock woman who started killing all the stasis users condemning them as heretics then she got locked up or whatever, where is she anyway? I rmb she learned to accept the fact that darkness isnt an enemy just a fact of life.

#

Her, Aisha and Reed were in the ships the Witness just simply destroyed

#

Fortunately for her and Aisha, their Ghosts weren’t sliced like Reed’s was

flat jolt
#

The ships in the cutscenes? Those weren’t the fireteam that appears in the early days destiny trailer? I think those guys also appeared in the osiris cutscene where he simply stops time when the two fireteam was engaging the vex.

jagged badge
#

The fireteam in the trailers aren’t a canon thing, considering in said trailers, they’re taking the place of the Young Wolf in story beats

Ohh

#

I read that

#

Some weapons have origin trait

#

Hakke breach armament

#

Iirc

trim grotto
#

Yes. Any weapon produced by Häkke since... Witch Queen introduced the concept of Origin Traits.

#

Exotics aside, that is, since they already have their own unique traits and perks.

errant tapir
#

Ohhh

#

So mainly our guns are as late as witch queen?

trim grotto
#

Most folks don't really use anything older except for Exotics. It's also why guns from older raids are being reprised to be craftable and have origin traits, such as the newly reprised loot from Garden of Salvation.

The lightblade escaped during witch queen when we fought them so I wonder if it's possible he could return to the dreadnought in heresy. Would kinda of fit the heretic theme having a light bearing hive in the dreadnought.

Maybe it could be a new strike inside his old cell.

Or hell even a new dungeon since we're still supposed to get 1 more out of the 3 episodes

@trim grotto do you know if there's any lore on the whereabouts of the lightblade? Considering we're going back to the dreadnaught I think that means there's a pretty high chance they could return there.

Not that I am aware of

Did the strike yesterday and when I saw the ghost fly off it got me thinking if they could reappear somewhere

shrewd ravine
#

I read up earlier in this channel that most Vex are just workers that have tools that are capable of being used for combat and that we don’t really know what a “warrior vex” is. But now I wanna know is Atheon just another one of these worker vex or??

trim grotto
#

There is no evidence that "warrior vex" as their own subtype exist.

#

All Vex are multitaskers. Vex weaponry is as much a weapon as a tool.

#

Atheon was a Vex who ran the equivalent of an experimental science lab. It was not a soldier.

lost abyss
#

Yeah, the idea that there are Vex frames built specifically for combat, came from Calus iirc. And, he isn't very trustworthy, as he is often hyperbolic.

trim grotto
#

Indeed. It was an offhanded comment at best, and did not suggest that they actually existed - just that he was aware that Vex were not produced solely with the idea of combat in mind, and we should fear that they may one day attempt this.

#

The closest example that comes to mind was the Martyr Mind that killed Saint-14, and even that was also used to drain his Light. Despite this, it was simply a large Minotaur in chassis.

#

Why was mithraks sick?

sick yew
#

During a previous season we collected relics of Nezzy to turn them into a nice tea that could wake Osiris from his coma

Turns out meddling around with these artifacts kinda gave him the big sick

errant tapir

#

Who is nezzy?

#

Nezzy for short

#

What is his relic?

#

Just various objects that used to be in his possession

errant tapir
#

Why was Osiris in a coma in the first time?

sick yew
#

Remember when Savathun took over his body?

#

And then got imprisoned by Mara Sov and struck a deal to exorcise her worm

#

After we did that she gave Osiris back but he was in a deep coma

#

Ohh

So it did took a toll

I can show you the cutscene

#

Hang on

errant tapir

1 by this time Crow had no recollection of his former life
2 we didnt actually know that Savathun was controlling Osiris at least the characters thought Osiris just kinda pulled the traitor move during season of Splicer

trim grotto
errant tapir
#

Who is next to saint?

sick yew
#

Us lol

errant tapir
#

Oh lol

#

I didn't know

#

Okay okay I kinda know roughly the timeline

#

But some parts are missing

#

So we killed crow first then Osiris gets possessed

sick yew
#

We didnt kill Crow we killed Uldren Sov

#

At the end of Forsaken

errant tapir
#

Oh

#

After we free Osiris, nezarect just spawned and we venture root of nightmares?

sick yew
#

After Forsaken there were a bunch of seasons like Gambit, Black Forge etc.
Then there was Shadowkeep with all the stuff on the moon and Eris, then a bunch of more seasons including Vex stuff and uh Rasputin shit and so on
Then came Beyond Light on Europa and the first season after that, season of the hunt is where Crow officially entered the picture

#

The end of the golden age of humanity, when the Witness' forces first came to our solar system to grab the Traveler

Ergo sum

You sure? I thought it was the funny heavy trace

slim girder

No that's for the big bang

Ergo sum details it's thoughts on things like being sealed during the red war

sick yew
#

It was microcosm

slim girder
#

Must be both then I guess because ergo sum definitely has some more thoughts from the traveler.

sick yew
#

I didnt read Ergo sum yet gotta be honest

#

But Microcosm is basically the travelers thoughts as it teraforms mars

#

And ends when the first humans lay eyes on it right as the rain starts falling from that very first cutscene

slim girder

Def give it a read. A bit cryptic but if you know the events of destiny you should be able to recognise what's been talked about

Then in RoN Nezarec literally says a certain witch killed him and hid away the veil

civic quarry
#

so the witness went "okay what the fuck?!" and reconsidered its choice for the end of the collapse to the end of red war

#

and because witness sensed the light wave that erupted when the traveler broke free, it went "so, it wasn't dead!"

ember storm
#

I feel like the witness wouldn’t have just done nothing for an ungodly amount of centuries if it truly believed the traveler died

#

The closest thing we have for confirmation is Unveiling describing the creation of ghosts as a final argument, and the “winnower” wanting to prove it wrong

They weren’t directly linked to the witness until the black fleet became active again

It’s debatable whether or not the “Deep” Oryx communes to was even the witness

Hive were subservient to their own gods and religion first and foremost

And the traveler was “dead” to literally everyone until the end of red war, it wouldn’t have made a difference

It's purpose isn't to "kill" the traveler but to defeat it. It still needs the light from it. Not to extinguish it.

No

The station hosts this colony of corrupted fallen while they worship the anomaly and try to communicate through it.

For some unknown purpose

I think it’s cooler that they simply don’t and remain as they do

Vex are just completely removed from our understanding of culture and community

They don’t see what they do as war or combat and have literally no need for it

Possibly terrifying possibility is that vex have no combat units because they don't need any

And like? If warriors hex DID exist

Why would they never make an appearance at all so far

Everything we’ve done with vex in the past few years would’ve been the perfect scenario for them to deploy their “best combat units”

#

And no, wyverns aren’t combat units

blazing wasp

Probably

#

Their weapons are derived from thermal lances to further the tool referencing, and all wyvern bosses are in the same general management position that hydras and Minotaurs are in

Now that I think of it, it would make sense that vex don't really have units specifically designed for combat, they mostly just turn other things into vex anyway and this would need more in terms of terraforming and such

Units specialized for combat would be a waste of resources in that case. Probably

Not like non-paracausal entities stand a chance against them anyway

# next bobcat What, with the shield wings and powerful weapons?

"weapons" isn't really the term. Vex gear has often been described as more like worker tools. A goblins slap rifle is more like a tig welder or key than a weapon. And who's to say they don't see their explosive ordnance as just means to break down resources

#

Vex don't have weapons in the traditional sense. Everything is a tool.

#

Wyverns are the closest we have seen to combat vex but we have no confirmation that's actually what they're for.

Hydras seem to be the equivalent to "bosses" with shields just being for protection. Like I could imagine having a hydra come on and start firing on a site to break down a planet

Like an excavator

hmm i se

#

do things like atheon have a category name or are they just a type of minotaur

slim girder
#

No vex really has a category. Frames are built for specific tasks but they do have base blueprints so they'll take on a familiar shape depending on what they're needed for.
So yeah Atheon could just be a minotaur or something like the Templar is a hydra. It's all about what's the most efficient

oak bough
#

i see so all ‘types’ of vex are tools apart from some that are guardians of sorts

#

Vex don't attack us because they hate us or anything it's more like trying to get rid of a weed. They aren't capable of that sort of thought. They just see something that's not supposed to be there and they want to remove it

#

Guardians and paracausal forces are a threat to their future so they seek to find anything that can remove it. Not out of hatred but just because it's not part of what they envision

since it seems like they took the same route we did in GoS

only difference is that there were some threats they did not encounter

while they had to deal with tethers and angelics, there were no mention of the Sol Inherent

We have yet to see that. And also something to note is destiny wasn't called the light and darkness saga until witch queen. So no clue what this new saga might be called or what it'll entail. Vespers host and heresy are supposed to be our first look at the future but things probably won't be clear until Apollo arrives.

The Vex are, so far, simply curious. But Vex curiosity always leads to Vex transformation [...]

The Vex will not rest until every star has been crushed into a black hole and every newborn cosmos filled with more Vex. And in the unending array of their enslaved cosmos, they will simulate all possible pasts, and fill those with Vex, so that all things that have ever lived or might ever live will experience infestation and consumption and torment by the silica nightmare.

And in those devoured simulations, the simulated Vex will use our flesh as hosts for yet more nested universes full of yet more nested copies of us eternally tormented by yet more Vex.

An infinite regression of pain and madness inflicted upon every possible version of us in every possible world. Not because they hate us, or fear us, or want to punish us. But because they are indifferent and curious, and they will do every possible thing to us in every possible way.```

Sort of. That tomb of respect was discarded into a data vault of trash data in some Nessus archive once Saint-14 returned to life via the Sundial, for it was no longer our history.

# uneven mulch what does paracausal even mean?

To clarify further, think of it this way:
Cause, logical physics, effect - Causal. This is how we live our day to day lives.
Cause, unknown connection, effect - paracausal. As an example, the fact that we can command a Solar flame is consistent, and not necessarily illogical, but it clearly isn't physics.
Effect, no cause - Acausal

though you did say the sound effects were akin to Aeon Maul

#

maybe a different firing mode?

#

or most likely an oversight

#

bungie did it before in the Red War campaign cutscene where the guardians and the farm take back the city

#

its where the centurion fires it's bronto cannon at them but they dont explode

#

so perhaps thats just how bungie does cutscenes to save on special effects or to not make cutscenes too chaotic

#

because an aeon maul would just be constant explosions

#

wait nvm

#

so upon impact, the torch hammer splits your subatomic particles into multiple particles

#

so I'd imagine this would be good against armor or something

That's what radiation is

Atoms being broken down and them releasing dangerous energy

#

When ghosts first began bringing people back some used their light to enslave people and small settlements and were known as warlords. The iron lords came together and vowed to protect humanity from them.

#

Just as humanity was trying to rebuild itself

#

ohhh

#

saladin is an iron lord?

#

iron banner

slim girder
#

Yes. He and lady efrideet are the only iron lords left now. The rest died to the expedition to secure Siva from Rasputin.

uneven mulch
#

is rasputin evil?

slim girder
#

No. But he will protect himself from intruders. He guarded humanity on his own terms and refused to be treated like a weapon that could be used.
Rasputin isn't with us anymore though as he sacrificed himself to stop Eramis using the warsats to attack the traveler

oh

The Hive God of War moves to seize control Rasputin’s network of weaponized satellites. In her hands, she would turn its devastating power on the Last City. To stop her, the Vanguard has authorized special covert operations armed with the Warmind’s most advanced weaponry. Agents conducting these operations are known as Seraphs.
