Enters the brightest room in this dungeon
Xol: *T h e r e i s n o l i g h t h e r e*
Hey man, He’s dead he doesn’t have eyes anymy
YOU.
SHALL.
DRIFT.
THERE IS NO LIGHT HERE.
BITCH SIT THE FUCK DOWN
Xx OGGumby07 Tokyo Drift starts playing.
Initial D Intensifies
YOU SHALL DROWN IN THE DEEP (My personal favorite)
"YOU SHALL DRIFT"
*PULLS OUT SPARROW*
"ok"
CABAL AGAIN?
THAT BLASTED, ROCK SHAKING, EARTH SHATTERING MACHINERY
AS LONG AS YOU CAN TAKE IT FAR, FAR AWAY FROM ME
GUESS WHAT ASHER, WE DID IT
CAUSED PANDEMONIUM AMONG THE CABAL? DETONATED VEHICLES? PULVERIZED A COMMANDER?
Peyton Snyder How did you know?
THE UNBEARABLE RACKET! MY. HEAD!
I don't know what troubles me more, Xol still living or the choice to convince people to help me in the mission/ try solo it
Oisin Lynch you on Xbox
Oisin Lynch I don't know what troubles me more the fact that you can one plat calus with WoW or that you can 1 shot body shot in crucible on a warlock with WoW
The thing that i think is funny is that you can kill xol using xol (wow)
Jay Tay gaming and more If you’re on Xbox do you think you could help me?
Dude you should post your platform, there’s a lot of people who might want to add you.
*looks at the whisper* ... We are wielding a god...
The overall damage output seems to concur, my catalyst is only at 36% in 2 weeks we’ll see its full potential...
No, we have become the god
Sköll Utgard we are the slayers of gods
Sköll Utgard we have to become legend. Literally says it on the back of the box. Also this game is called destiny, so we will probably be making our own. I wanna become the new god of the darkness
We are the new gods
Those two black spindle ornaments haven’t got shit on the taken default look it’s scary otherworldy and gritty feeling
Jonathan Symes I like the bound one the best because of the Eris morn logo on the side
MaskedIsWrong I will give it to you that one is nice I just think that taken effect makes it look completely otherworldly mysterious powerful and very eye catching with the way the taken effect slithers around the sniper
equip the mod high energy fire and get charged with light, it makes it glow
Since killing them is considered the greatest form of love amongst the Hive, does that not mean we are giving the Hive the wrong impression since we are loving them so hard and pumping them full of bullets? XD
Nicholas Squires but at the same time. Due to fact that they tried to kill us on sight. I guess they are showing us love by ending us. So it's not so akward.
But whatever head cannon you go with, you gotta kill them.
And so Savathun said upon knowing the death of her brother, the Taken King, " *I ship it* "
Just remember that as you put Ace of Spades to Uldren's head...
Nicholas Squires its my favrouite form of worm love...... Stab until It bleeds 😂
Nicholas Squires that sounds wrong on so many levels lol
This exotic quest is what an exotic quest should be something to sink you teeth into, a challenge worthy of your time, an experience only provided by Destiny!
Thank you Bungie!!!
An experience that took me 9 hours
Christian Evans and considering when you posted this, quite possibly not even worth it.
Numpty Cunt it is worth it whisper is still god tier
Christian Evans it took me like 20-30 minutes lol
Still the best exotic quest ever.
I loved this video from you byf, but I I've got one thing to say. It's that wether 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 T'aurc. From what we can gather he commands the siege dancers from an imperial land tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defences, take this beast out and break their grip on Freehold
I actually thought you had a thoughtful comment, you son of a b#$"&. That joke was so unexpected I almost died choking on my damn drink. That... That was funny... and triggering.
Ah, you must be from the Discord server
snek4prez this has been done before. But, it still made me laugh 😂
Praise
snek4prez I see this everywhere but don't understand it, explainnnnn
My friends called me crazy when I said I didn't believe Xol was dead. I couldn't fathom it being so easy to slay a worm god like we did in the Warmind campaign. But, Byf proved me right (if his theories are deemed true) and for that, I thank you
"You shall drift"
What, like the Drifter?
"There is no light here"
i know i can't see a damn thing
Monster of Analysis wait, doesn’t the drifter use dark magic? Because he is the one giving us the taken version of thorn (it’s only obtainable from playing gambit from what I heard) maybe he explored the place too? But received the taken thorn gun?
What would the dark magic be other than "Darkness?"
Drift [Ridion]...Drift closer to being able to take a joke
*D E J A V U*
"A weapon so great, that the fabric of reality itself will tremble at its judgement", until the almighty Bungie devs decide to nerf it into useless oblivion.
Luke Smith whispered the Anthem Anatheme, the temptation to dominate the objective universe with the subjective will. It said, I shall be an engine to make your desire hegemon over your conditions. It said, TIME TO NERF THIS BAD BOY INTO OBLIVION. This was its worship. Aiat.
"There is power in this universe beyond your feeble Light." - Calus
So the reason Xol went down so easily in the mission is because he wanted us to kill him, allowing him to fulfill the full potential of the Sword Logic? Or was he as surprised by this revelation as we are? And is this the final stage of the Sword Logic? Can a greater stage of perfection be achieved, and if so, then through what?
I feel as though we’re slowly achieving some grand goal for the hive; both Xol and Oryx ended up the same way and both want us to do the same thing
Arkeice Ringgold yeah i agree tbh it’s trending that calus the nine and the hive are getting us ready for something
rowplatts a greater stage would be instead of being wielded by your conqueror, you become your conqueror
So when we kill xol he turned to the whisper and now we wield him, but what if when we kill xol then xols essence takes over and turns into us
This would mean that under any condition xol is the final shape. Still though I don’t know what is better, being part of the sword logic itself or being its strongest wielder
take it easy there Toland
Awe-inspiring video, as always -- actually, one of the *very* best! Still, Destiny's biggest letdown has been -- and probably always will be -- Bungie's insistence on that "the average gamer is too dumb for this deep stuff and doesn't care about it anyway, wants to just shoot things" (I have friends who have actually said this, except for the part about being stupid). In tucking the lore to the side and letting Loremasters like *My* *name* *is* *Byf* deliver the meaty stuff while Bungo shoves players into endless repeat grind of ultimately hollow Activities, the *promised* Star Wars/LotR-like potential of Destiny is wasted. Players will never remember shiver-inducing drama that would go into history books as some of finest *interactive* *story-telling* in gaming history ever, only some temporary adrenaline rush. That is truly tragic.
+BC P Thanks! I hadn't checked if my comment had any "thumb ups" (I usually never do), but now that I did, it was a pleasant surprise!
What I love about this weapon is that since it acts like black hammer where it doesn't refill the magazine from reserves it kind of compliments the hives need to feed since xol lives on in the whisper he wants us to feed him by killing with the gun as we kill he feeds and he doesn't want it to stop so when we land three headshots he will place three more rounds so we can keep feeding him
What a beastly looking weapon.
Really putting on the lore voice for this video. I love every second of it!
He's the Vaati Vidaya of Destiny
Byf, you better get some sleep before the launch of Forsaken this September. You want as much energy as you can get so you can collect all the lore, scanables, and item tabs........wait of course since solstice is next week---but after that, sleep the rest of the time between then and Forsaken
I really hope this expansion actually has some scannables, Warmind only had one, a pretty cool one, but still just one.
Azathor I mean it had those terminals
Yea, they were nice, and i admit i kinda forgot about those, but i want more still.
@@victor97O6 Bungie has said they're adding "collectables" back in to the game, and kind of implied that it would take the form of heavy amounts of scannables (that would then unlock lore entries in the lore tab) and actual dead ghost-esque stuff.
Have you heard it? The whispers they call to us from Io... every time I hear this opening I get chills. You have really outdone yourself! You white nailed it so to say! My God man I believe this is some of your best work so far. Keep it up Lore Master!
*Warmind? More like "worm-mind" *Slowly pulls trigger* XD*
SirCreepsAlott wow, you really spam even the littlest amount of hate on every destiny video...
[Ridion ] what? Does he show up often?
Joel From The Attic yeah, he's literally on every destiny 2 video spamming hate...
Don't miss
SirCreepsAlott Make good jokes then... Your "joke" was shit
Hive gods=Crazy guns
Hive gods=gun that I’ll probably never get.
Forcer hive gods= crazy powerful guns
He turned himself into a gun, funniest shit I've ever seen
"Death is a road." Man if this didn't immediately make me think of the OST for 'The Fountain' by Clint Mansell. There is a track called "Death is the Road to Awe" and I've always strongly associate it (and the soundtrack as a whole) with the Hive. The movie is about accepting death as a part of nature - finding the beauty and majesty in being part of something larger than yourself. In death you will live forever. The whole tone of the music is reverant and absolutely gorgeous but there is a distinct ominous note - its haunting. I imagine it's how the Hive view their morbid task, they see it as a good thing - beautiful and wondrous, the one Truth of the universe. Anyway, the Hive are my favorite enemy faction and this soundtrack and the message in this movie are a perfect fit for them. The more people that know about it the better :)

This video is shorter than the avg wait time for the PE.
CABAL AGAIN?????
Guywithgames279 dont even start....
With the blasted rock-shaking, concentration-shattering machinery!
VidGamer123 IRRELEVANT
Destroy it! make it suffer! AND IT IS NOT A METAPHOR!
Guywithgames279 this comment makes me happy that I’ll never have to do that PE ever again.
I love that you complete the mission with 10 seconds left! And then it goes right in the the 10 second mission end countdown. Such good timing.
Nokris...cmon man...just revive crota
ToxicMachine1 dude a Nokris Raid where the mini bosses are dead crota, oryx, and his (Nokris's) sisters.
MushuMadnesss yesssss
MushuMadnesss actually, the sister’s aren’t dead.
MushuMadnesss crota I don't mind but let's not forget the almighty oryx. Let's not disrespect the taken king by having him be a simple middle boss. Have nokris be the final boss and in his final moments he revives oryx, oryx is the surprise final boss and we don't end up killing him. He escapes and is fully revived
How about this... Nokris would tell you that all his relatives are dicks. So, a raid where Nokris is the final boss and he revives Crota, Oryx and the sisters in different stages through out the fight. You know, use them like little bitches.
Wait a damn minute!, Byf on a titan!??, my head is about to explode!! LOL!!!!!
I highly doubt this, but with the VOG portal in this mission it might be possible we see a vog remaster, or at least get to refight atheon or the Templar but instead they are taken. How amazing would that be. This could be like a mini raid lair maybe add one or two mechanics and they don't have to add all of the encounters back. I don't know I just thought that would be awesome to see
Might be possible nah it's back in full form
My tv breaks for a week, and I MISSED ALL OF THIS... Man, I need get back at it
I just don't understand why no game developer has decided to hire you to do voice over work for a character/narrator yet? Hopefully some day lol.
I may not play D2 anymore but I still greatly enjoy your videos and videos from others in the lore community.
If Oryx was alive in the ToM does that mean Ghaul killed him, because it never left my vault?
SirCreepsAlott Oryx did die in his throne world in the raid. He planned that if he ever was defeated, his foe (us) would seek out a weapon to sustain him. The ToM is a sliver of his soul. So I think if it did perish in the invasion he'd be snuffed out
well based on what we now know, it might not be destroyed so to speak, perhaps transformed, waiting to be reforged again into something even more perfect, like a taken version like what we see here with the hammer/spindle/whisper
If the vault is like a bank vault, then it was probably destroyed with all the others unless then there's a Cabal centurion running around with it.
If the vault is like a giant jar of pickle juice holding the quantum particles of your gear, then it was smashed and the pickle juice splashed all over, dripping down the side of the tower and only a talented pickleman sorcerer of Savathun could sort it out. Or Master Rahul craving a sandwich.
Oh shit
im a returning player from destiny 1 on ps3 that got the ps4 very late. i really like snipers and i was very interested in the whisper, because of the place, the damage and the perks that it has, and, after that video im extremely pumped to get this weapon, well, now im grinding my ass off to light 1000 to solo this bad ass mission
"All part of the plan"
Came back after confirmation that the Whisper of the Worm returned as a craftable exotic for Into the Light update
Drevis: You shall not be remembered.
Urzok: There is no love for you.
Ta'aurc: You shall always be a bullet sponge.
Who's devris
@@nva1377 Drevis was a Baroness from the Fallen House of Wolves back in Destiny 1. She was a Mini Boss that could spawn while patrolling the Cosmodrome and was the target of a Wanted Bounty.
@@1Ultimatehero oh... thx. I didn't play much destiny 1. Got frustrating
nothing better than coming home after a long day of work and lore video pops up, perfect
Videos like these are why I subscribed to you. All of your content is awesome don't mistake me, but theories about weapons and the lore behind them are why I enjoy your channel! I know you did a small video on the Leviathan early in, but at some point, will you finish the Legend Of Acrius at all?
Also, At 22:00 what music is playing? I've heard it before in previous videos.
This does not sound like a theory man. This sounds hella real and it all connects. You are so good at this. Especially with that voice
So Xol is now the Whisper of the Worm, just as Oryx became the Touch of Malice, except more sentient and in control, but what happened to Nokris? Is he back in the Ascendant Realm? I would assume so.
we didnt go to the acsendant realm to kill him, so he should have been sent back there
Xol doesnt have an ascendant realm because he rejected the sword logic and bastardized it to create a new order among the hive pantheon. And eventually lead his undead army to destroy Oryx and his siblings. That is why Oryx cast him out and removed every mention of him from the dreadnought. Every worm god but Xol rejected him for his radical ideology that power can be found anywhere else but from sword logic.
Yeah, but i was talking about Nokris, not Xol
Martin Conway well Norris joined xol, so maybe he doesn’t have one either
NORRIS? We're screwed then
1:14 the nostalgia wave I got from that Io token popping up…
Shooting Xol with Whisper.
"Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself"
- reload
"stop hitting yourself ---"
This is the kind of storytelling that makes me crave a Destiny novel to be written. Hopefully there will be a day when such a thing happens, but until then, we will have to settle for Bungie's stellar lore work.
Keep up the magnificent work Byf.
I know that it’s not black hammer but ima call it that forever
Elijah The Slow Gamer same I keep calling it spindle xD even though hammer is more accurate
Is technically the same weapon just evolved
Lol I just wish Bungie would stop renaming stuff we’re already familiar with. Light is Power, primary is kinetic, special is energy, heavy is power, and Black Hammer/Spindle is Whisper of the Worm.
There should be a gun called Ban Hammer a gun so bad that if you managed to die from it you get booted to orbit
Actually byf explained it exceptionally well. It’s an evolution not a reskin.
Shadow Keep gives the lore of this quest a whole new meaning.
How so?
@@wolfofumbra8332 In the quest, Xol was able to bring back dead enemies as Taken. In Shadowkeep, the Pyramid is able to ressurect the villains of our past as who they were. When I made this comment, I believed that Xol's ability to ressurect the dead came from the Darkness itself.
@@elitegamer9310 yeah that makes sense thanks for the enlightenment bro
The hive would get along with Thanos well
You do have to give the hive credit, they may be essentially space demons, but DAMN do they make excellent weapon smiths..
Im a simple man, I see Byf, I click.
I can hear the whispers! Oh no, he’s coming for me, don’t let him get me!
Dude you make the best destiny lore videos, always so well narrated and the video is always appropriately edited together. Keep up the excellent and excitingly informative work!
Byf, can you clear up a point of confusion I have with the hive lore? The hive for the most part look down on necromancy, but what about when Oryx brought back his two sisters back from their final deaths? Isn't that a form of necromancy? By what power where the sisters revived if not by some form of necromancy?
Ivegonefishing Oryx revived them not with necromancy. He abided by sword logic to bring them back. He revived his sisters by tricking, overpowering, and extinguishing an entire race to bring them back. He layed the foundation for why the hive worship death as a concept. As a means to best another and assert superiority. By his sisters willingly giving their lives to empower Oryx to do such a thing is proof that they themselves earned the right to exist.
A weapon, so powerful that the fabrics of reality tremble at its judgement.
GUARDIAN DOWN
Starts RUclips app
"I'm gonna search for whisper of the worm lore"
Looks at recommend
This..... Lmao
Your voice is so calming yet has an edge to it almost as if you were on one the taken conquerors
What if Cayde-6 returns but taken. That would be an awesome twist, like he becomes the new raid boss.
No
What if nokris reanimated him?
Man... Your videos are so good that when the guy who's done Blue Planet and Planet Earth passes... (God willing he lives as long as possible) They need to be ringing your phone with a contract drawn... Brilliant Byfe, simply Brilliant as always.
This whole situation screams quiria blade transform to me
Knifeman i agree totally
The Whisper of the Worm is literally just “You shall drown in the Deep”
These are the kind of byf lore videos I grew to love, they have seemed to take a turn as of late but old school byf lore rules
Wasn't Akka's body used to make the dreadnought? Would that be the same as Xol becoming a rifle?
Yes and no. Akka is dead for good and oryx was just using his corpse as a makeshift ascendant realm. Xol managed to come back and turn into an entity that could effectively feed off of the death the worms love so much
You know what that means? bungie nerfed a worm god.
It will be interesting to see if they bring back old raid bosses in taken form. I could see Oryx and Atheon making a surprise appearance in the Dreaming City.
I miss the whisper mission
The rifle evolving from the hammer to the spindle then to the whisper was utterly brilliant
Icebreaker isn’t the most infamous sniper? I’ve been lied too.
My first reaction to hearing xol was “oh i can’t wait for byf to do something on this”
Well played xol
Love it, BYF! I’m so glad Bungie has stepped their game up and is really bringing the universe back to its dark roots. The weapon is difficult to get, the weapon is as rewarding as it is hard to get, and the lore and mysteries we stumble upon getting this weapon are amazing. Bravo Bungie! 👏👏👏
I have a weird respect for the Hive now.
I love that you referenced that there was not any light down there to balance out the darkness....isn't that what we are supposed to be? I was instantly reminded of the speech Vision gave in CA civil war about strength inviting challenge but from the darkness's perspective
Has anyone noticed Xols head on the barrel?
Oh my God really I did not know
The king Of flames I love your sarcasm not kidding
Whaaaaaaaa really thought it was Capitan zahn
"That is not dead, which can Eternal lie, and with strange aeons, even Death may yet die"
TTK was the best expansion
PBB Master I’ve got hope for forsaken 😭
Forsaken blew that out of the water XD
Can we just appreciate for a moment how good the music was in that area? Pixel remixes of older soundtracks of Destiny. I really, really loved that!
Hey byf, got a question for you; if Xol and the other worm gods have been proven to be invertebrate, what will happen to the video book of sorrow as the worm gods their are Ahamkara. I myself now believe them to be worm-like and Yuul merely lies to the universe to appear differently, an irony granted by him being the 'honest' worm.
The Worm Gods are not Ahamkara. First the Ahamkara may not look like the worms at all. That is only noted from the D1 concept art. Second, the Worm Gods are not able to grant wishes. Akka granted Oryx HIS OWN power through death. The Worm Gods gave the Hive their worms as to make the Hive stronger and give the worms something to feed upon, to grow. Xol already had the power of Necromancy and gifted that to Nokris. The Ahamkara on the other hand were able to grant wishes to people but the wish would only destroy the wisher in eventuality. Does that answer everything before you spoke about Yuul?
The Dark Souls it was more a question aimed towards byf as he is the creator of the book of sorrow videos, not the source material. But yes it's exactly what I meant, they were never dragons in the first place only our perception of them and now that we see them we realise they are worm-like.
floopjoop The Accursed savathuun hates the ahamkara. They appear near the traveler. They're polar opposites
floopjoop The Accursed The ahamkara are dragons have you not seen the giant fucking ahamkara skull at Shax? Does that look anything like the shape of a worm?
GGyourdead no I'm aware of that it's just we, the player base, believed them to be the same and I'm curious as to what byf will do now that the worm gods are not Ahamkara as he poised them as such in his book of sorrow series
“We beckon forth the end of the universe with every pull of the trigger-“
...I WANT IT EVEN MORE NOW LOL
No but seriously, great video! I love how you take your lore very seriously. I enjoy listening to you taking about things I’ve never thought about. and your clear, slow speech is very captivating. Keep up the good work, Lore Master.
...(I also don’t have whisper of the worm...feelsbadman)
I had this theory that after we defeat savathun we will leave the throne of the taken without a king we won't take it but this time toland won't beg us to take the taken throne he will take it himself and toland the shattered will be known as toland the taken king
YA7YA XD More like 'Toland the Asshole.'
You’ve come blooday far last time i saw you had 200 k subs dude well done man amazing work love your videos 🔥🔥
You're up late byf
SkarrowJr. but better arlo!
Forcer hi
By the Sword Logic, Xol found the perfect host. One that will endure whatever test the Deep will lay. By becoming its tool, Xol will feed greatly and grow stronger. Every kill, in the name of Xol.
360p
"Wield me! And test your foes!" I love that line
Your Discord is awesome for LFG and socialising.
I found a group there that was willing to give a 360 Hunter a try in the Whisper Quest and we pulled it off.
Yo sick video, thanks for popping into the lfg discord channel with one of the admins the other day, that surprised us all
I HEAR THAT KINGS FALL SOUNDTRACK.. Brings back so many memories :(
Closer and closer to a Toland video!! Can’t wait!
"Zavala, I kid you not. Xol turned itself into a gun. Funniest shit I've ever seen."
Definitely, there is more on Io then we thought not just the taken but the bed oracles as well and if you look into the bed gate where the oracles are it looks just like the Templar's well inside the vault of glass
Damn I was so looking forward to the mission once I got off work. Another week to wait :(
I prefer the base look of the gun over the exotic ornaments. I love how its covered in blight and has a dynamic look to it.
As always great vid. i have yet to try try oracles but saw a few videos on them and you were the only one to explain the logic behind the order to shot. Nice throwback to my VoG days
Amazing video Byf, thank you so much :) the lore is so great, I'm so glad they threw this mission in the game
And did anyone else notice that the barrel of Whisper of The Worm looks like Xol himself? Pretty bad ass
This is awesome! I was thinking that instead of Xol Being the weapon, the weapon was feeding him, nuturiing him to become not only smarter, but stronger
Oh how i miss the Oryx theme, i got chills hearing it in the background. Another good lore video BYF. 👌
Such a cool mission so glad people found this.
Now this... THIS is this destiny I love. People say destiny has no story. Maybe so. But its universe and lore is god dam awesome.
Goes without saying thank you, but a grain of salt from my head.. really interesting hearing about how hive gods can leave behind vestiges to live through, or a vessel to inhabit.. what im getting at is this idea would be really awesome if somewhere down the lines we got another weapon in the same lineage as whisper/spindle. Not a carbon copy but maybe a pulse, any other weapon tbh- i think the visual appeal of whisper is so incredible. Would be cool to even just have 1 or 2 more weapons in that family. Maybe even similar appearance-wise as well.. they have a ton of room to make it fit nicely into the lore as well
Example could be a bow that acts as a vessel for a new hive god/ one of the more powerful beings. I especially love the 3 kryll/children back when them and the helium drinkers had beef at the start. It would be amazing to see a quest or a weapon that pays homage to them or sheds more light on that era even. (Not aware of a weapon that does this so far if you know one lmk)
This makes a lot of sense. Even the very front of the gun's barrel kinda reassembles Xol's mouth!
This makes the gun so much better to wield. And I like the new name better anyways. It feels way more powerful and I’m in love with it
