hey y'all, so i spent my entire night and some morning editing this (up until 3am) and i was really happy with how this turned out, but i'm definitely looking for feedback. any feedback is good feedback, pacing, duration, what to include, what to cut, all that stuff, so lemme hear it. this is eventually what i want editors to be doing with converting stream content into destiny content, although i can't guarantee what kind of content we'll get. i wanna have more of me experiencing things in the game and showing that perspective vs. just ALWAYS explaining what this thing is or that thing is. there will be plenty of that, but i am working on more personality driven content, so yeah. lmk. hope you enjoy.
I really liked it. I think part of what worked really well for this vid was how the puzzle was set up. There were a couple smaller bites at the start and then a big chunk in the middle and then some smaller chunks, that were also kind of payoffs for learning the puzzle and getting to the spoilers at the end. I also really liked the explanation of the puzzle. I don't know how that would translate to other kinds of content/stream supercuts. But the small bites of the earlier puzzles and then the big puzzle to get more invested in (from a meta content/entertainment perspective) worked really well. Around 40 mins for something like this is a good amount of time that I'd be interested in watching. For critiques: at the end it kind of just cuts off abruptly. Having some end time to fade out and space for other video cards would be nice. Especially the times where there might be something they'd be blocking on screen at the end of a vid. Also having chat excerpts or on screen could be some extra engagement. With the nature of the puzzle that wouldn't work for this vid, but it's something that I've seen from other channels that I like. Been watching since D1 and look forward to seeing you branch out into whatever the next evolution of the channel brings ^_^
I thought this video was one of your best edits! I loved the overlapping voices from all the times you were talking and I think the video turned our great. I edit my videos and I knew it took a lot of time with this one. I appreciate it and loved the video. Especially you actually taking the time to solve it and understand it
Honestly a community puzzle in game to move the story forward is such a big move for destiny’s narrative. Rarely are we the ones moving action forward. Here were the actual force driving things forward and that’s awesome
Seeing the cutscene and that it was our guardian that figured the big revelation out and not just an NPC solving it and then telling us was so refreshing
@@thecatthatgravityforgot8428 yah I mean I’d love MORE of this. But I also accept that destiny’s current model means innovation happens too slowly. That sucks in my opinion but given that truth seeing stuff like this is a huge huge win
Very meta too, considering the Guardian figuring out the 15th wish is like a representative of us controlling them, and how we’ve been speculating on the 15th wish for years. Same goes for Ikora’s radio dialogue, it’s like the lore speculation people do pulling together lore from different parts of Destiny.
@@dylanmiller1140I think the work done for season of the witch is a direct response to the backlash we gave season of plunder. Which I’m glad we have it. I hope we get more. It would be cool if next season we would have weekly puzzles to solve
That ending section really cleared things up, thanks Datto. I had taken down my notes in the worst way possible it seems - I didn't record Glyph and shape per totem, I recorded Totem and shape per Glyph lol
a friend of mine really wanted to figure this out on her own while i was there to give hints if needed, after about an hour she only just realized there were symbols on other floors, she found the one and cried, she never realized there were two other floors to look at after she asked for the answer, sadge
i solved the last puzzle for 4 totems in like 15 minutes but then i looked it up after trying what should have been the solution and learned there were 12 more totems i had to do i aint goin to each floor and doin allat
Glad Datto went and charted it himself, the chart he was linked initially was just wrong, and I made the mistake of checking my own charting work with it, which ended up messing everything up making me have to go back and rechart every floor to be safe.
Holy hell, respect to everyone who did the final imbaru mission without a guide. It seemed complicated when I read the description on how it was solved but seeing it is so much worse. I am so happy I just used a guide
this was such an enjoyable watch, to see your thoughts going through each puzzle along with everything that went into figuring out the final puzzle was super interesting, just a shame puzzles like this don't come around very often cos I would love more stuff like this in the future editing was on point and I feel everything included was relevant to the video itself while not being bloat (at least in my opinion) Overall very good! Fantastic job Datto + Editors :)
This was great. Fun to watch you think and test for sure. Many great clip choices showing both progress, despair, and funny moments. The 30:41-30:46 clip was incredible, exactly matching how I felt trying to solve it myself. Totally happy if this is the direction you take your YT channel.
The photoshop edit collage was freaking hilarious. I need to go back to do this puzzle legit after using a guide cause I wanted cutscene and I’ve been busy with school and work. Loved this video and editing style Datto
I heard you spent 5 hours on the latest puzzle and decided to hop back into destiny to try it myself, speedran the seasonal story and got the cards, did the three puzzles(which were fun little puzzles, despite room 2 seeming random with how you switch to "every other".), and then the last room. That last puzzle took me a while, me and a friend on stream drew down pages of symbols between the 16 statues. Took me forever to try backtracking. Loved the puzzle.
@@filipmajetic1174If that was the case, maybe, but the puzzle doesn't help in that I think every single enemy after you enter the room is a thrall, so it feels less like a rule and more like a random switch.
@@sauceinmyface9302 arrows on the platforms they're standing on. Follow the arrow to the next one in the chain. Using the pattern and the directions of the arrows will tell you which to kill.
@@skibbydibs Yeah, that's logical. The issue for me is that the first couple you kill every mob in the chain, then after you cross into the room it's every other mob. If it's based on the mobs being cursed thrall/knights, they should've mixed it up to establish cursed thralls and knights as being different in the rules. As it is, they switch from knights to cursed thralls and never switch back, feeling a bit random.
@@sauceinmyface9302 i agree they should’ve switched back but it was based on the sword logic perk since it was the war room. Red bar knight = sword logic x1 so move forward 1 space. Yellow bar cursed thrall = sword logic x2 so move forward two spaces
This is perfect, exactly what I’ve been looking for. I enjoy watching people’s thought process when solving puzzles or raid mechanics. I hate looking up solution help online only to find the answer and not the process behind it
From someone who just uses a guide to bypass these puzzles, I loved watching you figure it out because it did slightly annoy me that I didnt know why it was the correct combination 😂
This was fricking awesome! Seeing not only your end result but the steps you took to get there was so cool to see, thanks for pushing yourself, not only by doing this (somewhat blind) but also cracking on to get the video edited and published, good on you! Keep up the great videos!!
Glad that tiny ween guy got his time to shine. And the symbol too. My first time watching your stream live and it was this whole ride. Great stuff trying to work it out. Destiny community at its best
Seeing the puzzle being worked through was so interesting! I was able to keep up for a while and then i got so lost. And then seeing the way you wrote it out at the end really cleared it up! This is so great!
Thank you for actually explaining the solution all the other channels just skip that part and sure it’s a bit complex and hard to follow but I still wanted to know the idea at least so thanks for that
You know, watching you struggle through this is very cathartic - in a good sense. When I found out there was new content unlocked with this weeks reset - and not just that but an important cutscene after a puzzle! - it was already close to midnight for me. As trigger happy as this community is with spoilers I decided unspoiled story/cutscene > the enjoyment of solving a puzzle myself. I'm happy I made that decision but as a puzzle enthusiast I feel little bit robbed of half of the fun. Also glad we agree that this particular symbol is "tiny ween guy".
Thank you for breaking this down into an edited video. I started the stream playback and it went over my head. Can not imagine spending 4+ hours on this. ALL HAIL SMALL WEEN GUY!!
I enjoyed the Imbaru engine a lot when it came out. Especially the final puzzle. The amount of layers it had. Spent a few hours on it till I threw in the towel. I was then told I had to leave the room and see the other 3 levels so while I had worked out the theory mostly, I was missing like 3/4 of the raw data. But it was nice to actually get the brain gears turning. I don’t think the community has had puzzles like this since finding wishes and solving the LW vault.
Hopefully you see this datto. There is 1 symbol that only ever appears once, you can do the same thing that you did with the pizza slice symbol/vex head but on that piece as it only ever appears once, and then do the same process as you explained.
Of all the things D2 got right or has done best, is story progression with these puzzles. And just the story in general has some really neat elements. It's just funny in a weird way that in a game where damn near everything is solved, activated or otherwise interracted with by bullets, they put in these environmental puzzles. While completely different, it kind of reminds me of the command query thing in terminals you need to do in GTFO to find some things. Just having you stop completely and pivot your mentallity.
I enjoyed this video a lot, especially your breakdown at the end of how you solved puzzle #4, since I was lost tbh. I also enjoyed that moment in #3 with your reaction when you jumped forward and saw the hidden void rune, and all the !!!!! with the solar runes. I'm not much of a big brain with puzzles like this so usually watch video guides. Seeing this "behind the scenes" of working through it gave me a deeper appreciation for advanced puzzle solving skills. Great job!
This is fascinating. I've always wondered how you Destiny Puzzle masters figure these things out. Amazing - Max Respect! Just realising I would be nowhere in this game if I had to figure all these puzzles out myself without internet telling me the answer. Thank you and your people.
Ty for this video Datto as I have been away from my pc for a month and a half and won’t be back until the start of the next season and won’t be able to do this (I assume, but I guess technically it’ll probably still be there til TFS huh), so it was really nice and fun to be able to watch your process of figuring it all out and kinda do it alongside you. 💖😄
I know you were a bit disappointed but huge props for figuring out as much as you did, I looked up the method before transcribing and "solving" the puzzle myself and even _that_ gave me some trouble lol... love this style of video btw, it hits a nice sweet spot between full unedited vod and the extremely short highlights, I know this was kind of a rare opportunity but it was nice to see someone work through the puzzle instead of just "here's the symbols you need to activate"
I used a guide to the last puzzle since otherwise I'd be there for days trying to figure it out. Watching Datto figure out what my miniscule brain would've immediately died upon trying to figure out helps to actually understand the puzzle and how to actually solve it. Thanks, Datto.
I'll admit, I gave the Truth & Lies puzzle like 10mins before I looked up a guide that had a section where it *only tells you the ruleset you should work with,* IE that Circles are Truths, Triangles are Lies, but each statue tells two lies and one truth about the symbols it points to; it also said that you want to identify what symbols are actually Lies. I had a lot of fun solving it from there, honestly.
When I figured out that small pp small legs handstand man was true and was the only one, it all fell into place. It was so satisfying to do it without a guide.
I loved this and your idea for personality driven content. Kind of like Cross'. Your channel has little. I've recently gone back to watch your full world's first raid clears from old raids basically looking for this type of content. 2 thumbs up. Please make more.
i was trying to slove it for a while but never realized you could go back to the other rooms for more info. damn i feel like i couldve solved it with that info as well
Just now me and my sister tried breaking out some pen and paper-we filled out the symbols, KNOWING THE RULES FROM A GUIDE MIND YOU, got all the symbols down, looked it over for five minutes and said; “yeah, f this I want to see the cutscene” and just looked up the answer. We honestly thought we were gonna do something lol, good job to everyone who did this legit I think that knowing ONE correct symbol would help a lot
Was watching the VOD in bits before bed, really glad you uploaded this. The editing is really nice and the little jokes are uninstructive enough to where they add enough to be funny but not annoying. The hour timeskips could be expanded upon a little more to flow better rather than just a quick cut and "hour x" in small lettering in the middle of the screen. The editing of the first three puzzles made it seem like 2 and 3 took longer for you to figure out, even though the "Total Time" text showed them all taking around 10 minutes. But as always I enjoyed this, and your minimalist editing style compared to other YT videos. You always do good work, Datto.
I loved this puzzle so much that it made Season of the Witch my favorite Lightfall Season by far. Not sure what Season of the Wish holds (hopefully another crazy puzzle, but not holding my hopes up 😅), but I really hope Bungie does more puzzles like this in the future 😁.
When I looked at it, I figured Pizza must be true that it's a triangle because in that final room, all four statues make it appear as triangle. And given that the symbols only "matter" in that room because you interact with the symbols directly there, that it had to tell the truth there
This is kind of hilarious. I had to guess my way through most of puzzle 1 and all of puzzle 3, but I was able to figure out that triangle-equals-fire immediately. In comparison, you wiped the floor with the first three, but struggled on the fourth. I have no idea what to think.
i really enjoyed the video. i didn't get to catch this on the stream so it was great seeing the solving and brainstorming of the puzzle. i would suggest background music just for ambiance especially since this is a longer video format. it personally helps me to stay engaged. keep the gameplay content coming!
This was very funny and entertaining. I could not figure this out, I created my own form of logic, and got myself stuck. I had a friend come in to help and she solved it first try. But MY GOD she could not explain it at all. So watching this helped the last little bit click and make sense. (Also, I think 3-Dots is the true starting point, because it is only marked by a statue once; but you are right, if you had it backwards you could always flip it.)
hey man! editing was great, i felt engaged the whole time! i’ve tried to formulate a critique for the sake of helping you, but genuinely couldn’t think of one. great video!
This was entertaining! The whole lot of it Engine 4 took me 247minutes lol - Went in blind and figured out the key really quickly but not the full puzzle. After an hour of attempts, I got 2 hints, 1. check other floors 2. triangle meant "on" Spent the next hour drawing everything and then another half hour plugging it into Excel Mixed 2 symbols up somewhere along the way and only realized it after Ice Cream Rune couldn't be a 1 or 0 according to my Karnaugh Map lmao (that shorter arm looks close enough to a full arm through a sniper scope at an off angle) After I fixed the input data, it was 2 quick attempts and done I missed seeing puzzles like these (last one was Season of the Dawn, right?)
I'll be disappointed if you never used your fabulous Hive glyph callouts again lol I respect you trying to solve this on your own, even if it took a long time I enjoyed this video, the moment when you overlapped yourself theorizing a bunch to show how much time you spent in a compressed form was nice and made me chuckle (about the 18 minute mark)

*8 hours later*
Jez: "THERE ARE OTHER ROOMS WITH STATUES IN THEM?!"

Are you trying to kill him 🤣🤣
He'll be fiiiine
That would just be Jez's supervillain origin story lol.
Dont really think this is a good idea at all lmao
That was really sweet of Danielle :) I would’ve thought the same if I heard the notebook toss.
That ending section really cleared things up, thanks Datto. I had taken down my notes in the worst way possible it seems - I didn't record Glyph and shape per totem, I recorded Totem and shape per Glyph lol
Oh yeah definitely possible, it just was NOT coming to mind lol
Looking at Datto’s notes at the end just made me think: did they just make a massive penumbra-ant umbra puzzle? Cause that’s what it looks like to me.
Was really enjoyable to watch live. Glad you didn't give up. Still easier than double watermelon.

I don’t have the brain cells left to do this kinda thing lmfao. Glad to see you uploaded datto
love the editing and the pacing. shows greatly how insane that 4th puzzle was, without needing to make the vid into just a 1:1 replay of the stream💀

The level of exasperation is palpable and I Love it
I love how creative you cleared the 3rd puzzle. Shooting the solar plates so the rest of the distractions disappear. Genius
The 4th puzzle was a cool concept but I gave up because I didn't realise you had to leave the room for more of the symbols
Of all the things D2 got right or has done best, is story progression with these puzzles. And just the story in general has some really neat elements.

Just now me and my sister tried breaking out some pen and paper-we filled out the symbols, KNOWING THE RULES FROM A GUIDE MIND YOU, got all the symbols down, looked it over for five minutes and said; “yeah, f this I want to see the cutscene” and just looked up the answer.
We honestly thought we were gonna do something lol, good job to everyone who did this legit
I think that knowing ONE correct symbol would help a lot
I'm sure tiny ween guy has a great personality. Great video
This was great video Datty-o
Also, the fashion on your titan is fucking badass
Was watching the VOD in bits before bed, really glad you uploaded this. The editing is really nice and the little jokes are uninstructive enough to where they add enough to be funny but not annoying. The hour timeskips could be expanded upon a little more to flow better rather than just a quick cut and "hour x" in small lettering in the middle of the screen. The editing of the first three puzzles made it seem like 2 and 3 took longer for you to figure out, even though the "Total Time" text showed them all taking around 10 minutes.
But as always I enjoyed this, and your minimalist editing style compared to other YT videos. You always do good work, Datto.
I both wish I had tried to solve it by myself and am glad that I did not. This was a great video to give me the experience. Good job, much appreciated
honestly really would love to see you do more puzzle content in videogames!!
the conditional finality was crazy foreshadowing tbb
This was really great! Watched through the whole figuring out the puzzle 4 thing. Very entertaining and satisfying to watch you solve it!
Just did the puzzle solo and blind aswell despite being super late to it but it was awesome and my reward is being able yo watch this video lmao
That was really cool. I would like to see more of this kind of content. It's fun to play along with you and learn your thought process.
God I love your videos so much. They're literal journeys to join you on for 20 minutes to and hour.
I loved this puzzle so much that it made Season of the Witch my favorite Lightfall Season by far. Not sure what Season of the Wish holds (hopefully another crazy puzzle, but not holding my hopes up 😅), but I really hope Bungie does more puzzles like this in the future 😁.
this was very very good, datto!! I admire your patience and your drive!! good content.
Super cool content, really neat to watch how the problem solving actually took place!
Datto’s explanation of a printer hits deep when you work in IT
When I looked at it, I figured Pizza must be true that it's a triangle because in that final room, all four statues make it appear as triangle. And given that the symbols only "matter" in that room because you interact with the symbols directly there, that it had to tell the truth there
Appreciate the hard work from D daddy
This is kind of hilarious. I had to guess my way through most of puzzle 1 and all of puzzle 3, but I was able to figure out that triangle-equals-fire immediately. In comparison, you wiped the floor with the first three, but struggled on the fourth. I have no idea what to think.
really enjoyed the drawing stream
Took me over 3 hours but was the most fun I've had with Destiny in a long time
love the descent into madness! keep it up datto!!
i really enjoyed the video. i didn't get to catch this on the stream so it was great seeing the solving and brainstorming of the puzzle. i would suggest background music just for ambiance especially since this is a longer video format. it personally helps me to stay engaged. keep the gameplay content coming!
This is the best Datto video yet
Yeah this took me forever to figure out I had to take tylenol from how bad of a headache i had from it.
Dude. I spent almost TWO HOURS in the main room and didn't even realize there were symbols around the tower, never even thought to look.
I tried for half hour and gave up. Didn't even know that the symbols are scattered throughout the floors. Sill love this kind of puzzle though.
“We determined that’s the truth” reminds me of Maury’s lie detector episodes lol
This was very funny and entertaining. I could not figure this out, I created my own form of logic, and got myself stuck. I had a friend come in to help and she solved it first try. But MY GOD she could not explain it at all. So watching this helped the last little bit click and make sense. (Also, I think 3-Dots is the true starting point, because it is only marked by a statue once; but you are right, if you had it backwards you could always flip it.)
I will never understand how this game has puzzles this complex but also treats you like a child and hold your hand in other areas...
hey man! editing was great, i felt engaged the whole time! i’ve tried to formulate a critique for the sake of helping you, but genuinely couldn’t think of one. great video!
Listening to how you work out the solution is very entertaining. +1
This was entertaining! The whole lot of it
Engine 4 took me 247minutes lol - Went in blind and figured out the key really quickly but not the full puzzle.
After an hour of attempts, I got 2 hints,
1. check other floors
2. triangle meant "on"
Spent the next hour drawing everything and then another half hour plugging it into Excel
Mixed 2 symbols up somewhere along the way and only realized it after Ice Cream Rune couldn't be a 1 or 0 according to my Karnaugh Map lmao (that shorter arm looks close enough to a full arm through a sniper scope at an off angle)
After I fixed the input data, it was 2 quick attempts and done
I missed seeing puzzles like these (last one was Season of the Dawn, right?)
Watching the final puzzle was like watching the movie Castaway lol. Just a slow, steady descent into madness 😅
This is what I want, thank you Datto. I want more Datto having fun.
I'll be disappointed if you never used your fabulous Hive glyph callouts again lol
I respect you trying to solve this on your own, even if it took a long time
I enjoyed this video, the moment when you overlapped yourself theorizing a bunch to show how much time you spent in a compressed form was nice and made me chuckle (about the 18 minute mark)
Imagine Jez doing that last room 🤣
I really enjoy this content. Love the work dato 👍
Datto’s drawings for this reminds me of drawings you would see in an insane asylum patients room
The Imbaru Engine stuff is actually pretty slick. First run through was easy to solve, though.
just remember, with the right team we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out and break their grip on freehold.
