So, 2 (or more) Vex factions?
If “Aspect” is to be believed it would be easy to equate it to that. It’s hard to see what groupings of vex really are. Is it one collective mind? Is it a bunch of greater axis minds as suggested? Is every molecule of radiolaria sentient?
We’re not sure how to beat quantify Vex and we’re not sure if Aspect holds with veracity.
@@MynameisByf I see. But that some Vex refused to connect with the Heart makes me wonder if some cooperation is possible in the future (same as the Spider's Fallen).
@@Erelorial that would actually be awesome
No one gonna talk about how the artifact we collected has the same markings as the traveler? It's like a mini traveler...thoughts Byf?
@@MynameisByf radiolaria are midichlorians confirmed.
"Do you remember cutting down the Sol progeny?" Yeah I remember doing it underleveled because im an idiot and running out of ammo and having to melee the ads to death.
I remember having to ask a friend to help me cuz i was under leveled as well
That’s honestly kind of epic how you did it like that
I remember hiding while I waited for the next wave of ads so I could get heavy ammo.
I did it recently with a green fusion and a white pulse rifle...
But i own a ps4 more for watching movies/shows so i dont habe ps+ so... well still epic moment
Ah, good times. Final boss kill via literally whatever you could find
"They will be told... like this" [Cut to ad break] Eris: "YOU KNOW THAT THING THAT GOES BUMP IN THE NIGHT"
Perfect timing by YT there.
I got the Moon's Haunted ad after Byf said that
RUclips didn’t time that byf did
Eris, get your ad off my byf lore
DC OneFourSeven BECOME THAT THING

Garden Vex: Worship the Darkness so that they may live for as long as the Darkness.
Forest Vex: Wish to remove every possibility and future where they are not the only thing left, no Light or Darkness
and Third Vex Faction?
VoG Vex
@@marseldagistani1989 there are LOTS of vex factions. Not just two
@@soulofcinder4748 I always viewed it like this
- The Vex in general have a single end goal
- But the "Factions" are given free will to explore their own approach that they would deem the definitive path to victory.
I personally adore the Vex.
Deep lore to explore, aesthetic that doesn't bore.
Mysterious to the core. Leave your brain feeling sore.
@@yodagaming5905 really quite a chore.
@@cyancyclone5642 … always leaves you wanting more
I wonder what the Vex are actually planting in that Garden. I picture them having a massive strawberry orchid
Its blueberry farm but yeah, were running low on credits since Osiris took our currency simulator 😢
I find it strange that all places vex are named after plants or glass
Considering the description from the Uldren lore books about how the Garden grew in the Calbal guy, strawberries aren't that far fetched of a thing.
Just another Redjack Vault of Glass? Pyramidion?
Bob is Consumed spoilers!
darkness: “any last words?”
me: “how’s your sister?”
darkness:"how's yours?" 👀
I mean, that doesn't really make any sense in context, but alright
Me” How do I sign up?”
John Smith I mean, we could consider the Light to be the Darkness’ sister, so the Traveler and Darkness are twin sister who hate each other.
SSGSS 4 Goku 11 i appreciate you, kakarot.
“Do you remember?”
“Pepperidge Farm remembers”
Darkness : "Any last words ?"
*me taking out my Last Word* : very poor choice of words mate
Yee haw muddafukas
"Yours... not mine."
I could’ve sworn that in curse of Osiris it’s often mentioned that the vex cannot predict us in anyway, they see guardians as an uncontrollable variable
yeah
It makes sense cuz we as Guardians are a paracausal entity that plays outside of their control.
It was mentioned in a side adventure, on Nessus. Guardians are referred to as “those which we cannot simulate”
This raid is the most aesthetically pleasing art of destiny ive ever seen depicted by a human.
The black garden in general.
It is gorgeous. Just wish GoS wasn't so buggy
Regarding the last scene of the campaign, I'm particularly pleased that 5 years ago I made my Hunter main character a human with white face paint, bright red lipstick and blue eyes. I have always called him "The Mime". He looked particularly creepy in that scene.
🤡
Darkness: "Hey, you're strong. Why not come over to the side that has the most power?"
Me: "No u."
Newvegas100 It isn’t you that says No u. It was Zavala at the end of Shadowkeep
Well about that...
@@fartman875 This hasn't aged well...
@@mando_dablord2646 and by now it REALLY hasnt aged well
I'm calling it now: That spherical artifact is Pandora's Box. The minute we poke it the wrong way, it'll open up to unleash our doom. Curiosity will kill us all.
It looks like a mini traveler. Like a traveler voodo-doll
Thank you, imma smash it now before it’s too late
Byf’s recollection of the Black Heart “fight” is so much more exciting and badass than the actual fight was.
“Kill 3 big minotaurs and shoot the big blob”. Yaaaaaay...
Better than anything we have now tbh
@@timothymoore2966 not tbh
@@timothymoore2966 not at all stop the cap
I personally enjoyed it quite a lot
“Then they’ll be told like this”
*Nectar mattress ad plays*
It's also worth noting that 5 years ago, whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars.
So we got to take out their command, one by one.
From what Zavala could gather, Valus Ta'aurc commanded the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon.
He was well protected, but with the right team, we punched through those defenses, took this beast out, and broke their grip on Freehold.
Indeed
“I understand your new here, so let me tell you a story”. Byf is like some old, scholarly warlock spreading stories of times long gone. I think he’d be a great npc/vendor if Bungie added him in the game.
"They will be told...like this"
2 hour ad about a guy cutting wood
"Do you remember?"
... the 21st night of September?
Yes. It's my birthday.
I dont know whats special a out the 20th oder 21th of september
When I saw the unknown artifact I though to myself: " huh... that thing looks like a mini traveler."
A lot of this makes me think that these Pyramid vessels and the Traveler may originate from the same source, but they have clearly taken diverging and opposed paths.
Honestly....i assumed the artifact was going to be a cube “the pieces are falling into place”
Do you guys remember in the Dendron strike where Sagira and Ghost are talking about when Sagira hijacked Ghost? Ghost said something about feeling dead, and about seeing the Traveler in the darkness and it being small.
@@arnaldorivera1393 good theory
@@arnaldorivera1393 I wrote a Theory on Nightmare Oryx on r/destinylore
Last time I checked, I had 110+ upvotes
Me: oh shit tell us byf, Tell is!
Byf: This story goes like this...
Ad: I’m bout to ruin this man’s whole Career.
Viewers: aww sh*t here we go again
XD these ads though
"Have you ever had a nightmare?" Has so much deeper meaning now. The pyramid was calling out a long time. The man who would become Dredgen Yor was drawn to the moon. Alone, a champion, golden Titan, pillar of the city, plagued by nightmares of a foe he had not yet faced but could not rest or be at ease. I don't think it was just a random witch/wizard tempting Ryzel. I think the Darkness was reaching out, trying to tempt the Light's strongest champions throughout time.
He just found the Hive. Waiting. Festering on the moon.
And considering how the Dreaming city lore tied so many historically important guardians together in the Great Hunt, I think it's entirely probable, and entirely likely that the Darkness used Ryzel's desire to safeguard humanity and prepare them for what's out there to lure him to the moon with the visions of the hive and possibly the Winnower. Especially considering the Lumina quest, and lore.
@My Name is Byf oh! What if the Knight Ryzel fought was a certain Knight mentioned in the collectable lore from Shadowkeep? The one who was wounded and lost part of his arm? The witch in the lore around Dredgen Yor is almost certainly one of the many Deathsingers.
Oh man. Just when I think I'm content with Ryzel and his story Bungie keeps pulling me back in. Ryzel and the tragedy of his Sorrow's Road, the best of us becoming the worst in order to inspire growth and evolution (*cough sword logic cough*) in order for us to be strong enough to face the coming Darkness.
I was gonna play random games tonight but now I'm gonna get on D2 just because I love this universe. Bungie might not always deliver on this or that, but the story. The history. The atmosphere. So good.
Also what if the Pyramind that crashed on the moon is just like how the Traveler hangs low above Earth? What if they're both the last ship of opposite sides of an ancient war? Both were comatose...until we stirred up the dust.
Honestly I find it entirely probably that Yor will return. When Xivu attacks a planet, she incites civil war there first. A war between Guardians and Dredgen would be a big distraction tbh. But this time the Dredgen would be empowered by the full range of Darkness elements. Antimatter, Stasis, and Soulfire

@@TerrariaGolem yeah I member but wish I didn't member.
HAHA I literally said that to myself when he said it.
I love the approach of telling us this lore as if he’s a historian within the universe actually speaking to our guardians.
That's cause he is bro hes secretly a guardian sent back in time to tell us this story
the real holidayxx78 byf is the speaker confirmed
Indeed
ye, Byf does great work indeed, but sometimes I, on the contrary, feel a bit odd about his pitch and seriousness
remember when Sagira puts our ghost to sleep and he says " it was dark, I saw the traveler, and it was so amall.." he saw the artifact??
Luis G Suarez she was probably on crack
I'm fairly sure the Ghost is just joking there since the line it says before that is 'I think I was dead' in a similar, not particularly serious, tone.
A year later we out here wielding Stasis, Lmao!
I am so confused.

Aw. The Garden, I remember everything about the day I was born. Was a Crow till F***** Gatelord unloaded their baby farm on me.
Now Im a Taken Vex😺
just go to the awoken they will fix you
Lol I love this backstory
@@funny.gon-12 very true
Bob is powerful enough to keep his will.
*He Serves the Combat Frames Directly*
(Also, Bob, I see you on the political news channels I watch.)
So what's it like being taken?
Wait....does this mean that perhaps in the future we could actually get Vex allies?! This plot seems a hell of a lot like the Geth-Reaper thing, almost exactly like it actually! O_O
I think fallen allies are more likely.
@@meatylambleg2157 most likely cabal as well
We've got allies in the Fallen and Cabal. Calus has the Crown of Sorrows and Xol feeds off of kills with Whisper, so we have the setup for Hive allies as well. Honestly I'd be surprised if we don't wind up with friendly Vex sooner or later. I'm thinking saving Quira from Savathun might start things off
Jake Dempsey. Yeah none of the enemies are perfect. They all have factions and disagreements. Xol was the weakest worm and feared Oryx and now savathun. It’s now part of our weapon. The vex have an unknown goal for now but not all worship the darkness. The fallen have always been fragmented scavengers after the traveler left them, some were already our buddies. We also have the cabal who for now have shown no ties to the darkness and juts some civil strife. So much potential for the story and lore.
@@jakedempsey3809 friendly vex make sense. as a whole, they aim for a universe without light or dark, only vex. the hive are purely at the whim of the worm gods, except maybe oryx who tried to get rid of his worm
cabal and fallen, sure
Just like the plants, the statue did this to the ice in the Deep Stone Crypt.
Yeppers
A year later this became even more interesting as we're wielding darkness.
I just completed GoS with Shadebinder on and uhhh yeah....
When Byf switched to the view at 13:56 I really wish I could have that as my laptop background. That sight looks beautiful
I've been playing since D1 Y1, and have been watching you since then. Thank you for doing this and devoting your time helping us in the wonderful universe!
Goddam I love how flowing and poetic your writing style is when you do these lore vids. Keep it up man.
When you never have a raid team, but can always count on byf to summarize the story aspects of each raid :)
I always found it amazing that the darkness and those who side with it think they can not lose at all as where on the Light side we know we can lose but fight as hard as we can to win to survive. I noticed it back in D1 but it is even more evident now in D2 and Shadowkeep.
Anyone ever notice the D1 cinematic with the heart, the camera work makes the Heart look like the eye of a Vex Goblin or Hydra and the horizon silhouette the outline of the head?
Woah
What the hell are you talking about? I don't see it at all.
That new track that plays during the jumping puzzle was SO good, almost sounds like it's from Dark Souls!
the darkness wants to be our "salvation", like the reapers in mass effect
I remember standing before that heart and saying: "Your god has arrived abomination, and he is fresh out of mercy."
Brilliant writing and video work as always Byf. Thanks for what you do for the community.
Byf, I love listening to your videos, you have one of the best storytelling voice and style I know of. So EPIC.
great following you since the beginning.
What a presentation, Byf killing it like always!
“Sol Inherent” might mean that they have inherited the darkness, like the sol progeny did in the end of the D1 campaign, but have had more time to ‘mature’ with the darkness inside of them.
JUICE inherent as a word isn’t particularly connected to inherit - despite appearing similar they derive from different Latin root words and have quite different meanings so I doubt that that’s the reason for the name.
I really hope they don't make the Darkness a mustache twirling villain, it should be our equal and thus a truly formidable foe.
what if the darkness just shows up as us again but with literal moustache twirling goodness
Nah, it shouldn't be our equal it should be superior
How about a face swirling villain
Just finished watching the Shadowkeep lore and now this uploads, keep up the good work!
My name is Byf is to Destiny Lore as Morgan Freeman is to narrating. Such a great voice/tone to listen to tell us the lore of Destiny. Love the videos. Keep them coming.
i love that we are getting more vex lore, there is so much i would like to learn abt them
I’m pretty sure that saint 14 will show up this season considering his voice actor is in IMDb for shadowkeep
TheHungaryWaffle Inc. the helmet is in the game already
FryRiceLover no really???
Nice
Came from the future, he is hanging out in the hangar now feeding birds and singing songs with Lord Shaxx
I will come back for this after we finish our blind run raid.
Thanks for your great content as always !
Great video! The production quality is so good!
“Then they will be told like this-“
“WE CAN DO, WE CAN DO, WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT!!!”
Damn byf really just hit us with the "The light is our SALVATION!" **dramatic pause** "Thanks for watch..."
Byf infecting us with the viral chant be like
Thank you for these videos. All of them. So well made
Haven’t seen your content in a while Byf! Good to be back :)
Byf: And at last.. that time.. has come!
*cut off to commercials*
Commercials: “It’s here...”
Some observations I made:
1. In D1, the Sol Progeny were Precursor, Regular, and Descendant because they were trying to assimilate with the darkness across the entire timeline (past, present, future)
2. The “Mesa” in the black garden is actually the stump of a giant tree. It’s pretty obvious with made of wood compared to the materials around it.
Took a break from your videos so that I could experience the story now in playing Destiny. Glad to come back to such a thicc Lore Backlog
Looking forward to more! Great job as usual
The vex still the most mysterious race in the game
They're connected to the darkness
We don't know when or where or how they were born
Yea lore on them is pretty small but very interesting. Wish there was more like factions or info on them like what are the black garden vex cause i dont think the faction is the same as the location .we dont entirely know what they want. We got the precursors who want both light and dark eliminated and while their is no name for them currently there is the vex that served the traveler before the death of the gardener plus we have next to nothing on the gardener. Granted im courious on how Rasputin knows who the gardener is and about the 3 queens makes me think they are having Rasputin be heavily involed in the story later on.
@@deadbeats5640
Isn't the gardener the same as the traveler?
Also curse of osiris didn't disappoint me in it's content as much as it's story
It explain to us nothing about the vex. It didn't even show us much of osiris, we learned about his past in the comics
The campaign was just a new vex that we needed to destroy and they made osiris a bald old man as if we didn't have enough baldness
The only good thing was saint 14, i wish the story focused on him more
@@bandarsalh1338 there was some speculation that the gardener was the traveler but new lore shows that it was a different being weaker then light but stronger then the darkness and was destroyed by the light and the vex took over as new caretakers after being abandoned by the light before being split into factionsj and over run by the darkness .kind of weird how they say light and dark when they actually represent people and not some all being entity.
Yea i wish curse of osirus focused more on other things besides the original vexs or just gave new lore on osirus
Vex's origins (at least how'd they came into our universe) was pretty explained in the Books of Sorrow. Based on information from it I think the Vex were not machines or radiolaria. They were immaterial entities which are inhabited their own realm. When Crota accidentally opened a rift to their realm, the Vex invaded Oryx's throne world. IN this manner the Vex remind me of Riftborn from Endless Space 2 which are also was orginiated from other dimension and upon exiting it took the form of machines and are also can manipulate time.
@@somethingawesome5316
Isn't that just the encounter between the two races?
Amazing job with this video... With the music and all mixing in, such a great video
I really wish we could get another hive raid. I miss the crota raid gear.
Lowkey my favourite set
Your prayers have been answered lol
@@Nosh69696 Well, it’s gonna be a while
Well, whitch queen dlc raid has a good chance of being hive focussed
I always remember that day...
So many memories...
This was the best thing to srice to work to love the content byf
YESSS! Love your videos byf
I’ve been waiting for this!
Magnificent work sir.
Finally! , some sweet byf lore
Beautiful Raid and great video.
If we ever get a chance to side with the darkness and get new powers I’m doing it in a heartbeat
see you on the opposite side of the battle field then 💣
Your wish has been granted
Instant switch
Have fun at the end of the world then we're all gonna do our best to wipe you and Megamind out.
13:34 And then we chose to wield stasis.
Found ypur channel while looking for something else.
Great story telling & great video structure.
Well done.
I subscribed.
Beat it just tonight. I can finally listen to the lore and feel like I actually participated
OMG YESSSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
This channel and Vatti vidya are literal art and therapy lol
Fantastic work mate
I saw an article about byf on the steam page for destiny 2 that's incredible.
man if only D1 was folded into D2 so then 'returning to the Black Garden' actually meant something to PC and New players
Sometimes that happens when people don't play the 1st game in a series.
D1 vet here, played D2 on pc since launch, I agree they need to combine the 2 games into one but it still means something to me if they didn't.
Yaaaaaas. And we would still have all these heavily lore important items like the weapons of Sorrow. Necrocasm and Touch of Malice....my god slayer armor and ornaments....I hope one day they merge them. I'd gladly pay for it just to make Destiny feel like one big world. Sure it would be rad to get it for free if we already own D1, but all the updating and texture swapping and lighting and etc tgey would have to do would be my money well spent tbh.
@@savagewraith be careful what you wish for as it seems either necro-gasm :D or Touch of malice is actually returning as we will need a god slayer at some point this year...
Also it would be cool but think of all the poor console players hahaha, they wouldnt be able to fit it on their drive and Bungie wouldnt be able to release disks big enough to fit it, plus all the stupid backwards compatibility as ps5 and next xbox tba. Fuck console players theyre the reason why we dont have a big world it has to be split up to fit into their disk drives...
Deadly Hippo sometimes, too much of a good thing can be bad.
Great reading like always .
The vex could be made from the Traveler in a dimension where it lost to the Darkness. Everytime I watch a vid it makes me want to play more Destiny. Love the vids Byf!
My question is:
What is the mind doing to that one random Minotaur it is holding at the beginning of the raid?
It’s called Fellatio
The big succ
The moment a vex minotor runs up to me, dabs/graceful sneezes instead of meleeing, is the moment I bow to bungie
"So let me tell you a story..."
Perfect way to open.
Shadowkeep is the best update to come to Destiny 2....also awesome video🤘
Since i’m Here early I thought you might notice this comment. Thank you so much for doing this job and telling me and everyone else on the internet about the lore of the destiny universe! You are what really made me love this universe and franchise!
Thank you, VaatiVidya of Destiny.
Hey Byf, can you do a video covering the Fireteam Kentarch-3 (Garden of Salvation armor/weapon lore) and Praedyth. I would love to hear your thoughts and theories on those topics.
this byf intro had a lot more bass that usual in his voice. that was much more buttery
Really good video!!!!
"And it goes like this..."Sprint ad
Am i the only one who read "The vex found the heart of the black garden" i think about the vex finding the black garden in itself then move in? Like, the black garden was not ALWAYS a vex construct, more like everywhere else we saw them do, they found it then make themself part of it by "merging" with it? (also, the card about the light and darkness is depicted as a gardener and the other (i forgot at this moment)... what if the original tree of silverwing was in the (black) garden and when it died and the darkness took over the garden it became the black garden??)
I remember emptying an island of ammo during that mission good times goooood times
Finally, it has come
Who remembers the black heart fragments you gave to the speaker
aight just beat it time to finally watch
2:07 I felt like Byf was going to sing September by Earth, Wind and Fire at that moment
I really hope we get insight on the kentark 3 that byf mentioned at the ending. They sound like they might be new class or power material presented for future destiny content, as guardians walk the line between dark and light for higher insight and power.
The fireteam could be a hint or a tease to the fact that we might get powers from the Darkness in the future
What's that fireteam called?
Or we already have... What if that fireteam was the guardian guinea pig program?
Tr3y x__7r3da2__ I like your thinking
Nick Travis We don't know, all we know is what Byf said: "A Warlock, A Hunter, and A Titan."
