I think the line "my man oryx" is the best line in any lore book
Ay wassup king dap me up homie! How's the fam? Haven't seen you in a minute bruh!
Right next to Savathun uttering the words 'real humdinger of a plan.'
"My man" is a funny phrase. Because originally it meant a form of servant, one who had pledged to do your bidding and work for you. And now it means a friend, typically one who helps you out with stuff. Which is completely different yet bassically the same.
@@Aulakauss shedidwutnow???
@@Aulakauss "oh good golly, I do say, worm gods, this recent deception of mine is a real humdinger, wouldn't you concur old chaps?"
"They survived by algorithm"
CZcamsrs: Is it possible to learn such power
This made me chuckle lol
Vex: Not from the Light.
@@RoadsOfShadow that explains the popularity of 3:00 a.m. channel. Lol

Not from the traveler
From now on I’m just going to describe the Vex as “aggressive math equations”
So Calculus
Oracle: HOW DARE YOU USE PARACAUSAL POWERS HERE!? * Maths aggressively *
@@connormac4401 nah. It's complex algebraic structures of high calculus origin level 3.
No one:
Vex: *angry addition noises*
i always liked the idea of fallen and cabal as allies, the hive as the villains and the vex are just an aggressive force of nature who fuck over everyone and everything
I think the thing that fascinated me the most about VOG was that your guardian didn't die by stripping of light or ghost death to subsequent guardian death, your guardian died of being erased from time. Imagine if someone was talking about you in the Tower or the city while you're raiding VOG and you're erased, that conversation would either change to another guardian, or wouldn't even happen. A bit crazy, yes?
Hol up wait a minute somthin aint right
Basically Praedyth. Happened with him. It’s why nobody thought he existed but was talked about very few times in their lore and all.
Well if you were erased from time humanity would be dead. Saint-14 wouldn't have been inspired by us to kill more fallen, fallen would've killed humanity. Probably.
@@theolddeus9672 That's why we have to make our own fate.
Who's to say it hasn't? We are the singular, unique Guardian that can weild both light and dark. Each and every one of us that comes along, until we are not
I almost spat up my cofee when Byf read the line "like my man Oryx". I love the fact that the darkness refers to Oryx like a surfer talking about one of his bros.
Surfer King
Ayyy wassup king! How's the fam? Haven't seen you in a minute g!
Either that or like a BF

For those of us whom did the heroic variant of that mission know the truth... #PraedythLives
He is still out there haunting the vex.
Yeah I missed the heroic version somehow
"Tell them I lived, tell them..." still haunts me to this day.
In a way he does, just as Saint does
Which mission?
To quote cayde 6 - "there's also going to be a ton of loot"
YEAHHHHHHH
Cayde 🥺
@@FM39__ We cannot be sad. We own DSC and Cayde's mind engram is intertwined with Zavala's Mixtape.
*YES*
Do you think there gonna add the secret 5th chest back???
I will forever hold my personal headcanon that the first raid team to go into the Vault was comprised of six Guardians. It could easily be just a misinterpretation of the leftover ghost shells; they could all in theory be Praedyth’s from different timelines or just stray Guardians. I’ve always thought it was strange that we had to find three ghost shells in addition to Praedyth’s. But my rationale at that point is that 3 of their 6 were victims of the Oracles/Gorgons and were erased. Not even Pahanin remembers them.
After thinking about Kabyr’s line “The needle is the will of Atheon, I do not know the name of the shape that comes after,” and realized that Atheon and the vault aren’t trying to weave the vex into and through time. He’s trying to weave time into the vex
Oh yeah, it's big brain time
Thats what i was thinking. Like hes the glue to hold their desired timelines??? I dont know if that makes sense but its what came to mind when i read it
@@killingtime4444 I think it's more that Atheon is there to make all the time lines have a similar result. So once they find a timeline where the desired result happens, Atheon is the one who tries to apply that result to all timelines. That would explain why it would need the ability to freely move through time and simultaneously cause things to cease to exist. If you have the ability to move through all timelines as well as move backwards and forwards through time, it'd be pretty simple for you to pluck the "weeds" keeping them from their goal. Probably why the vault of glass is so important. It's essentially the "ship" that allows for him to travel through time in a similar way to how we garudians travel between planets. Without it, the infinite forest would mean nothing.

I've head a little rumour about Wyverns this season. This is from the Forbes website, by their usual Destiny informer Paul. Apparently, Wyverns are going to be joining in the fun of the raid Vault of Glass. And when I mean 'fun', I mean them finding it fun as you are yeeted halfway across the room before slaming into a wall. Don't know where or when they will appear in the raid, but they will be there. Add the addition of champions in definitely the harder version, as well as maybe appearing in the normal version, of the raid and you'll get the enjoyment of D1 AND D2, all in one raid. ENJOY!
i like to think that veteran guardians teach kinderguardians sometimes and when they just don't feel like teaching they put on one of byf's videos
Like magic school bus or brain pop 🤣
Bill Nye
Kinderguardians hahah thats perfect
Never let a titan teach a class alone, they may end up eating all the crayons
@@Kaboom0 thats why we leave the teaching to the warlocks.
I know a lot of ppl don't like them cuz they're faceless but the Vex have always been my favorite enemy. The concept of what they are and what they can do is fascinating and VOG is still the best example of how dangerous they really are. REALLY excited for this season
Yeah I'm psyched asw
I have never heard someone say that they don't like the vex because they are faceless, and I have been here since launch
I don't don't like them because they are faceless.
I don't like them because their crit spot is so hard to hit.
@@xarm23 bro the crit spot is a literal Giant milk juice box on their stomach
@@arandomwarlock7414 I know. And unless they are looking right at you and not doing their stupid goblin crouch, it's basically impossible to hit.
In general things to know:
1. The Lore
2. The Mechanics

So true. This has to be the #1 tip when getting sherpa'd, even if you constantly die
@@5amu22 “okay so now we have to stand in a triangle and shoot each other, don’t know why.”

“Dope, so you know how the mechanics work?”
Absolutely not. What part of her do we shoot?

The darkness is always hiding something, if it wasn’t you would be able to see in it
Man that's surprisingly deep for some dude on the internet
The same can be said about the light aswell
night vision goggles in destiny when
Light is equally blinding. Ever heard of a flashbang grenade?
Only a balance of light and dark can reveal the truth.
Day 1: it has been thousands of guardians. I saw them just vanish before my eyes....the darkness had found us in our most sacred place. The loading screen. One by one guardians vanished from the queue never to be seen
Cosmic Gamer Congratulations, you've just gave Bungie their idea of how Lightfall will end!
did they un-nerf sturm's mag/damage boost from drang kills?
@@DE0.01 I understand that reference. Would be funny though that the thing that kills off humanity would be their past creations from before they collapsed.

@@dankerbell Never doubt the power of edge lords, they're usually as powerful as the main character, if not more.
What if they let him escape because every timeline they saw he was killed shortly after.
What i need to know about VoG - there’s probably some shiny stuff there
The shiniest!
Found the Hunter main
Possibly some glass here and there
@@Sero4 🤣
Or some insight on the traveler or the darkness
If Kabr, Pahanin, and Praedyth found out what powers the Vex have in the Vault, but they still existed themselves, could it be that their original fireteam was more than just 3, and the other members were erased? Perhaps that left the remaining three with only vague memory of company and dread of Vex's control in the Vault
Oh. OH. OH!
Would explain why they ran a raid with seemingly only 3 members, even in the original raid on Crota with Eris they were smart enough to bring a team of six.
Well the Kentarch - 3 went to the Black Garden with 3 people but i would think that it would make sense that Praedyths fireteam would have 6 members
...this is too good to not be true. And best part, it's vex, even if it wasn't true then, they can decide it is now.
Same thought
17:57 The scariest/ most disturbing part about the Vex simulating every timeline that could ever exist, Elsie Bray aka The Exo Stranger, is reported to be in *every single one of those timelines*
something to watch and learn as i sit in queue
Me too but logged in now so Byf is on pause.
Same
If the first assault on the Vault was truly Osiris's idea, then Sagiras line from back in Curse of Osiris gain more depth - "You cant blame yourself for every missing guardian, Osiris."

Hey Byf, just wanted to say thank you for all the lore that you help us understand so we can have a fun game be so much better than any other I’ve played. I hope you have a great day and you stay safe!

As a Destiny Vet, I can't wait to bully Atheon for the 1001th time.
@@ClaimerofLoot6942 honestly same. And here's to bullying him another 1001 times
Damn, lore wise you woke up at the shittiest time XD
I was also new in the red war when the game came out
11:47
That goblin was just saying "hi"! You didn't have to be so rude and kill the poor thing. It was probably just looking for a friend because it was lonely.
i just realised that every time a team does a raid, its enforcing the sword logic bc if the team fails they were the weaker option and following the pattern, deserve to die. If the team wins they have performed every pattern correctly and therefore deserve to vanquish the final foe and reap the rewards of their own might
Oryx pretty much forced you to embrace sword logic in kings fall
that would be true if anyone was able to solo the raid. funny enough only crotas end and kings fall final boss were soloed and both are hive raids.
@@lolosh99 Esoteric is the true sword logic I see 💀

*"Guardians make their own fate!"*

The darkness calling oryx "my man"
Kabr sounds too smart to be a crayon eating titan 😅
Just a Vex Milk drinking one.
I worry about Drifter, putting Vex Milk in his coffee, dreaming about cooking and eating Vex…
I feel like this is what veteran Warlocks are actually like in the game’s universe
The fact of the Darkness calling Oryx, "My man" makes me think of that one TSLAYP with the halloween one with the homie. Lol
Atheon could calculate everything except how not to fall from a cliff.
It's always a pleasure to hear your voice explain stuff I'm far too lazy to read
s o o t h i n g
I wouldn't surprised if before this channel he was a professional audiobook narrator
I still believe that Atheon is a prisoner in his own realm and hated the idea of vex worshipping the darkness.
Wait. Good guy?
Yea, all vex are scared and do not worship the darkness, except for the Sol Divisive
Yea the vex are at war with the sol division

All we need is your warlock and a blackboard-
Byf had an excellent story telling voice, so good that this video put me to sleep and I almost missed my final exam because of it.
Take a drink whenever Byf says "time itself"
I have a serious question: We always say that what the Darkness says is untrustworthy, but if we received messages from the Traveler, we would trust them? and should we?
yes because the traveler doesn't think everyone should die because we're all gonna die and murders innocent races to prove that point
You make a good point, but also
The traveller
- Gave us a golden age
- Extended our lifespans
- Has protected us from various threats
- Has gifted us with powers
- Gave us cute ghost companions to hang out with
The darkness
- Has admittedly given us powers (Sort of)
- Has tried to fuck us over various times
- Powers up all our rivals
- Uses the sword logic
- Is basically represented by the Witness (Who wants to fuck us up)
- And is known to corrupt people using what they desire most
So... Y'know. Maybe a little untrustworthy compared to the traveller
@@hazeltree7738 We have learnt that the Darkness is not really an entity, but another governing force inside the Destiny 2 universe. If the Darkness (not the Witness, the Darkness itself) spoke to us, I'd trust it as much as if the Traveller spoke to us.
Guardians make their own fate.
As 6 missile titans come crashing down on a poor transparent Minataur.
I'm gonna cry when that message pops up again
The “lore voice of velvet” power to put me to sleep is indeed powerful. I enjoy your videos and I love learning more lore, but your voice is so soothing I almost fell asleep at work.
Y'know, part of me wonders if there was actually six who went down into the vault alongside Kabr, Praedyth, and Pahanin, but they... y'know... got wiped from existence. Three other guardians who "never existed" yet stood shoulder to shoulder with three who did. Makes me shudder to think about it.
My favorite part of the story of the original raid on the Vault of Glass is that it is assumed that the original fire team actually had 6 members like any other raid. But sadly the other 3 were erased by the oracles and so we have no memory of them ever existing unlike the other 2 fallen members of that failed raid, Pradyth and Kabr
Wow I've never really thought about this. It makes a lot of sense and is really frightening
No one talking about how his Sturm has over 90 overcharges :')
Thought I was the only one, but I'm alone no longer
that's not that uncommon
My first clan was VOG Dwellers. I met a random guy on the Destiny forums discussing potential VOG secrets and how we might find them. Close to ten years later, and that guy I met on the forums is like a brother to me and we still play games multiple times a week. The final secret came out in the VOG, and we didn't discover it, but I'm still glad it was found. I might be a little upset that it was in a story mission, though
I had to take a second look at that “my man oryx” caught me off guard was playing the new season listening to this and that happens and this is in the lore
Finished VOG for the first time last night. Listened to this this morning and now the raid makes sense to me. Interesting how it is we get the shield
can’t wait to hear about all of the new season lore!

i love that ive been watching byf since TTK and when he said D1 vets will know the names of the OG fireteam in the vault i had shivers down my spine and i hope all D2 players new to the vog understand how DEEP the lore goes
"I think i have a paradox in my vault" sjdsjsh.
I would love to know more about the hunter who ran away from the vault of glass and what happen with him. Do the city believe that he or she just got insane? do the hunter drift with paranoia and guilt? LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!
Very hyped to play VoG for the first time! So glad I get to know the lore beforehand too. Thank you, and amazing as always Byf
The background Venus music is so nostalgic. Vault Of Glass is by far the most immersive Raid for me. Even with 6 players you still feel isolated and alone.
Ahh yes the good ole days in D1. This video right here is why VoG will forever be my favorite raid. Just dealing with the oracles scared tf outta me. Always thinking “plz no eraes me frum tiem”
Maybe it's just me, but Patternfall reads a bit like Lovecraft to me. The mood, sentence construction and word usage is quite reminiscent of Lovecraftian texts and if there is a connection, that can add extra spiciness to the Vex lore.
“Praedyeth’s Timepiece” was the name of the legendary raid pulse rifle and I’ll never forget it. It was an arc damage pulse rifle with a hellava hair trigger. It was not “No time to explain.”
“No Time to explain” is an exotic that’s from “Elsie Bray” also known as “The Stranger” in Destiny one. The rifle she wielded was called “The Stragers Rifle” which you received after completing Destiny 1’s campaign. It didn’t become “No time to explain” until after either “The Taken King” or “Rise of Iron.
I could be wrong on the installment but that I’m absolutely on point with Praedyth’s Timepiece. That gun was so vicious they didn’t even put it in the D2 version of VOG. Lol.
The Darkness saying “My Man Oryx” made it for me 😂😂
So who else remembers Byf’s video on the Vault from years ago? Man that’s still my favourite raid lore video
VoG and Byf videos are what sunk the hooks of Destiny deep into all those years ago in year 1
7:58 Wow, that was quite the yeet that Wyvern did there. XD
Byf fighting boss fight from the right hand side when I just see groups doing left. True revolutionary
Ok I have a lore vid request. Can we have like check ins with how the eliksni are integrating with humanity because the exotic sparrow in the season pass has a wholesome interaction between Amanda and a vandal
That pool analogy was genius! I love these videos.
I wish you uploaded these to Spotify. Would be good to listen while I'm driving.
this vid makes me so jelly of the Eyes Rocket Launcher!
When mentioning multiple "no time to explain"s dont forget the "fate of all fools" scout
Ngl, hearing Eye of the Gate Lord start about 2/3 in brought a smile to my face
I cannot wait for VOG to return. I never forgot VOG. It was amazing and a event that changed my life.
May 22nd can't come soon enough 🤩🤘
C tier raid in terms of mechanics
S+ tier raid in terms of experience and memorable events
The writers at bungie must really love Dan Simmons and Ian M Banks. Vex are similar to the Technocore from Hyperion in many ways. I adore this type of creative storytelling.
Byf, I hope you are rocking the “Chronicler” title in D2. Thanks for what you do!
I've only just noticed recently that Atheon actually has parts of him made out of glass
wtf that's like his entire design
@@dankerbell yeah but i was baby monke brain when i first played destiny and had no idea how to raid, but now i am smart enough to understand mechanics even though vog mechanics are pretty simple, but never mind that, the point is I had no idea he was made partly of glass.
Yup, got YT premium just to listen to Byf videos while having my phone in my pocket at work. AMA.
Vog is, put simply, Vex place with timeline control. Of course, there are lots of Vex too.
Watch out for a flashbang at 29:02! Good to know it's not just me that gets blinded every time.

I think Paradox will always be my favorite mission in all of Destiny. Love that all of this is coming back now
This is one of the best videos you’ve made, Byf; You are an incredible narrator for incredibly rich lore
I love that the Vex are basically just the end state of a universe without Space Magic.
I love the fact the Darkness refers to Oryx as "my man"
Praedyth always intrigued me, even back in Destiny 1.
haven't watched in awhile, dam I forgot how ASMR Byf's voice is!
What's kinda sad is the vault is, to this day!, the only raid i've EVER completed
I had to do a double take on the literal embodiment of darkness saying “my man oryx”
“If nobody got our back, we know my man oryx got our back” - the Witness
I remember grinding d1 hard to get level 25 so we could enter the VOG, was level 23 on venues fan boy helping another team open the gate and followed them in. Got lost & crushed by the Gorgons. Starting to feel that tingle for some Destine2.
you're killing it with the uploads, byf
also something you missed, (or just didn't mention) is that awoken are a little paracausal too. They also have tech that is highly paracausal like the oracle engine, whose core was created by the mysterious beings called the ancients.
The vault of glass unlocks on my birthday!
My head canon is that the first team to assault the Vault of Glass was actually 6, but 3 of them got erased from the timeline. The first raid into the Hellmouth has six guardians, afterall
Considering some of the guns has quotes with no name attached to them this seems right.
Kentarch 3 fireteam entered Garden of Salvation as only 3 guys
Byf: "It's something that listeners of this channel know intimately. Say it with me:"
Me: "Savath- Paracausality, yeah"
"Kabr and Pahanin, Praedyth and the Vault of Glass. Because of you, his tale will be told.

As someone who has played since the Destiny 1 beta and to this day has never completed more than a single raid encounter, 4 man gauntlet in Leviathan, I look forward to finding a team to take on the raid that I always wanted to do. So much hype for VoG, thanks for the video Byf it was amazing as the always are.
