Thank you for this.

Thanks!
Can we get a round of applause for this guy?
I was unaware that that was the case for mobile viewers! Thanks! Pinning your comment!
Wow, I see what you're doing, trying to pass the 10 minute mark for ads
smh
@Companion: Lol I think he set a record on that account.
Jeez there was so much unneeded filler
@Horses in the Back hes joking lol
@Horses in the Back my guy it was a joke
Bungie should give him the in game title of "lorekeeper"
That a understatement, his title should be, lore nut master.
or “the great mind” would be cool

Hearing about the Titan legends in detail nearly made me shed a tear. I have never been so proud to have chosen the crayon eaters as my most valued class.
😭😂😂😂
I was a warlock in D1 and Titan in D2
Damn bro😂
I main warlock and like what comes with that but my secondary character has been and always will be Titan. Their lore is sick af and playing it also just feels good lol. I have all 3 classes but I don't play Hunter much
Crayon eater club les gooooo
I kinda hope Byf does something like this after Final Shape to cover the entire Light vs Darkness saga but it’d probably be 10+ hours long.
I’d still watch it.

Mike Willis or cursed thrall
Mike Willis I think you mean a magic trick.

So basically, everything in Destiny happened because Taox decided to assassinate Arch Duke Franz-Ferdinand...
Interesting
i mean...you're not wrong
I'm not so sure about the comparison.
For one, Franz-Ferdinant, was only heir to the throne, not emperor.
Also, comparing Taox with Princip is giving Princip too much credit. He was just a little shit with ultra nationalist delusions, a very limited understanding on what was going on and a desire to become famous before dying from TB.
He was pissed about a habsburg coming to sarajevo on that particular day. And so he - a ultra nationalist wishing for serbias autonomy - desicided that the most reasonable course of action would be to kill not only the heir to the throne of austria-hungary, but also the closest thing to a sypathiser the serbs had at court...
@@Bird_Dog00 ok dude relax it was just a joke
Omegalul
Bird_Dog there’s always at least one kill joy
We should start a petition where we ask Bungie to work together with Byf to create a Historian/Lorekeeper character in the last city that shares all of this in-game, using the voice-over of Byf with additional/recycled story cutscenes of Bungie.
Or a way to complete unfinished lore books via a quest of some way
Great idea Darth Pooh 👍
That would imply Bungie paying Byf for his work. Do you think a company that scrapes the bottom of the barrel for money by selling access to dungeons separately from $50 expansions want to spend any more money? Yeah, didn't think so.
@@ethreix800 yeah + the deleted major campaigns already.
Genius
I come back here every now and then. Not to listen to Byf’s silky smooth, accent narrate the story, in a compelling way to fall to sleep. But to be enthralled all over again by the captivating story of Destiny and its universe. There is potential here for spin off shows, books, more comics, and maybe a movie. I look forward to Byf’s updated: “The complete story of Destiny”, video in the near future. It’s meant to cover the whole Light vs Dark saga, all in time to lead up to the Final Shape.
Speaker dies: well no one can speak for the traveler
Byf: my time has come

I was wondering why he hasn’t been uploading.
I watched this whole video while I waited for a game of crucible to start. Amazing video by the way.
I feel this all too well
Lol! Then when I finally load in, Destiny servers decide to kick me out of the game.
Felt that
Oof
ive been watching while waiting for the edz to load this is my 3rd time through
I’d love if we could get a part 2 of this from shadowkeep onwards ❤
Agreed, so much good stuff has come out since then, especially now that Lightfall is close to release
he will 100% have one ready for before final shape but he is probably waiting for all 4 seasons to be done to release a full coverage.
He will probably make a new one with all the new tidbits we know (like how there was no God Wave, but rather that is was a trick to get the Hive into serving the Witness)
Why so much cheaters in this game not good for new gamers 😢😢😢
This video is truly Byf’s master stroke! The captivating narration, the use of visual aids to bring the story and world to life. For a game that’s noted: “there is no story”, Byf has done the game justice by piecing the together the enticing lore.

with the majority of planets and quests being completely gone now, this has been the only way ive been able to catch up on lore.
havent played since The Taken King, so this is super helpful.
insane work. loved every minute of it!
How can this story not bring you back. Destiny is truly easily one of the top 10 best games ever made. There’s no other game like it.
@@IlIlIUnknownadventurer HA!
@@HumansFreshlyBorn great argument, buddy🤣
2:20:50 I absolutely adore the way he describes our Athlon encounter. Using a small line that just mean damage is starting but it makes our guardians out as such badasses. I love it
Edit to spellcheck and add a timestamp for you folks.
1:58:32 “to allow other guardians to train by fighting each other”
Shaxx: “YOUR ENEMY CAN’T KILL YOU IF THEY’RE DEAD HAHA”
i heard that plenty of times while getting recluse
Shaxx: "Good. NOW KILL THEM AGAIN"
the best thing is when you kill the enemy team by being the last guy alive in yours "WHAAAAAAT? HOW!!!!!!!" reminds me and my friends when we die :P
ASK YOURSELF, DID YOU THROW ALL THE GRENADES YOU COULD?

Bruh I woke up today and my phone was hot asf bc this video started on automatic mode and it was left just 20 minutes of the video
Rip phone but this is a great video
Apparently, Radaghast, one of the first Lightbearers to coin the term “Guardian”, was the catalyst that shaped the foundation of what Guardians (whether we wield the Light or Darkness against our enemies) would be. He once had a sword, with a legend ingrained within it as legendary as Excalibur. Imagine how poetic it would be for us to reforge the blade, and if it were used to stab and kill the Witness? I do hope Byf creates another timeline video for the light and dark saga. This game deserves a series encompassing this saga, or at least showing us the origins and spin off stories of Destiny’s most iconic legends: Cayde-6, Mara Sov, Ikora Rae, Zavala, Rasputin, the Hive siblings, etc.
...Vexcalibur...
Why so much cheaters in this game not good for new gamers 😢😢😢
Just as I’m about to get chronicler I see that this is dropping
“*chuckles* It’s all coming together”
Is chronicler easier to be or dregen
@@doriancardenas4430 Dredgen is more common, not necessarily easier depending on your skills at invading. Chronicler is a long grind (Truth to power book takes 30 weeks minimum atm, may be less once SK drops), but there's less skill involved (although you need the mote thief triumph, which is a bit of skill/luck)
*Oh yeah. It's all coming together.*
Phil Nault so chronicler is the most dedicated and the hardest to be
Dorian cardenas Simply put Dregen is the quickest Seal to get. Chronicler is practically a timegate Seal. There is no other way to speed the process of getting it because it isn't dependant on skill level.
"The titanic worm god roared above us and..."
Died in 15 seconds lmao
Whisper of the worm bro that’s what I’m talking about
non-ascendent realm Oryx was pretty easy too
Only thing that lets it live so long is it refuses to come down and have a taste of our sword logic.
And by sword logic I mean of course: Spin to Win
Some sort of raid would have been far better than those 2 stupid strikes that we have now.
@@darthmaul3998 killing xol with the Whisper is kind of a paradox
I love how much of the lore is from records from various civilizations in the destiny universe so it is realistic how much we can possibly learn about the lore similar to the people in destiny
Thank you byf, Tulus and Moncus, absolutely loved it! As a returning player this helped me tremendously and refreshed my memory of all the amazing adventures I went on in this game. Thank you
Someone: Destiny has no story
Byf: hold my lore
who. the. fuCK. WOULD. SAY. D EST I NY. HAs N o LoR E!
@@jebblottin92 I know that was the point of my post lol most people wouldn't piece it together therefore they say it has no story. Then comes Byf
@@zerot3ch234 yup even lately I've heard it has no story like um no it was there even in D1 just wasn't told the way people wanted it to be it's was actually complicated not just thrown in your face in full
P.B.Q: purposely bad quality alot of people
Destiny’s is shit because it fell into the trap a lot of these “live service” games do:
They assume that if you make a ton of lore it can replace having a proper story. Also it assumes it can tell you how to feel even though it has zero intrigue and charisma.
And while there are games that do this, Dark Souls comes to mind, it only gets away with it because you have your own personal story in it. No amount of lore is going to make up for the fact that you are supposedly the “chosen one” doing a dumb emote dance in hot pink armor in a social area with a bunch of other “chosen ones” who mow down hordes of aliens before breakfast making you wonder how the hell we got our ass kicked in the first place.
And I largely blame a vast majority of this on the idea that someone thought unironicly, “You know what gamers like to do? READ.”
Imagine being a teen in the golden age like “mom I’m taking a day trip to Venus with the boys”
“Ayo wanna hang out in mars?”
“Nah, too hot, wanna go to Europa”
“Are you crazy?! You wanna get sick?!”
“Good point, wanna go to Nessus?”
“Looks good, wait for you at 10?”
“Nah, my mom wants me to get some groceries from Mercury by 11. Does 7 sound good?”
“Sounds good, wait for ya there!”
Guardians: do all this shit for the protection of the city.
Random kid in the city: opens 5th bag of Doritos
Ditchlasagna _ too hot? It’s millions of miles farther from the son than earth mars is far from hot
Twinborn Wheel39 think of it as a bakery oven
Me and the boys chillin on Io
I guess my subconscious got to learn about the full story of destiny bc this is NOT what i fell asleep too 😂😂
Recently did a school project on the history of saint 14, going into the wiki article for him I realized I could do so much more. I dove into the motivations behind the fallen, the antics of the vex, the battle of 6 fronts. The lore is so well constructed it’s fantastic, can’t wait to see more of it going forward.
dayum, i need context for this school project bro, was it for Philosophy class or something ?
Can't wait for Destiny 7 when Byf explains the relationship between Crota's step-daughter & the 3rd cousin of Savathun's next door neighbour's cat's previous owner :D
@SNIP3R SN3K
Yeah, now that Bungie's a free bird, they intend to press on with improving on D2
JustAnotherGaian Can’t wait! This game was held down a ton
Dredgen Anguis yeah they’re basically just gonna turn Destiny 2 into Destiny 3 and all the things they had planned for Destiny 3 is just gonna go into Destiny 2 instead
I don’t like how Bungie is just expanding Destiny 2 all the time. Just make a new game lol
Phillip Dzierbun they explain their reasoning and it’s honestly a really good reason
They said that making a Destiny 2 instead of just expanding Destiny 1 was a mistake, and they aren’t trying to make that mistake again. They don’t want to break the community up again and just want to focus on one game so the community can remain together and so that players won’t have to start over yet again and can just keep working on their current characters
They also cited how Destiny 2 was shit on launch and took over a full year to become good and they’d also rather not have that happen again and would just like to work with the game that’s already good to keep us the players happy
And they have a way to combat Destiny 2 from having too much content due to this aswell with the introduction of the Destiny Content Vault coming whenever Beyond Light drops, where they’re gonna start vaulting/unvaulting content so they can make room to expand and also just clear space so the download isn’t so big for so much unused content like for example the Warmind campaign has only been 0.3% of player’s played activities during the season and yet is 5% of the game’s download so why keep it
Also unvaulting does include Destiny 1 content, as they’ve stated that along with vaulting things like Mars, Mercury, Titan, and Leviathan they’re also going to unvault the Cosmodrome along with all of it’s strikes and stuff and also the Vault Of Glass raid will be unvaulted too
Sir Byf. I just want to say THANK YOU. You go above and beyond not only with your videos, but what you do for charity.
You are a beacon of light in this community and I respect the world out of you.
sup bless!
I second that Bless. We appreciate you Byf.
I think you mean "beacon of THE light" lol
Love seeing other content creators jocking each other’s stuff. This is a great community. Can’t wait for Tuesday.
@@LordBruuh To be fair you aren't in the destiny community of you don't know who bless datto Mr fruit mtash khakis and byf are.
I feel one think people haven’t praised enough about this video is that they made complete subtitles for a 4 hour lore recap, the effort put into this is unimaginable.
I haven't played D2 regularly since Forsaken, but God I love the lore of this franchise. Thank you as always Sir Byf, you are the undisputed king of lore.
Wow, two hours in, how far are we into the game's story?

Welcome to Destiny
Where our destiny started with some hungry brats
@@trololopez2437 And some talking worms.
な6IXLXRD and some pretty weak inter dimensional gummy worms
That's one of the actual video games biggest problems. Virtually none of this is contextualized or has influence over the game or it's narrative. Most of the cool stuff has already happened and very little of your efforts you participate in have widespread effects on the world.
Why so much cheaters in this game not good for new gamers 😢😢😢😢
Xol lived hundreds of millions of years ago, just to be killed in seconds, and shoved into a sniper rifle? Nasty way to go.
Yeah watching this video it occurred to me that we are literally running out of Hive characters to kill.
@@harrywagstaff6331 well I mean all that's left is the worm gods, xivu atath and children, and savathun
Shinx990 xol isn’t dead if you listen to some of Tolands talks in the ascendant plane he says something along the line of “did you get tricked by the worm on mars, did you really think it would be that easy to kill what the hive call god”
@@jd_less1694 we haven't killed him in his throne world so he isn't dead
RPooL Gaming xol doesn’t have a throne world, none of the worms do they don’t practice sword logic. Oryx and the hive practice sword logic you can only have a throne world by killing and becoming stronger the worms don’t kill they form a symbiotic relationship with hive giving them power
Just started a new job in an office and I swear to God there's nothing better than destiny lore while getting through mountains of paperwork. Thank you Byf for doing the amazing job you do, there's nobody better at lore content.
2:38:50.
The most badass Cayde-6 moment.
new players don't even know him, let alone know how he got guardians on Oryx's ship to get the raid unlocked.
Imagine Cayde-6 dying 💀

For a God-King, we really bullied the shit out of Oryx.. Imagine how he felt, having to climb up to show himself everytime he hears another fireteam stomping into his place
“Aw shit, here we go again”
"gosh another one with ghallahorn of where do they get this freaking things"

Just watched this in it's entirety in one sitting. It was fantastic! The amount of work put into this is impressive to say the least. I believe I actually started playing right after where this ends. So it's perfect!
Huge thanks to Capt. Tulus, Moncus and Byf for this.
I listened to this while i went to sleep and i fr saw a dream about this i pictured everything while you told this lore. I dont know how my brains can listen to this whilr im asleep.

Shout out to everyone involved in the creation of this incredible piece of media. I would be utterly lost and devastatingly unentertained without the unique effort that you have all come together to put into this video.
Destiny has AMAZING lore. I've never, ever, seen a game with such incredible story.

bloodbourne and dark souls have amazing lore as well, tho much harder to figure out (without vaatividya lol)

“She killed him. But Oryx did not die!”
Were you killed?
Sadly, yes. BUT I LIVED!

Mammoth noises
Absolutely Poetic! Byf, you remain a legend and pillar for the destiny Community. The effort you have put into destiny lore over the years is astounding. Thank you for always bringing us content that you pour your heart and soul into. You have truly defined mine, and I’m sure many others, experience within the destiny universe. ❤️
I'm glad you did the newer beginner's guide videos, it definitely serves as a good primer for those of us who have little knowledge of Destiny's story. Now I feel much more equipped to dive into this huge tome. It the sheer density of information in the first 20 minutes alone is astounding. Thanks for all the work you do Byf!
The Speaker: "I could tell you... But that's a job for Lore Master Byf."
This is perfect lol
u know he dead right?
@@Mudig I'm guessing you didn't play the first game? lol
remember when they tried to do a jumpscare with a single dreg at the first ever mission of d1?
ahhhhh good ol'
While d1 isnt and never was scary. It was still creepier then d2
Br0k3nn yeh and that shit scared 8 year old me
Greg the dreg. Always trying to scare us.
It scared 10 year old me so bad I didn't play for two months
That fuckin dreg scared me tho
I did watch this video. ALL OF IT.
I'm really amazed how everything I played between destiny 1 and 2 was played right before me. so many memories of D1 hit me hard. thank you, all of you for making this video
Why so much cheaters in this game not good for new gamers 😢😢😢😢
As a day 1 player who stopped playing only to come back a year or 2 later, I just want to say thank you. Im glad I watched this whole refresher and back to playing a game that consumed my high school days. Much love Byf and welcome to new guardians
“Eyes up, guardian” has never been more literal. Gotta chug that caffeine bc this’ll be a long video
Qwerty Bastard I do cocaine
@@CaptainPilipinas next year it's gonna be 5 hours long lol
The chad "Eyes up Guardian" VS the virgin "You're finally awake" , am i right?
oryx: The only ones that can kill me are those who possess more knowledge of the universe than me or some clever trap
Guardians: haha Gjallarhorn go brrrrrrrrrrrr
lmaooo
OMG LMFAO 🤣🤣
Haha you as an immortal gun go brrr
But you dont use gjallarhorn for oryx
@@RilandCulpepper buzzkill
I started D1 in the year D2 came out. I never got past the black garden so really bittersweet to see how much I missed. What an epic masterpiece you have here
every once in a while i would watch this video from the beginning till the end again and again, the voice and the story telling of this man never cease to amaze me, not once, 10/10 story telling.
“Eris’ Fireteam would know some measure of peace.”
Shadowkeep: “Allow me to introduce myself.”
Plot twist: its just a really long ad for shadowkeep
Plot twist destiny is just a raid shadowlegends advertisement
Before we get to Raid Shadow Legends, I would like to tell you about Raid Shadow Legends
I'm new light but played d1 with no dlcs I'm proud to be 960 on 2 characters and legend in glory
@@andrewdduvall1 same I got Luna's howl and nf on my first month solo
This is by far one of the best videos made for a game, so detailed so well produced and a great narrator! well done to everyone involved.
Came back here after Bfy’s 1 million subscriber video. His voice is so captivating, he truly beings the universe of Destiny to life. I look forward to his recap of the entire story of the Light vs Dark saga in the near future. Every great story needs a great storyteller.
The hive : Literal gods that can break the laws of physics, ascend to higher dimensions and wipe out entire civilizations
Humans : *Kills them with small metal projectiles*

small metal projectiles AND GJALLARHORNS BOI
Humanity's greatest strength , belief that if you put enough firepower down range anything can be destroyed

It's a Surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
It's treason, then.
It's not a story the Vanguard would tell you.

I’ve recommended this video to people and some of them have purchased the game just because of how cool the lore is. Me and my buddy were just talking about how we’d totally watch an anime series of Destiny. Each section could be an arc of the show. Sort of like a limited series. I think with modern animation and the same voice actors it would be pretty good.
But.. it’s free to play?
I have watched many lore videos about destiny that are hours long but this one is my all time favourite. I would love to see a new one with the current information that we have. I watched it 3 years ago and I was as amazed back then as I am right now. Love your vids!
The speaker : *dies*
Byf : It's free real estate
Dark
Call dibs on all of his Scrolls recordings
Byf is infinitely more useful than the speaker frankly we lost nothing with his death.
Dream146 thats not saying much lol speaker didnt do jack shit. After watching this entire video I realized that the speaker literally didnt ever do anything useful
I fell asleep with my phone on while watching music videos and woke up 2 hours into the entire Destiny story line. Wtf
Perfectly balanced as all things should be.
The question is, are you a destiny fan now?
Thank your Ghost for that
Good thing that can't happen to me coz my phone would have died before CZcams played the next video.
Lol
Huge KUDOS to all of you guys involved in creating this! It was awesome to learn all of this and to do this in one sitting :D I am patting myself on the back as we speak ^^
Much love once again!
Getting back into Destiny after being off for years. So confused.. going through this video and it’s a HUGE help in terms of figuring out what’s going on in the story. Appreciate the work!
Every time with hive/the darkness
"Hey kiddo, you know that big boss baddie who also happens to be A GOD you just killed?"
"Yeah, he's just a baby compared to [Bigger power we will soon hear about]
Hive have secretly been watching Dragon Ball and got inspired
In the words of the esteemed Qui Gon Jin, "There's always a bigger fish."
Sounds very much like cayde
*thinking over the aforementioned* ..., yeah. Good point.
Erismorn : 911
Zavala : 911 how can I help you?
Eris morn : moons haunted
Zavala : 200000 guardians en route to your position
Also zavala:it may crash our steam servers though
Hana Mizuno and our console servers as well.
*World ending super AI awakening*
Zavala : I sleep
*Moon is spook*
Zavala : ALL GUARDIANS, THIS IS URGENT
lol, add another zero my dude. Destiny had 2.6 MILLION players a couple days ago
Focus Support pls Pretty sure the Darkness is a way bigger threat than Rasputin though sooo
Just noticed at 3:53:26 you can see the Savathuun Witch Queen logo inside the crown of sorrow
Thanks Byf, I played D2 until forsaken and never played D1 so this has helped a lot now that I've just gotten back into the game (even if I need to start from scratch because I missed the battlemet transfer)
I've never really thought about it, but after watching this I realised Destiny would make one hell of a movie series.
Only if it was written by the marvel writers. They're the only ones who seem to write good storylines for movies.
I honestly feel like this could be the new age star wars.... and they can use Byf to tell it
@@Shadowsoken that would be way to generic? Marvel movies are designed to appeal to the mass audience to make more $$$$.
Destiny's lore is designed for those few who want more from their game. Which is why most of it is hidden in lore books never to be opened much less read by most people.
The result is that destiny's story takes more risks and needs a publisher who is fine with that. (Look at how bland Endgame is for example)
@@Shadowsoken "They're the only ones who seem to write good storylines for movies"
The fact that people actually think like this is fucking depressing. I like Marvel movies too, but you get that there are other, better writers out there, right?
Ikr. I just wanna watch Shaxx actually do something instead of shout at us every now and then in crucible, the fat prick. Idk why I hate Shaxx.
The Crucible is basically the Guardians' answer to the Sword Logic.
Well yes, we are doing the same thing then the Hive with they 20 000 years of war among them.
Ah yes, *L I G H T* logic
Coming back to this in 2024 and I have just been reminded...
*Destiny turns* *_ten_* *this year!!!*
Thanks so much all of you!!!! This was invaluable and so meaningful as a long-time Destiny player. It not only helped me better understand the story I played but it really helps me jump back into Destiny after a brief time away!!!! I hope Bungie sees how much this helps players better interreact with their game!
Normal destiny players: I have the chronicler title
Byf: hold my beer
Only those who know about the lore should wear that title. And the title doesn't fit Byf anymore, he is more of a Loremaster. 👀
@@amonggus1 More he is the LORE GOD
@@amonggus1 they should give his account a custom title
Keanu Parsa can you still even get the chronicler title?
It should be
Byf: Hold my Marasenna
I’m going to be honest, when my friend told me about this game, he said I should play the first game before I buy D2. I told him I only cared about shooting bad guys and customizing my Gaurdian. And for a while, that was all Destiny was to me, a game to pass the time. Then I found Byf’s videos. His method of story telling was amazing, and he truly introduced me to the lore rich world of Destiny. I thank you Byf, for entertaining me for hours on end, and educating me on these games.
Welcome to Destiny lore, guardian.
I’ll see you starside, guardian!
See you on the other side guardian❤️
The helmet stayed on
@@l.e.dlights1889 Pffftttt flexing on Mara Sov are you?
I really hope you're working on a other one of these, since we know so much before where you started for this one. I'd love a 4 or even 5 hour video to listen to with my new light friends!
I thank everyone who worked on this. I wish, as a budding VO artist, I had had the chance to read this. I've been playing for over 2K hours and have seen some of this before but really enjoyed how it was put together. It makes me want to go back and start the run all over again.
Thanks
Byf: with blade...
me: yeah, thats typical
Byf: with rifle...
me: yeah, and with bows next, right?
Byf: and with 5th generation air superiority fighters
Cross-Eyed Cat that’s exactly what I thought lmfao
@@jackgoff6898 same
found the farcry player
Exactly
this is a 4 hour video and I read this comment and was like... I wonder when he's gonna say th or if I missed is... sure enough 30 seconds later I find the quote😂
Byf singlehandedly got me obsessed with Destiny Lore. He's my Vanguard, that's for sure.
Same! I got back into Destiny 2 after watching a few of his lore videos. Now I'm waiting with bated breath for Shadowkeep. I can't wait to see what new lore Bungie has for us!
At this point I can recite this until I fall asleep, ty byf you've assured my enjoyment and sleep for years now 💪🏾
Years later I still find myself putting this video on while I sleep or just because I enjoy the lore. These long structured lore videos are my favorite so I hope it's at least giving you more ad revenue.
This dude made the year “2014” sound so scary and early in time 😆I was like “oh shittt.... wait a second that was 6 years ago”😂😂
7 years now 😭
And 2014 was a mere pebble in the road that lead to the great chasm that is 2020 and 2020.1
@@TheTexan83 it don't wanna say the words the kicked off 2021 because this was around the time the shitstorm really began full force. But let's just say this year isn't scaled to 2020's light level.
I absolutely LOVE lore... but I have to ask: What was Bungie smoking to create all of this?? I want some of that!
ha yeah, this is a LOT of lore and story to create and build around.
That Vestian Purple.
Seems like Glimmer can be programed into more than just currency and fuel
They let Joe Staten world build like crazy and then rewrote his script.
Dude DMT I reckon
Byf as someone who's been playing since the launch of House of wolves I thank you. Over the course of 4 hours you remind me why I find it so proud to call myself a guardian. I would gladly redo my destiny journey all over again. If it means I get to share my joy of being a guardian with new people. Nothing makes me happier going into a new season then knowing I've been through it all from the start of destiny 1 to the most recent of destiny 2. Per Audacia Ad Astra
Me: Patiently waiting for the new and updated now that it’s been 4 years for another video like this!
When it’s called the darkness but they have 1 million lights on their ships
Lmaooo thx
Hehe
When it's called the darkness but somehow is beat by a fucking flying marble
I guess they stub their toes in the darkness as well 😂😂
@@literallyvenomsnake careful I have a thing for the traveler. Can't wait to see the traveler take on the darkness.
Anyone remember the times when killing a captain impressed their ghost
simpler days
Fallen! About to drop on us!
Destiny was the first game I really felt immersed in, and I actually felt somewhat good about myself the first time I killed Riksis
RIP Literally the only named Captain 😂
Child Of God mythrax? Where is the nice guy
This video makes me wish their was a game I could play to experience this story first hand. Well done!
welp gotta say watched this entire video in its entirety and wanna compliment the voice acting, editing, and art. Absolutely breathtaking how it all came together. Hope you keep it up I love the lore of this game!
They need to make a whole cinematic short film on the Battle of Twilight Gap, shit would look amazing
I want that as part of the sundial, just wave after wave after wave of foes lol
@@mikewillis9537 YES
Would just be a bunch of titans camping in bubbles
@@rozikhan2744 LMFAO!!
I just want a loop of Saint-14 headbutting fallen
Fallen: attacks using wave after wave of drop ships and teleporting
And fail
The Cabal: take out their satellites and bombard the city with artillery using actual military tactics
Takes the city in less than a day
Thats the power of gary for you

@@casartherandom3010 works for me. Just nine more gods to kill.
Luke Thomas that’s not his name dummy. It’s clearly Gavin
The people that do these stories are truly truly great at what they do and every video is gripping and they deserve to be successful and I am glued to the screen every video.
Watch? Nah bro, I listen to this. Until I fall asleep thirty minutes later. But seriously, thanks for the lore.
I love how you don't even get to the Destiny 1 storyline until it's two hours in
Lmfao
It’s lore is amazing! I am a vet of d1 and up until curse on d2 and it’s seriously that good of a game BUT ITS LOCKED ON BUNGIES WEBSITE
“Storyline”
@@leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347 there is a story. You just have to dig for it.
Felicity Thorson that’s the problem
Even three years later, its still fun to listen to!
Still come back to this video for sheer nostalgia. A memory of simpler times. Looking forward to seeing the story of my childhood come to its end, whatever it may be. Thank you for helping me come to love this story even more Byf
