      Honestly, that was such a nice touch. The whole mission was so dark and twisted, then to see this golden, gleaming weapon at the end was almost a breath of fresh air. Then, it prompts you to steal it and it feels like any light or positivity is sucked right back out again. Such a good mission.

    The soundtrack is fascinating, it has tinges of the Dominus Ghaul theme. It’s creepy and yet nostalgic of the Red War campaign.
    Additionally, Katabasis is an Ancient Greek word which is used to mean “going down,” which can refer to a couple things. It can refer to literal descent, or to journey into the underworld, for example. Props to the team at Destiny for really throwing in the symbolism.

I found it VERY interesting that Uldren is considered a dead being, despite being revived. I thought that perhaps it’s a a lore implication that the risen are basically brand new beings compared to the people they were before they died. Kind of like a literal rebirth into another person.

That’s why they have acted all strange and hostile towards cabal. It doesn’t make sense why we helped the emperor and refuse to ally with the new cabal queen. If you listen to the reports, it talks about how the cabal are desperately trying to survive and asking for an alliance, but we refuse, which is strange of humanity

    I heard Uldren's voice during my playthrough.
    "The line between the light and the dark is so very thin."
    And Uldren being one of the dead voices, despite Crow being alive, means a lot.

    Calus is a frail man speaking through godly automatons. Sounds just like every other world leader

    I have been waiting for this! I've been sat here since Tuesday like "I wonder when byf will post about this" This is awesome.

    I loved this mission and the lore it brought with it. I especially loved the atmosphere which made things in the game seem more visceral, so I like the direction they're going with things like this

    I loved the mission cuz it was like a better version of Warframe's derelict

    Me: *Hears "Callus" and "Crown". That guy JUST won't learn his lesson with the damn thing does he!?
    16:20 - Among those voices was Crow, too... Strange.
    Who knows. Maybe Callus has been dead for quite sometime... We never met him - in person. Maybe he is just another puppet of Savathun...

      That's not Crow's voice it's Uldren. Just stuff from when he was a villain

    Out of all of the exotic lore this one peaked my interest the most, not just the lore on the weapon itself but the mission too

    Glad they added this quest, exactly the sort of thing that's been missing that you could sink your teeth into! Thanks for the great video!
