20:43 "This is the same shape taken by the Darkness-the pyramids of the Darkness, at least-four sides, the simplest of geometry possible." *Clarification:* In geometry, a 'pyramid' is defined as "a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex. Each base edge and apex form a triangle, called a lateral face. It is a conic solid with polygonal base. A pyramid with an n-sided base has n + 1 vertices, n + 1 faces, and 2n edges." The point being: "When *unspecified,* a pyramid is usually assumed to be a regular square pyramid, like the physical pyramid structures. A triangle-based pyramid is more often called a tetrahedron." Just a minor point, but still. *AWESOME* *VIDEO!* :)
GenMVeers huh... so a pyramid can have as few as 4 sides as long as they’re always made up of triangles on their lateral faces...
I learn something new every day. Guess the name pyramid ships fits! Thanks for the knowledge! pinning this comment! :)
Duncan MacAdams a pyramid will always have a min of 4 faces because theres the base :)
@@andrewtampubolon6833 , yep - for a pyramid it's 4 sides in general (as the ancient Egyptians so elegantly constructed).
Which is why the darkness ships are tetrahedrons (3 sides) which are also known as a triangular pyramids. To quote wikipedia: "The tetrahedron is the simplest of all the ordinary convex polyhedra and the only one that has fewer than 5 faces."
If you've ever handled a D-4 in a table top role playing game... you've handled a tetrahedron.
GenMVeers boi u sound like my math teacher
I'm pretty sure we all understood him when he said pyramid buddy. Very impressive math though, high school geometry was so long ago it's hard to remember now.
A lore video on the most powerful Guardian ever, Pingar, the Lag Ascended? He's my favorite Shadow of Yor! Fricken love the lore book about how he made his Ascendent Realm in a McDonald's so that he can feed off the power of WiFi. Can't wait for April 1st!

The more i learn about Dredgen Yor, the Shadows of Yor, the Taken, the Drifter , Gambit and that how somehow this all ties in together with Shin Malfur.... It literally makes me feel like he is the most interesting guardian in history. I pray everyday that bungie doesn’t give him Orisis treatment because God Damn this man needs a Forsaken Level expansion
Kyle Ford we will have jokers wild
jokers wild
Kyle Ford we will have jokers wild and we know very well that black armory had a shit ton of lore
Dregen is from d1 and he's a god killer
Imagination a DLC where the scorn find Vex tech that can rewind time, so they can get their old king back. So we are sent there to retrieve it, but when we get to the scorn who have it, they trap us in the Drifters story and must find a way to get back to our timeline and stop the scorn, whilst exploring the Drifters story.
But there is a dark presence that we are up against....
I feel the most interesting thing about gambit is what it is training us for
Multi-sided conflicts and conflicts with other guardians like one guardian taking out entire squads
Sounds like he is getting us ready for a dark age level war and that idea interests me greatly
Getting is ready for the dark guardians.
@@kaguscon as cool as dark guardians sound, the concept makes absolutely zero sense
Think about dregin yor
@@potatounicorn5474 Dredgen wasn't a true dark guardian, as he wasn't a servant of the darkness, just a really bad guardian
@@spectralserpent I mean Anon did leak guardians harnessing powers of the darkness and hes been 100% right so far so dont count it out just yet. Also it does seem gambit is preparing us for this since in the leak open world PvPvE was mentioned between those who bare the light and those who bare the darkness

I was just grinding gambit one night and then i got really exited because i saw that byf was on the other team (The background gameplay) very nice👌
@arse stain think so
I'm hoping in the Drifter's upcoming expansion, he teaches us how to harness the Motes of Dark. Countless other people have suggested this already, but the most feasible way for Bungie to up the ante with our subclasses is by introducing a new element. Forsaken added *nine* new Supers; easiest way to top this isn't by adding a fourth branch of nodes, but a fourth subclass entirely.
Geth Infiltrator no new elements but new subclass trees of the same elements are good
And Ikora does question about the existence of another type of element after listing Arc, Solar, and Void
So the elements are kind of their own thing, right? Solar is fire, Arc is arc, or electricity, and void is the nothingness in between.
What makes our abilities special is how the light interacts and uses these elements for powers. The darkness could do the same, using these elements or other elements in case it opposes solar or something.
Like cold, isolation and pressure as opposed to heat, (electric) connection and pulling.

@@grantgibson1858 Hardly. Most people that are into lore have probably seen the Myelin's coverage of the drifter, which gives you most of the info. I was just commenting on how good his voice his lol.
All right, all right, all right!
Let's see what we've got.
Lore video!
Bring a snack. :)
Oh yeah getting me ham sandwich with potato chips
St. Jude is here in Memphis where I live, and lemme tell ya: those folks are godsends. Please donate!!!
I live in Memphis too! And my mom was a nurse at St. Jude for several years in the 90s
Strange cos St. Jude is also here in Sutton UK but is a nursing home where my mother in law spent her last days.
I'm really digging this series so far, but there's something about the Derelict that in of itself that may say something about the haul.
"For Destiny 2's Gambit game mode, I created the backdrop for The Drifter in the pre-match area and cinematic. The Drifter has wrangled a mysterious alien technology by freezing a chunk of alien terrain. This is what I came up with to sell this idea, which needed to happen without concept art support."
That is the description for one of the assets made for the Derelict's "hub" area (www.artstation.com/artwork/012e4)
"My favorite asset to have worked on for Destiny 2: Forsaken was the "ice hunk" and alien growth portions of The Drifter's ship."
There was also this (www.artstation.com/artwork/y9mNn) from the same man.
On to the point, I don't think that the "haul" is the Ascendant pocket. Especially when many Ascendant portals can just be floating there or lying on the ground because some Taken walked on it. Then again, I don't know, nobody except Bungie really does at the moment.
I personally think the haul is a chunk of an ice planet... THE ice planet. The one that is crawling with creatures that may very well be a teaser for what's to come. If not, well... I was wrong. I'm interested in that one line from Malphur, mentioning "her". Does he know of Savathun? If so, why does everyone except us seem to be getting the hint?
Promethean, Archival Mind why the fuck do I see you everywhere. You are the Justin Y of destiny.

The transcript reads as follows: Never ride first class, it’ll ruin coach for you forever.
Lol
It makes me curious if the Spider is aware of the Drifter's collection and if so does he envy it.
Byf a suggestion for the future. When you are reading lore entries, please scroll them in a way so that your voice is synched with the writings so that we can read while you read. It' mich more confortable for non english native speakers so that if we don't catch a word we can read it especially with all these Names and specific hints at palces and people
Late to the party, but I definitely second that idea. 👍
Mote of light can summon...
The Given!
They give free loot to all peeps!
Time to shove motes of light into the gambit bank!
MossyGolem Given of a thousand Transits
Take a mote of light *shove* it in the bank and you'll have a Given tomorrow
That story of the drifter fighting the cabal would be a heck of a cutscene. Thanks Byf you have blown my mind with this video .
Fan theory: Introduction of Drifter is somewhat of a Destiny 3 foreshadowing. I do believe that he is representing a new kind of guardians, ones that wield powers of dark and light. Sort of the same concept like Grey Jedi, whole balance thing between two powerful things such as Dark and Light. Plus there has been hints all over Destiny series lore connected to what Mara Sov as well. Like she always keep talking about the balance.
Just a theory!
Love your content Byf, I literally watch it almost every other day, since you have so many videos that full in the gaps of Destiny timeline and story.
This aged well
kinda annoyed that as far as i'm aware there's not really a weapon in destiny we can call our own, other characters seem to forge their armour and weapons which in turn gives the gear unique abilities based on the fighting style of that person yet here our characters are, arguably the best guardians to exist because of the feats we've accomplished yet the closest thing to a weapon we create is one we make with the drifter which is his idea and his design.
bungie should do a contest to ask players to come up with exotics for every class of armour and weapon and make like the top 3 real or something. attribute it to a quest where our guardian wants to forge something of their own. not something of someone elses legend.
Was touch of malice our weapon ? I’m sure Eris and toland showed us how to forge it but I think I or you made it.
Touch of Malice is more of Eris's, similar to Shaxx owning raze lighter now. The closest I imagine is the khvostov.
Become *Legend*
Osiris forge weapons, all created and forged by your guardian and when you really look into it there has been a few weapons you personally forge or create
@@callumcourtneyhart4530 i always got the impression the osiris weapons were pre existing because of the indicator on the wall listing the weapons. they're probably made by one of osiris' fanatics who shares his obsession with the vex.
what other weapons are our creations? and i mean to the extent of exotics. like a unique weapon with a unique perk that isn't attributed to it being someone elses weapon
Liked the content here, but word of advice, Byf, could you please slow down the scrolling of the Lore tab when you're reciting it? You may not think of it but I enjoy reading it as much as you do. Maybe sync up the audio and video so it matches you scrolling down? Because trust me, I dont read that fast.
i can agree there maybe start scrolling after a couple of paragraphs so that what we are reading is in the middle of the screen or something

Asking the important questions.
Pause the video or read it somewhere else....
Or, you can read it in your game? Just saying. Unless you don't have it.....get to playing.
The part where you talked about the shape of the motes of light and dark correlating with the Traveler and the triangle-like ships (can’t quite remember the name) absolutely blew my mind. I had never thought about how the shapes of the motes could mean anything!
Unrelated but can we just agree that gambit is still so god damn great as a game mode?
The Living Flame My favorite game mode by far. And I’m even a strictly solo player (mostly because I have no one to play with)
Not at all unless you happen to have queenbreaker
It’s fucking hell for me cuz I haven’t been lucky enough to get a Queenbreaker yet
Darkness121 Same
The Living Flame I enjoy it but A LOT of people can’t stand it.
This is without a doubt one of my all-time favourite lore topics! The whole idea of a guardian, the Drifter, being part of the light, but kinda belonging to the darkness.. Damn I hope we get more info on the darkness soon! And the detail with the shape of motes of light and dark?! Beautiful!
Awesome video, Byf. Say hi to st. Jude for me.
Happy New Year Byf. Best of luck in 2019. Keep up the good work :)
Love your videos man thank you for taking the time to make them
Good to have ya back Byf!
Awesome vid as always! Really pumped about gambit lore and how it brings us closer to my favorite lore from d1, malphur vs yor
Interesting thing, some scientists think the coldest place in the solar system could be the bottom of some of the deeper craters on the moon which have always been in Shadow and never seen light. It probably has no relevance to the drifters tale, but it still makes you wonder considering the moons importance to the hive
Thank you for finally doing a bit on this , I've been wanting some lore on him as well as the taken in the whisper mission lol great stuff as always man!
Another fantastic video. This was entertaining as hell. Thanks
MASSIVE PROPS BYF!
My 100% respect for all the time you put for these videos! By far the most interesting one yet!!!
I LOVE YOUR LORE VIDEOS!!! way more in depth than anyone else's lore videos. the shape of the motes thing blew my mind as well, had never even noticed they were shaped like the shipes from the cut scene before
I was literally just re-listening to Part 1 when you uploaded this lol. Thanks for the content Byf and God bless.
Byf... You and your content has gotten me through more tough times than you can know. I hope things are looking up for you. I eagerly await all of your releases
Wonderful as ever, Byf. Well done!
Mind blown!!! Love the video! Please continue!
Just found you today, but your recital of the lore had me hooked!
I really appreciate what you do. You really do put time and effort into these videos, breaking the overly complex lore into bite-sized narrated videos, and sometimes, animated videos with quality on par with real companies. Plus, your able to keep up consistent uploads, even in your hardest times.
Plus, your voice is smoother than butter. No really.
Happy new year byf, and happy new year to you all fellow gardians. I wish to you all the very best for 2019. Yeah theese lore videos on the drifter are really great and knowing that wére gonna get last word soon, it’s very likely that new lore is coming along. Can’t wait for you byf to cover it. And a big shout to you and all of those who donate for children! Helping those in need is the greatest rewarding thing
Happy New Years BYF and congrats on you and all who help you with your fundraiser, and as many smiles you put on the faces of those at St. Jude and the children and the families and parents of those affected may God continue to bless you and those who work with you and all who contributed to your cause
This is truly awesome stuff!
Alright alright alright!
New year, new lore vid from Byf!
I can’t help but feel the Drifter made a deal with something on that planet. The lore says he and his crew’s light were extinguished. Maybe whatever was in charge wanted whoever survived their ordeal to run Gambit to bank these motes for whatever reason. Maybe power to return to the Solar system? Who knows, I think he made a deal with a space devil and is only alive to serve it/them. That would be a wild revelation, to find out we are are feeding our apparent doom.
and here is another great vid by my name is byf . thanks for the great content man
St. Jude is an absolutely fantastic charity! And it's 30 minutes from where I live! Great video as always Byf!
Great as always byf
Didn’t expect to wake up tired then have my mind blown awake by Byf. The section about motes was incredible and made me think about the light and dark in a whole new way. I’ve always seen them as opposing forces with different goals but never really thought about them in that manner.
Also the Drifter is insane and all his lore really has me excited for Jokers Wild!
Suuuper interesting video. I can't wait to learn more about this character, the gamemode, everything! Everything in Forsaken is actually so fascicating
so good to have you back bröther
Great work Byf!✌️
Awesome lore vid as usual. Definitely blew my mind hearing about the lore relevance of the shapes of motes. Looking forward to more exploration , lore wise, on malfeasance.
Fantastic video Byf! I cant wait to see/hear more! Its always a blast, thanks for doing what you do, keep up the awesome work, dedication and huge heart you have for helping others. Yoy make us other Guardians aspire to be more 👍
Always a highlight of my day.
Thank you, Guardian. May the Light be with you always.
Just the motivation I need to push on and finish the malfeasance quest. Thanks Byf!
ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT! Another great lore video on the field!
Love the videos and love all the knowns and unknown love how u make everything sound serious like I'm really there but when u say "schedule" I just lose it lol but love the content keep up the great work
The drifter is by far my new favourite character in all of destiny. Thanks for the amazing video byf!
My byf, awesome vid, I would absolutely love to hear lore about the creation of the malfeasance! Cheers lad
ByF you just blew my mind!!
Great to see you great to see you making a difference in this world how was your Christmas byf
A new byf video ? Let me get my popcorn ready
Absolutely been looking forward to this!! Yay!!!
That was an awesome video, thanks!
Who knew that the geometry class I took in high school 5 years ago would come in handy for a destiny 2 lore video. Huh. Loved this one, Byf!
The best lore topic by the best narrator❤️
I think that guardian deaths heal the primeval. Is this a similar process to the creation and growth of a throne world, as followers of the sword logic can channel death to their plot in the ascendant realm? As we obtain these motes from kills, are we doing a similar thing, but delivering this energy to the drifter? If so, and these motes of darkness are deaths in our world, are motes of light deaths in the world of darkness? This would certainly explain the traveler's constant battle with the "darkness" and would also point to the Awoken race as a more sustainable life form as they are both co-dependant entities living together. Also, is the traveler's Tera forming sort of like building a throne world, just on the other side of the void? I know this sounds rambly, I just have a lot of questions. Thanks for all you're doing, I really appreciate it.
Can totaly relate with the cold since I lost 2 gambit matches tonight because I was sneezing 20 times a minute during the primeval melt:)) also love the video, can’t wait for more on the same topic. Drifter and his Gambit have been fascinating me since they were introduced, and adding Shin and the Shadows of Yor in the picture only made it better.
I'm loving the lore on Drifter and I can't wait to see more!
Awesome video. Keep it up!
*Insert Mind Blown emote*. Great video byf. Glad to have you back brother.
Thanks for the daily dose of enlightenment
Ngl there's nothing more exciting for me than seeing a video of Byf's appear in my notifications
The drifter is getting ready for D3 for the darkness classes.
Warlock, Hunter, Titan and Maverick
Darknes classes gunna be d2 now
I can hope that come the season of the drifter there will more to the lore of his character and what his true reasons are behind hosting gambit, but as always Byf and his lore friends do good work on doing videos like this for all the lore fans of Destiny.
Such a brilliant video 👍
I cannot wait for part 3!!!
I think its pretty cool that Byf is gonna be in my hometown of Memphis and at St. Jude where my mom used to be a nurse at.
Fantastic video as always
Dang when you kill with Malfeasance you make Thorn, Last Word, and Luna’s Howl look like a green hand cannon from destiny 1
I've always enjoyed thinking about the difference between the motes of light and dark. This also applies to those dark ships in the ending cutscene. The motes of light are spheres and motes of dark are tetrahedrons, and in geometry they are pretty much polar opposites.
Tetrahedrons are the simplest figure one can create, it has the least amount of sides possible while still being a three dimensional figure.
A sphere is a quite advanced figure. It can be represented by making sides smaller and adding more sides over and over, and to create a perfect sphere you'd need an infinite amount of sides.
But I’m so glad you came back . Your awesome.
YOU BLEW MY MIND WITH THE GEOMETRY LORE
I've read all the Gambit Lore that you get from the Collections Tab/Triumphs Page in-game, it never occurred to me that the Armor also all had Lore on it. Dayum! This is why we need Lore Masters.
Yay another upload!
7:30 that linear shot
Drifter-Woooo!
Man I haven't seen a lore vid like this in a year.
My buddy and I are obsessed with the drifter lore . Even before we got our hands on gambit and drifter lore I always thought the drifter was pretty shady . He’s making us do his dirty work for him. Can’t wait to hear more lore!!
Watching this Gambit footage makes me think, "Gee, I wish when I invaded I got a team who stands still out in the open and doesn't shoot back, and that I didn't constantly spawn right in front of a shotgun."
So Imma be hearing all of Shin's lines in your voice now, personally I feel its a perfect fit
Byf has a voice like David Attenborough: calming and really enjoyable to listen too!
Duuude that one where he summoned 9 primevals with the clap of his mote is epic. I got sweet business trained on this guy.
I'm fully expecting a lore video on the Laggy Hunter on April 1st now, Byf. Don't disappoint.
I was not ready for this. My head hurts
This has me hyped for Joker's Wild. The Drifter's lore is so interesting.
Byf you're crazy with those invades. :)
I JUST watched the other vid! Awesome! (Also sorry u sick ma dude)
I've read all the lore on the drifter. It's very compelling. Very good story telling and really managed to keep my interest. I like that you're covering it. The drifter just might be one of the most interesting characters in Destiny... Outside of Cade6 of course
"Spheres," not "circles."
Also, thank you for saying "tetrahedrons" and not "pyramids."
Edit: I was just directed to the definition of pyramid and apparently, a tetrahedron is also known as a triangular pyramid so calling the darkness ships "pyramids" is not inaccurate like I previously thought. The pedant in me is pleased by this.
What's the difference? A triangular base pyramid is a tetrahedron right? I guess you mean it in the sense that "a square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not always a square"?
@@trickytreyperfected1482
Spheres are circles, but circles are not always spheres? 🤔
They're called Pyramids in game lmao
@@ablone They're called both in-game. There's a ghost projection called "tetrahedron projection" and it's an image of their ships.
