The Entire Story of Destiny (Summarized in 40 Minutes!)

starting from the very beginning this video will cover the entire story of Destiny this lore is fascinating and a recap like this also provides important context to what is actually happening in the modern-day version of the game I am working on a longer version of this video that will come out soon but for now this will cover all of the most important stories and lore from the past 10 years of the destiny franchise so from the very origins of the universe to the conclusion of the light and darkness Saga this is the story of Destiny there was once an ancient civilization that was struggling to survive their struggle came to an abrupt halt though when they found a giant paracausal orb which they called The Gardener it was an entity of light and Life The Gardener blessed them with a golden age of prosperity despite the gifts that were bestowed on them they craved something else they craved a purpose and meaning they want wanted a wiow to shape the garden that had been created to cut away the unfettered chaos that is found in the light the people discovered that there was another entity called The Veil that shared a connection with the gardener and the veil was an entity of Darkness the light and darkness are two ancient forces that flow through the universe and the people believed that bringing the veil to their Planet would bring structure and meaning to their existence so they brought the veil to their home to connect with the gardener with hopes of creating that final shape of reality where only Perfection would remain The Gardener would not allow this however and it fled their world left with only the veil the people used the power of the darkness to merge themselves into one single being they became an entity called the witness which would then set off Across the Universe with its black Fleet the witness set off in Pursuit Of The Gardener with the goal of enacting its Perfect final shape to to ultimately impose meaning on a meaningless Universe for Untold time the gardener would travel from world to World fleeing from the darkness along the way it would terraform worlds and Grant blessings to its inhabitants these blessings however were often shortlived only lasting until the darkness arrived in some cases though the witness was a step ahead and it would arrive at a new world before the gardener could move in and bless the species one such world was called fun fundament where a weak species called the Krill was struggling to survive on a violent world the witness arrived first and tricked the Krill into embracing the power of the darkness they were granted great power but it was a cursed existence they became infected with worms that needed to be fed with destruction or else they would consume their host now acting In Perpetual service to their worms the Crill became known as The Hive these Hive were led by three siblings orx Savage aun and zeu arra together they went from system to system and annihilated countless civilizations in order to feed their worms The Gardener would later find its way to the Reese system the home of the elix they were given great blessings just like many other worlds and the elix decided to call the gardener the great machine eventually though as with all worlds The Gardener eventually fled and the elix now known as the Fallen experienced what they call the Whirlwind and it was a terrible apocalyptic time for the species the Fallen left the re system in Pursuit Of The Gardener eventually around the year 2014 The Gardener arrived here in the soul system it terraformed many planets and moons human lifespan tripled and it brought life to everything this included Mars and once Humanity detected the gardener on Mars we sent out a small crew to investigate the strange moonlight structure due to its odd movements we called it the traveler and it would give Humanity our own Golden Age eventually though the black Fleet and the Darkness would arrive in all of the past situations like this The Traveler decided to flee the darkness but in this case it decided to remain in Soul and finally make a stand during the ensuing battle savathun one of the three hiive siblings betrayed the witness by killing its disciple nzar as well as hiding the a veil on Neptune savathun then tricked the witness into leaving the system entirely however the traveler collapsed and became dormant just above the last city on Earth as a final act it created the ghosts and these small entities of light would seek out deceased Warriors throughout the system resurrect them and give them the ability to Bear the powers of the light Humanity fell into a Dark Age not only engaging in Civil War but also having to fight back against the enemy race of the hive fallen cabal and Vex Humanity would remain in darkness for centuries in about the 35th Century our Guardian awakened in the cosmodrome of old Russia for the first time after our ghost found us scattered among the remains of an old freeway as is usual for freshly resurrected Guardians we had no memory of our past or where we came from our ghost guided us into the cosmodrome wall where we were able to scavenge for our first few weapons fight off waves of fallen and find an old jump ship that we were able to salvage upon reaching the tower we met the Vanguard leaders of the defense of the last City they are led by Zavala who represents the Titans iora for warlocks and Cade 6 for hunters we also met the speaker who gave us a briefing on our history with the traveler and our NeverEnding battle with the darkness we set out across the solar system to fight against the darkness while also being watched by a shadowy figure called The Stranger we finally met her on Venus where she told us that we have to travel to the black garden there at its heart was an imperfect replica of the veil we had to go there to destroy it in order to allow the traveler to heal after its collapse in order to access the black garden however we needed to seek help from the awoken of the reef a region within the asteroid belt there we met with the queen marav and her brother Aldren they did not give us the warmest of welcomes but they did agree to help after acquiring some parts Aldren created a key that allowed us to access the black garden on Mars there we found the Vex worshiping the heart of the black garden it brought the statues of the shrine to life but we defeated them and this destroyed the heart with our objective complete the traveler was still dormant but now it was healing we were heralded as a hero back in the last City but as the stranger gifted us her rifle she reminded us that the real fight is still out there Aris mour an expert of Hive lore came to the tower to warn us of an impending Hive invasion of the Moon they were trying to awaken croa the son of or the taken King we needed to take the fight to croa and defeat him before another great disaster could occur Aris was once a member of the fire team that tried to defeat croa and she was the only member to survive the horrors that lie below we cleared out some of the advanced forces in the cosmodrome including infestations inside some of the facilities of the great AI known as Rasputin we then traveled to the moon and destroyed a crystal containing coto's Soul holding off The Invasion and Resurrection for now prota however still existed in his throne World a sort of Refuge in the ascendant plane we needed to find a way to defeat him in that realm if we wanted to defeat croa for good so we assembled a fire team of six and went back into the depths of the hellmouth entered his throne world and defeated him eliminating the great threat that had already caused so much Destruction for Humanity with one threat neutralized Queen maras of the reef reached out to ask for help the Fallen House of wolves were previously captured by The Reef but now they had rebelled led by the Kel skolas a Kell is a leader of a fallen house and after being freed by a mysterious race called the nine Kell skolas was up to no good we worked alongside pet renge the Queen's Wrath of the awoken as well as veric a friendly elix and Scribe for the former House of judgment together we worked to prevent skolas from uniting all of the remaining Fallen houses and becoming the Kell of Kels we waged war against the fallen and eventually tracked skolas to Venus we managed to trap him and bring him back to the prison of Elders inside the prison skolis managed to start a riot but we were called in to go put an end to this Riot and to skolas himself word had reached or the taken King about our defeat of his son croa and he was none too pleased he arrived in the soul system with his massive ship called the dreadnut as well as his army of Hive and taken the taken are forces corrupted by the darkness they have no will and their work is only to serve their Master the ability to take or corrupt is an extremely dark power learned by orex stolen from the worm God aka the first major battle took place in orbit around Saturn where or used the dreadn super weapon to annihilate the awoken forces including Queen Mara herself Cade 6 then found a way to get us inside of or's ship in order to try to take out this weapon once this objective was achieved we set our sights on orex himself we first fought him in our world and then just like his son before him we raided his throne world and put him to his final death sending his corpse floating towards Saturn meanwhile on Earth the Fallen head gained access to an ancient human Tech technology called CA this was an extremely dangerous nanotechnology with the ability to self assemble replicate and think it could be used to create basically anything but could also be extremely destructive SAA had been locked away due to the danger it posed and since it caused such great damage to the iron Lords we worked with Lord saladan one of the last remaining iron Lords to fight against the newly augmented Fallen called splicers we made our way into the original replication chamber where many iron Lords had sacrificed their lives to contain CA in the first place and we destroyed the chamber finally ending the threat the red Legion of the cabal led by their leader Dominus Gul attacked the last city of Earth Gul put a harness around the traveler removing our guardian's ability to use the light Gul also captured the speaker a very old Mentor of Guardians he wanted the speaker to teach him how to convince the traveler to Grant him the power power of the light meanwhile desperate for a way to fight back our Guardian Found A Shard of the traveler near the European Dead Zone and used it to get our light abilities back we proceeded to travel to Titan nessus and IO in order to reunite the Vanguard and wage a war against the red Legion all the while Gul was still interrogating the speaker and trying to get access to the light but eventually gaul's console got tired of waiting and eliminated the speaker the console believed that Gul should simply be taking the light for himself instead of trying to learn how to make the traveler gift it to him angry Gaul killed the consul and with the speaker now dead as well he decided to go ahead and use the cage around the traveler to take the light by force we found our way onto gaul's command ship and he was Now using the light powers that he had stolen from The Traveler we defeated him but Gaul tried to revive himself with his stolen Powers however right in the middle of his resurrection The Traveler awakened and fired out a shock wave of light all across the universe which destroyed Gaul and restored abilities to all of the other Guardians this was a great win for us but this shock wave also had dire consequences it awakened the witness's dark Fleet in the Far Corners of the universe during this time Emperor kis also arrived in the soul system he was the former emperor of the cabal before he was dethroned by Gaul we barded his massive Leviathan ship and passed his trials before defeating a giant animatronic figure that was made in His image the Warlock Vanguard iora showed us a damaged ghost by the name of sagira she told us it belongs to Osiris one of the greatest warlocks to ever live however Osiris had been living in exile for some time so she sent us to Mercury to investigate there we met brother Vance A cultist who told us how we can revive seira we took her to a hidden temple in the European Dead Zone in order to revive her we learned that Osiris had been investigating the infinite Forest on Mercury and this is a Vex insulation used to run simulations of various possibilities we entered the forest and found a reflection of Osiris who explained that the Vex mind penapis was running simulations to try to create a dark future where humanity is defeated and neither light nor Darkness exists anymore all life is lost in this future so Osiris asks for our help in defeating pones to avoid this dark future we searched throughout the timelines which proved to be challenging but eventually with the help of Osiris's Reflections penapis fell together we exited the infinite forest with Osiris where he saw his former student iora for the first time in many years she invited him back to the city but he said he must remain in the forest to stop the Vex from finding a different path to the dark future before we left Mercury our ghost picked up a weak signal coming from the infinite forest and brother Advance thought it might belong to the legendary Titan St 14 he sent us into the forest to try and locate him as we had done with Osiris before inside we found the remains of St 14 along with thousands of dead Vex in that specific version of the future he lost his battle but the Vex had built a memorial to him seemingly in awe of the great warrior that he was on Mars The Guardian named Anna BR had been hiding away working to learn more about the AI warind rest utin as well as her family's past when the traveler awoke and shot out that massive shock wave of light Across the Universe it also awoke a slumbering force of Hive on Mars that were led by The Hive worm God Zol we traveled to Mars to assist Anna in winning back the warmind facilities with the hopes that the warmind might help us in our battle against the darkness in our quest to find Zol we encountered nocis brother of croa who was banished by his father orx due to his heretical practice of necromancy we defeated him and then set our sights on Soul together with the help of the war mines javelin weapon system we were able to defeat them we then went to talk with Rasputin and he asserted that he will continue to protect Humanity but only on his own terms and not the vanguards trouble was once again brewing in The Reef with the absence of Queen maras saav organized crime had been breaking out all over the asteroid belt also her brother alrov became corrupted by a taken wish Dragon an aamar named Riven there was a massive Jailbreak in the prison of Elders and the now corrupt Aldren sof rallied his own Army of the scorn Barons who were escaping the scorn are a corrupt Undead version of the Fallen who were also created by Riven in an effort to stop this disastrous outbreak our hunter Vanguard Cade 6 joined Petra venge in the prison unfortunately during the conflict Cade's ghost was destroyed by the scorn leaving him vulnerable with no hope of Resurrection should he fall ultimately in his weakened State having lost his connection to the light he was put to his end at the hands of alren angered by Cade's murder we traveled to the Tangled Shore in The Reef to investigate and work with a Shady elix by the name of spider he was frustrated by the Havoc the scorn had caused his business so he agreed to help us find Aldren sa if we first defeated the scorn Barons one by one after doing so and after defeating aldrin's number one in command ficoll The Fanatic we entered the awoken watchtower in pursuit of Aldren sof Aldren was consumed by the voice of Riven that was corrupting him and we fought back against this horrifying creature upon its defeat we find Aldren Sav On The Ground and pick up Ace of Spades the weapon that Aldren had stolen from C together with pet renge we confronted Aldren and put him to his end we proceeded to find our way into the hidden awoken home world of the dreaming City there we hunted down and defeated the taken ahamkara Riven and cleansed her taken heart however at the same time Riven was able to transcend death and make one final wish that would put the dreaming city under a curse we emerged and found that the dreaming city was now corrupt by the taken for 3 weeks we battled against the taken as the dreaming city became more and more corrupt eventually thinking we had won we found a way to access the throne world of marasa where we learned that she is actually still alive we declared Victory but were quickly corrected as we learned that the dreaming city was stuck in a constant time Loop where history continued to repeat itself again and again around the same time a mysterious lightbearer going by the name of Drifter showed up at the tower and started using Guardians to play this dangerous game that he called Gambit this game controversially made use of Moes of Darkness to summon taken into a guardian versus Guardian competition an EXO by the name of 01 also shed up in the tower power as the last remaining member of the black Armory Foundry the red War had left The Foundry without access to their forges so she enlisted us to clear out the forges of enemies and allow them to reopen in order to craft their weapons we worked all over the system to do this and while doing so we slowly earned her trust and weapons we then went into the batza District of the last city where the Fallen led by the spider's brother Civic were attempting to gain access to the black Armory Vault there we defeated in Resurrection Prime and thus secured The Vault we tracked Civics down to naobi Labs which contained the bergusia forge and there we faced off and defeated Civic this helped us secure a1's full trust and allowed us to craft the powerful is anagi burden sniper rifle separately a solitary ghost named pulled pork was still looking for its guardian and it had found its way into the dreaming City it came across the grave of Aldren and resurrected him as a guardian alren renamed his ghost glint and since becoming a guardian wife's all memory Aldren had no knowledge of his past crimes things started to quiet down for a little bit but Drifter had been hard at work and he invited us to participate in a new variation of his game mode called Gambit Prime as well as a new activity known as the Reckoning we met Orin Emissary of the nine and learned that the Drifter had been playing these games of Gambit at beest of the nine as they prepare for the coming Darkness Emperor callus made another appearance and invited invited us to board his Leviathan ship for further testing and rewards this time in his Menagerie callus had become obsessed with the arrival of the darkness and wished for us to become one of his Elite Shadows who would be there with him at the end of all existence during our time in the Menagerie we defeated many of his Champions but we learned that hidden within the Leviathan was another creature named galron kis had come across an ancient Hive artifact called the crown of sorrow and suspected that it was corrupted in hopes of being able to control The Hive with this Crown callus bred a cabal named galon to be strong willed and then put the crown on his head this was indeed a trap laid by the witch Queen savathun in hopes of corrupting callus should he wear the crown instead it was gon who became corrupted but this still invited a hive infestation into the Leviathan Callis called on us to clear out the infestation and defeat the corrupted gon while exploring the moon AIS mourn came across a hidden pyramid ship of the Darkness sleeping in the depths of a massive cave with its Discovery the ship brought nightmares haunting figures of friends and enemies long past AIS instructed us to find a way inside after facing nightmares of our prior enemies we slowly forged a dream Bay and armor set that would allow us to enter the pyramid inside the pyramid seemingly possessed our ghost in order to talk to us we explored the ship and captured an artifact that we brought back for or arys the darkness also showed as a haunting mirror image of ourselves and told us that they are not our friend not our enemy but our Salvation at this time the Vex began invading the moon and we learned that the undying mind which we had previously defeated was behind this we worked to construct a special Vex portal that could bring the undying mind from all timelines into ours where we could finally defeat it for good Osiris had been trying to find a way to navigate the corridors of time in order to bring his lover St 14 back to life and he created the sundial in order to do so however his objective proved impossible until the undying mind's defeat which opened up a new timeline that perhaps provided a better opportunity to save his dear friend at the same time a few cabal science sisters discovered the Sundial they wanted to use the sundial in order to find a way to change the past and have the cabal win the red war and succeed in their invasion of the last City we intervened in order to to prevent them from making this timeline a reality in our quest to defeat these sisters we also found a way to intervene during key moments in Sate 14's past and we were able to find a way to save him and bring him back to modern times we also experienced a strange moment when exploring the corridors of time and unlocking its puzzles and strangely we found our own grave laid with our favorite weapon Bastion we proceeded to defeat three out of the Four Sisters leaving just one remaining to try and see their plan through the final remaining science sister resorted to Desperate Measures and sent the red legion's planet Killers ship the almighty into a collision course with the last City we joined up with anab BR to try and power up some of Rasputin's satellites and defense systems to take the almighty down before it destroyed the final remnants of humanity after bringing numerous serf bunkers online and expanding our defenses we watched as the almighty was destroyed by Rasputin shortly before it would crash into the last City during this time asutin also revealed that many pyramid ships were quickly approaching our solar system giving everyone an impending sense of Doom after a brief time the pyramid ships arrived and despite Rasputin's best attempts they would not go down easily the darkness tried to communicate with us but something was getting in its way nocis the brother of croa became the supplicant of the hive witch Queen savathon and taught her necromancy she also tasked him with running interference so we could not commune with the darkness and learn of its powers Aris believed that investigating the darkness was important for avoiding a second collapse but Commander zala did not approve he did eventually allow us to assist Aris though and during our investigations we were once again confronted by nocas we defeated him for the final time and this allowed a path to open between us and the Darkness itself the darkness spoke to us once again through our ghost and it invited us to Europa to take up its ancient power as the darkness encro Ed on the soul system it consumed many planets including Mars Titan IO and Mercury we decided to answer the call of the darkness and we ventured to Europa a moon of Jupiter our elix friend veric was there and he had sent out a distress call for help after finding a splinter of the darkness while he was making the call the EXO stranger appeared and stole the Splinter before quickly disappearing another elix by the name of Aramis was also here in search of the Splinter and she had been granted the power of stasis by the darkness she confronted veric and used the power of stasis to freeze him in place however we arrived and set him free before her minions could do away with him to help us on our search for Aramis The Stranger gave us the Splinter she had stolen from veric and Coach us about the darkness power she had learned to use we communed with the darkness and slowly grew in our own use of stasis we used its power to take down aramis's lieutenants and eventually Aramis herself by turning her into to a statue of stasis we then worked with the stranger now known to us as Anna's sister Elsie bray to learn more about their past in the process we learned more about their extremely significant father Clovis Bray who founded brch created the exos and built this massive facility on Europa at this time orex and savathun's sister zeu arra was wreaking absolute Havoc she destroyed Osiris's ghost sagira while he was on the moon leaving him very vulnerable and with without his light we went to the moon to rescue him and as we were cleaning up the hive a familiar face dealt a final blow to a hive Knight saving Osiris's life he introduced himself as Crow but we knew him as none other than ultran SV he said his boss wanted to see us and called us to The Reef the Risen Guardian alren now known as Crow was basically a new person since he had no memories of his past life and wrongdoings despite this every Guardian hated him and would kill him on site he felt like he had nowhere to go but eventually he found the spider and began working for him Pro took us to The Spider and together they asked us to assist in clearing out zeu arth's wrath from the Tangled Shore it turned out they had infected the dreaming city as well so together we worked to eliminate their forces after defeating zeu wrath's commanding High celebrant our Guardian tricked the spider into freeing Crow we returned with him to the tower not quite sure how people would react to seeing that face again Call's daughter kidle who had a hand in gaul's rise and Call's Exile decided to come to soul and have the Guardians join her Empire she was seeking help in her battle against the hive because the cabal home world had been destroyed by ze's forces Zavala refused her invitation and tensions were very high Osiris also assigned Crow to be his bodyguard but urged him to keep at a distance with his mask on as not to be recognized as the murderer of Kate 6 eventually Zavala agreed to challenge kidle in the right of proving and picked us as his Champion to face off against Kyle's top Champion we battled and after we defeated her Champion kidle agreed to at truce with the Vanguard while undergoing a Blood Oath with zala another San attempted to kill zala and Crow's identity was revealed as he stepped in to protect him around this time we stumbled upon an abandoned cabal ship that seemed to be from Call's fleet called the glycon we investigated the ship but it was was filled with nothing but scorn and some interesting Flora we eventually discovered the crown of Sorrow was here and previously was used by callus to communicate with the witness and Osiris decided to retrieve it despite its dangers we now had a newly forged alliance with Kyle's cabal forces but things were still not going very well the last city had been plunged into an Endless Night by the Vex and the sun did not rise for the first time in our history iora asked us to collaborate with the friendly elix mithrax and he helped us nav at the Vex Network to combat the Vex mithrax and his people were then invited to seek refuge in the Fallen quarter and eventually the last City and this was seen as a controversial choice in the opinions of some less trusting humans the leader of future War cult Lakshmi was one of the most outspoken voices against these new residents and unfortunately some crimes were committed against our new neighbors we discovered that savathun through the taken mind of Coria was behind the endless Knight the Guardians worked to defeat Coria so the son could once again rise when Cora was eventually defeated and the elix protected from the Vex incursion a new alliance was forged between humanity and the elix there were suspicions that Osiris may have been involved with the endless Knight and so iora put out a warrant for his arrest with the help of crow and St 14 we went into the dreaming City and found him alongside marasa Osiris then revealed that he was actually savathun and she had taken his form after saving him from her sister zeu wrath marov then put savathun into a chrysis form at her request which was essentially like transforming her into a cocoon this was in an attempt to expunge the worm from savathun the worm that she had been in service to ever since she left fundament we then proceeded to work on freeing some of marso's teun that were trapped in the ascendant realm while also fighting back Zeo wrath's forces after enough time had passed marov performed the ritual to finally excise the worm from savathun savathun's cocoon shattered and she instantly escaped leaving a weakened Osiris in her place though thankful for his return Osiris would be very ill and in a coma for some time and there was no cure in sight after her Escape savathun traveled to the last City to see The Traveler she was Gravely injured following the removal of her worm she called out to the traveler in her final moments declaring herself as a sublant in its service before she died however not all was lost for her because she was soon Resurrected Ed by a ghost by the name of amaru along with some of her Lucent Hive brood savathun gained the powers of the light just like a guardian though she had lost her memory so if she wanted to see her plans through she needed to find a way to regain them strangely Mars had returned from the darkness and there savathun ship and an entrance to her throne World appeared iora called us in to investigate along our journey we came across a ghost named Finch who was refusing to revive his Hive lightbearer and was instead trying to figure out what savathun was up to by using the light in hopes of understanding what her plans were Finch unknowingly sent us on a scavenger hunt throughout her throne world we were searching for artifacts that ultimately allowed savathun to recover her memories that she lost when she was revived and became a lightbearer during the vanguard's investigations of a warm familiar recovered from savathun's Temple ior learned of the history of the hive that they were not always destined for evil but were originally supposed to be chosen by the light before the dark Darkness intervened despite these learnings The Traveler had disappeared from the last City and it seemed that savathun had brought it into her throne world but this was something that the Vanguard could not allow we ultimately battled savathun in order to rescue The Traveler and during this time we revealed the truth about the darkness' deception against her something that she could not believe we eventually defeated her but her ghost amaru escaped before it could be destroyed the Vanguard took savathun's remains for safekeeping at this point the witness was revealed to us for the first time it called out the traveler for all of the death that it had caused in savathun's Throne world we discovered a pyramid ship and inside was one of the witness's disciples named rol we went in and defeated him dealing the witness a major blow kidle agreed to use her forces to help battle against the Lucent Hive that had infected parts of the Soul system she made use of her Scions to wage psychic Warfare against savathun's brood to their connection to the light and captur their leaders so they could learn about their goals Pro raised ethical questions about this strategy and intervened with the equipment facilitating these operations accidentally killing the Scions in the process kidle demanded Crow's life as punishment but saladan stepped in and offered himself instead impressed she decided to spare Crow and she made Saladin a member of her war council becoming braa Forge around this time we also learned that callus had a aligned himself with a witness and the black Fleet and had been supporting the Canan faction that had previously attempted to assassinate Zavala cis's ship the Leviathan suddenly revealed itself above the Moon Guardians investigated and learned that the ship was now also haunted by nightmares Aris Moren then conducted a hive ritual binding us Zavala Crow the crown of sorrow and a nightmare Harvester we used the Harvester to take the nightmares haunting the Allies sever them and then bind them to the crown of of Sorrow weakening Call's connection with the lunar pyramid despite their best effort callus immediately still took control of the pyramid we rushed in with our team and Kyle confronted her father's Consciousness together with kidle we defeated it but callus now a disciple of the witness was still a threat callus later sent a warning message to the last City and informed everyone that the witness is coming for the traveler and that it cannot be stopped Drifter Enlisted the guardian to help smuggle the spider into the elix quarter of the last City once there the spider asked us to go find his catch on Europa and take it back from the house of Salvation we learned from mythrax and his daughter The Scribe Ido that Aramis had been released from her stasis prison by the witness and she was now trying to find relics which contained body parts of nzar these relics were thought to be quite powerful so the Guardians hunted them down to keep them away from the witness ultimately mithrax used these relics to repair a concoction to revive the sleeping Osiris Anna Bray had been attempting to bring back the warm Rasputin ever since Mars was consumed by the darkness the forces of zeu arra infected braek on Europa so we had to fight our way through in order to reach Clovis br's AI once online Rasputin informed us of Clovis bra's plans Clovis wanted to use the war mind to destroy the traveler so that he himself could instead become Humanity Savior and obviously we could not let this happen we also learned that zeu wrath Was preparing ing to invade Earth Aramis by order of the witness had gained control of the war mind and had intended to use the warsat network to destroy the traveler sensing its impending destruction The Traveler began to leave Earth but while it was leaving Rasputin asked Anna to activate his self-destruct sequence destroying him but in turn preventing the Traveler's destruction the plan was successful Rasputin was destroyed and therefore the traveler stopped fleeing in low earth orbit Aramis having lived through the Whirlwind way back when the traveler abandoned the elix asked why the traveler stayed the witness replied because it has nowhere else to run as the pyramids were now on Earth's doorstep we then received a hidden message from Rasputin that he had recorded before his destruction and it revealed that a hidden city was on Neptune where perhaps one of savathun's Secrets could be found in order to help against the witness the witness arrived at the traveler and was given a vision of the location of the veil on Neptune exactly where savathun had previously hidden it the witness then sent callus and his forces to gain access to it working off of the intelligence provided by Rasputin's message we also arrived on Neptune at this time along with Osiris there we met the cloud Striders Rohan and Nimbus who were protecting a hidden human population that relied on the veil for their survival we also discovered the power of Strand and used it in our fight to prevent cis's access to the veil callus first tried to construct a radial Mast to help connect the witness to the Veil but due to our efforts and rohan's sacrifice we were able to destroy it callus then tried to capture the veil by brute force kidle and her forces held him off for some time but ultimately callus pushed past them and made his way to the veil it was there that we confronted him and ultimately defeated him for good however after his death our ghost became possessed and forged a connection with the veil providing a vital link that allowed the witness to open a portal into the traveler the witness then proceeded to enter the traveler this is where it hoped to forge its final shape its perfect version of reality and no one else was able to follow during this time Call's Shadow Legion cabal had been taking human prisoners despite not being Guardians devam K Amanda holiday and mithrax began leading operations to rescue these captives since the witness was now inside the traveler and there was no clear way to follow it we set out to help with their rescue in order to break through their prisons we would travel in and out of the ascendant plane during one such Mission Aramis reached out to mithrax and warned that if he proceeded with this particular rescue attempt he would die despite her warning mithrax and Amanda holiday decided to proceed mithrax found the prisoners but then the facility went into lockdown Amanda hotwired the facility to allow their escape but moments later an explosion took her life during mythra's Escape Aramis also comes and places down some stasis to save myth racks from the explosion Zavala was particularly devastated by the loss of Amanda she had sacrificed her life despite only having one to give the Guardians continued to look for a way through the portal in the traveler but everything continued to fail Titan had returned from the darkness and Deputy Commander Sloan turned out to be alive but in trouble we traveled there and discovered that she had been connecting with a giant sea Leviathan named Assa Assa wanted to help us in our fight against the witness so we worked to strengthen Sloan and asa's connection so that she could communicate with us Assa told us about the origins of the witness and how it embodies an entire civilization that has been hunting The Traveler for Millennia in order to create the final shape we also learned that savathun was the only one who could help us find our way into the traveler to pursue the witness it became clear that we needed to allow savathun's ghost amaru to resurrect the witch Queen but he would only do that if the Guardians helped in defeating zeor Wrath in order to do so aism needed to become much stronger so through the use of the acolyte staff she underwent a ritual to become a hive God herself we became one of her acolytes and we tithed our tributes of War every enemy we defeated made her stronger we continued to strengthen ourselves by battling against Zeus's forces and eventually by slaying one of her top soldiers at this point amaru finally resurrected savathun who was then immediately killed by Eris Mor during this time she briefly became the the most powerful Hive who has ever lived due to enacting sword logic AIS then used this power to banish zeu a wrath from her throne world making her a mortal savathun was then resurrected again and she departed but she left her ghost behind while she was flying though our Guardian noticed a pattern in her wings a pattern that actually represented the 15th and final wish granted by Riven before her defeat a number of years ago after discovering the 15th wish we traveled to the dreaming City to invoke it the spirit of Riven appeared before us but rejected our wish it turned out that Riven was upset over the loss of all her eggs in order for her to grant us that wish Riven wished to strike a bargain she asked for us to First recover some of her remaining eggs that had been lost throughout time we accepted and began to recover her eggs scattered across the ascendant realm once all of the eggs had been recovered Riven finally granted this Last Wish creating a portal into the traveler but only only one person could pass through due to his extremely strong connection with his sister it was decided that Crow would be the single person to enter the traveler the plan is that he can use his strong connection with maras to form a bridge we can all cross so Crow has gone through the portal and is now on his way inside the traveler as expected marov can still feel his presence so it's only a matter of time before we can follow although we've witnessed missed quite a story over these past 10 years we've also seen some absolutely incredible weapons in the history of Destiny from the rain of the original Galah horn to the dominance of the Brave Arsenal these weapons have defined our experiences as Guardians and that's why I recommend watching this video covering the entire evolution of Destiny's weapons with that said I hope you enjoyed this Abridged version of Destiny's story if you did feel free to leave a like and if you get one of these surveys leaving a five-star rating helps a ton as always though thank you so much for watching and I'll catch you in the next one
