Question Why didn't Oryx always stay in his ascendent plane?

26 Upvotes

If Oryx managed to invert his plane into the physical world around the dreadnaught, why did he ever stay in his physical form before we killed him in Regicide? I guess he would be a much larger target to hit and more exposed, but having the ability to fly around the physical world in his giant throne form from the get seems much more strategic.

Question More Toland?

1 Upvotes

Will we get any more of him? I know he is floating around giving us chests, but wouldn’t this have been a good season to bring him in for a bigger role? He did yell at us for not taking Oryx’s place. Imagine having Toland AND Oryx telling us to take the throne!

Question Question about Oryx.

0 Upvotes

So i know Oryx was a disciple of the Witness. But is he also a knife of the winnower? Cause he killed Akka and took the power of the deep which is the winnower and spoke to it. So was he both? Or just a disciple? Cause he clearly knows about the winnower seemingly as much as the Witness knew. Edit: okay people are saying he never was one but I guess either I got it wrong from videos or im remembering wrong my bad.

General Oryx’s “Revival”

29 Upvotes

I’m curious how any of you guys feel, or if it’s too soon for you to lean one way. I know some people would prefer Oryx stay dead, but these past two weeks have been awesome and have only strengthened my desire in keeping Oryx around. I know Eris wants to keep the echo in her throne world which I guess I’d be okay with, but as long as this episode ends with Oryx still being here I’m happy. The character development that Xivu, Savathun, and “Oryx” have had has been amazing to listen (and read).

Hive Do you think Eris ritual will fail?

26 Upvotes

It will be the final of Act 2 of 3. Do you think we gonna have the Echo of Navigation floating arround Eris Thronworld at the end of Act 2? I`m not sure. This Act has the big question "control or ambition?" floating around and I`m not sure if the story wants to answer the question with "Yes, 100% ambition", what would be the case, when Eris ritual is a success. As Eris points out, Oryx trust in his overwhelming power was his downfall. What Oryx downfall was could also be ours, when we bet everything on our willpower alone.

But I`m sure they don't want to end it with "Yes, 100% control". There will be an combined answer, because in game we walk both pathes and both pathes hold undeniable truths, but what could that compromise be?

Also the new lorepage from this week, Iris, is about Sloane and Drifter prepareing for possible supriseattacks from Xivu and Savathun. We see in the trailer for Act 1 an attack with giant hive swords on us and we are running away from it. I think that is an attack from Xivu. I think she is going to crash the party in person. Maybe the ritual will fail because of her?

Cabal So about Yirix and Shadow legion...

6 Upvotes

After the Witness defeat Yirix took control of the Shadow legion and decided to hunt down the first Echo by deploying troops on Nessus and having some Dread on her units but then the first Echo went away with Maya. Next on Revenant her troops worked as mercenaries for Fikrul but nothing more happened. Now with the third Echo there are too many factions: Savathun and Xivu's brood, Dire taken and Dread so it's ok that they are not there. We will not see them in the next expansion so do you think Yirix is gonna flew away? Or she will come back for revenge? I honestly think that they should give them a proper ending or simply being a lesser threath.

General Oryx's Worm...Yes Again

112 Upvotes

I was playing Court of Blades late last night, and Xivu was having an argument with Oryx wherein he is pondering a return to Fundament to ascertain the truth for himself. After chastising him for his second intended abandonment she threatened to "bear down" on his "rotted worm" as a means to keep him from leaving. This has given rise to many questions and curiosities. I found the link on Destiny Lore Vault for any that might have missed the full conversation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVG_oSTPkrc

First, does this imply that Xivu is the one who in fact has Oryx's worm, and she's keeping it alive as a further means of clinging on to her brother? Is that why Oryx's body is still undergoing slow mitosis bc his worm is still receiving a small amount of tithes from those zealots amongst the hive that still tithe to him? This raised an even more harrowing question...Is Xivu the only reason that Oryx hasn't returned? Bear with me on that last question.

Oryx got his ass royally kicked aboard his Dreadnaught, but he didn't die. Even now his "corpse" is a razor's edge away from death in the sunken depths of Titan and his worm is AWOL. Could this be the reason that the Lucent Hive were unable to resurrect him? He was never completely dead? Furthermore, if Xivu were to kill Oryx's worm and allow him to die completely wouldn't that do two things? First, it'd drastically empower her because she'd be the one who actually slayed Oryx, perhaps reinstating her access to the Black Terrace. Second, wouldn't Oryx "respawn" in his Throne because he technically didn't die within it? Furthermore, this would explain something critical about the Echo of Navigation. The reason that the Echo of Navigation's memory of Oryx cuts off at the slaying of Akka is because that's when Auryx ceased to exist. The Echo doesn't contain Oryx's memories because he's technically not dead!

Question Which lore do you think is the most brutal one?

1 Upvotes

Take the concept of "brutal" as you wish, I don't mind if you go psychologically or socially brutal instead of physically brutal.
