Regardless of its occasional blunders, the Future franchise has efficiently fostered a group of intelligent and constant secret hunters and lore theorists who’re all the time desperate to share their ideas with the remainder of their friends. Typically, this implies veering deep into Future‘s most obscure items of lore, with expectedly combined outcomes. One of many newest theories that’s been posted on the r/DestinyLore subreddit, nonetheless, has extra advantage than most, and it might be heading in the right direction, given all the pieces it’s obtained going for it.

Particularly, Level8Vermin lately posted an thought of how one in every of Lightfall‘s largest mysteries would possibly unravel come The Ultimate Form. Regardless that gamers do know by now that 2024’s DLC will see Guardians going contained in the Traveler of their pursuit of the Witness, it’s at the moment not possible to journey by the unusual triangular portal. The primary narrative of the continuing Season of the Witch is centered round Savathun’s coy hints as to how the Guardians would possibly overcome this downside, and Level8Vermin’s comes up with a concept that seemingly matches the invoice. Do watch out for spoilers, although!

Is the outdated Nezarec lore key for The Ultimate Form?

Based on Level8Vermin’s findings, the important thing to the portal lies in Nezarec, the Ultimate God of Ache. Although the creature is now lifeless(ish), because of the Guardians’ raid exploits, one of many older seasons noticed Osiris ingest Nezarec’s essence to get up from a coma. This took place because of Mithrax’s concerted efforts to supply bits and items of Nezarec, revealing alongside the best way that merely killing the being off isn’t sufficient to do away with it. Now, with Mithrax seemingly being haunted by the essence of Nezarec, issues might be falling into place.

Level8Vermin combines this data, alongside among the newer tidbits of mysterious, in any other case unrelated lore, with the oldest Nezarec-themed merchandise within the sport: the Nezarec’s Sin Warlock helmet. Its description has, up till lately, been extraordinarily cryptic, however Level8Vermin’s concept offers context that probably is smart of it. “When the guiding shine fades and all appears misplaced he’ll name to you,” says the helmet.

It’s a really entertaining piece of textual content that appears remarkably believable, contemplating Bungie’s penchant to incorporate mysteries and trace at issues to return years earlier than they really occur. But, Level8Vermin’s concept is at the moment simply that: a concept. The Future 2 group has gone on chasing wild geese greater than as soon as, so it’s value taking this submit with a pinch of salt at hand. However not an excessive amount of, since you by no means know.
