Destiny 2 Lore - Explaining Heresy, Hive Gods, The Dreadnought & What to Expect.

Destiny 2's Lore and Story approaching Heresy relates to an upending of the Hive God Pantheon. We'll be returning to the Dreadnought and we're bound to find the new owner of the final Echo, but what else can we expect? Today I wanted to explain what we're likely to see in Heresy and speculate a little about possible plotlines.

It's gonna be Kelgorath

It would be very interesting if the Echo turns out to be a lucid Osmium King. I wonder how both Savathun and Xivu Arath would respond to hearing their father's voice for the first time in millenia, as a sane man rather than one driven mad by the Witness.

I know destiny isn’t the best right now but I’ll always show up for a Byf video no matter what. I just love the investigative nature of lore discussions, always gets me excited.

Considering that this is the last episode until the next “major” DLC, it might be a good idea for me to jump back in after nearly a half a year afk. Plus, i loved the Dreadnaught from The Taken King, would love me some nostalgia right now.

Thanks for the refresher, Byf!

In D1 when you defeat then Taken Cabal Centurion and Ogre just before you face Oryx there is a door behind the portal you can scan. Your ghost says this is where the hive keep powerful things locked up that they can't control and haven't figured out how to weaponize yet.

Oryx, and his resurrection is the Heresy, just how Savathun's was in Xivu's eyes

Once again, we're at a make it break moment with the hive gods being the turning point. Let's hope for the best

The Heresy concept art makes me excited. I also just love the Hive lol

@screeaveDestination 1 year ago

The way you tell all this sounds so much more exciting than it probably will be ingame.

They could pull the ultimate gotcha and give Kelgorath the echo...

@BrazarB 1 year ago (edited)

Since the Echo's are victims the Witness has conquered/consumed, very curious to what the next one's gonna be, maybe Taox?

I still think Oryx will have a role to play in Heresy, but it's WHAT ROLE? He isn't dead, just 'absent' as his remains continue to evolve.

@Noblesix84 1 year ago

I don't want to be a buzz kill, but it's possible the decay of the Dreadnought is just natural decay. Without Oryx to control the ship and a proper, organized force to maintain it, it's possible the natural parts of the ship are finally rotting away. That could still serve as part of the story and theme of Heresy.

It going to be that random hive inside the crystal near the entrance to the dreadnought from the campaign, right after we looses Eris ship. Also we've never address the fate of a throne world that has lost its master. Both Crota and Oryxthrone worlds fade into irreverence after were done with the raid.

I really hope our guardian gets to claim the last echo and use it as a weapon

@austinwilson7373 1 year ago

What do we all think of Oryx having involvement in this episode?

We know:
-His body is alive
-A soul chunk of his is in Touch of Malice
-His Worm is unaccounted for
-And Eris flipped his card in the deck after flipping the other two hive gods and herself indicating his role may not be over

33:48 I would LOVE Fynch to return, but he’s become one of those npcs that only exist for the sake of existing. He’s literally not been involved in any story content since WQ’s campaign, and idk if that’s just because of his VA not being available or what the deal is there, but I love the little skittish dude! A bit annoying at times, yes, but I just want to see him get some more screen time.
