Destiny 2: The Final Shape - Prelude
0Sorry for the constant "Contacting Destiny 2 servers" message. This was recorded on the launch day of The Final Shape, June 4, 2024, and the servers were infamously and notoriously lousy.
The prelude to the 8th expansion of Destiny 2 and the final expansion of The Light and Darkness Saga, The Final Shape.
The Final Shape centers on the Witness, the main overarching antagonist of the Light and Darkness saga (which began with the original Destiny) who was first introduced at the end of The Witch Queen. The Witness is an extremely powerful, primordial being of Darkness that commands the Black Fleet, and is the product of an entire species having merged into one entity and a single gestalt consciousness through the mastery of the Darkness. It has spent eons chasing the Traveler as part of its eternal pursuit to impose "salvation" upon all reality through the titular Final Shape—the calcification and destruction of all life in the universe. The Witness has been ultimately responsible for humanity's Collapse, as well as for the destruction of countless civilizations across the universe throughout millennia, either by its hand or through the actions of its Disciples and other servants, such as the Hive.
During the events of Lightfall a year ago, the Witness and the Black Fleet attacked the Traveler in Earth's orbit, where it was granted a vision of the Veil, the counterpart of the Traveler, on Neptune; the player's Guardian was sent to the human city of Neomuna on Neptune to locate the Veil and defend it from Emperor Calus—the newest Disciple of the Witness—and his Shadow Legion Cabal; however, after Calus's defeat, the Witness used the Light from the Guardian's Ghost to perform an uplink with the Veil, allowing the Witness to use the Veil's power to open a portal on the Traveler's surface and enter its Pale Heart to begin enacting the Final Shape. During Season of the Deep, the proto-Worm God Ahsa revealed to the Guardian the origins of the Witness, and that Savathûn, the Witch Queen, needed to be revived in order to find a way into the Pale Heart. During Season of the Witch, the Guardian forces Immaru, Savathûn's Ghost, to revive the Witch Queen, who reveals a 15th wish (from the Wish Wall of Forsaken's Last Wish raid) upon her resurrection that could be granted by the spirit of the deceased Ahamkara Riven of a Thousand Voices in the Dreaming City. During Season of the Wish, the Guardian retrieves Riven's clutch of eggs as part of a deal with Riven to grant the wish, allowing singular passage into the Pale Heart; Crow volunteers to go through the portal and unlock the way for the Guardian and the Vanguard due to his connection with his sister, Queen Mara Sov. During Into the Light, while awaiting contact with Crow, the Last City comes under attack by the Black Fleet and the forces of the Witness, prompting the Guardian and the Vanguard to utilize Lord Shaxx's personal collection of powerful and dangerous weapons and gear to defend the Last City. The Guardian then returns to the Black Garden at the behest of Osiris, where they discover that the Sol Divisive Vex had recreated the Black Heart (revealed to be a failed replica of the Veil created by the Witness) in a final attempt to prevent the Guardian and the Vanguard from passing through the portal, and the Guardian destroys it once again; meanwhile, Crow successfully passes through the portal and arrives in the Pale Heart, where he is greeted by the spirit of Cayde-6, who initially attacks Crow but relents as he discovers Crow is a Guardian and not his murderer Uldren Sov.
