greetings guardians my name is bife here today we're going to be talking about some
of the more fascinating elements of the pyramid ship in savithon's throne world and it's going
to be related of course to the raid law but of course it's also got other elements to it because
there can't just be one thing we're talking about inside that pyramid it's all interconnected and
it's all very complex so today we're covering topics that in particular talk about the worms
their purpose the experiments that have clearly been conducted by rock within the pyramid
and what may be his greatest success in this endeavor the caretaker the first boss that
you face in the raid really this video is predominantly about the caretaker but the
law around it requires us to look deeper into the rest of the stuff happening inside that pyramid
it seems a little odd to talk about this next but realistically this relates to what the witness and
rolk were planning and it's a big deal as far as the future of the universe in destiny is concerned
so let's start with this very simple question what is the caretaker well we can clearly see
that it's a massive scorn abomination but it works with a degree of tact and sensibility
and even intelligence that's not particularly common to abominations they tend to simply be
lumbering hulks that are designed as beasts of burden terrifying and bloated by dark ether it
can be easily speculated by everyone though that the caretaker is far more than just that
we discover this massive entity in the collection section of the raid where the second encounter
begins and i think at this point we need to start by talking a little bit about well the start of
the raid as well as what we see here in this next section we see the caretaker tending to this thing
i'm going to go ahead and call this yeah a resonant locus i think or resonant charlotte
yeah we'll go with resonant shard on this one but it is a locus of dark energy and you can see
that it's got that same concentration of resonant energy that you'll see at the various other shards
at rulk it's even got that same energy that's on lubrey's ruin his weapon when he's wielding it
so it's very clear that this is a lot of darkness energy but i think that this actually indicates a
lot more to do with the caretaker's role in the pyramid and i think it's here that we need to
go ahead and point out something that we also get not only in the caretaker encounter but
also at the opening of the raid and that is the knowledge buffs in the opening encounter you get
these little pickups called knowledge knowledge is used to power up the resonant shard again that's
what i'm going to call it that we get the very beginning the sort of escort the payload type
deal that you have to get into the pyramid and of course we use this as a means of access for the
pyramid at first but in the caretaker encounter we also get knowledge from entering the rooms at
the back where we have the various taken wizards that are guarding over it that combined with the
caretaker sort of looking over and inspecting that resonant locus in the middle which again is
kind of similar to the one that we had at the very beginning i don't think it's the same but it might
hold the same purpose it all kind of goes to show that these are stores of energy and information
and perhaps considering the way that the resonant energy of the darkness and deep side works there's
memory within there too all of this is speculative as is the nature of our understanding of deep
sight at the moment generally but it makes me consider the fact that the caretaker is
as a result playing a role in this place they're not just worshiping this giant resonant shard
it's perhaps the fact that the caretaker is a combination of different roles within this area
a joint curator librarian and security system all rolled into one who has been placed there
as a curator and guardian of the knowledge that rook has stored within of course this further
implies that the collection area is almost like a library or a repository of knowledge for rolk
all of this of course is just a series of best guesses but i don't think that this is something
that's too far off the mark here again totally speculative but it's stuff we can draw from the
environmental clues and from well the names of all the different things we pick up in the raid
however what further guesses and observations we can make about the caretaker also extend into the
rest of rock's plans and it's by investigating those plans that we can start to uncover some
of the truly intriguing possibilities of what's going on with the pyramid and why the caretaker is
kind of an indication of how far rook has really come to do that we need to go ahead and head to
the enclave after the raid has been completed after the raid was completed for the first time
a note was left on the evidence board for us a note left by mara sov that note reads as follows
while investigating the sunken pyramid i encountered scorner massing in large numbers
within regardless of how many of the wretches i slaughtered more flooded in to take their place
with rock dead we naturally assumed they would abandon the pyramid but clearly they have other
plans furthermore they appear to be co-opting hive magics for reasons i was unable to decipher
perhaps this is something to do with your ongoing investigation
i have not the time to stay and fight more urgent matters called my attention away this
situation however should be attended to promptly as the scorn show no signs of slowing the advance
so we'd know this from mara and this is what leads us to the preservation mission this is
kind of the catalyst for it as well of course as finch who gives us a little prompt to go ahead
and conduct it when investigating the pyramid it turns out that hive magics in question involve a
series of rituals that the scorn are attempting to conduct and they involve what are known as
resonant runes hive runes but resonant nonetheless i'm going to go ahead and make a note here that
it seems as though almost anything labeled resonant outside of the black armory's context
in this expansion should be noted as related at least tangentially to the darkness the pyramid
the contents within or maybe to deep sight we get a little bit more context
on all of this when we complete our mission within the pyramid and the investigation
the evidence board tells us the following when we follow up with it at the end
in your explorations of the pyramid you've learned that the scorn were attempting to increase their
power by using resonant runes stolen from the loosened brood in combination with worm larvae
based on the reports from those who first entered to defeat rulk
it seems these ritualistic experiments were a holdover from the plans of the disciple himself
one hidden agent goes so far as to speculate that the scorn caretaker was itself the result of a
successful worm fusion whatever the score know of imaru's plans it's enough to motivate them to
enhance their power further in order to counter his moves the pyramid should be continuously
monitored as the scorn showed no signs of slowing down visit the pyramid regularly to clear the area
so the scorn were attempting to fuse themselves with the worms in order to enhance their power
and it's speculated that the caretaker might have been a successful trial of this ritual remember
that when one consumes one of the worms it ties them to darkness and requires that individual
to endlessly kill and destroy to survive an unending blood tithe in exchange for immortality
so this is the reason the scorn are infiltrating the pyramid each week in the preservation mission
in order to counter the power of the loosened brood which is being enhanced by umaru and his
plans savathun's ghost is imaru by the way however the biggest revelation of all that comes from this
is that roelk was doing this this same plan of feeding worms to the scorn well before the
preservation mission became available way before we raided the pyramid and
well you can go ahead and tell that because of the environmental storytelling and yeah take a
look back inside the pyramid because yeah there's lots of things that look like this you see inside
that glass i don't know if it's glass or ice but there's tons of these pods some of them have worms
some of them have different sections of worms that have been cut into giant cross sections some
of the worm cross sections are so large that you can walk through them remember scheiter the worm
in the middle of the raid she is the source of all these worms and remember where they're going
if the question was asked a very long time ago originally they would have been going to the hive
the pyramid in savathun's throne world and the dark city set up nearby are all part of pyramid
installations meant to be as breeding grounds for these worms so that the hive could fuel their dark
armies and feed more destruction and more worms to the newly birthed thrall now however it's
clear that they are being fed to different groups of supplicants rulk has been using these larvae
these worms that came from scheiter to feed subjugated scorn and just as he did with the hive
this is giving them a degree of power and a degree of servitude towards both him and the
witness the scorn's own rituals were attempting to follow that of the disciple and more chillingly
if we're to believe what is speculated by the hidden some of these rituals were successful we
can even see within the glass when you see strange figures there if you look closely
there are four arms something that is very much akin to a scorn or an elixir although i doubt
that it's a fallen because of the fact that we see scorn all over the place and i don't understand
how an elixir would have ended up in the throne world furthermore look at the very top of the head
you can see a worm in every single one of these glass cases a worm being fed to the
scorn all these scorn are frozen in animation and it's something that doesn't quite make sense
perhaps these are all failed experiments maybe these are the ones that went before the caretaker
maybe they're in gestation maybe these are vital pieces of knowledge but either way it shows
very clearly that rulk has been doing this for quite some time the scorn have been turned into a
dark army of sorts and rulk is the one that's made them do this the only curious part of all this
that remains is the speculation on the nature of the caretaker is it really a successful
fusion of the worms and scorn if it follows in the footsteps of the hive then it's very lucky that we
killed such a remarkably powerful entity in its relative infancy remember that the first of the
successful fusions of the worms and the krill led to three hive gods oryx shiva wrath and savathun
beings that were rightly considered gods and led to the deaths of billions upon
billions of individuals so who knows what the caretaker might have become in time
at this moment it might simply have been another supplicant of rulks someone that
was left in a duty of custodianship for the time being but times change people and it was showing
a degree of intelligence that was uncommon to most abominations i don't know exactly what's
going on but i think it's fair to speculate that it's good that we killed this thing when we did
a lot of this of course is speculative and a lot of the videos going forward
are going to have a lot of speculative stuff especially when the evidence board is concerned
but right now i think regardless of where the lines lie where the truth is the one thing we
can absolutely agree on is the fact that this is dangerous and if this is anywhere close to the
real plans of rulk and the witness then we need to be very much well aware of where the scorn go next
i would think that one of the key questions going forward is not simply is there another pyramid out
there somehow capable of creating more worms but also what happens next to the great leaders of
the scorn and in particular what i want to know where is the fanatic where is fickrell because i
feel as though that is the only way now that we have a reasonable chance of dividing the scorn
and even then maybe it's too late when you go into the preservation mission and even when you roam
around the throne world sometimes you will still see major scorn that are named the fanatics chosen
now maybe this is a holdover title from when they previously were the fanatics chosen or maybe
fickrell has joined the ranks of the darkness and if he has then that really is troublesome
that means that the scorn are absolutely allied to the witness and now they are truly
a part of the dark army there is nothing that we can do to sway them from the fight
all of this goes back to say that the caretaker is an example of some really terrifying experiments
that might have gone right for rolk and the witness and if they have continued unabated or
if there are more worms out there that have been able to feed the different armies of the scorn
then we might be seeing more abominations just like the caretaker out there at some other point
i don't know how many of saita's children are out there i don't know if somehow yul or aya or uh
could be used in a similar manner but regardless this is a plan that has been put in motion
and the subjugated that stand with the witness and rulk are something to be concerned about
so with all of that being said i hope you found this interesting it's a lot more theoretical today
because that's the nature of a lot of the lore in witch queen but hey hopefully it was something of
interest tomorrow we're going to be going over the big daddy roll claw yeah no there's a lot
i've been trying to push that script back a little bit because there's a lot of stuff to write and
it might take an extra day i'm not 100 certain but we're going to try and make sure that we can keep
daily content going a quick side note at the very end thank you so much for all the support you guys
have been absolutely incredible thus far in the last 30 days which does not include the start of
the real witch queen period of time which would have been the 21st 22nd yeah we have made this
the most successful 20 days worth of content on the channel in terms of views we could be
on track to crack a new record and that would be incredible so thank you so much this is amazing
and yeah i'm really glad that everyone is enjoying the videos if you do want to make sure that you
catch all of them go ahead and hit subscribe bell next to subscribe all that typical stuff
if you enjoy them go ahead and leave a like and leave your own thoughts down below in the comments
section do you think that rolk's caretaker is a successful experiment do you reckon that it was
fed a worm or do you reckon that it's just a very chunky scorn as per usual though do know that your
viewership is quite enough for me and that in the meantime my name has been my name is bife
harold darcia ardastra i'll see you starside
you
