Destiny’s first DLC, The Dark Below, arrives tomorrow.
Here’s everything you’re gonna wanna know before jumping back in!
But another jot down of Bounty might not be enough.
Hopefully, gateway character Eris Morn introduces some more emotion into the story.
Meet Eris and Crota in this trailer:
A bit of recap…
The Guardians live in the massive Tower in the last city on Earth.
After that fight, though, humanity was weakened and the Earth scarcely populated.
Except for the Ghosts, which continue to revive Guardians, it is silent.
The Speaker, who gives the Guardians their most important missions, senses this.
The Traveler is either healing or dying.
Some fans speculate that the Traveler was originally designed as a malevolent entity, and its Guardians unknowing pawns.
Unless…you are being pushed.
Mostly, she uses us to her advantage.
Beyond that, the story is thin.
The player is lead from battlefield to battlefield by the mysterious Exo Stranger, a warrior without a Ghost.
There the player destroys the heart of the Garden, decreasing the Darkness.
In the Vault of Glass, a team of six Guardians faces the Templar, a devious Vex.
So by the time the player reachesThe Dark Below, he or she is an accomplished warrior.
you could guess how that went since only Eris survived the journey.
In any other game, she might be the protagonist.
Was she mutated in some way?
The Hive travel through space in a magical stasis that keeps them alive for millennia.
Like the other races, the Hive are broken into sects operating with similar goals under different banners.
The Spawn of Crota seek to bring the undead king Crota to power on the moon.
Then theres the Blood of Oryx sect, which serve, appropriate enough, Oryx Crotas father.
The Blood of Oryx sect has been busy writing their dark lords name in Hive rituals.
Were not sure whether the other sects were okay with this vandalism.
We might get to see some infighting between the Hive sects if Bungie decides to develop this.
Crota, son of Oryx is considered to be a god.
It doesnt look like players will encounter him inThe Dark Below.
First, you have to keep the Hive forces from growing stronger.
Youll have to defeat her to get out of the new Strike, Will of Crota, alive.
Jump into the Hellmouth just in case.
Youve probably seen the Hellmouth before.
The Hellmouth was one of the first areas designed for the Moon.
The Crotas End Raid will have a difficulty of level 30.
Its hard mode, which will be set at the level cap of 32, wont open until January.
Thank the maker….er, Traveler?!
Along the same line, Exotic weapons will no longer need Ascendant Shards and Energy to upgrade.
You dont have to farm the damn things.
The convenience is killing me.
Bungie also buffed many of the Exotic weapons that players thought didnt deliver on their promise.
So you could stop complaining about your guns now, and go shoot things with them.
