In the center of a comparatively easy season of easy content material, Destiny 2 has quietly snuck in an enormous puzzle that has despatched gamers exploring the Corridors of Time. We final went by there to rescue our previous pal Saint-14 from his fated dying, and now I’m beginning to surprise if altering historical past was one of the best thought. (Of course it was: he’s a fantastic mate.) Where does this result in? Dunno! What will we earn? It’s a secret! But it’s fairly enjoyable for Destiny to get again to secret puzzles that aren’t solved immediately. I’m having fun with seeing gamers working collectively to chase leads.
Tuesday is replace day for Destiny 2, although nothing is on the calendar for this week and Bungie haven’t mentioned they added something. But they did. Visit Osiris close to his time machine on Mercury for a brand new quest, ‘Exploring the Corridors of Time’.
“You charted the Corridors of Time and succeeded where Osiris failed,” Saint tells us within the quest description. “What else might you find in those temporal halls?” If you need to discover all of it out for your self, cease studying now.
So again into the Corridors went a stream of Guardians, wandering aimlessly till somebody seen that this season’s Obelisks have began displaying symbols.
These symbols correlate to symbols on pillars close to portals within the Corridors, giving a bit of map of a route to achieve a selected timeline (learn them clockwise beginning at 1). The symbols have modified each hour, revealing extra routes. So far, each timeline gamers have charted results in the identical place: an altar tomb, seemingly of a revered Guardian.
This isn’t the tomb the place we as soon as discovered Saint-14, drained of his Light and killed after centuries misplaced in time combating the Vex. This appears to be like like a slice of the true world reduce out of time. We can’t get too shut or we’ll be teleported away.
If you need to discover the Corridors, your reward at every endpoint is a chapter of a brand new lorebook and you may get a brand new emblem too. Follow this guide for all of these.
I’ve disliked Destiny’s complicated puzzles after they’ve locked out one thing new I had been anticipating (like the puzzle to open Bergusia Forge) however as one thing coming wholly as a shock, heck yeah, let’s go.
This is just the primary layer of the puzzle, thoughts. The tomb rooms additionally reveal extra symbols and patterns that gamers are amassing and poring over, looking for patterns and the following step. What occurs subsequent, we have no idea.
Here comes a second spoiler warning: some gamers who’ve been digging round within the game’s knowledge information, uncovering snippets earlier than they have been added to the game, have some concepts.
Honestly, cease studying at this level if you wish to benefit from the season because it unfolds and uncover every part in its pure context. That can be the smart determination.
Some yet-unused dialogue dug out of knowledge information appears to be Saint-14 studying our eulogy. He talks about marking the grave with a sword he as soon as gave us, and there’s a sword atop this thriller grave alright. This might be a coincidence however appears a transparent signal of the place this quest is headed. You can hearken to that hear if you happen to really need:
Osiris as soon as despatched copies of himself to discover the Corridors and discover a timeline the place Saint survived, however couldn’t. We managed to discover a route which led to Saint at simply the best time. Now each timeline we discover is resulting in our personal grave. That appears unhealthy. Saint’s eulogy looks as if it’s written for a scene the place we overhear throughout time and struggle on after he implores us to as soon as once more overcome unimaginable odds, so I think about we’ll be effective ultimately. But what would possibly that imply for Saint? And when do I get this cool sword?
If you need to comply with makes an attempt to unravel the brand new thriller, Raidsecrets on Reddit goes full-speed. Secret-solving streamers like Gladd are broadcasting their makes an attempt too, although it appears they’re lastly delivering for the night time. Bring on the European shift!
