The Entire Story of Destiny! (Summarized in 40 Minutes)



Starting with the earliest known events of the Destiny universe and ending with The Final Shape, this is the entire story of Destiny. If you’ve ever taken a break from the game, this video should help fill you in about what you missed, and prepare you to jump back in with a good understanding of the recent story events and the overall Light and Darkness saga. This video is a recap, so nothing is explained in extreme detail, but all major plot points are still covered.

These vids are kinda cool, maybe go watch them next?

  1. when u mention the darkness talking to us or possessing our ghost it was the witness who did all that the witness just uses the darkness he isn’t the darkness

  2. Now knowing most of the important context, I still think that Nezzy Coffee to wake up Osiris is the most fucking random thing that ever happened in the entirety of Destiny's Timeline and that's saying something.
    39:12 also, totally important lore: Proof that our Guardian is canonically actually really good at drawing.

  3. Is there any way that you can make the script available? I have a friend trying to get into Destiny, and she was saying she’d prefer reading something, as it’s easier for her to retain the info that way.

  4. This feels like a stitched together bundle of words taken from in game cutscenes and descriptions. A lot of context is missing for things. Not even a sentence about what a Guardian is or what the Last City is before you talk about meeting the Vanguard in D1.

    I guess I sort of understand if you’re sticking strict to gameplay events but this doesn’t actually help tell the story of Destiny very well if it’s just a synopsis of missions.

  5. I first started playing D2 during Season of the Drifter. Now I get it. This story is incredibly deep and complex. My man just illuminated us all in under 45 mins where there are some videos that are 11hrs deep. Well done.

  6. 34:36 It's unclear if The Traveller moved away from the last city because of the threat to it or the threat to the city (and its people). The Traveller could have simply been running but it also could have been leaving the city so its people were not hurt in the conflict. Additionally the explanation that The Traveller has no where else to run may be correct but it could also be finally making its stand. Rasputin sacrificed himself to protect the traveller and it in turn may have stayed to protect the Sol system. "Devotion inspires bravery, bravery inspires sacrifice, sacrifice leads to death."

  7. This video is a great summary of the story. But man seeing the old D2 clips makes me realize how big of an improvement the lighting engine upgrade was. Yes the changes are subtle but when added together it looks like a much more beautiful game.

  8. Thank you so much for this summary! I played D2 from the beginning, and then left after the Curse of Osiris due to burnout. I came back again in Beyond Light, and while I had played through Shadowkeep and everything else I could at the time, I was definitely lost story/lore-wise. This video helped me consolidate all the things I knew and didn't, and now I've got a better idea of what it is we'd been up to this whole time. I mean, I did lots and lots of pew pew and grinding, but things were disjointed. Kudos, job well done!
