After some time, the Coming War Cult, using many of the latest technologies, predicts a huge danger for the Vanguard, but the Vanguard is self-confident and neglects the instructions.
And after some time, the prophecy comes true, and the Cabal faction, namely the Red Legion, led by Ghaul. Having disconnected all communications, the character arrives in the city, observes that it is practically destroyed, and also observes what was the purpose of the attack – he came for The Traveler, he was going to capture the light and receive all his gifts, namely abilities and immortality.
In order to understand the nature of The Traveler and the light, Ghaul captures the Herald and interrogates him, and does not believe that Ghaul will be able to take possession of the light. After all, in order to accept it requires sacrifice, devotion, and death.
The Guardian quickly gets to the leader of the attack, but as soon as he locates Ghaul, he activates his technology and suppresses the Light of all Guardians throughout the galaxy.
Ghaul defeats the guard, and throws him off the ship into the ruins of the city. The Guardian survives and makes it out of the city while watching the Cabal deal with the remnants of the Guardians. Having got out of the city, the guard stumbles upon a small settlement on a farm, and gets acquainted with Hawthorne. And by coincidence, a fragment of The Traveler is found not far from the farm, the Guardian makes his way to it and receives Light and abilities.
And now the guards have to unite the Vanguard by finding all the leaders –
Zaval, Cayde-6 and Ikora. After meeting with Zavala on Titan and helping him solve a problem with the Hive on Titan, they intercept the Red Legion’s signal and learn of their plans to destroy the Sun.
After the guard is sent to help the head of the vanguard of hunters – Cayde-6, who is stuck in a Vex trap. Our guard manages to help him and as a reward we get a Vex teleporter.
And the final part is Ikora Rey which is located on Io, Jupiter’s moon. The guards await the cabal and the possessed. And as a result, Asher Mir provides us with data about the ship “Almighty” and how to get on it.
Having infiltrated the ship and sabotaged, and in the name of the general confusion, the consul, without Ghaul’s order, kills the Herald before he learns the necessary information, and now Ghaul is forced to take the light from The Traveler by force. In the final fight with the Guardian, they both use The Traveler’s light. But at the last moment, Ghaul turns into a disembodied and huge creature, and The Traveler, freed from the device, releases a powerful surge of energy that destroys Ghaul and returns the Light to all Guardians.
And this surge has two important meanings:
-He attracts the attention of the Pyramids of Darkness, who moved into the solar system behind The Traveler
-And the ship of the Emperor of the Cabal in exile arrives in the system and shares data on other forces, of course, not just like that, but after passing the test in the Leviathan raid
Destiny 2 Curse of Osiris
During this, Warlock Osiris explores time simulations and stumbles upon a future in which the Vex take over the entire system. They attack him, and at the last moment, Osiris sends his ghost Sagira to the present. And he himself is locked up.
The followers of Osiris discover his ghost on Mercury and give the shell to Ikora Rey at the Vanguard, who was Osiris’ apprentice, to find Osiris and help save him.
At the request of Ikora, the guardian goes to Mercury and, upon arriving at the place, encounters an impenetrable wall in front of the “Endless Forest”, a kind of Osiris simulation laboratory. But in order to move further to Osiris, you need to restore his ghost. And this can be done on the EDZ and during recovery, but there it accidentally inhabits the shell of our ghost. And then it helps to enter the forest, and the projections of Osiris tell how the simulation works. And after searching, the guard comes across that very simulation, and in that, there is no light and darkness, everything is subject to the Vex.
The guards discover Panoctes, the Vex superintelligence that is leading the Vex army to what we saw in the simulation, and the guard is forced to retreat. But after a long preparation, together with Ikora Rey, they find a way to go through the simulation directly to Panoctes, and there the guard finds Osiris himself. Together with whom they destroy the mind of the Vex, they get out and save Osiris himself. Osiris stays behind and creates a machine called the “Sundial” that opens doors to different dimensions.
