So, devs, story team, anyone with any knowledge not currently in game, since there are no new lore books and the collectibles reveal nothing particularly relevant to the situation; how did Oryx end up on Titan? It's pretty much established if not confirmed inside current cannon that Oryx fell toward Saturn, being pulled by gravity or just shunted away by the force of our attacks, inside the rings, which is absolutely outside the range of where Titan exists. Did Xivu find his body and drag it there for "burial"? Did Savathun? Did she really think she could bring him back with the light given his absolute aversion to it? Did he somehow magically avoid the massive gravitational pull of Saturn for a quick swing around the block to land with a flip in Titans ocean? How did he manage to land so close to the arcology and no one have any idea about it? Would that not have been a thing the hidden would have tracked? Given our knowledge of Hive gods being revived using mere memories? How did this leap in logic ever come to be? I need an explanation that isn't as mudane as "space magic" to make this make sense. Because otherwise you're taking some massive leaps and bounds outside the realm of a nearly decade long story for some really obvious plot holes.
Make it make sense for me and the millions of people who have invested in the lore of this universe. I beg of you.

I beg of you.[/quote] Oryx fell into Titan, while he may have gone towards Saturn its almost impossible to tell what happened between then and him landing its possible if he slungshot around Saturn which is what must have happened. Also while he is big hes not that big, i can imagine being near a planet with rings its common to see stray objects land in the ocean, hes also not that close hes a decent distance away. It seems that Savathun knew the location of Oryx body since that way Lucent Brood we encountered which were Savathuns forces. As well there is no reason to believe he would not be able to be resurrected just because he was the Taken King (you said aversion this is what I imagine you mean specifically) the Light resurrected Savathun so there is no reason to believe it cant resurrect Oryx. As well the death of Oryx was a little unplanned. The ship was still dangerous and having someone track a object like that till it landed would be nigh impossible. Remember how Rasputin wasn’t even active then, there would be no way to track the body. It’s implied that the hidden were constantly looking for it though. Hive gods also cant be revived with mere memories. They have to have a throne world and once killed in that there is no coming back that we know. Id say the biggest issue isn’t even a lore issue but a technical one which is how he landed on Titan. Only thing i could think is he slungshot or Titan was some how close enough to apply some form of gravitational pull on him.
