I started by searching VoG secrets on YouTube and watched every video on the first page and summarized to what I think the community stands at as a whole, is there more to the raid than precious loot? [b][i]Here is my theory.[/i][/b] [u][i]Grimoire[/i][/u] [b]WARLOCK[/b] "We have found new ways to weaponize curiosity. Pathways into the darkness." Warrior-scholars of the Light, Warlocks devote themselves to understanding the Traveler and its power. A Warlock's mind is an arsenal of deadly secrets, balanced between godhood and madness. On the battlefield, those secrets can shatter reality itself. [b]THE EXO STRANGER[/b] Stories of an Exo who walks in the Darkness without a Ghost have long haunted the Tower. Legends say this anomaly dissolves in and out of the world, intangible and elusive, as if she is a visitor from somewhere beyond. Some believe she's the last of an ancient Exo squadron, fighting a long-forgotten war. Others dismiss her as a hallucination caused by exposure to Vex technology. But there are those who maintain that her intervention saved their lives - or averted unspeakable catastrophes. [b]ZYDRON, GATE LORD[/b] The intelligence we call Zydron seems to exist in a liminal state, stretched between gates in the Vex network. It manifests as a physical being only when called. Warlock scholars believe that Gate Lords regulate traffic between Vex gates, and that their minds contain codes that might open the way into forbidden realms. An enormous amount of hope and anger has been spent on a particular debate - could we find a Vex gate that opens onto a place and time before the Collapse, and somehow forestall it? [b]ATHEON, TIME'S CONFLUX[/b] To speak of Atheon is to accept certain limitations. We are ill-equipped to understand an entity that defies simple causality. Let us accept these limitations and proceed. Atheon waits in the Vault of Glass. Just as Atheon sidesteps 'past' and 'future', it is impossible to say whether Atheon created the Vault or the Vault created Atheon. Causal pathways converge on Atheon from every axis in the space-time bulk. Atheon has a function. We hazard that it regulates and oversees the Vex conflux system. What are these confluxes? How do they relate to the physical Vex network that has devoured so much of Mercury and Venus? We might guess that the Vex confluxes represent the extension of this network across space and time. Perhaps the Vex use closed timelike curves to solve unfathomable computations. Or the Vex may seek to transcend a physical substrate, and move their thoughts directly into the fundament of the universe. If physics is a set of rules that the cosmos uses to calculate itself, perhaps the Vex seek to worm their way into these calculations: to become a law of reality, inseparable from existence. A virus in the system. Perhaps Atheon was the centerpiece of this project, a command nexus that unified efforts across time. But we must accept that all of this is speculation. [b]THE VEX[/b] "Living metal. Incomprehensible intelligence." The Vex are architects of ancient and complex structures thought to be buried within every celestial body. Linked by a network unlike any on Earth, they operate in unison, directed by a single unfathomable purpose. [b]VENUS[/b] Venus has been reclaimed by the jungle. Dragonflies flit through ruined academies and abandoned dig sites. Volcanoes smolder. Here and there a line of light marks where ancient Vex spires, thought long-dead, have once more been energized. [b]VAULT OF GLASS[/b] His name was Kabr. He wasn't my friend but I knew and respected him as a Guardian and a good man. He fought the Vex alone. This destroyed him. In the time before he vanished he said things that I think should be remembered. These are some of them: "In the Vault time frays and a needle moves through it. The needle is the will of Atheon. I do not know the name of the shape that comes after the needle. No one can open the Vault alone. I opened the Vault. There was no one with me but I was not alone. You will meet the Templar in a place that is a time before or after stars. The stars will move around you and mark you and sing to you. They will decide if you are real. I drank of them. It tasted like the sea." That is all I can remember. Pahanin [b]RELIC: THE AEGIS[/b] These are the last words of Kabr, the Legionless: I have destroyed myself to do this. They have taken my Ghost. They are in my blood and brain. But now there is hope. I have made a wound in the Vault. I have pierced it and let in the Light. Bathe in it, and be cleansed. Look to it, and understand: From my own Light and from the thinking flesh of the Vex I made a shield. The shield is your deliverance. It will break the unbreakable. It will change your fate. Bind yourself to the shield. Bind yourself to me. And if you abandon your purpose, let the Vault consume you, as it consumed me. Now it is done. If I speak again, I am not Kabr. ----------- Oh, [i]you're[/i] still here? Good. There are some videos for you to watch to understand what part will come next and how my idea will make a bit more sense. [b]Destiny: VoG Gatelord Dead Ghost?[/b] [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TjNO4mi1OE[/url] [b]Destiny VoG Chest found? New Theory![/b] [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKpaauBey8g[/url] Here's my idea, and all are welcome to try it because I know someone out there is interested. -VoG Hard Mode (level 30) -6 Warlocks with Radiance/Fireborn One Warlock will [b]go to Zydron's Vex Sync Plate[/b] and wait for the other five to kill Atheon, yes this does mean you have to start from the [u]beginning of the raid.[/u] After all the struggling of your well forged fireteam you all must remain alive and not die otherwise the warlock who is alone will respawn with all of you, so this does mean [b][u]GET THROUGH THE GORGON MAZE WITHOUT BEING SPOTTED.[/u][/b] Once Atheon has had his tomb danced on by some savage Warlocks, this is where we find out if it works or not. Everyone who is in the VoG must occupy any open vex plates while the Warlock who is by Zydron's Vex Plate stands upon it. [b][u][i]I SUGGEST THE SOLO WARLOCK BY ZYDRON STAYS DEAD WITH RADIANCE TO PREVENT BEING TELEPORTED BY ATHEON.[/i][/u][/b] Then... Wait. And see if anything happens, if not, have one of the five inside the VoG enter through one of the portals, and he/she will probably get marked and die. That leaves four and one of the portals hasn't been trialed. I'm hoping that the Zydron portal will form and the solo warlock will be able to enter it. ------ Well that's it, cheers!
