Uncovering the Origins of Destiny 2's Ultimate Villain
Destiny 2 fans are buzzing about a leaked cutscene that uncovers the mysterious backstory of the game's top enemy, The Witness This reveal addresses long-standing questions and adds even more depth to the already captivating narrative of the game
A recent leak of Destiny 2 has shed light on the enigmatic figure known as The Witness, the game's primary antagonist. Fans have long been curious about the origins of this character, who represents the embodiment of Darkness in the game's universe. In the past, Destiny's narrative has revolved around the eternal struggle between Light and Darkness, with the latter portrayed as a malevolent force seeking to reshape reality. However, until now, this force has remained faceless and without a distinct character. The Witch Queen DLC campaign introduced The Witness as the embodiment of Darkness, and this leaked cutscene appears to provide answers to many of the questions that players have had about this mysterious figure.
The latest leaked cutscene from Destiny 2 reveals major spoilers for Season of the Deep and The Final Shape DLC. The Veil, a mysterious object introduced in Lightfall, was sought after by The Witness and its true purpose is finally explained in this cutscene. It appears that The Witness plans to use The Veil for a specific purpose, and this revelation could potentially reveal more about the current season and future DLCs. Fans should proceed with caution to avoid spoilers. The cutscene sheds light on The Traveler's existence and how it came to the rescue of an ancient civilization that was struggling for survival. This civilization referred to The Traveler as the Gardener, a reference to the Shadowkeep lorebook that mentions the Gardener and the Winnower. The video also confirms that a previous theory about Destiny's overarching story concept is partially true, indicating that fans were on the right track in their attempts to decrypt Bungie's creation.
The civilization sought purpose and meaning, but The Traveler failed to provide them with it. Their search led them to The Veil, which they studied to understand the Darkness, a power shaped by thought and consciousness. However, the Darkness showed them a way to "calcify existence" into a Final Shape, something The Traveler wouldn't allow. When the people brought The Veil to communicate with The Traveler, it chose to flee. Left without its protection, the civilization merged into a single being using the power of the Darkness, giving birth to The Witness. Despite being considered one of the best Destiny 2 cutscenes of all time, leaks of The Witness's endgame possibly spoil the rest of the season. The cutscene provides valuable insight into what the Guardians will have to do to stop them in Destiny 2 The Final Shape DLC.
Destiny 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
