NEW VoG EASTER EGG THEORY

Ok, so recently I have been reading up on people's attempts to uncover Easter eggs or hidden chests etc. in the Vault of Glass so I decide to do a bit myself, here is what I found: I began to research Gorgon's (Greek mythology) and what came up was very interesting. On various pages I found they stated, "The oldest oracles were said to be protected by serpents and a Gorgon image was often associated with those temples." So what does this mean? Are the Gorgons in the maze protecting something we don't know about? In Ancient Greek times many people put up images depicting Gorgons around doorways in there homes in order to protect what lay inside them. Does this mean there is yet more to uncover? I appreciate any feedback or anything you want to say about what I have found. Bump to more people see and we can rekindle the search! Side note: I would also like to see a petition come out for Bungie to release a clue of some sort or even say that we have found everything so people stop wasting their time or so we get put on the right track for discovery! Thanks! Edit #1: it also seems odd that they are named "Gorgons" rather than any other creature as as I have stated above Gorgons are used to protect certain things, other than the route to atheon, so why did Bungie use Gorgons rather than anything else? Edit #2: Everyone seems to have missed the part where in the gorgon myths they are sometimes said to have had serpents guarding oracles which are sometimes associated with Gorgons. Thoughts? Also please don't come around with all your hate as it is unneeded and will be ignored. Edit #3: Please only comment if you wish to add anything to what I have said, everything is getting a bit repetitive with the whole "title" and "done before" comments. I only want to discuss what I have found/realised not argue with people who are wasting their time commenting. Edit #4: I have grown sick of the whining in the comments so your wish is my command; i have changed the title. Rejoice! Edit #5: Slightly unrelated note but the word Qabr (like Kabr) means 'grave' in Arabic. Not sure if this means anything? Opinions? Edit #6: After reading a post from a while ago the definition of a 'supplicant' was brought up; " a person who asks for something in a respectful way from a powerful person or God". Possibly not killing or allowing any supplicants to blow up could trigger something? Thus allowing them not to sacrifice or 'ask' anything from Atheon? Just found this very interesting.

    "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." Is the vault of glass spire the only 1 we know about, maybe theres more on venus, a different entrance to the vault of glass perhaps

    "No one can open the Vault alone. I opened the Vault. There was no one with me but I was not alone." I think I have figured this riddle out. Kabr "opened" the vault of glass, I think we are just"entering" the vault of glass. Once you beat atheon you are not forced to orbit which makes me think there is still a secret in his room. I think it has something to do with the time portals. Kabr most likely entered a time portal by himself while his other guardians held it open, once he went back or forth in time he was alone but he was not alone because his team was still somewhere else in time. Hence "There was no one with me but I was not alone." I think within the vault of glass room you can open it.

      The gorgons are protecting oracles. At Atheon. They're also protecting doors: to the Vault, to the gorgon chest, not sure what else. There have been rumors of some other door by the lit pillars that one team found opened once, but I'm not sure I credit that story. As for their name I think it's obvious for its logic: gorgons killed by looking at you (and you had to look at them). I went into the gorgon maze solo once and noticed that I could stand right beside one without setting it off as long as I was crouched and not looking back at it. Seems pretty gorgon-y. And I think letting supplicants blow up is a normal strategy. I've had a hunter teammate sprint around letting them blow up. He got at least 9-10 that way. Didn't do anything that we were able to identify. The only idea I can offer wrt them is to not kill any as you kill Atheon. Maybe you have to have 20+ spawn without killing, but I doubt it.

    • I think destiny team just went with gorgons because they went off Minotaurs. Which where man beasts meant to guard mazes, Which would have made more sense. Are harpies Greek? I also seen a few reddit posts about harpies also being related to Norse somehow, I though that guy was on crack but I don't know.

      • I just had another thought. Why did bungie put so much effort into stopping people from cheesing Atheon? Is it because if you beat him there is something valuable to be gained? Especially if you need to beat him without any supplicants being destroyed or something like that? Cheesing him would have made that all too easy. Just a thought.

Just found this very interesting.[/quote] I think that's worth trying but it's worth mentioning that sometimes they kamikaze on you so it's best to avoid them overall. My advice would be to enter the portal from Mars/Venus from the back since the Supplicants like to camp right infront of it. That way, you spawn behind the portal(facing Atheon) but away from the Supplicants. They could also be behind the portal so the outside team has to advise which side to go through.

          • Gorgons, Medusa, and Perseus. Greek myth involving going invisible and using a blade to kill Medusa and defeat the Gorgons. Might be something to consider, but do we really think Bungie would put that much thought into this game? Hurts to say that, had such high hopes for the story before the game came out.

            • I think the gorgons are protecting the entrance you have to take to get to Atheon.

                  "You will meet the Templar in a place that is a time before or after stars." Does this give any1 the feeling you can use the portals from atheons room and go fight the templar before or after.(future or past) It wouldn make sense fighting him in the future tho because he is already dead

                    • I think they need to make a mini Atheon statue somewhere and have us interact with it. And when we do we get a containment shield and watch him dance.

                    • They're guarding the "hidden" chest that contains only ascendent materials. The only other chest I could imagine would be in the floating steps part with the broken vex gate to your far left.

                      • just been on about the hidden passageway under the first chest. I think there's something to it.......as if you glitch into the VOG on Patrol......they've closed the passageway off so you cant go exploring

                      • I just had a thought. After you beat Atheon does the relic holder still have the relic? If the relic holder is the fireteam leader and the rest of the fireteam go to orbit and leave him there himself will anything happen? Anyone tried this?

                          • I agree with what you researched thewy do guard something, the entrance into the vault of glass. they are protecting atheons home/doorway. So bungie used gorgons because they are doing exactly what you have described. But what I want to talk about is something I did not believe when I was told it as the dude has not always been the most forthright with us (fireteam). But he says his brother ( who I have played with and is an excellent destiny player) did the following; - completed flawless raider up to the jumping puzzle - while also not losing a sync plate in the beginning - not letting Templar teleport - not getting gazed by the gorgons And he says that when they got to the doorway of the VoG (atheons room) that the old decrepit vex gate out in the middle of nowhere was open. they went inside as a team and there was some ungodly amount of praetorians in there with a chest they tried to make it to the chest but all died and since they messed up the flawless raider when the reloaded the vex gate was then closed. Again I don't not necessarily believe him as he could be blowing smoke up my warlock robes, but it did resonate as a plausible chance to find a secret if one exists Do you buy this? does anyone want to try this? I sure as hell do. Hit me up or add me on Xbox One Patrlck86
