Xol confirmed alive with The Whisper?
During The Whisper, the player is able to hear dialogue from Xol as they near the end of the jumping puzzle. Does this confirm that Xol is not truly dead?
I’ve seen discussion on whether or not we actually killed Xol at the end of the Warmind campaign (e.g. I saw people saying that the worms don’t have throne rooms, meaning that Xol would be dead), but I’m certain that this confirms that he is indeed alive and will need to be killed once and for all in his throne room. Personally, I find this an amazing revelation, as this opens the possibility for us to have a true battle with Xol.

Xol became whisper of the worm. At least that’s what the lore tab implies. I think his story is done

Yep I'm not surprised it's still alive, nor am I surprised to see so many flocking to use the weapon too. Filthy tainted weapon. It's a trap tempting us with power while Xol feeds. It should be destroyed, purged along with the rest of the Hive.

Edited by COOKIE MONSTER: 7/23/2018 10:11:30 PMLore tab from the WotW. Xol, the Will of Thousands, perished but was not destroyed. Death is a road, death is metamorphosis, the unsacred road between destroyer and destroyed. The might which defeats a god is also the ambrosia that god craves, the meat-sweet logic of Existence-Asserted-By-Violence, the binomial decision between two ways of being which deny each other. In dying, Xol fed richly. Now came Xol unto the Taken upon Io, who fed Xol with plunder and tried to make of it an idol and a commanding will. Yet Xol was bound joyously to the very logic that sustained it in its death. It wanted the sword proof, the single proof. It wanted to become a rule which divided the mighty living from the mighty dead. So it whispered the Anthem Anathema, the temptation to dominate the objective universe with the subjective will. It said, I shall be an engine to make your desire hegemon over your conditions. It said, WIELD ME, AND USE ME TO TEST YOUR FOE. This was its worship, Aiat. As with other Hive Gods, however, Xol's death was not his ending. Drawing power from the Sword-Logic upon his defeat at the hands of the Guardian, Xol persisted in some form and traveled to Io, where he communed with the Taken infesting the Jovian moon. When the Guardian proved themselves worthy of being a host to feed upon, he transformed into the Whisper of the Worm to draw power from the Guardian's kills, similar to the Touch of Malice

I think there's a lore piece somewhere that says he perished but is not dead. Also, the book of sorrows basically confirms that the worms can't die.

1 ReplyWait what if he’s one of the raid bosses in the new dlc? If he was taken, his will wouldn’t be forfeited. Essentially he’d have taken abilities but won’t be a mindless puppet

26 RepliesA bunch of people say Worms don't have Throne Realms, but that's just simply impossible. The Worms created them, of course they would have them. I mean, they are defined by their hosts so therefore the host's realm is theirs. Think about Oryx and his Worm. We killed him in the Throne Realm. Oryx is DEAD, as is his Worm. Since we killed Oryx truly, the Worm no longer has its host, it made a pact with Oryx, and it will die. We killed Nokris in the Material World(AKA our world), we killed Xol in the Material World, but we didn't kill them in the Throne Realm. I believe both Nokris and Xol are still alive. They'll come back at some point... This is only the beginning.

Xol is the weapon. We praise the weapon, we praise xol. Death is just the beginning.
-
Definitely alive. We never killed him in his throne world, so he lived.
-
Lore on the Whisper's lore tab infers that Xol turned himself into the weapon, effectively binding Xol to the guardian that killed him forcing the user to forever feed and empower Xol. So Xol is alive as much as a thing that cannot die.
-
3 RepliesI don't know. Ta' Aurc has a Throne World apperantly. I remember putting a nice hefty Gjally rocket to his face. Unless Bungie rewrote that we never killed him.
-
3 RepliesNo. We killed it with a stick. [spoiler]Lol. Yes, I can almost promise you that Xol is alive and kicking.[/spoiler]

I was actually kind of thinking he lives on as the gun after I read the lore tab a few times and noticing that the end of the barrel sorta resembles his mouth
-
Just read the lore tab
-
1 ReplyI hope that means Nokris is coming back too. He was even more underwhelming than Xol and his status as a necromancer could really be a pain (lore wise) down the road.
-
4 RepliesNot to be a dick but [i]no shit[/i]. All powerful hive have a physical form and a throne world form. Think of it like your body and your soul. The hive learned from the worm gods so the worms should have a throne world version of themselves that prevents them from being killed permanently. We will probably travel to the ascendant realm and kill them permanently in a future dlc. We learned about this back in d1.

Read the guns lore tab.

6 RepliesFace it, people. Nokris is an ASCENDANT HIVE. Meaning he has a Throne World. Meaning he could just revive Xol with his necromancer powers or possibly even Savathûn could’ve Taken him. Either way, both Xol and Nokris are still alive.
-
Well yeah. Duh
-
2 RepliesThe new exotic also provides some lore on it. I may have misunderstood it but he might be taken.
-
1 ReplyThe gun's lore tab also implies that he is not truly dead.
-
I think it is a touch of malice-like scenario where his essence lives on in the gun.
-
4 RepliesPerhaps....it's a different Worm
