Beneath the bloodstained sand old

I get the feeling the Witness isn't NEARLY as powerful as we think.

The Witness is a small grey alien that uses Resonance to appear godly. Look what happened to Rhulk when Resonance and the Pyramid tech got used against him. I get the feeling it's as Savathun says: he's just a bro who found an ancient source of darkness and created technology from it that he used to transform himself, like a mix of The High Evolutionary and Tony Stark. I just can't picture the Witness flying out from its massive Pyramid and waving its hands around causing planetary destruction and that's because the Witness is just a mastermind and manipulator, hiding behind intimidation tactics and big imposing Pyramids to hide how small it actually is. As soon as it's Pyramid is infiltrated and the Resonance technology is turned against it, it's after images, echoing voices, and shroud will turn off like a light bulb for DPS time. Everything the Witness has done has been espionage, manipulation, and fear mongering tactics. Appearing as us in the Black Garden. Abducting us into it's Pyramids. Talking through our Ghost. Lying to Savathun. Lying to Rhulk. And giving us power to sway us. If the Witness was truly super powerful, it wouldn't have needed to lie to the Krill and create the Hive, corrupt Rhulk, lure Guardians with Stasis, recruit the Scorn, Cabal, Psions, Calus and others. It's saying the Travelers pale heart holds the key and sends Calus to Neomuna for something. If the Witness was nearly as powerful as we think, it could've ended us back in Season of Arrivals and wouldn't have to prepare so much. It wouldn't need a pale heart and it wouldn't have to recruit Calus, Eramis, Rhulk and so many other Disciples. I expected the being behind the Collapse to be scary and waste no time doing something apocalyptic but so far, the Witness ain't about it. Fingers crossed for The Final Shape and I'm hoping it has a second form or something that's actually intimidating.

    The witness will be a strike boss. Not a dungeon boss or a raid boss. A strike boss. We’ll stroll up casually on the regular basis and OTK it. Also confirmed that the collapse happened as a result of the Witness commanding Savathun to conquer the Sol system. Reasons why it never went through was because at least for one, savathun didn’t commit enough forces and intentionally spared enough humans that they’d survive. secondly she was rolling up with the witness when the Traveler fought back so… Initial hive invasion of Sol followed by pyramid ships and the witness and a couple disciples. Humanity fell quickly and without any time to respond to the Hive hordes that spilled into Sol. Whatever wasn’t killed by hive was killed by the energy battles between light and dark
