I think we will definitely see the stranger. Look at her last lines "Ah, yes. The Awoken. Out there, wavering between the light and the dark. A side should always be taken, little light. Even if it's the wrong side." "Too late, returning. How many?" "Hold position, kill the engines, and don't let them find you." Is this reference to Oryx returning? I know it was pre TDB but she can travel through time can't she. We know there will be the big cgi space battle in TTK and the leaked weapon called 'no time to explain' so just thought it would kind of fit. Just a thought.

You would have to suffer from Down syndrome to pay $40 for the same shit over and over again. And that $40 will be the new price for the Dlc's, watch. And the sad thing is people will buy it. When taken king release, there will be so many games out for both the ps4 and Xbox. Bungie should give up on destiny, because their greed along with activision's greed doomed this game. [spoiler]and yes for all you politically correct, sensitive -blam!-s, I used the name Down syndrome in an insulting manner.[/spoiler]

I am honored i made it as a side note on your otherwise interesting and well worded post.

Why do people go this deep in thought about how the story will go in the dlc? Bungie has yet to release anything half this in depth. It's gonna be another series of story missions where you go somewhere, have your ghost scan something while you kill the same enemies as before and then it'll abruptly end leaving you wondering where the story goes now..

New map Waves Same grind More weapons Nothing really new $40

The Taken King will always be Liam Neeson.

I'm kind of hoping that the Taken are Guardians that were corrupted by the Darkness. Because if that's the case then we might get to meet Toland.

What if the taken are the flood.. Again.. Just a big NOPE for me still have nightmares from the first encounter :/

What if the Taken aren't the zombified enemies? What if we face zombified enemies PLUS the Taken?

I like that commercial for belle bunny..

Your story presented more lore than this entire game has in just your speculation. It will be a dlc with no connecting story and vaguely connect what we have already done to the story line just like HOW. This whole HOW thing is a side quest. It's off track of the traveler, the darkness and basically filler content because they can't make their own deadlines.

Given the rest of the ' new' content, I fear you're gonna be dissapointed

This is a theory one of my group-mates had: [spoiler][quote]Hello and welcome guardians, this is your friendly... I feel weird saying that, I've been pretty cynical lately...neighborhood AnonPig! I'll be taking a small leave of absence, but before I go i want to leave you with just one last post. As we've been seeing "The Taken King" a lot lately and what just came crashing into my brain. There's much to wonder about the Hive, and in this case more specifically their hierarchy of structure. If I were to say they were based off of a Greek mythos, no one would question it, it's clear they have a pantheon of gods that they worship entirely. But if I were to say Oryx wasn't a king... and more specifically that Oryx wasn't a he... you'd probably want to fight me. A card I over looked was brought to my attention, queen 2 referred to Oryx as "end him." This however doesn't change the ultimate purpose of this theory only tweaks it. Time constraints on my phone allow me only this, Oryx is most likely without gender, much like the black heart, but acts in a similar fashion to the wizards. We've fought Crota, spawn of Oryx, and have heard that three eyed beauty say that now Oryx would come. We've seen what is clearly Hive leaked dlc content known as "The Taken King". But that doesn't mean the two speak of the same being. The first thing i wish to bring to your attention is the rusted lands grimoire.[quote]as a Hive Wizard and her Knights rose to challenge the Guardians.[/quote] Notice that it says a wizard and her knights? This means one of two things, and most likely both, that she created them, and that she leads them. If this is how the structure truly works, wizards being the lead, why would Oryx be a knight? (The common assumption) Now, let's talk the thralls and the bees, if you have any questions please save them for the end. There are three Hive sects that we fight: Hidden Swarm, Spawn of Crota, and Blood of Oryx. Now I want to stress Blood of Oryx here, on the moon we see these pod things that could easily be where Hive come from, but where do those come from? I believe it's a wizard's magic and and a Hive's blood that do it.[quote]Charged with Hive sorcery, Ogres are abominations of flesh and rage, unleashed from the deepest Hive tunnels as engines of destruction. Apocryphal lore suggests that Ogres undergo terrible transformations as they grow - agonizing rituals that gift them with might and cunning.[/quote] Oryx, using a larger concentration own blood created Crota, using less created Blood of Oryx Hive. Crota used his blood to do the same with the aid of a wizard to create the Spawn of Crota, and that leaves the Hidden Swarm. I think these are a combination of the efforts of Xol, Eir, Ur and Yul. So now that we have established the likelihood of Oryx being a wizard, and therefore female, and just how the procreate, the question becomes who's this Taken King? Well, we just fought my new favorite boss a couple weeks ago, Urrox Flame Prince, Scion of Oryx. His entire title is what is important here. Let's dissect it. Flame Prince is the simple part, clearly for their to be a Prince there must be a King. But scion is what caught my eye. Scion means descendant, but if he was directly spawned from Oryx why not just say so? I think Urrox is the Spawn of a spawn of Oryx, and therefore a scion of her. This led me to believe he's the the son of the King that will be taken, most likely taken by our new best friend Mara Sov. This brings us to my last point. Osiris. Osiris knew quite a bit about the Hive and maybe even more about Oryx than Toland and Eris. [quote]Oryx, dead, king, Oryx, dead, king, Oryx, dead king. Three words, three bursts, nine words...Osiris??[/quote] can be heard by Master Rahool, so what do these have to do with anything? These four things? Oryx, dead, king, and Osiris, because they are all separate. I believe Osiris has found a way into the Vex networks. [quote]I don’t know where you have gone, but I can no longer send Ghosts out to find you. Some come back— with tales of your death or how you went seeking answers from the far reaches of space and time. That you found a way to explore the Vex gate networks.[/quote] And while exploring saw a dark future. Oryx dead king is a prophecy from Osiris. We've killed one spawn of Oryx, Crota, and in the next dlc we're taking another. Oryx won't be happy with us, and she'll launch a direct attack on us because of it. I believe Osiris, just like Toland did before the Great Disaster, was trying to warn us, but we didn't listen. . Thankyou for reading! This is your friendly neighborhood AnonPig!

And then at some point he got lonely and screwed a Knight, who birthed the baby Crota. I'm a sucker for a good love story

Osiris IS Oryx?!?!?! Mind Blown!!! Interesting theory, but given destiny's lack of story and past of dlc's I don't see it happening. I would love to play your version though.

Osiris is not oryx now u may be on to something. What I think is that Osiris is obsessed with the vex so he when he was looking into or studying a vex portal he stumbled upon Orxys nether realm ( a nether realm is a place like where Crota is), also in the grimoire it says that vex portals may have a connection with nether realms. Once Osiris saw oryx he returned to the tower to tell the speaker. When he told the speaker what he had seen the speaker told him he was corrupted by the darkness and driven mad. The speaker being his normal pansy self had Osiris exiled. So that lead to Osiris hating the speaker which explains why most of the captions on Osiris class bonds, marks, and cloaks have hate about the speaker, and some armor pieces to.. P.S. Those triangular ships belong to the nine.

Osiris orderes us to destroy the Shrines of Orynx. Bet he wishes he didn't.

bump. love fan theories

I don't listen to that garbage podcast because it feels like it's very poor quality. IGN's fire team chat honestly holds the title of worst podcast ever tbh. Destin and his dick sucking buddies have absolutely no clue what they are talking about. The only guy who WAS worth listening to and was actually good and knowledgable about the game was Alfredo. The PD Podcast is honestly the most informative destiny podcast there is. Every single person on that podcast knows what it is they are talking about. I digress, but I had to say it. Your theory about The Taken King is actually pretty strong. Cheers for sharing it. P.S. I remember you kicked my ass in a clash game before. Good Game.
