Unfortunately, FWC's leader wasn't swayed, and she paid the ultimate price.Įarlier in the season, Minthrax spoke to Osiris' lover and told him the Eliksni tale of "The Saint," a Guardian that killed swaths of Fallen, even children, with no mercy and of the fear that the name brought to his people, we saw a different side to our own people. After speaking with Mithrax throughout the season and learning how Guardians are monsters to them like the Fallen are to the Guardians, the characters reached an understanding in a moment of honesty and vulnerability. Still, Osiris' compassion and desire to do good in the world, as well as Saint's own interaction within the Last City, offered a chance for him to open up his worldview and put him on the path of letting go of his ignorance. Saint-14, the lover of Osiris, initially echoed her suspicion. It's been exciting hearing her back and forth. She thinks that bringing the Fallen into the fold will result in disaster, a calamity purposefully perpetuated by the displaced Fallen. But first, let's go back a little for some background information: For those who are still here and haven't worked their way through the latest season yet, Splicer centers around the Fallen and hacking the Vex network. When humans offered shelter to House Light Fallen within the Last City, Lakshmi-2, the leader of Future War Cult, couldn't let go of prejudices and her own suspicions.

If you've followed literally any of my news coverage about the game this season, you know I've been mad suspicious about Osiris, and the epilogue vindicated my suspicions. On paper, that should be a pretty massive nail in Destiny 2's coffin, but instead, it has been a rebirth that makes me more excited than I have ever been about what's next. But like in my earlier deep dive about Saint's awakening, I can't help but be in awe of where the game is now despite its rough launch and vaulting of half of its content. Still, the epilogue of Splicer truly did the story justice while expertly teasing a tumultuous time ahead with the upcoming Witch Queen expansion.

We've previously talked about the quiet strength of The Crow in this season and the feels-heavy turning point in the current season's narrative concerning a certain Saint-14.

Warning: Massive spoilers lay ahead for the Splicer epilogue, so I recommend not reading past this point if you have not played it yet. It also continued what Season of the Chosen beautifully laid out: a story that transformed the online adventure's weaknesses into strengths and provided Guardians with a tale that has as many twists as it does heartbreaks. The latest season did more than bring new game aspects into the shooter, such as the Expunge and Override events, transmog, and much-needed Stasis tweaks in PvP. Destiny 2's Season of the Splicer has finally reached its end, and not only did it bring chills and tears, but it also brings hope for the franchise's future.
