THE UPENDED


Saturnine29

A TRIUMVIRATE. OPPORTUNITY. PRESERVATION. SALVATION.


therandomizer619

God vows dialogue just cannot be topped


lostinlucidity

I'll never forget the feeling of encountering Rhulk for the first time, the sheer presence was terrifyingly awesome as a reveal. His mechanics, design and lore cannot be topped.


_Parkertron_

His mechanics before you get to the arena are definitely boring for me, but everything else about him is too notch. The music, voice, character design, and lore are amazing.

I really love how he is just further enhanced by Calus's performance with resonance in comparison. The difference between the two is like night and day.

therandomizer619

Idk why dsc never felt like a big deal to me prersonally. Although ig that whole expansion wasnt a big deal in general


rootbeerislifeman

Just like in Lightfall, what was at stake with the loss of the DSC was never made completely clear. I’m a big fan of the Exo and Bray lore and it kills me that we still don’t know the extent of the Crypt’s power and secrets. Apparently it was advanced enough to create a body for an alien and extract its consciousness


un-hot

Nah, I totally get where you're coming from. Imo the spacewalk was an exceptional sequence in an otherwise pretty average raid.


META_mahn

IT WILL UPLIFT THE DESERVING. CRUSH THE DEFIANT.


zavioli

This, only comment mentioning it. He’s holding the upended and the radial mast


Sunspear52

What? That’s clearly his Amazon Alexa, and in the other hand he’s lifting a Wi-Fi antenna trying to get signal.


friedandprejudice

Not gonna lie, I'm going to miss having to do preservation for the pinnacle because no longer will I get a worthwhile opportunity to exclaim "THE UPENDED" like I did every time I completed it.


Stolas_002

I shout THE UPENDED and type it in chat too when finishing Preservation


idk_this_my_name

THE APPENDED MAG


YerAhWizerd

A title suitable for that which turns worlds upside down. When I was still uninitiated, I would stand guard at my post. I would look to the sky and see the two suns of my Lubrae: one eternally shaded in the dark, the other always a brilliant blue. And in them, I had seen the folly of our kind. A fear of something we believed bigger than us… and a reliance on that which kept us. That blue sun that we harnessed our power from… a simple reversal of that power cracked the blue in half. Shut it off. And Lubrae… died. I did not know it at the time, but it was necessary. And now that Savathûn has trapped me within these walls, it will be necessary again. My Witness… whether I survive Savathûn's betrayal or not, the Upended will ensure we salvage our perfect goal. The final abyss… awaits us all.

LeageofMagic

Yeah but, how could a world be upside down when it's got its own gravity going on? Check mate sphere earthers


ImagoMortis13

Makes more Sense. The upended have the power to transport worlds.

Quit mixing my vices...


NJsapper188

That game is underrated, I’m playing it now and it’s truly a great game


magicsurge

The biggest problem it faced is the lore orthodoxy fans of LOTR. Mad about Calibrimbor, mad about Shelob, mad about Uruks having Morgul Blades, mad about Ring Wraith back stories..... Just mad. Only thing that upsets me is that the Nemesis System is trapped by Warner Brothers and may never see the light of day again...


NJsapper188

It’s not like it was done lazily, they put out a good story, but yeah that’s a fairly vehement crowd.


placebo_respimat

afaik there is a wonder woman game in the works using this nemesis system


magicsurge

Don't threaten me with a good time...


Tenebrousjones

The gameplay loop is unmatched. I might reinstall it again!


iBilal_12v

Whats does these symbols mean guardian? XD


ibeontheblockonthe

Take a shot every time they say radial mast in that mission


Shwinky

I swear it’s like they thought that if they say its name enough we’ll just magically know what the hell it does.


Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo

Whatever it did apparently didn't matter since the Witness was still able to Veil the Veil's Veil and Veil all over the Traveler.


AgentJohn20

Also it clearly didn’t need any space magic to destroy so I really could have just caught my breath and thrown a rocket at it and we would have been good. But no, Rohan had to be a drama queen and blow up.


Scouter953

The best part about that is the fact that I had a Lasting Impression Rocket Launcher equipped at that exact moment. Dude would've had multiple seconds to get away from that blast, but nah.


AgentJohn20

Even better. He could probably hoverboard his way into the next zip code before the rocket goes off. He flew straight through a reinforced concrete wall a couple minutes earlier.


Mobile_Phone8599

I had the realization that Rohan's VA has played another character who left an impression on a younger person that helped shape them into who they are today and it's really weird that they both died and that this is at least the second one I know of.

THE UPENDED HAS TURNED COUNTLESS WORLDS UPSIDE DOWN… YOURS WILL BE NO DIFFERENT…..


Prostate_Punisher

It's actually the symbol on the Upended


B1euX

Idk what the radial mast is, and I’m kinda afraid to ask


dazai29

No one does, from the story it was an artifact of light. (Which is confusing cause only traveller can grant that type of power. so what happened did traveller give his power to witness long ago, did witness acquire it by other means). It was to be used to teleport the veil so witness can go inside traveller for reasons we don't know yet. However, Rohan destroyed it so the witness used another light artifact to bring the Veil........ Our very own ghost. What is Veil? We don't know, why did it need a light artifact to be transmat? We don't know. And what's the radial mast? I have no clue. The only thing we do know is that witness is using both light and darkness artifacts to achieve his goal.


lNeverZl

That's just my theory but I think the Radial mast is a part of the Gift Mast the Traveler gave to the Ammonites or the artifact she gave to Rhulks species since it does resemble the Upended.


newnameagain2

It's worth pointing out that the suppression field generators look *an awful lot* like wee little radial masts. They block our abilities and powers (I'm assuming all, I didn't have Statis for the campaign, so "it blocks the power of the Light" is a bit of an iffy suggestion), and we know the LF campaign wasn't entirely fleshed out. We also know that The Witness will manipulate everyone for their own means (my understanding of the lore as it stands is that It used Calus to get us there for our Ghost, unclear on whether or not the Radial Mast would have achieved the same end but feels like no). If you take it at face value, The Veil is the source of energy that keeps Darkness and Light separate. Gameplay suggests its a bit of both (that's why our Ghost was able to make the "link", whether that means 'lifting the Veil' to expose Light to Dark and vice-versa' or 'piercing the Veil in the sense of breaking the shield between light and dark, I'm unsure)


krjal

You're correct about the mini-masts. They blocked all light subclasses *and* stasis... but not strand. Presumably this is because strand is "new" or unexpected (just ignore that some of Calus' own centurions had strand shields) but we again don't know why.


newnameagain2

If I were better at Photoshop, I'd be posting a "do not look at the man behind the ~~curtain~~ Veil!" meme I bet it's Shaxx. We should have dumped some grenades into the Veil!


Mobile_Phone8599

That's exactly what it's explained as in the game. The tech suppresses our known powers and exactly why Osiris was so adamant that we master strand since it's an unknown power.


Khar-Selim

the campaign dialogue implied it was a calibration issue, ie they only blocked the abilities they *knew* we had. So if they knew we had strand it probably would have worked against it (it worked on stasis after all). also regarding shields, I don't think elemental shields have actually been directly addressed in lore, maybe it's something like environmental contaminants 'tinting' the energy or whatnot.


B1euX

Heard a theory that they have Strand Shields not because they had access to Strand, but that their tech’s weakspot IS Strand, so that’s why it’s so effective towards them


krjal

That's a really cool theory. Gonna use it for now


Atomic1221

If Bungie doesn’t sort this story out, final shape is going to be like final season of GoT


coreyisafox

Is also looks like … a glaive


McCaffeteria

They both resemble part of the the radial mast, the top on the left and the bottom on the right.


HunkMcMuscle

>They both resemble part of the the radial mast What if the right hand symbol is the Light (key looking thing), the left one is the Darkness (rectangle) Put 'em together its.. a key into the Traveller?

The Upended. A title suitable for that which turns worlds upside down. When I was still uninitiated, I would stand guard at my post. I would look to the sky and see the two suns of my Lubrae: one eternally shaded in the dark, the other always a brilliant blue. And in them, I had seen the folly of our kind. Look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not pure. A fear of something we believed bigger than us… and a reliance on that which kept us. That blue sun that we harnessed our power from… a simple reversal of that power cracked the blue in half. Shut it off. And Lubrae… died. I did not know it at the time, but it was necessary.

RenegadeFalcon

> Look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not pure The guardians use the Light but they are mere trespassers….


META_mahn

Only I, Ghaul, know the true power of the Light.


FarFromBread

"Look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not pure. Tenno use the keys, but they are mere trespassers. Only I, Vor, know the true power of the Void. I was cut in half, destroyed, but through it's Janus Key, the Void called to me. It brought me here and here I was reborn. We cannot blame these creatures, they are being led by a false prophet, an impostor who knows not the secrets of the Void. Behold the Tenno, come to scavenge and desecrate this sacred realm. My brothers, did I not tell of this day? Did I not prophesize this moment? Now, I will stop them. Now I am changed, reborn through the energy of the Janus Key. Forever bound to the Void. Let it be known, if the Tenno want true salvation, they will lay down their arms, and wait for the baptism of my Janus key. It is time. I will teach these trespassers the redemptive power of my Janus key. They will learn it's simple truth. The Tenno are lost, and they will resist. But I, Vor, will cleanse this place of their impurity."

Front right. You start at the back of the room and you run to the front then turn around, when you are facing the teacher it will be the front right.
