These 5 questions have the players asking
After many Guardians watched the leaked video, they have come up with their own exciting theories about what the resurrection of Uldren Sov as a Guardian could mean for the story of Destiny 2.
1. When does the video take place?
This question is of great interest to the Guardians. Knowing at what time the video takes place could help us determine when we can expect the story twist in the game.
As it appears, Uldren Sov is laid to rest in the Dreaming City. Everything around him is calm, the curse seems to have lifted. It would also be a pretty foolish idea to lay someone to rest on a battlefield.
Players assume that the leaked cutscene has less to do with the story of the first premium DLC The Black Armory, but is rather separate from it. Perhaps the video takes place at a time when the curse of the city has already been broken.
The curse could, according to a theory, be broken in February. This would seemingly end the Forsaken story and open a new chapter in the story of Destiny with Uldren.
2. What can the Prince still remember?
The most intriguing question might be whether Uldren can still remember his past deeds after his resurrection by the ghost. After all, he not only has Cayde-6 on his conscience, but he also freed Riven and triggered the curse of the Dreaming City.
If Bungie adheres to the previous lore, the new Guardian – just like we at the beginning of Destiny 1 – will not be able to remember his past life.
Players can decide for themselves how much sympathy they want to have for Uldren: He most likely can remember nothing, not even his sister Mara. All other Guardians in the Tower, where Uldren will most likely appear at some point, know what he has done.
3. Will Uldren be the new Hunter leader?
This theory has persisted ever since it became known that Cayde-6 bites the dust in Forsaken. And it wasn’t even clear then that Uldren would be resurrected as a Guardian.
This daydream that Uldren will become the new Hunter chief gains new fire with the resurrection. In the Marasenna lore is also described that Uldren acted as a scout and hunter in the early days of the Awoken.
Moreover, Guardians are already aware from the quest about the Ace of Space of the challenge Cayde-6 posed to his murderer: Whoever kills Cayde should become the new Hunter leader of the Vanguard.
4. Is the ghost in the video Pulled Pork?
Even more than Uldren’s resurrection, players seem interested in who performs the resurrection. Guardians assume that the ghost is Pulled Pork, in German “Mettigel”.
He was identified by his distinctive ghost shell, which is described in the lore.
The story of Pulled Pork is told in Destiny lore in the article of the same name in the ghost stories. The ghost got his name from Nkechi-32 and Agu, either two Guardians or a Guardian and his ghost, who repeatedly encountered Pulled Pork.
Pulled Pork has reportedly been searching for his Guardian for a very long time, according to the lore even long before the battle at Twilight Gap.
In the lore, the ghost is described as sweet, kind, and serious or sincere.
Pulled Pork carefully travels across the universe, turning over every stone to find his Guardian. Nkechi-32 and Agu joke in the story that Pulled Pork might find the best Guardian of all time.
Players find this pairing of a sweet and kind ghost and the seemingly bad-tempered and sarcastic Uldren particularly interesting.
5. Did Mara orchestrate the whole story?
Since Forsaken, Guardians have been suspicious of the Awoken Queen, Mara Sov. After all, we have known since the expansion that Mara intended to take control of the Taken with the help of Eris Morn when Oryx meets his end.
The Marasenna lore book does not cast a particularly good light on the queen either.
Some players in the Destiny subreddit have the theory that Mara foresaw what would happen to her brother and made arrangements accordingly. And once again, the ghost Pulled Pork stands at the center of this thought.
In the Pulled Pork lore, the two Guardians notice that the ghost has a new shell. Riff-violet with a flower-like silhouette and silver details. When asked about it, the ghost says that the shell was a gift.
Players speculate that Mara gifted the ghost the shell and manipulated him to resurrect her brother centuries later. Thus, he could function as a mole in the Tower.
Do you also have theories about Uldren’s resurrection? Which of the theories seems the most fitting to you?
