The last cutscene in the Dreaming City in Destiny 2 presents players with a riddle once again: Is it really just an unfortunate shadow cast, or is it the final farewell of an old friend?
Just a shadow or a secret message? Players are discussing on Reddit whether the last cutscene in the Dreaming City contains a hidden image and what this suggests about the possible new Hunter Vanguard.
Warning: We are discussing the cutscene that was added with the last weekly reset to Destiny 2. If you haven’t seen it yet and don’t want to know anything about it, you should not read on.
What is it about? A Guardian on Reddit pointed out that the latest scene might contain a hidden message. According to him, a silhouette can be seen in the shadows, which could be a final farewell from an old friend or a hint for the Hunter Vanguard.
The player claims to have seen the outline of Cayde-6’s head in the scene where the still dead Uldren Sov is laid out in the Dreaming City. In his opinion, it could be a nice reference to the still open position of the Hunter Vanguard.
Why should this be a hint? After Uldren Sov was revived by his Ghost as a Guardian, many Guardians assume that he will become a Hunter. In the quest to retrieve the Ace of Spades, Cayde’s personal hand cannon, players learn who Cayde envisions as his successor: whoever is responsible for his death should become his successor in the Vanguard.
Players are already wondering whether this means that Uldren will become the new Hunter Leader.
What do the other players see? Some players agree with the claim and can also recognize Cayde’s head in the shadow. Thus, the “table” on which Uldren lies could represent the shape of his head, while the elongated elevation could be his horn.
Other players believe that it is just a very strange angle that Bungie came up with for the shadow cast. Others see the elongated elevation as merely the shadow of Uldren’s feet, while some Guardians joke that Uldren’s rigor mortis is causing the strange shadow cast.
What do you say? Do you just see a normal shadow or do you see Cayde’s head? Or do you see something completely different?
