In the MMO shooter Destiny , fans hope that the Summoning Pits will come in a Year 2 version. There are signs for that. Among other things, the mysterious “Hood of Malok.”
Next to dedicated servers, this is the most common criticism of Destiny: There is too little to do, make the Year 1 activities worthwhile for Year 2 as well. Bring them back!
Many are hoping for a return of the raids. That seems unlikely. But at least more strikes from the first year could be carried over to Year 2.
At the moment, only the “newer” ones are allowed, the two from the DLCs and the strikes specifically created or revised for Year 2. The other 3-player instances from Year 1 simply don’t bring anything anymore. The selection is a bit thin and could still be padded.
And indeed, the signs are increasing that something is happening in the “Summoning Pits.” One of the new ghosts, which came in the December patch, is located there:
This is not the only ghost that was new in December; you can find the other three here:
Destiny: Have you found the 4 new ghosts? Here’s how to get them
Raider is now called Twix and the Helm of Krolok is now the Hood of Malok
Another indication seen by supporters of the “Bring Phogoth Back” theory is in the strike-exclusive armor pieces. All have been found except for the “Helm of Krolok.” The hunter-exclusive helmet has been suspected with Omnigul for some time – but it was never found there. With the December patch, the “Helm of Krolok” was renamed to “Hood of Malok.”
Some believe this is now a sign that the helmet, which somehow looks like a Hive, is intended as an exclusive drop for the Phogoth strike when the Summoning Pits come in a new “Year 2” form.

Phogoth – desperately searched for
Mein MMO thinks: Bungie has not yet commented on all the speculations. However, these theories do not seem too unlikely to us. It may well be that polishing up old content brings new life to Destiny in Year 2. New shooter content is likely to be sparse in 2016, even if some has been announced, – at least until the autumn.
However, there is nothing that definitively suggests that Phogoth will really return. As so often in Destiny, the wish could be father to the thought.
Granted, Phogoth could take some steam off the kettle. Many currently want something new to do. But even a current Phogoth strike would probably not last long. It’s surprising how many long to face the ugliest boss in Destiny once more.
