In Destiny 2 , a player has noticed a detail: Bungie seems to use the exotic fusion rifle Telesto to hint at the future of the game. The lore text and the ornaments contain allusions to things that happened months later in the game. A new clue has now been discovered.
This was already known about secrets: When the exotic fusion rifle Telesto came to Destiny 2 with the Osiris DLC in December 2017, it had a quirky lore text. This is not unusual, many lore texts of exotic items in Destiny are a bit offbeat. But the lore text of Telesto concealed a secret.
Contingency reserves overdrawn. We underestimated nobility troth reparations. Uldren suggests that we open reintegration talks. Have you discussed endowment support? If Reef endorses support, Paladin Oran will engineer reinforcement.
When one took the first letter of each word, the actual message of the text was discovered: The hidden message revolved around Crow, the Prince Uldren Sov: He is not trustworthy and desires power.
Uldren Sov had been missing from Destiny for years by the time Telesto arrived. However, he returned with “Forsaken” in the next major DLC with power and played an important role in the story of Destiny 2.
Afterward, it was known: Bungie had used Telesto to hint at future events in Destiny 2.
Telesto’s ornaments hinted at the last 2 expansions
A Guardian has noticed this: A Guardian has noticed on reddit that the ornaments of Telesto have also hinted at future events in Destiny 2.
The first ornament came with Curse of Osiris. It was named “Reef in Ruins”. The Guardian believes that this was a hint at the trouble that was coming to the Awoken, hence the Forsaken expansion.
The second ornament for Telesto appeared with the Warmind DLC. The ornament was named “Dread from Below”.
The Guardian takes this as a hint at the 2nd expansion “Shadowkeep”, as it took players back to the Moon, similar to the expansion “The Dark Below,” which was released for Destiny 1.
Is the Queen coming back soon?
What does Telesto say about the future? The Guardian says the 3rd ornament is supposed to appear in Season 9. It is named “Long live the Queen”. He interprets this as a hint that Queen Mara Sov will play a larger role soon. Because she has also been missing for a long time.
He suspects that Mara Sov could return to the Dreaming City in Season 11 of Destiny 2.
This would certainly be a good conclusion for Destiny 2, assuming that after that Destiny 3 launches for the PS5.
This is how it is discussed: On reddit, many Guardians find these findings fascinating. However, there are also jabs that the lore is hidden in paid ornaments that Destiny 2 sells through the cash shop Eververse.
- A user says: “The queen that was prophesied is not the queen of the Awoken, but the queen of the Hive. This proves: Savathun is behind Eververse. Checkmate Bungie!”
- Another adds: “Telesto has developed a consciousness. Attempts to nerf it will only make it stronger. It is trying to tell us something.”
As you can see: the Guardians are having fun with this find.
What kind of weapon is this? “Telesto is da besto,” insiders have known for a long time. The fusion rifle Telesto already wreaked havoc in Destiny 1, and it came back in December 2017 with the DLC “Curse of Osiris” for Destiny 2.
The gag of Telesto: It fires fusion projectiles that stick to their target and explode after a delay.
Telesto is notorious for “breaking Destiny.” There have been numerous exploits with the weapon due to its unusual mechanic. Thus, Telesto was temporarily banned from the game in October 2019.
Telesto has a certain cult status among players because it fundamentally changes gameplay. The phrase “Telesto is da besto” has somehow stuck.
In the lore of Destiny 2, several hints are hidden. One of the biggest lore experts is known for uncovering these secrets.
