Over the weekend, players were searching for creepy voices in Destiny 2 . Whether you believe it or not, we will show you a simple way to experience the strange murmuring as well.
What’s it about? Last weekend, Guardian MPSlowy pointed out in the Destiny subreddit a strange whisper he believed to hear in the game. While he initially thought it was just background noise, he managed to capture the murmuring in a video.
A wave of Guardians followed, who also wanted to hear the strange whispers in the game. Moreover, many players had their own theories about what the creepy voices might mean.
Where can you hear the whispering? If you want to get a firsthand experience of the whisper, you should hang out in Cabal areas. The best and easiest place is the Lost Sector Skydock IV in the EDZ on Earth.
We have listed all Lost Sectors of Destiny 2 for you here.
- Go to the Lost Sector Skydock IV and clear it completely. The voices are best heard in the boss room.
- Turn off the in-game music and increase the other sound sliders if you haven’t done so already. It’s best to use headphones as well.
- It doesn’t matter which armor you wear. The whisper seems more related to the Cabal than to the equipment you are wearing.
Besides the Lost Sector, you can also hear the voices in the basement of the Leviathan. Some Guardians claim to have heard the whispering even during the raids. It is likely that the voices can be heard in all areas with Cabal activity, sometimes louder and clearer, other times just an incomprehensible mumble.
What does the whisper mean? Players are currently divided on whether Bungie added these strange voices merely as background noise or as a nice Easter egg, or if there’s something more to it. A similar whisper was already heard by Destiny 1 players in the Crota raid.
As players report, the whispering in the Cabal dwellings is not background noise but comes from a specific direction every time. You can hear this when listening to the whispers with headphones.
In Destiny lore, there are also frequent mentions of whispering: Among other things, in the Books of Sorrow and the new lore entry “The Book of Unmaking,” which was added with the Black Armory, whispering or soft voices are often mentioned.
Some players believe that Bungie is implying that our Guardian is turning away from the Light and approaching the Darkness. However, one might wonder why the voices are particularly present in the Cabal areas.
Further theories about the voices and what they might have to do with Calus, the Lord of the Leviathan, can be found in our original article on the phenomenon.
What do you think? Is Bungie just messing with us or do the voices have a deeper meaning?
