Savathun is powered by imbaru and has a ghost named Immaru?
Immaru is a Sumerian word for "light" and as Battuta pointed out, Imbaru is the Sumerian word for 'mist'

I think Sava named Immaru too? (Or he took up that name after joining the Hive, but forgot the lore source for that outside the wiki having it in trivia)

I follow, but like... is there any significance to that? I'm missing something if this is any more meaningful than if she were powered by Gasoline and had a ghost named Vaseline.

After seeing what happened to Eris now I want to see a resurrected Savathun lose a bit of the hive magic and magic morph into a more human-ish shape.

No real reason, I just think it would be neat and make people speculate a lot.

The key underlying feature of Eris' entire character, the foundational bedrock that makes Eris Morn work, is that she ticks every single box of the Person Who Turns Evil list and never, ever does.

Except for all those timelines where she overindulges in the darkness and joins the Witness.

Just gotta see if the Guardian's friendship is enough to save her in this one.

(I want to fight Eris in the next dungeon and turn her into a gun)

I dunno, I feel like this one time they'll do it right and have the final boss be raid only.

They flat-out confirmed that you fight the Witness in the raid. They also said you'll still get a full experience from the campaign alone. They also also said that it's kind of an inversion of Oryx. These things all seem very contradictory to me, so who knows.

Fight the Witness in the raid, kill the Witness in a final-stand everyone can play solo?

Decompile the Witness in the raid, reconcile Light and Dark post campaign?

I'm guessing its something like the end of the campaign is going to be stop The Witness from doing whatever the gently caress he's trying to do with the Traveller and weaken him and the raids gonna be to bust down the door to his last sanctum and turbo murder him.

I really hope I get to kill the Witness by standing on a plate and shouting symbols and then my fireteam grabs a ball and shouts other symbols then I get a buff that lets me shoot a crystal under more symbols, then I get 25 seconds to shoot my heavy weapon at the glowing weak point for massive damage.

For anyone else who was waiting for one for their harmonizers, Banshee is selling Retrofit Escapade, with a pretty good roll already (4th Time, Target Lock, decent barrel and mag), though I think the perks reset in...six or seven hours from now?

Unless we depower the Witness in the campaign the raid doesn't make sense, because (A) why doesn't he just clickslice everyone the second the fight starts and (B) the Witness has been established as the kind of character who is 100% against any kind of messing around like balls, plates, forcefields or bubbles, and absolutely would clickslice a motherfucker if that's an option.

Yeah didn't he invent all our Raid Mechanics basically to make fun of us?

I'm sure the campaign involves depowering him and/or empowering us to prevent the clickslice (I like the way that term feels)

My guess is that, in the campaign, we trap him in a little pocket universe where he successfully deletes everything. The raid is six guardians metaphorically pouring bleach into the sink drain that leads to his septic tank dimension.

It's the only LMG with the FTTC+Target Lock combo, which is a pretty popular one. Until this season it was also the only Void LMG with Target Lock, but it looks like the new Gambit LMG has it too.

This is how you communicate with a fellow intelligence: you hurt it, you keep on hurting it, until you can distinguish the posts from the screams.
There’s just one Witness instance across all platforms with an enormous health bar, and you can queue up to do 1 DPS phase on him then you go to the back of the line. When he finally dies it unlocks a Bungie.net post and he resets back to full health.

It’s bananas with the FTTC/target lock. If you can hold it on a crit spot it just fires for A Long loving Time (TM).
