The Season of the Undying ends in just a couple of weeks and Bungie has dropped what should be the final bit of content progression as of today.
This season’s story focus has been mainly on the Vex, a skeevy group of time-traveling terminators hell bent on merging all realities into one singular timeline where the Vex rule all and there is no light or darkness. The Guardians (players) of Destiny’s story have repeatedly thwarted the plots of the Vex, culminating in the Curse of Osiris expansion where Guardians rescued Osiris from the Vex and virtually crippled their forces.
As of the start of the season Guardians had opened a portal to the Black Garden, birthplace to the Vex, and killed two very important pieces of the Vex hive mind. Kicking off the season in response, the Vex launched a mass invasion of the moon. Over the course of the season, Guardians have been working with Ikora Rey to handle the Vex invasion on two fronts; shutting down gate portals as they appear on the moon itself, and running raids on the Black Garden in order to put a stop to it once and for all. The raids on the Black Garden led players to the Undying Mind, and thus where the story is today.
Being creature that exist on multiple timelines and realities, the Undying Mind can’t just be destroyed once, it must be destroyed in all of the timelines that it exists. Therefore players must act as a community and kill the Undying Mind over, and over, and over again. The final offensive is virtually identical to the prior version except slightly more difficult. You go through the same motions of defeating two areas of Vex while simultaneously grinding Ikora’s daily missions, and instead of another giant Vex creature you have to bring the shields down on before you can kill him you get a different giant Vex you need to do the same on.
Regardless, it appears that the conclusion of this season will somehow lead into or become the catalyst for the next season that Bungie has planned. What could it be? Maybe the Drifter will become corrupted by the darkness he harnesses and end up going evil (as seems to be common with people who wield darkness in Destiny’s universe).
Only time will tell.
