ThoughDestiny 2is no stranger to mysteries both big and small, none of them have ever been quite as popular as the infamous 15th wish from theForsaken-era Last Wish raid. While some might’ve expected this particular narrative thread to never be fully untangled, Bungie’s just upended that theory.
It should go without saying that this piece of news is loaded with spoilers for the Season of the Witch and its final, most important cutscene. Those who haven’t yet gotten to that point and wish to do so ought to stop reading, with that in mind. Players have beenneither here nor there about the storytelling of Season 22, but the final mission of theImbaru Enginehas ended up revealing that Savathun has, in fact, been waving the 15th wish of the Wishing Wall in front of the Guardians all along.
If you haven’t yet gotten around to completing the whole roster of Imbaru Engine puzzles yourself, you can check out the short but sweet reveal cutscene using the link featured below, as uploaded byDestiny 2player Kliuqard:
The Wishing Wall from Destiny 2: Forsaken is now complete
As anyone who’s spent any amount of timefarming loot inDestiny 2‘s The Last Wishwill know, this particular raid features somethingno other raidhas got: the Wishing Wall. On it, Guardians can input codes that do all manner of things, from spawning in loot chests all the way to embedding metaphysical hyper-predators into their psyche (e.g. a literal ahamkara).
The final, 15th code, however, has remained hidden and only hinted at in lore ever since theForsakenDLC’s come out, and players have been eagerly anticipating its eventual reveal, only for it to drop out of nowhere as the final reveal of the Season of the Witch.
Now, as it turns out, it was the player Guardian themselves who figured out that the 15th wish was jotted down on Savathun’s own wings,setting the stage for next year’sThe Final ShapeDLC. Of course, there’s one more season of content to go beforeThe Final Shapehits, and as soon as players unlocked the final Imbaru Engine cutscene, Bungie congratulated them onTwitterwith a big reveal.
Congratulations to those who have solved the final puzzle of the Imbaru Engine.Season of the Wish arrives on November 28. Until then, O Guardian Mine.pic.twitter.com/OOM25MFeRw
In hindsight, it shouldn’t be a huge surprise that the final season before the grand finale of the Light and Dark saga wraps up would deal with the wish-dragons. The execution of this whole reveal is quite neat, in fact, and would’ve been way more impressivehad Bungie not bungled almost all player goodwillwith a recent round of layoffs and pushbacks.
As it is, this is a historicDestinymoment that might not end up getting the attention it deserves, with a fairly impressive leadup into an all-new season of content – the Season of the Wish – due to begin on November 28.
