Wormgod as a boss
I am pleasantly surprised after re watching the trailer and seeing the large shadow in the shape of some large caterpillar. Obviously this is a worm god by the name Xol, the hive worm god that nokris is worshipping on mars. It’s cool how bungie is having 2 big bad guys for a small expansion!
This is a great step up from us just killing the story enemy and fighting an unrelated raid boss. So hopefully either nokris or xol will survive the gaurdian onslaught on mars. If so, I believe bungie will have big plans for the hive in the future especially since Xol is the closest thing to the darkness right now. D3 is about the darkness so it could be a good story direction in bungies part.

haha, remember when worm gods were powerful beings? then we shot one with scout rifles for about 3 minutes and it died, lol.

1 ReplyThe Worm Gods are vessels of Darkness. Killing one by standing in four circles would kind of not do them justice.

10 RepliesActually, the shadow that we see is not Xol. Nor is it a Worm God. For a size reference, take a look at the Dreadnaught. It's that large and was made from only a piece of the Worm God Akka. The shadow that we see in the Warmind teaser is most likely just a worm larva of a very powerful Hive host, which would be Nokris. Nokris might even have a real form like Oryx did in Kings Fall. And if I had to guess, the one on Titan is Oryx's worm larva. After Kings Fall, his corpse floats away from the Dreadnaught towards Saturn, possibly exits orbit and fell to Titan, where it emerged to swim around in the ocean. Savathun realizes this and claims it for herself by the time our character reaches Io, and gains the power to Take. You can expect the Worm Gods Yul and Eir to exceed the size of the Dreadnaught, as they fed on the intelligent creature called the Leviathan, who was their warden alongside the Traveller.

5 RepliesYou know what would be really cool is if we fought a -blam!-ing dragon. Worms or wyrms could also be dragons. I want to slay a -blam!-ing dragon!

4 RepliesI’m concerned to have Xol as a campaign villain and Nokris as a strike boss. The only ways I can see this working is if one or both survive, but are weakened and have to retreat and return stronger in D3 or something. Or if Rasputin kills Xol because you can’t and Nokris is really involved in the campaign. Having such powerful enemies with so much backstory and foreshadowing in a $20 DLC can go sideways super easily. But if done right, I agree, it’s a huge step up from previous $20 DLCs.

If you look closely in the shot with a Suros Regime you can see [i]something[/i] resembling a worm moving across the surface in the top left.

2 RepliesThe strike about nokris says: stop him from funneling even more power to the worm god (something along those lines) I predict we won’t kill xol in the story, because how could nokris funnel power to a dead thing? It’s gotta be alive in some way; ascendant realm, hive underworld, etc.

Bring it

3 RepliesThe hive suck
-
I agree including this expansion also focuses on Rasputin. So this could tell us more about the Warminds
-
1 ReplyEh. I don't know why we're focusing on a few hive on Mars when we're already aware of Sava'thun and her massive army of both hive and taken, in addition to an unknown species which may or may not Savathun's army.

9 Replies<Yeah but it won't be set up properly... it's a $20 DLC...>

1 ReplyImagine an entire message mission where we enter Xol and destroy him from within. At the very least, this would banish the wormgod to his Realm hopefully far away from us.
-
2 RepliesExcept Nokris is a strike boss... dammit bungo
-
At least its not going to be a giant knight or wizard
-
[i]Giant worm coming to sink the city.[/i] Aren't you glad I decided to stick around?
-
I‘ll laugh so hard if you only get to see a shadow of him. And then have to fight against a sloghtly bigger knight, lol
-
3 RepliesNokris is getting brained in a strike. Hopefully Xol doesn't kick the bucket in a $20 expansion. Hoping they give Xol a good introduction and do the lore some justice as to why a WormGod is on Mars near Rasputin. Also....please don't -blam!- up Rasputins character.
-
That's not a caterpillar ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

9 RepliesThis would be fun, but it doesn't fit the lore... According to the Books of Sorrow, the wormgods are small. The Hive "eat" them and they live symbiotically. The Hive who eat them are sort of in debt to the wormgod for their power. They have to complete certain tasks (if you want to say it that way) in order to "feed" the god inside of them, or they die. Most people speculate that the giant "worms" we've seen are ancient sea creatures and won't have anything to do with the story... just decoration for the levels. This is my favorite source for lore: http://www.ishtar-collective.net/

Out of context but, worm god = death. Are you reasy to die or live forever in (?)? Lol
-
1 ReplyA giant worm god we fight? And in this DLC we have powerful high tech spears? And since season 2 bulbous puffy ghosts are a thing? Where have I seen that before? hmmmm... [url=https://i.imgur.com/2Q8YTff.jpg]Oh I remember now! [/url]

It could be Charlemagne's goal to take control of this Hive worm and you must ally yourself with Ana and Rasputin to stop him before that happens and mars becomes the Hive homeworld
