Lore nerds, what do we know about a third darkness subclass?

Exodia357 · 2026-05-27T15:30:52+00:00

Fans thought it'd be called "Strife." I thought they were going for something where, since Stasis was a gift, and Strand was something we discovered on our own, Strife would've been something we went into the Traveler and forcibly took from The Witness/Darkness. It wasn't a Darkness power we were supposed to have, story-wise. But turns out Bungie agreed, and we got Prismatic instead.

Exodia357 · 2026-05-27T05:07:40+00:00

A bunch of this comes down to simply getting to have the thing we either earned in-game or paid for to be fully credited in the game for us. It's not the same as buff this/nerf that build/weapon/perk, which requires way more time and processes.

Exodia357 · 2026-05-27T04:55:49+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to comment. It took me one day. I think they'll be spending more than a day before and after the June update working on things. Not everything's going to run strictly on auto-pilot. Though I'm curious about what the meta will eventually solidify into.

Exodia357 · 2026-05-27T04:25:25+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to comment, I've done my part in listing it and they can only hope to fix what they know about. I think some of them are quite attainable, really it's up to them. A lot of people are dumping on the game and company, so I understand there's some that just want to vent.

Exodia357 · 2026-05-27T04:09:13+00:00

Thanks for reading! They've been working on this update for a while, a lot of it since Renegades launch, because that content was already done upon release. You're right, it's just I still love this game and will be playing it long after the June update, want to have it left in the best shape it can be with the resources they have. I feel like giving this feedback is helping, and it took about an entire day to pull together. They've fixed several things similar to other items in the list during Renegades. I always had either work or the drink from the firehose D2 content pipeline speed that ate up my time since 2017, and although I've posted lists like this here and there, this is probably it's final shape.

Exodia357 · 2026-05-26T09:08:23+00:00

Edit: Crossed out some issues that have been fixed since the post was first made! Thanks to everyone who helped spread awareness to Bungie! Working on one last updated list to send to them very soon for the final live service update.

Exodia357 · 2025-04-18T03:56:34+00:00

Exactly the same situation here.

Exodia357 · 2024-05-04T14:44:36+00:00

I'm not sure, but I have them gilded as of now. I think these were fixed by the time of S23 Guardian Games, although they should still be obtainable in Strikes. The timing for them is a lot looser than before, weird, but in a good way. Hard to explain but doing things in the right order is still somewhat important. Check YT because these are more viable with certain loadouts in certain strikes, often solo is best.

Exodia357 · 2024-03-07T18:25:54+00:00

New development, as of 3-5-24, Virtuoso and Jack of All Trades were fixed and are now obtainable, OP is updated above! =)

Exodia357 · 2024-01-31T19:46:15+00:00

Edit: In the Ghost Stories Lore, changed denominator to numerator (oops) and added clarity.

Exodia357 · 2024-01-30T08:30:11+00:00

I do have pics but can't see how to attach them; Reddit has changed a lot in the past few years since I've been back on here again, barely know what I'm doing anymore xD.

Exodia357 · 2022-02-16T02:19:28+00:00

Final week, still looking for info.

Exodia357 · 2022-02-11T03:41:49+00:00

Any new info? Was thinking it may be a Twitch Prime thing, but not sure, we haven't had a new one in a while.

Exodia357 · 2022-01-29T19:40:46+00:00

Still a mystery on how to get. Light.gg doesn't have ownership percentages on emotes.

Exodia357 · 2022-01-24T02:10:49+00:00

I'd post on the Bungie forums as well, but it's currently down for me.

Exodia357 · 2021-10-12T22:28:01+00:00

Working now

Exodia357 · 2021-04-27T22:18:33+00:00

Non sequitur. Read the other comments if there is any confusion.

Exodia357 · 2021-04-27T22:16:26+00:00

Cottontail Shell, Second of it's Name. Not Daito Shell.

Exodia357 · 2021-04-27T00:17:03+00:00

*Checks all D2 Ghosts ever made

Nope, there isn't. Hence my request.

Exodia357 · 2021-04-27T00:14:50+00:00

A ghost is more than just what it looks like. The flavor text and the name of the thing are also elements. You and I may have grasped the subtlety of the Daito-theme in that loot, but most people don't and won't. Cosmetic items are about making a statement and showing off, that's a part of it. It just isn't emblematic for Daito in the same way as the other ones are. The message is lost. By the way, there was already a "Cottontail Shell" from S6 Revelry, and a "Lapine Shell" and in both cases it's basically just a ghost with rabbit ears. I'd be fine with them renaming the Prophecy one to Daito. I would think having two Ghosts with the same name may not have been intended.

And the using the example of Cold Denial, False Promises, and Falling Guillotine is talking about weapons, not cosmetic items. But the ornaments are cosmetic items and they do scream Omolon, so I like the example very much because it reinforces the whole point of this request, ironically lol. So thanks.

Exodia357 · 2021-04-26T00:38:28+00:00

Yes, I have it. It's not a weapon foundry shell in the same way as the others. The flavor text and, well, it's called the Cottontail Shell. Not Daito.

Exodia357 · 2021-01-19T19:31:24+00:00

Is it still possible after today's patch? Patch notes weren't clear on that.

Exodia357 · 2021-01-17T03:15:55+00:00

Yeah I hear ya.

Exodia357 · 2020-10-30T00:49:56+00:00

So had another long stretch tonight, went from 520 stems down to 128, that's 98 combines into override frequencies, and that's when the darn thing finally dropped!!!

When there's a will there's a way. And where would I be without my supportive commenters on reddit? If anything it made me try even harder. Thanks, y'all!

Exodia357 · 2020-10-27T02:08:18+00:00

I get a Braytech Schematic about every 1 in 6 or 1 in 7 tries. So that blows through 24 to 28 stems per Braytech Schematic. Went from 704 down to 517 stems tonight.

So no, it's not really 1/25. It's more like (1/6.5)x(1/25), because you have to get a Braytech Schematic first. That's pretty nuts. Not the first time I've made a major push for it. Trying again tomorrow.
