If you have ever ventured inside the Prophecy dungeon in Destiny 2, you are most-too-familiar with at least a handful of these painful moments. Bungie’s official Twitter account for Destiny just recently posted about this in-game instance, asking how many of these fails players have witnessed. So the replies? Oh boy, comedy, tragedy, and chaos combined.
Let’s talk right off the bat about the tweet. A simple question had been posed to the players, asking them to confirm their mishaps inside the Prophecy dungeon. The answers received were merely priceless, as gamers flooded the Twitter thread with their horror stories of being yeeted off the map mid-super and even struggling through the infamously hard cube room (why does everyone abandon during that part, anyway?).
One of the interesting responses came from @Rosesytv, saying: “Dude is it bad that I done… all of these? 😔 And honestly? Mood. Then @ELRageEntity added disbelief that any could finish the Dead Sea part of the dungeon before five seconds were up. Yes, same here. That part is brutal.”
And then there’s another classic one from @knitehawk, “Never done any of these. I am literally the best. I’ve completed this dungeon 42069 times. I have solo flawlessed Prophecy with a guitar hero controller and my monitor turned off.” Okay, sure, buddy. We believe you. (No, we do not.)
However, others were not having it. That tried-and-true “Who gives a fuck” from @CameronBro200 hit us, and I’m totally fine with that. Not everyone’s gonna find time to dwell on dungeon issues when loot is awaiting them. Speaking of which, @XxBabyxBaconxX said that they haven’t even farmed Prophecy from those rewards cos they’re “so shit.” Ouch.
In the meantime, some others went on to use the opportunity to air more complaints about Destiny 2-related issues. @RedGiant17 and @Dra9onSlayer5 both brought the topic of seasonal episodes onto the scene, questioning why those hadn’t been unlocked yet contrary to announcements earlier from Bungie. Meanwhile, @idrinkwine30 took a shot at Bungie for nearly not tweeting about the upcoming expansion. Hey now. Marketing department? Is anybody home?
The real MVP of the thread was from @zarbusiness, who dropped some pro tips: “I quickly learned to cast Thundercrash immediately after Kell Echo spawns a blight.” Now, this is the kind of wisdom we need more of.
At the end of the day, this tweet was a perfect reminder of why Destiny 2’s community is so special. Whether you are a flawless dungeon god or somebody still falling off the map on the jumping puzzle, there is always something to laugh or cry about. And honestly, that is beauty.
So next time you load into Prophecy, know you aren’t alone in this suffering. We’ve been there. If not, well, you are either lying, or you are @knitehawk. (Still don’t believe you.)
