Destiny may not be this editor’s favourite game in the world, but your humble host will always accept when something’s awesome – and this is awesome. Remember the futuristic shooter’s first ever Loot Cave that was patched up towards the end of September? Well, now it’s haunted. No, seriously.
If you head to the location in Old Russia, you’ll find an icon asking you to ‘Disturb the Remains’. Hold down the square button and you’ll be greeted by subliminal messages, one of which pointing out that a “million deaths are not enough for Master Rahool”. We suspect that the super fans among you are already chortling.
Those of you that need a little extra context: Rahool is the name of the game’s Cryptarch, who transforms engrams into loot – many of which were farmed in this location. Alright, in hindsight, maybe it’s not that funny – but it’s a nice little touch, and evidence of how Bungie’s long-tail support can keep this game interesting over a prolonged period of time.

I thought this was quite a funny little addition. Bungie has a decent sense of humour, bit of a shame that it doesn't use it more often.
Rahool? The cryptarch has an actual name? Well thats news to me. Am I blind or do I need to read grimoire cards to find this out?
@Bad-MuthaAdebis It's mentioned a few times in and around the Tower, but yeah... you can't be blamed for not knowing. Great characters all 'round.
It is a nice touch, a little sliver of humour and character in a game otherwise bereft of it.
Come on guys, everyone is so harsh on Destiny... But those sales figures and number of regular players tell a different story. Kinda reminds me of the Scottish independence referendum : all you ever used to see was 'yes' flags, yes voters on the news and yes voters on forums... Then 2 million people voted no! The silent majority obviously appreciate Destiny...
@Picola That's very true, you only ever hear the people who shout the loudest. Everyone else is off playing Destiny!
@ShogunRok ha ha, quite.
@Bad-MuthaAdebis NPC's names are shown above their heads before you speak to them
@viciousarcanum oh well, I usually slide in, hit square and then peg it when I'm done
Destiny is such a cool game, can't understand all the hate! Need to take on the vault of glass raid so if anyone wants to give it a go add me up

@Picola I think the Wii was one of the worst consoles made to date.
But it was the highest selling console at launch, outselling Xbox and Playstation.
Sales figures dont mean the game is good it just means people bought it.
I see your point.
For me, soloing a Nightfall and getting a single energy is appalling, and its no wonder why people are annoyed.
@Picola The people who were harsh on Destiny had valid reasons to be. However it's all old now and arguing Destinys good and bad points should be done...those who were dissatisfied (like me) should have moved on (I did) and those who are happy with the game still playing it....it's the people still playing the game while also complaining about it that baffle me.
Well for me it's now just grinding.....grinding.....grinding.....
Lvl 28 near 29 just need ascendant shards! Just doing the same old does become ugh, lol can't wait to see what the DLC is like for this game
