Riddle of Lunar Mist
You have been challenged, guardian, in the ways of old. This riddle is designed to throw you off. Will you stray from the path, or stay true to your goal?
Who/What am I?
How many times have I been wiped?.. You will dream of teeth, and nothing else. I link together to control destruction, to create and channel the indirect non-creation. Once I am confronted, it will turn. Its own kind has made me instruments of its torture. It is not I that threaten you, but it is my absence that will surely provoke. But at the very least, I am here. Yes, surely, you have sealed yourself in its liberation. And when the wholly battle cry is uttered, your master will solemnly nod, for I have exacted its doom.

[b]Explanation:[/b]
[spoiler]"You will...nothing else." -Line from the description of Voidfang Vestments, but meant to mean Hellmouth, on account of the despairing tone and the hellish imagery put forth in its communication.
"I link to together...non-creation." -A possible misdirect to the Arcbolt Grenade, but actually means the links of a chain.
"Once I am confronted, it will turn" -If you get close to Phogoth, the chains break and he turns towards you.
"Own kind...torture" -The Hive chained him up, but could be Variks, yes?
"It is not I...surely provoke" -Chains=you're good, chains break=f**king run away from the eye blast.
"Sealed yourself in its liberation." -Once he's free, you're screwed.
"Wholly battle cry." -Play-on words of holy battle cry, alluding in a literal sense to the Summoning Pits's name.
"Master will nod." -"The Vanguard will be grateful." -Dinklebot
"I have exacted its doom." -The chains kept him in place while guardians would shoot at him.
"Lunar Mist" -Lunar refers to the moon, limiting options off the get-go and sets people on the right track only to be thrown off during the riddle by the mist.[/spoiler]

15 RepliesEdited by A Little Birdie: 6/13/2015 7:50:46 PMThe confluxes kinda fit. Edit: reasoning How many times have I been wiped?.. -The confluxes apear and disappear. You will dream of teeth, and nothing else. I link together to control destruction, to create and channel the indirect non-creation. -This part made me think of gorgons, but I'm thinking "teeth" as in cogs in a gear (also they kinda look like teeth), the confluxes also seem to be parts of a whole; communication network of sorts Once I am confronted, it will turn. Its own kind has made me instruments of its torture. -when confluxes appear, the vex nearly always try to sacrifice themselves to it. (I always found that weird honestly) It is not I that threaten you, but it is my absence that will surely provoke. -enough vex sacrifice themselves and you lose. Dunno if they destroy the conflux or not, so I'm unsure of this part. But at the very least, I am here. Yes, surely, you have sealed yourself in its liberation. -this stumped me, made me think of the aegis, until I thought of "sealing yourself" being similar to being near and defending the confluxes And when the wholly battle cry is uttered, your master will solemnly nod, for I have exacted its doom. -specifically when fighting the Templar, it's battle cry "ritual of negation"? While not precisely associated with the confluxes - it does do this at the end of every conflux round.

2 RepliesTHE SHIELD ISN'T IT? It becomes an instrument of the Vex's destruction, and the Vex's master is Atheon, and the shield exacts it's doom, It's absence causes the Guardians to lose, it is required.
