Luzaku: Friendly? Guardians: Friendly! 🌈Friendship🌈

I love how simple Luzaku's refutation of sword logic is. Literally just "I don't kill, and I don't die" and thats it.

Love that Mithrax refers to Luzaku as "Guardian" just like us and not as "Lucent Brood." It's really wholesome in a way.

“What do you want to eat?” Luzaku’s ghost: “THE SOULS OF THE INNOCENT.” Luzaku: “A bagel.” Ghost: “NOOO!” Luzaku: “Two bagels.”

friendship ended with finch. luzaku is now my best friend

I actually got a conversation between her and savathun. Savathun actually congratulates her, because of all her brood- Luzaku was the only one who truly wants the same thing as Savathun. Freedom to decide her own story. To not be content in merely following behind a greater force, but rather making something of yourself by your own choices.

It’s amazing how easily I can be won over by a character simply not shooting me in a situation where I expect it to shoot me… though just how cool and friendly she is definitely helps too.

I just love how LITERALLY all of us instantly clinged to her

When I first did the Lost Sector she’s in, I saw her and I was like “Oh Neat an actually friendly Hive Guardian. FRIEND!”

There's one with Ikora and Luzaku where Ikora tells her of an Acolyte Lightbearer who spared Guardians and their Ghosts and wonders if she's the same one, apparently when she crossed the threshold, she was changed from an Acolyte to a Wizard.

Luzaku a real one fr, all my homies love Luzaku. WE STAN LUZAKU IN THIS HOUSEHOLD

I’m glad I’m not the only one who was immediately onboard with her, if we gave Uldren another chance she should get one too.

So long as they prove worthy of trust, I think we can trust hive guardians. Just like Mithrax and his house of Eliksni. Or Caitl and the Cabal she commands. Just because we've been killing each other's kind for years, decades, or even centuries in some cases doesn't mean we can't make peace with individuals deserving of it. Side note, I loved the Mithrax/Luzaku dialogue the most. Was a very nice touch that Mithrax didn't create a distinction between Hive and Earth-Born Guardians. Luzaku is just a Guardian to him like the rest of us.

I love her

For some reason I find Luzaku’s ghost creeper than Immaru. At least he gives the general impression of a prick, but Euloch is basically the Ghost equivalent of an emo kid being edgy - only with added blood thirst and sword logic

A couple of years ago I believed the Hive were beyond reason. Luzaku my dear, you have proven me wrong.

I really like her voice, never imagined that a Hive would be a pleasant thing to be around.

- Speaks in a ghostly and whispery voice - Always referring to herself as "this one" I recognize the way she talks. The hanars from Mass Effect speak like that.

The fact that Luzaku and Savathun are both present in Excision and Savathun didn't even say anything says to me that Savathun has further plans for Luzaku.

As for unique npcs talking to luzaku, ive gotten savathuun talking to her and that was really interesting. I dont remember all the details but she was praising luzaku in a sense. Saying shes happy she made her own choice, and hopes more will in the future. A friend got one with caitel, and caitel was not very friendly with her, while luzaku kept trying to take the moral high ground in the conversation

Mara’s interaction is so honest and vulnerable, I adore it

Best girl we need more luzaku in our lives

Seeing as Luzaku is also voiced by Mara's voice actress, Kirsten Potter, she's literally just talking to herself in the lost sector

This one is pleased with your news. This one hopes for more.

Guardian see not shoot, Guardian make friend

There's one I keep getting with ikora, she asks if she's the same acolyte named luzaku that spared a guardian, to which she says she was reforged for a purpose and invites ikora to contemplate with her about why. Ikora awkwardly declines.

i think i like her so much because she just noped out of the hive dogma. It also makes me like Savathun more by extension. Given how many people (inlcuding myself) were like 'omg she's so cool i love her' i'd say Savathun was successful in yet another scheme, but i'd also assume she respects those under her who have different perspectives as she can use that to her own ends.

Well, based on the 4 interactions you showed us, I think Luzaku is having her "precursor" stage, she is looking for purpose for her " place in the universe " as she states it. However, its also clear she is not in a rush to find it. Furthermore, it seems she is a dreamer, she is able to contemplate the light and " see " multiple possibilities offered by the light.

Love Luzaku, I already prefer the idea of her guiding the Lucent Brood more than Savathûn

Luzaku: * Exists * Me: "I'd fight 1000 Tormentors just to protect her 🥲"

I did get some dialogue between Luzaku and Savathún, and she mentions that Luzaku is the first one to truly "understand". Savathún also says something about the Hive having become a hierarchical mess, and seems to support Luzaku's decision, I'd go as far as saying she wants more of the lucent Hive to do much the same and make their own choices

I got a run through with Luzaku and Glint talking, he was really intrigued by her, and sounded like he was wanting to talk more about her experiences, which she was willing to do as well.

Byf is a married man. His wife is called My name is Wyf

I absolutely love Luzaku!! I didn't know I needed this!

Luzaku is like that one enemy in a pvp game that t-bags with you and both of you burn friends and foes down, together forever

I do hope Alak-hul makes a return. We never killed his Ghost, and he does have rebellious tendencies already. Savathun only had him standing watch over Oryx's temple, which when you look around, is just a backwater slum in an abandoned corner of the Throne World.

I find it interesting how with humanity, Ghosts and Guardians tend to have very similar personalities. Ghosts and Hive however seem to be almost always at odds with each other. Savathun and Immaru are always arguing, Fynch refused to raise his knight, we've seen lore of one hive that wished to remain dead but his Ghost insistently raising him, and now we have Euloch and Luzaku with their enmity.

As far as I can remember there was also a dialogue between Luzaku and Ikora. I think it was about how Luzaku spared a Ghost as Acolyte, then turned into a Wizard later on, with ikora asking alot of Questions. But Luzaku is easily the second best girl, right after Failsafe

Luzaku is so god damn tranquil, her Ghost is a rabbid beast though? God I need more in depth stuff with them.

when you replay her lost sector, you can also learn further that micah-10 knew luzaku's ghost before it turned to the hive, and in an interaction with ikora luzaku says that the traveler turned her from a lightbearer acolyte into a female wizard morph when she entered the pale heart

We really were overdue for some hive allies would’ve loved to fight side by side with Finch’s Guardian.

I remember reading lore about her before the release of The Final Shape expansion. I'm happy that she's in the game.

Byf, theres another rather interesting piece of Lost Sector dialogue between her and Ikora, in which Ikora mentions the events of the Lucent Tale, but states the Guardian she spared reported that Luzaku was an Acolyte. She questions Luzaku about why she is a Wizard, and Luzaku states that as she passed through the portal into the Pale Heart, the Traveler physically transformed her body from Acolyte to Wizard, for an as of yet unknown purpose.

I’ve gotten a dialogue with glint and luzaku speaking about her ghost resurrecting her and how every resurrection is a new life for her.

Luzaku, to me, seems to be the character most adhering to what the gardener wants, with Crow being a close second. It would be cool to see her ascend in the Heresy episode and maybe she is the shake up on the hive pantheon

There are actually two more conversations I found with Luzaku that didn't get mentioned in this video, there might be one with Zavala and Caiatl yet to be found but here's the ones I got. One is with Ikora who asks what changed Luzaku's perspective to which Luzaku says she doesn't know, but invites Ikora to contemplate with her. The other is with none other than Savathun herself, and what I found interesting is that Savathun doesn't say anything bad to her, but rather commends Luzaku for deciding to ally with the Guardians and seeing past 'The hierarchal mess' the Hive have become. Idk, I find the one with Savathun the most interesting one of all.

Deviantart is bouta go crazy over Luzaku

She’s instantly just such an interesting character that opens up so many possibilities. I love how her intuition resonates through all of her interactions with us and the other characters.

Luzaku can also have a conversation with savathun where savathun basically says “im glad you made your own choice” which seems to confirm savathun did plan for her to choose peace.

Gosh, i love how much additional lost sector dialogue they added for her. This isn't even all of them, i got one super insightful one where she talks to savathun directly. So much cool stuff. Love her lmao

Luzaku is precious and I welcome her. And my Guardian would most definietly offer her a hug

I was genuinely surprised that she became a Hive friend. Nice!

in this household, we simp for Luzaku

Remember how in Season of Risen we learned that Savathun controls the Lucent Brood through Psychic Projections mind-controlling them… so, I suppose it’s safe to assume that Luzaku found a way to remove Savathuns Projections from her mind somehow? I’d really love it if the Lucent Hive started to Evolve physically thanks to the Light. Remember that epic Moth People Concept Art? The Lucent Hive could change into them! Grow flesh, skin, Wings, fur. I’d love to see that! This brings me to a related topic. Remember how in the Season of the Risen we learned that the Lucent Broods plan was to convert the Moon into a Lucent Hive and then bring Savathuns Throne World into it? At the time, we thought this was a “dumb plan” that may be set up to fail and not planned by Savathun. That cannot be the case considering Savathuns Projections were still mind-controlling them. I think i figured it out: Savathuns plan was to trick the Traveler into entering her Throne World, then the Throne World would be fused with the Moon, granting Savathun abilities like the Dreadnaught (another physical Throne World)and remember how the Traveler can fire Light-Terraforming Blasts? I think Savathunwas going to use this to “Reterraform” Sol for the Lucent Hive! Savathun didn’t just want to hide, she wanted to win.

Luzaku is the most powerful hive lightbearer because she now has an army of guardian simps.

10/10 would share vintage inks with and debate over the subtleties and hints of taste between different varieties. I mean, I guess I could also offer her some crayons - I usually keep some in my kit whenever an allied Titan wants a snack, but I'm fresh out of chalk with all the Hunters I've been around.

Thank you KZfaq autoplay for knowing i want to watch the new byf video

Now give us the story of the friendly exploding shank in the Mithrax side quest

There is 5 more luzaku lost sectors that i know off byf! One with glint, ikora, Zavala, caital, and SAVATHUN! Savathun is actually proud of Luzaku!!!!

Luzaku and Failsafe in the same release cycle is great lol

Luzaku is better than me, I've crushed so many ghosts

I've only had Luzaku for a Lost Sector and a half but if anything happened to here I woudl kill everyone in the traveler, and then myself

Luzaku was something I wasn't expecting, but definitely welcomed, and I would love more Hive like this. Not exactly being our allies but choosing not to be our enemies, anymore. Choosing their own "truth", like Luzaku did. What if we find a Hive Hunter that abandoned their brood for loot! Traveling everywhere looking for cool stuff they consider cool loot. Even using our weapons and Exotics, and maybe having some unique Hive ones. What if we find a Hive Titan that found something they want to protect. Maybe their own small brood of Hive, stuck somewhere, and they wish to protect them. What if we find another Hive Warlock, but one that abandoned their brood to learn more things everywhere. Not for any strategic reason, but fo a inner desire of WANTING to learn. Personally I think it would be great to find more Lucent Hive finding their own truths in their existence, and if we can finally add "Hive" in Team Coalition, I'm game.

Byf if you look around her crib you see what looks like eggs. So perhaps we’ll get a friendly lucent brood that will hopefully one day be integrated into the city, like we have with the House of Light

BUUUUUUUUNGIEEEEEEE!!! GIVE LUZAKU TANIKS-LEVEL PLOT ARMOR!!! And my life... is yours!

Luzaku just rocketed to my favorite destiny 2 character

I actually got Caital convo with Luzaku. Caital and her were going back and forth reminding me of love vs hate. But it also felt like Caital was very understanding but couldn’t be bc the Hive took her home world. Was very interesting dialogue.

You missed the Luzaku interaction with caitl- the best one

Two important ones that you didn't get here is Luzaku conversing with Micah 10 and, more importantly, one with Savathun. You should really try and get footage for those ones, cause it's *crazy*.

I have heard a conversation between her and Savathun upon completing her lost sector. I can't remember all of it, but I do recall that Savathun commends her for thinking for herself and making her own decisions, as opposed to the rest of the Lucent Brood.

Luzaku to me represents the hope that the lucent hive may abandon the bladed path entirely. the investigation within the lore about a thrall that seemed to withhold its tithe revealing that savathun has become a wellspring of light and that light flows down the tithing system like a river gives me similar hope. the lucent hive are something new, and the old ways only hold them back. it's good to see one of them realize this.

Some how we listened to every dialogue I havnt heard, and not the only one I’ve heard where Savathun is actually kind of proud of Luzaku for making her own choices, her own fate if you will

There is also a dialog in the lost sector with Savathun where she literally says that it's good she chose her own path and that the hive don't need Savathun

luzaku best girl

I really like the understanding Luzaku had of her position and others disdain for her, but that clapback at Misraks was awesome. I love actual interactions with tension and emotion like we’ve seen the past several seasons.

I love that Luzaku made a choice to try peace with us and it worked in her favor, and ours too!

Goated hive

Not only can I trust Luzaku, I want to get her a comfy sweater, sit down with her and have some tea while reading manga. I'd like to think she'd enjoy reading some yuri.

Guardian: meets Luzaku. Also Guardian: "She's my sister now"

I was just running through this lost sector again for a quest and I was like imma need some lore behind this friendly lucent hive. She’s so cool!

Mommy Luzaku 🤤

There's at least one more Luzaku conversation than the ones recorded here, with Glint. They discuss Luzaku's use of "this one" instead of "I".

Byf, when I ran this Sector a second time, there was a bit of dialog where Savathun herself as she claims herself she praises Luzaku for choosing for herself her actions. That she wants that for all her brood. Luzaku thinks her mocking her, but Savathun reiterates she isn't. There's als9 one where Ikora asks Luzaku about that first Lore Tab you read. Ikora claims during this that the Hive Lightbearer was an Acolyte and asks why Luzaku is now a Wizard. Luzaku admits not to know why she's transformed without quote "molting" unquote through Sword Logic...

Having Sky being a metaphor for the freedom she has been given by the Light, having Luzaku say “the sky greets you” is so wholesome because she greets you as a free individual. Where Misraaks said “I greet you in the Light” to signify that he has given up on the violent pursuit of the Traveler and now stand shoulder to shoulder with the Guardians to protect the light and it’s people, Luzaku shows that when an undividual in a hivemind can seek freedom all the same as Misraaks sought for peace

I had one more dialogue in the lost sector involving Ikora and Luzaku. Ikora briefly mentions the interaction in the Euloch lore book, and how in said interaction it was reported Luzaku was an acolyte, not a wizard. This is also true in the lore book as well, notice her ghost calling her weapon a "Splitter" and not Wizard magic. Luzaku then mentions upon entering the pale heart, her form had changed. I thought this was worth bringing up and perhaps investigating further.

There’s a dialogue with Glint as well. TLDR: Luzaku and glint talk about why Luzaku refers to herself as “this one”, originating from her belief that each resurrection is a new person rather than the same person being brought back over and over again. IMO shows not only a splinter in the hive but how this culture views the light/guardians.

When I ran the lost sector again Luzaku had a conversation with Savathun, they talked about how Luzaku broke out into becoming an individual instead of part of the whole brood. I think Savathun also mentioned that she wants this to happen, to have the hive become their own individuals instead of relying on senseless violence and sword logic. Basically a conversation of Savathun inciting curiosity and retrospection in Luzaku and asking her to keep thinking and keep being doubtful and curious

Luzaku was one of my favorite surprises in the campaign. It had the same feeling of meeting Mithrax years ago. I don't think Luzaku is looking to be a leader in the same way but she is another example of how the Traveler wants us to make our own choices and choose our own fate. I also love the voicework for her; the actress for that does a great job.

Luzaku is just so adorable. I hope we get her in a major storyline

To add on to the Lost Sector NPC dialog, another 2 that can speak with Luzaku is Ikora and Savathun. Also in Excision its not just Luzaku who can join you, she can also be joined by a Hive Hunter and a Hive Titan as well.

I got a conversation with Luzaku and Savathun, I think when I went back into the lost sector but it might have been a followup quest, where sav is (or at least seems) genuinely proud of Luz for making her own choices and walking her own path. It's intensely wholesome

There is one more dialogue in the lost sector as far as I'm aware, where Caiatl was speaking with her, demanding to know what Savathûn and Xivu Arath were up to. There is also one with her and Savathûn, but I personally haven't gotten that one yet.

So that was Luzaku from the Lucent Tales? I always thought that story in particular was interesting but it’s actually the lovable Hive Witch we meet? Dayum that’s cool!

Her interactions with Mithrax that you hear after the lost sector was so interesting, how they bring such a unique perspective to the light

I was genuinely caught by surprised and verbally gave a small shout of glee when she stated to speak announcing her alliance with us. It really cool to have a hive ally for the first time.

savathun speaks with her in the same lost sector and tells her that she’s proud that luzaku has found her own voice and was actually shocked about it. im not entirely sure if it’s a scheme but luzaku wasnt too keen on speaking with her

When I replayed the lost sector I actually got an awesome conversation between Luzuaku AND CAITAL! Hearing them discuss their harsh opinions on Torabatal was awesome

Mara speaking to Luzaku with such matter of fact tone that it almost comes across as respectful at first, only for the line "I am not yet ready to put my emotions aside" I'm not eloquent enough to describe the emotion that gave me

Luzaku has very quickly become one of my favorite characters, I hope we see alot more of her. I think we can certainly trust her and cant wait to see how the potential plot-line of friendly hive guardians unfolds

i love that we finally have an allied lucent hive. before her, we pretty much just had savathun who wasnt an ally but was begrudgingly working alongside us as we have had the same goals of taking down the witness. its nice to finally have one who is in fact our ally, and i think her making her own brood of lucent hive who have def3ected from the ways of savathun would make such an interesting story for an episode and dlcs to come
