Today I decided to go back and replay the entire Gjallarhorn questline from Rise of Iron.

​

I just wanted to experience it all again.

​

The moment I loaded into the Plaguelands and heard the music, it immediately brought me back to when I first played Destiny as a kid. The atmosphere, the snow, the Iron Lords, the feeling that you were part of something bigger than yourself.

​

I had forgotten how much effort Bungie put into making Gjallarhorn feel legendary. It wasn't just an exotic rocket launcher. It felt like a reward that had a story behind it. Replaying "A Symbol of Honor" and "Beauty in Delivery" reminded me why Rise of Iron remains one of my favourite Destiny expansions.

​

With so much attention on newer content these days, it felt good to spend a few hours revisiting one of Destiny 1's most iconic moments.

​

I ended up turning the entire experience into a tribute video because I wanted to preserve that feeling while it was still fresh.

Went back into Vault of Glass 390 with the team and decided to do a full Atheon run using Queenbreaker’s Bow.

A fun D1 challenge run with friends trying something different from the usual meta loadouts.

Still love coming back to Destiny 1 for stuff like this.

Hope yall enjoy it.

With everything going on around Bungie and Destiny lately, I’ve honestly found myself going back to Destiny 1 more and more.

There’s just something about the atmosphere, the strikes, the raids, the music and the overall feeling of D1 that still hits differently for me even after all these years.

Been replaying old Nightfalls again recently and ended up solo flawlessing The Devil’s Lair earlier today with an Arc Burn Stormcaller build. Forgot how fun Sepiks Prime actually is from back in the day.

I know Destiny 1 will never get major updates again, but I still genuinely enjoy logging on, helping people through raids and keeping the old community active where I can.

Also uploaded the Nightfall run earlier if anyone wants to watch it:
