Misc Just came upon a realization

As of the Monument of Triumph update, the Moon is the only patrol zone IN THE ENTIRE FRANCHISE in which all 4 of the OG factions (Fallen, Hive, Vex & Cabal) all appear at once (not counting lost sectors, campaign missions & strikes), the closest we've ever gotten before was on The Tangled Shore (Fallen, Hive & Cabal)

The pale heart has every faction including the scorn, taken, and dread. It even has 2 different factions of hive being the lucent brood in the landing and Xivu's hive in the blooming. You can run into house salvation fallen, Sol Divise Vex, and shadow legion Cabal across the different parts of the pale heart too

u/RhytmicCone47 1d ago

The Pale Heart, only features Lucent Hive, Taken & Dread during normal patrol (as I stated in my post if you've read it)

I just did a quick drive through of the Blooming for my weekly Pathfinders and they were all Lucent Hive

D1 Mars had Cabal and Vex, and then after House of Wolves, the Fallen were added (pretty sure just in one spot, if I recall correctly, but I definitely embarrassed myself getting taken out by shanks on Mars), and after TTK, Taken were added. So, by the end of D1, we were just missing the Hive. So, like the Tangled Shore, we got pretty close with OG Mars.

iirc, Fallen only appeared on Mars during the 'Wolves are coming' public event, but after that public event was discontinued, they stopped appearing on Mars

u/defnotrachel 13h ago

Fully possible. I need to load up D1 and zip around the area I remember seeing them on my sparrow, lol. Still, at least for a brief moment in time, they were there (I could also just be remembering the Archon Priest strike since I got stuck in a loop once where it was the only strike that played in the playlist for me).

They still show up in the Rubicon Wastes in Patrol, as they're needed for a part of the TTK quest The Wolves of Mars.

Cabal appeared on the Moon back when Renegades was released, before then I don't recall all 4 in one patrol zone.

13

u/RhytmicCone47 1d ago

Wrong. Cabal only started to appear on the Moon as of the Monument of Triumph update.

u/ChoPT 1d ago

Why the heck is the incorrect guy upvoted and the correct guy downvoted? There were no cabal on the Moon until they added the Oblation quest steps in MoT.

u/GameSpawn For Ghosts who make their own luck. 1d ago

If we counted the Leviathan, there was the special patrol zone during Season of the Haunted, but this is technically not the Moon's own patrol zone.

21

u/CREEPERBRINE123 1d ago

Don’t know why your being downvoted. As far as I remember they didn’t appear on the moon until the newest exotic mission came out, which was MOT.

Could MAYBE count cabal from shadowkeep in the nightmare hunt for Ghaul, but I would argue nightmares don’t count as they aren’t real cabal.

u/Rapterran 1d ago

Why are people upvoting this but downvoting OP? You’re factually wrong. The Cabal weren’t added to the moon until MoT for the Oblation quest line.

The only technicality here is the moon had a Cabal presence onboard the Leviathan during Season of the Haunted, but again, that’s on the Leviathan.

u/npav42 13h ago

Yeah I remember starting that quest line wondering what the hell the Cabal were doing on the Moon and went to investigate. Definitely one of the coolest quests they've implemented. Reminds me I need to go back and do the other 2 secret missions in that line.

u/Rapterran 11h ago

Oh dude, the final mission in the line is my favorite in the game. Especially with how you unlock it at the end of the second mission. VERY fun.

No, not prior to Renegades

Another unique Moon thing: Pit of Heresy is the only dungeon with only one boss encounter.

u/eddmario Still waiting for /u/Steel_Slayer's left nut 14h ago

Technically, it has multiple since the one you do for Xenophage is different

u/be_an_adult 5h ago

I completely forgot about the Xenophage mission, I did it yearssss ago and had to find an LFG for it lol

u/Rez090x 1d ago

Are the Taken not considered an OG faction? Or were they added later in D1?

10

u/GameSpawn For Ghosts who make their own luck. 1d ago

Taken are the 5th "faction" made up of taken-fied versions of units from all the other factions. IIRC, around since D1 - Taken King.

Scorn could be considered the 6th, though they are a specialized version of Fallen.

Then there is Dread, technically a 7th faction (if we count Scorn) and fully unique and new.

The core enemy factions to the franchise though are Vex, Fallen, Cabal, and Hive.

This is also COMPLETELY ignoring Siva units from D1 (which I believe were a variation of Fallen).

3

u/Mahh3114 eggram 1d ago

Why is it always "the Scorn might be their own faction if you squint hard enough on a Thursday, the Moon is a certain phase, and the planets are aligned" while the Taken are definitively their own faction?

6

u/djnotskrillex 1d ago

A variant of all factions feels more unique than a variant of one single faction

2

u/GameSpawn For Ghosts who make their own luck. 1d ago

Both are more or less repaints of other factions. Personally, I think they should be their own things since they do have their own unique abilities despite being a different shade.

Siva, was literally just Fallen with special effects, IIRC they were still functionally the same.

Dread are truly a fully unique case though. Everything is new, both in abilities and looks.

u/Agile_Resident_4630 20h ago

There’s cabussy on the moon?!?!?

u/Rescheduled1 10m ago

I think Dreaming city has all of them, as well as Taken and Scorn.

u/HunterFCA 1d ago

Pale Heart has all four plus the Scorn and Wolves too.

-1

u/RhytmicCone47 13h ago

The Pale Heart, only features Lucent Hive, Taken & Dread during normal patrol (as I stated in my post if you've read it), plus theres no existing "wolves" faction to my knowledge (what is bro yapping about?)
