Warning: This article contains a huge amount of spoilers for Destiny 2's The Witch Queen and its raid, Vow of the Disciple. If you haven't played The Witch Queen's story campaign, the "Of Queens and Worms" questline, or the raid itself, you might want to do so before reading further. And if you're confused about The Witch Queen's story, read our explainer first.

Vow of the Disciple isn't just about killing another huge monster. The Witch Queen's raid fundamentally rewrites a huge amount of Destiny 2's story, providing new context about Savathun, the Hive, and the Darkness. In fact, just about everything we thought we knew about the Hive gets rewritten thanks to what we learn in Vow of the Disciple. We also discover a new class of villains who are above the alien races we've been fighting for years, and face down a new villain called Rhulk. As it turns out, this guy has had a massive influence on the world of Destiny 2--despite the fact that we've never even heard of him before.

There's a huge amount of story scattered throughout Vow of the Disciple, but you'll have to seek it out to understand what's going on in the Sunken Pyramid, and why. Here's everything you need to know about the raid, its boss, the Hive, the worm gods, and Savathun's plans.
