A surge of conversations on forums has ignited interest in Xurโ€™s dialogues with Skolas, adding new dimensions to Destiny lore. Recently, fresh comments highlighted Xur's peculiar movements and hinted at the influence of the Nine on his mind and body.

Xur's Unearthly Movement and Condition

Forum participants have pointed out Xurโ€™s "jerky movements," raising questions about the impact of a damaged body versus how the Nineโ€™s fragments might control him. As one commenter observed, "How much of that can be contributed to a flawed or failing body?" This reflects lingering concern regarding Xur's physical state.

Interestingly, one lore passage suggests that Sjur Eido attacked Xur, leading to his signature limp and unusual movements. "She almost completely crippled him," noted a user. This new context brightens the mystery surrounding his character and behavior.

Fresh Lore Revelations

Additional comments referenced a unique phrase from Xur, which states, "the blood is transformed. The wish is granted. The dust is commingled." This line hints at Xurโ€™s connection to the Nine in a profound way, suggesting that he might embody remnants or "blood" of their essence, along with a cough that indicates a transformation beyond simple dialogue.

Emerging Patterns and Community Sentiment

The ongoing discourse around Xur yields three prominent themes:

  1. Physical Anomalies: Many speculate Xurโ€™s physical quirks stem from past injuries and how they connect to the Nine.

    • "Xurโ€™s jerky movements hint at a troubled existence," one user summarized.

  2. Fragmented Control: His dialogue suggests a lack of control over his own identity, potentially illustrating a divided mind.

    • One fan articulated it well: "Is Xur just talking to himself?"

  3. Complex Consciousness: Fans continue to explore how Xur's sentences reflect an expansive, almost chaotic thinking.

    • A notable comment reads, "The Nine made me aware of my purpose I am comfortable." It reveals a disturbing detachment.

Playersโ€™ reactions blend curiosity with confusion as they dig deeper into Xurโ€™s complex role in the game's lore, eager for clarification.

Key Takeaways

  • ๐ŸŒŒ "Xurโ€™s โ€˜bloodโ€™ connects to the Nine, hinting at deeper lore."

  • ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ "His limp possibly results from Sjur Eidoโ€™s attack."

  • ๐Ÿ’ญ "Xur appears to lack full consciousness in his dialogues."

As players continue to decipher these dialogues, the allure of Destinyโ€™s storyline shows no signs of fading. Xur's intricate characterization fuels excitement for future lore developments.
