|
| ==History==
| | [[Toland, the Shattered]] was quite interested in her Deathsong, trying to figure out how she could sing it without dying. He speculated that she made herself part of the song, and became death incarnate.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Enemies/Exalted Hive#Ir Yût, the Deathsinger|Ir Yut, the Deathsinger]]</ref> |
| ===First Crota Fireteam===
| |
| {{Quote|The charming Ir Yût made her introductions, and I was very pleased to meet her. We had a conversation, a little tête-à-Yût, a couple old wizards exchanging definitions.

| |
| Encountering Ir Yût and hearing her [[Deathsong]] was the primary reason [[Toland, the Shattered]] joined the [[First Crota Fireteam]] on their quest for Crota. He had been quite interested in the Song for some time, trying to figure out how she could sing it without dying; he speculated that she made herself part of the song and became death incarnate.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Dark Below]] - [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive|Exalted Hive]]: [[Grimoire:Enemies/Exalted Hive#Ir Yût, the Deathsinger|Ir Yut, the Deathsinger]]''</ref> He did not hide his real goal from the fireteam members, openly talking about it with the fellow [[Warlock]] [[Eriana-3]].
| |
| | |
| Toland did achieve his goal and met Ir Yût in the depths of the [[Hellmouth]]. It is unclear how their "tête-à-Yût" actually went, but it resulted in Toland being unsung from his biological form and banished, in some way, to the [[Ascendant Plane|Sea of Screams]].<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] - [[Grimoire:Places/Moon|Moon]]: [[Grimoire:Places/Moon#Ghost Fragment: The Hellmouth|Ghost Fragment: The Hellmouth]]''</ref> Ir Yût is also implied to have killed Eriana-3, as her designate is included on the file preserving the moment of Eriana's death recovered from [[Jax]]'s remains.<ref name="GFEG">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore:Luna's Lost|Luna's Lost]]: [[Lore:Luna's Lost#Ghost Fragment: Eriana-3's Ghost|Ghost Fragment: Eriana's Ghost]]''</ref>

| ===Crota's End and ''The Taken King''===
| |
| {{Quote|Bite deep, through reality, through the illusions of life and death, and eat what you find.|[[Fang of Ir Yût (Adept)]]}}
| |
| Ir Yût resided in the [[Oversoul Throne]], Crota's throne world, at the time of the Guardians' raid on the Hellmouth. She was slain by the Lightbearers, and [[Deathsinger (armor)|armor]] and weapons were fashioned from the spoils.<ref>'''Bungie (2014/9/12)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Crota's End]]''</ref> However, she could be found several months later attending Crota's death ceremony in the mission [[Last Rites]], along with the Daughters of Oryx and a few other Deathsingers. This points to her possibly being an [[Ascendant Hive]], as well as still being alive somewhere, as killing her in the Oversoul Throne wouldn't cause her final death.
| |
| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| ===Destiny===
| |
| Unlike all the other raid bosses before her, Ir Yût will not immediately be actively attacking any [[Guardian]]s. Instead, she will have locked herself inside the room containing [[Crota, Son of Oryx|Crota]]'s summoning crystal. At this time, all players should be focused on killing enemies, namely [[Shrieker]]s. Once they are destroyed, she will activate her special ability.
| |
| | |
| Ir Yût is an especially dangerous wizard, as her special power is the Deathsong, which kills anyone who hears it when it is complete. She will start the song once any Guardians are detected, and they will have three minutes to kill her before she completes it. There will be a countdown for the last 30 seconds of this song, which is when the barrier will be unlocked, allowing the player to unleash all damage on her as possible.
| |
| | |
| ;Challenge Mode
| |
| [[Age of Triumph]] added a Challenge Mode for Ir Yût. To complete it, the players must kill everything in the area (including the Wizards and Shriekers) and then kill her with an [[Ascendant Sword]]. Once the first wave of enemies are killed, a message saying "Ir Yût shrieks in fear" will appear on the bottom left. The fireteam must rush into the open area and kill everything (including Ogres) once more to spawn a [[Swordbearer]]. Once it is killed, a Guardian must pick up the sword and rush back to Ir Yût and kill her with one swipe.
| |
| | |
| ===Destiny 2===
| |
| To start the Deathsinger encounter, players have to simply enter the throne room. They will have to slay a number of foes, including many [[Blistered Knight]]s, and gain access to the crystal room by killing [[Unhallowed Shrieker]]s. From the room, they will have to recover the Chalice of Light, and start filling it to Enlighten themselves.
| |
| | |
| Around the area, there will be seven rooms blocked off by shields that can only be passed through by Enlightened players. In these rooms, [[Shield Singer of Ir Yût]] [[Shrieker]]s and [[Wizard]]s will be present. Players need to identify the rooms containing the Wizards, access them, and slay them. Once the first Wizard is slain, Ir Yût will start singing her Dark Liturgy, which will kill all players in one minute. Soon after all Wizards are slain, Ir Yût's shields will drop and she will be vulnerable.
| |
| | |
| She must be damaged enough to stop the Liturgy, and she will then be vulnerable for an extended period of time. In addition, any Enlightened player can move close to her to Expunge her, dealing damage and weakening her. After enough time passes, Ir Yût will reengage her shields, and the cycle must be repeated, with one additional Shield Singer Wizard. As such, only three cycles can be tried before Ir Yût becomes completely invulnerable.

| *She is mentioned in the book [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquisition of the Damned]]] as one of Crota's most cherished courtiers, and remarked upon having long given up on rebuilding the mythical Choir of Deathsingers - something [[Ir Airâm, Deathsinger|Azavath]] dreamed of and later achieved.<ref name="IX.II: The Unmaking">'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]] - [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned|Inquisition of the Damned]]: [[Lore:Inquisition of the Damned#IX.II: The Unmaking|IX.II: The Unmaking]]''</ref> | | *Despite her being killed in the raid she can still be found in the mission [[Last Rites]] which takes place after the Crota's End raid. This may point to Ir Yût being a title of some sort, rather than a unique Wizard.<ref>'''Bungie (2015-9-15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Last Rites]]''</ref> |
| *Ir Yût is also a character in Calus' prophetic stories, where the Shadows recover her essence from the Ascendant realm, learn the Deathsong from her, and reverse it to bring Toland back to life. However, the writer, Underscribe [[Shipal]], is criticised by other scribes for inaccuracies, paradoxes and misinterpreting Hive sources in this account.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/6/4)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Opulence]] - Item Description: [https://www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/opulent-duelist-gauntlets Opulent Duelist Gauntlets]''</ref>
