| | Ghost is pretty terrible when compared to sexy cortana. |
| A '''Ghost''' is a piece of equipment issued to each [[Guardian]].<ref name= "E3 2013 Gamespot Interview">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Qx3NBtGA5Wc '''YouTube''': ''E3 2013 Gamespot Interview'']</ref> The Ghost serves as the player's companion and aide throughout their journey.
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| Appearing as a small, floating drone,<ref name = "E3 2013 Demo"/> Ghosts were created by the Traveler "with its dying breath", and have spent their time since the [[Collapse]] searching for their guardians. While Ghosts can revive their Guardian from death, Ghosts themselves are irreplaceable. The Ghost serves as a scout, librarian and mechanic, waking ancient machinery and cracking ancient codes.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-6-12)''', ''Destiny: Alpha PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire/Guardian#Ghosts|Ghosts]]''</ref> They seem to possess some degree of artificial intelligence, being able to converse with their masters in a very [[human]] manner.
| |
| | |
| Ghosts can support Guardians by performing certain actions such as illuminating darkened areas, repairing technology from the [[Golden Age]], informing Guardians of incoming hostile threats,<ref name = "E3 2013 Demo"/> and providing communications.<ref>'''Bungie (2014-7-17)''', ''Destiny: Beta PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Calcutta-LR2A]] Weapon Description''</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| | |
| Ghosts inform players of new objectives, and serve as a marker beacon/respawn point when a player's character dies during cooperative play.<ref name="E3 2013 Demo">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXTXPe7JIUk '''Eurogamer''' - ''PS4 E3 2013 Sony Conference'']</ref> Ghosts notify players when a Guardian has left the area or revived. A Ghost can revive a player by holding the X button on the Xbox 360/Xbox 1, or the square button on the Playstation 3/4. This can only be done in close proximity to a fallen player.
| |
| | |
| On occasion, Ghosts can scan certain objects and provide additional context to the Guardian. For example, scanning a dead [[Cabal]] on [[Phobos]] will have Ghost describe what legion it's from.
| |
| | |
| ==Ghost Shells==
| |
| ''For more information, see [[Ghost Shells]].''
| |
| | |
| Ghost shells change the appearance of your ghost. ''[[The Taken King]]'' adds defensive boosts and additional effects to ghost shells. Rare shells have a single perk, while legendary shells have several to choose from. Shells can be purchased from [[The Speaker]], the [[Vanguard]]s, or [[Lord Shaxx]].<ref>[http://planetdestiny.com/year-2-stream-analysis/ '''Planet Destiny''': Vault Space Increased, Infusion, & Swords!]</ref>

| |
| *''"This is some great data here. I wonder if Ikora gives hugs to ghosts. Heheh... anyways, nice work."''<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9WLlY1Lw1Y&feature=youtu.be&t=15 '''Youtube''': "I wonder if Ikora hugs Ghosts"]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *It is possible to change the way a player's Ghost looks with [[Ghost Shells]].
| |
| *Ghosts were sometimes called "Dinklebots" by players, as a nod to [[Peter Dinklage]],<ref>[http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/15375/article/destiny-to-feature-the-voice-talents-of-peter-dinklage-a-k-a-tyrion-lannister/ '''Gameranx''': ''Destiny to Feature the Voice Talents of Peter Dinklage A.K.A. Tyrion Lannister'']</ref> who provided their voice in the game. As of ''[[The Taken King]]'', [[wikipedia:Nolan North|Nolan North]] replaced Dinklage as Ghost's voice actor and redubbed lines from the original ''Destiny'' game.<ref>[http://planetdestiny.com/taken-king-gameinformer-review/ '''Planet Destiny''': Expanding & Leaving the Old Behind]</ref> Players have started to call this new Ghost "Nolandroid", though Nolan North himself prefers "Nolanbot".<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PpJOtqav68 '''YouTube''' - ''Eurogamer: We ask Destiny's Nolan North: Is it Northbot or Nolandroid?'']</ref>
| |
| *It was indicated pre-release that players need certain equipment before having access to a Ghost.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/7_The-Storm-and-the-Mail-Sack/en/News/News?aid=11052 '''Bungie.net''': ''The Storm and the Mail Sack'']</ref> This is currently not the case, as the Ghost is present with the player from the start of the game in current builds (having revived them).<ref name = "Beta">'''Bungie (2014-7-17)''', ''Destiny: Beta PlayStation 4, Activision Blizzard.''</ref>
| |
| *Holding out a Ghost in some sections of the [[Moon]] opens doors. However, they are pitch black inside.
| |
| *Ghosts may be deactivated and revived.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/272oxj/game_master_july_2014_destiny_cover_issue/ '''Destiny the Game''': ''Game Master July 2014 Destiny Cover Issue & PlayStation UK Magazine June 2014 Destiny Hands-on: Breakdown'']</ref>
| |
| *The Ghost's saying "We always visit such cheerful places" is a possible reference to [[Halopedia:Cortana|Cortana]]'s line in [[Halopedia:Halo 2|Halo 2]] on the level [[Halopedia:Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]], saying: "We always visit such nice places".
| |
| *Dead Ghosts can be found in the game world which, upon revival, unlock new [[Grimoire]] cards.
| |
| *According to an advertisement for ''Destiny'', Ghosts existed during the [[Golden Age]].<ref>[http://links.ebw.ebgames.com.au/servlet/MailView?ms=NDY0OTAzNjIS1&r=NTEwODkzNjQxNzMS1&j=NDgyMzI4MDQ4S0&mt=1&rt=0 '''EB World''' - ''The New Frontier awaits'']</ref> This is likely an error as all other sources have stated that Ghosts were created by the Traveler after the Golden Age.
| |
| *The Ghost was depicted as taking part in the [[Wikipedia:Ice Bucket Challenge|Ice Bucket Challenge]] in a short video by [[Bungie]], which donated to the campaign.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_eAS1RiJk4 '''YouTube''' - ''That Bucket Came From the Moon'']</ref>
| |
| *Ghosts can apparently choose or be given specific names. The Guardian [[Fenchurch Everis]] refers to his Ghost as "Neville".<ref name="Letters">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oOs2mICsXA&feature=youtu.be&a '''YouTube''' - ''Planet Destiny: Letters From Everis & Emote Preview'']</ref>
| |
| *Ghosts can be referred to as male and female, as Saint-14 referred to his Ghost as a female, and the player's Ghost has a male voice.
