Talk:The Great Destroyer

Anyone ever seen that Red vs Blue episode where the computer keeps saying, "The Great Destroyer has arrived, the end is near!"? Think this could be a reference?

Great Destroyer's True Identity?
Could he be Abaddon? The great dwarf was said to erase all records fo his name - this was done with abaddon. D Force 07:40, 19 November 2006 (CST)

I would say the great destroyer is probably menzies the god of destruction


 * That would indicate that the Great Dwarf is simply a stand-in for the Five "True" gods in Dwarven myth. 'Tis possible, but the dwarves are aware that the humans worship a different pantheon, so what would be the point of the seperate religions? --Valentein 19:24, 3 December 2006 (CST)
 * Human culture has many different examples of this behavior. Im not getting into any details. Acglaphotis 19:14, 18 December 2006 (CST)
 * At least some Dwarves worship Dwayna or Grenth, however "the Great Dwarf" could be a term they use for Balthazar due to their taboo against speaking the names of the Great Dwarf and the Great Destroyer. -- Gordon Ecker 22:25, 26 June 2007 (CDT)

The great destroyer and great dwarf are probebly diffrent entities, after all, Anet needs to have more then just three villian-gods (two if you don't count Menzies).--TheDrifter 23:06, 19 January 2007 (CST)

The great destroyer is gwen. Period.
 * lol, fight mutated Gwen level 31 skills: Follow, Annoy, Pick Flowers, Play Flute...and I'm stuck :S Anymore? Torment 20:23, 26 March 2007 (GMT)
 * Everyone will be dead after Play Flute(Or maybe it would be Dance) if it is anything like in prophecies beta--Devils Apprentice 12:36, 31 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Beg for flowers, tapesty shred --[[User:Sigm@|Sig mA

 * No no...you fight the Great Destroyer and then Gwen becomes a god...like Kormir...only scary--SilverCyan 01:14, 13 April 2007 (CDT)

no no no its like this the great destroyer is grenth and the great dwarf is dwayna because that means we can do snow ball fights again cause i really want a candy cane sword i never got one but my second guess is gwen!

It's more likely than the above that both pantheons exist and both races are simply too narrow-minded to believe in the pantheons of the other... --Armond Warblade (talk) 21:21, 1 September 2007 (CDT)


 * Well some Dwarves worship Dwayna or Grenth. -- Gordon Ecker 23:53, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

I don't know who this guy is..
but he sounds badass. I think this may be because I just started playing GW:EN preview weekend and the second quest from going in the fissure in Kamadan is called "the beginning of the end" which is another song off the album Year Zero
 * It could be he is named after the song "The great destroyer" by Nine inch nails... please someone add/check this.. Ty vm xD

Wow
The information added seems rather detailed, so that means someone has ALREADY gotten to the end of the game. That's what, like 14 hours or something? --Gimmethegepgun 16:13, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Yup, and with heroes and henchmen. Shook hands with Droknar afterwards. Yes, that Droknar.
 * Ack spoiler alert! --Gimmethegepgun 16:16, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
 * destroyer is a weaky....no armor merchant, only some ugly weapons (though the axe got the dwarven axe skin) and a great ending video! (though the gw2 enemy is really nothing special ~.~) Madjura 17:06, 31 August 2007 (CDT)

To be completely honest, you could probably finish this in about 12 hours. Aside from completing all the available quests at the sneak peak, me, a friend and 6 heros finished the game in about 9 hours. I'm pretty sure all the Norn stuff wouldn't have take us more than 3. And Spoil Victor is king. - Spectrus T 23:04, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
 * yeah, might as well beat it now while you can. The great destroyer is soooo easy now, but Anet will probably buff him up once they realize this.--11:35, 1 September 2007 (CDT)

Im starting to think this guy isnt the real great destroyer.. People who have seen the ending cinematic will know who I think is..--Yakslappin 13:51, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
 * If that is the case, then it is a really ancient evil, older even than Glint. There is no lore that speaks of an ancient evil creature that was sealed away. My guess is that it comes from a different world from Tyria. It was summoned and fell on Arah when the Scepter of Orr was activated, destroying Orr as it plummeted to earth and plunged deep underground. Both the Asuras and the Great Destroyer were drawn to its immense magical output even in a dormant state ("the thing practically bleeds magic"). It seems to me that the nature of the Scepter of Orr will play a large role in the GW2 story. BftP 14:13, 2 September 2007 (CDT)
