Are you a hardcore Destiny 2 player? If you are, chances are you’re not as hardcore and dedicated as Bagel4K, as player has managed to hit the Destiny 2 max power level of 1000! To mark this occasion, Bungie has issued a letter, and a coded message that got decoded by Reddit quite quickly.
Since the release of Shadowkeep, we’ve been watching the community climb in Power as they’ve embraced the Seasonal Artifact to take on the Nightmares of the Moon. The Gate Lord’s Eye provides not only unique perks for players to earn, but additional Power to give Guardians an edge when taking on pinnacle content.
A few among you have been hard on the grind, looking to reach heights in Power that some may only dream of achieving. [I am Savathûn, ravenous!] Last night, Bagel4k was the first to reach Power level 999. [I have set the snare and baited the trap] Following the guidance of a lore piece, they’ve also taken on the Shattered Throne dungeon, solo, in hopes of breaking the curse of the Dreaming City. [Is victory so easy, hero?] The claims made in the “Truth to Power” lore book were ambiguous. Now that they have been put to the test, the curse has yet to be broken… [I am the finality, the reward—I am the true ending]
To our friend Bagel4k,
[This is another gift]
You’ve spent countless hours defeating the enemies of the Last City, steadily increasing your Power to challenge the darkness that is consuming the Dreaming City. [Your strength is my strength] We’ve been watching, alongside the community, as you’ve come to the doorstep of being the first Guardian in Destiny history to have a four-digit Power level. [Your victory is my victory] We are humbled by your dedication, and while this may not have broken the curse… we can say without question that you have become Legend. [My jaws are wide and I am waiting]
Thank you for playing, and we can’t wait to see how high you climb each season.
[The wait is long, but I am ceaseless]
Cheers,

On the Destiny subreddit, user Azoresst posted what the message means:
I am Savathûn, ravenous!
I have set the snare and baited the trap
Is victory so easy, hero?
I am the finality, the reward—I am the true ending
This is another gift
Your strength is my strength
Your victory is my victory
My jaws are wide and I am waiting
The wait is long, but I am ceaseless
I am Savathûn, fulfilled, delighted, expectant.
Yep, it seems the “true ending”of Shadowkeep is that, well, it’s Savathun. Take from that what you will. Congrats, Bagel4K! I gather, this won’t be the last time Bungie will tease gamers with Destiny 2 lore when a new milestone is achieved.
