Lore
"The Taken King is dead. Yet still his armies writhe and claw at our worlds. Even as you led the assault on the Dreadnaught, a powerful Taken warbeast fled for the safety of the Shrine to Oryx. The would-be Prince Malok works to perfect a dark sorcery. He must be destroyed." - Eris Morn

Mechanics
This boss fight features multiple phases gated by damage inflicted. The boss' method of attack changes with each phase.
- Phase one (Boss HP is above 75%): The boss uses a Hive Boomer to attack. These attacks are functionally identical to those of a Hive Knight.
- Phase two (Boss HP is at 25% - 75%): The boss' attacks will begin to mimic those of a Taken Knight.
- Phase three (Boss HP is below 25%): The boss' attacks will begin to mimic those of a Taken Centurion. Note that five Axion Darts will be summoned with each usage.
In addition, the arena is divided into three sections, each with its own Taken Blight that is re-summoned each time the boss' HP is reduced by 10%. When these Blights reappear, their attendant adds (Taken Psions, Taken Vandals, and Taken Captains) are re-summoned as well. Note that by leaving the Blight in the center safe room intact, Taken Phalanxes will not reappear once they have been killed for the first time.
