Grask, the Consumed is a Taken Red Legion Phalanx that serves as the final boss of the Lake of Shadows Strike.

Gameplay

Grask is a large Taken Phalanx, armed with an Arc Slug Rifle and a Cabal Shield. Like others of his kind, Grask is capable of projecting a blast of energy from his shield, which can send Guardians flying into greater dangers. On the perimeter of the battlefield, there is a rising pool of Taken energy which acts as an environmental hazard, as stepping in it will damage the player. There are also certain spots on the wall where repulsion rifts have been attached, which behave just like the shield that Grask uses. Taken runts (phalanxes, psions, etc.) will spawn in the taken energy. Grask can also use his own version of the Shadowshot super, tethering any opponents in its radius, and can quickly teleport short distances to find a good spot to use this ability. So long as his shield isn't raised, he can freely be damaged, provided that the Taken reinforcements are dealt with. However, when Grask's health begins to fall, he will begin teleporting and using his Shadowshot much more rapidly. It is often better to put him down quickly than to try and deal with his reinforcements.

Trivia

• Grask is the first known example of a Taken Red Legion Cabal, suggesting he was Taken at some point after Oryx's death. This implies that another entity, most likely Savathûn, was responsible for Taking Grask.
  • The second and third to be encountered are Val Eralus, the Obedient and Yächaar, Bound to Sedia, in Forsaken and Baurisk, Envoy of Savathûn in Shadowkeep, where it has been largely confirmed that Savathûn has assumed command of the Taken.
