Kathok, Roar of Xol is a unique Ultra Knight who appears as one of the weekly rotating final bosses of Escalation Protocol.

Gameplay[edit]

Kathok continuously bombards the player's position with highly-damaging explosive Arc bolts fired from their Boomer, and uses a Fist of Darkness at close range to knock Guardians back a significant distance. They are constantly backed by lesser Hive reinforcements as well as Shriekers, and is surrounded by an immunity shield that can only be shut down by Cleavers that are obtained by killing Severing Knights. Once Kathok's shield breaks, they are vulnerable to all damage for a brief period.

Upon defeat, Kathok has a small chance to reward the IKELOS SMG v1.0.1 submachine gun.

Trivia[edit]

  • Kathok adopts the same mechanic that Ecthar, Sword of Oryx has, in which players need an Ascendant Sword to burn down Ecthar's shield to damage him.
  • Kathok is the name of a religious monastery in China.
  • Some people call this boss "Reverse Crota" due to how they use the same mechanics, but they instead wielded a Boomer and all players were able to use a sword.
