"Well, lookit that. Another Taken wants you dead. Shucks. They'll never forget what you did to their king."
— The Drifter

Gameplay[edit]

Main article: Last Wish § Morgeth, the Spirekeeper

After the encounter begins when someone collects a portion of Taken strength, Morgeth will rise and start focusing on the players with its Rotten Surge. It will also call in various Taken for support, including Taken Psions, Taken Ogres, and a special variant of Taken Captains known as the Eye of Riven that will drop Taken Essence when killed, that players can use to clense teammates of the "Taken Enervation" debuff and allow them to move, as well as being able to use it to make Morgeth damagable by shooting them when five Guardians have two stacks of "Taken Strength" each. During the damage phase, Morgeth will launch several Axiom Darts at the Guardians.

Trivia[edit]

  • Morgeth's name is similar to the name of Vorgeth, the Boundless Hunger, as well as Morgath, Lore-Keeper
  • Morgeth is by far the largest Ogre the Guardians have fought.
    • As of now, Morgeth is also one of the largest Taken enemies.
  • Morgeth has a large pulsing mass on its back that grows larger and pulses more as its Taken strength becomes stronger. This is very similar to how the strike boss, Malok, Pride of Oryx's head will pulsate and grow larger as it is damaged more.
