{{Quote|Years ago, [[Taniks, the Scarred|Taniks]] tore the [[Vanguard]] apart over a mere bounty. [[Andal Brask]] was murdered in cold blood, and the [[Hunter]] Vanguard was left without a leader. Taniks would ultimately die on the orders of [[Cayde-6]]. But the scars he left among all [[Guardian]]s would never fully heal. Once again, the [[Pyramid (Luna)|Pyramid]] takes advantage of our collective pain. We will not succumb.|[[Eris Morn]]}}

The '''Nightmare of Taniks, the Scarred''' is the [[Nightmare]] form of the infamous [[Fallen]] mercenary and murderer: [[Taniks, the Scarred]]. Recreated with the power of the [[Darkness]] by the [[The Lunar Pyramid|Lunar]] [[Pyramid]], it serves as the Aspect of Isolation.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], , [[Nightmare Hunts]]: [[Nightmare Hunt: Isolation|Isolation]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Altars of Sorrow]]''</ref>

==Gameplay==
Taniks is one of the Nightmares the player hunts during the campaign of ''[[Shadowkeep]]'', found within the [[Temple of Crota]]. Much like his living counterpart, it will first be encountered in an early area of the Hunt. The Nightmare will fight the player by firing his [[Scorch Cannon]], teleporting around the area, and occasionally getting close for an Ultra Smash, while his Fallen and [[Major]] Nightmare reinforcements join in the fight. Once brought down to a third of his health, the Nightmare will activate his immunity, summon several [[Dreg]]s, [[Vandal]]s and [[Shank]]s with powerful [[Solar]] [[Absorption Shield]]s, and retreat deeper in the area.

Taniks' Nightmare must be pursued to the area with the lift to the [[Traitor's Ketch]], where he will confront the fireteam with more reinforcements. He will fight much like before, but the smaller arena makes it harder to dodge the explosions of his cannon. At the last third of its health, he will again become immune and summon powerful Nightmare Fallen, which must be killed to make him vulnerable. Deal with the last third of his health, and the Hunt will be over.

The Nightmare of Taniks will also appear as one of the Final Nightmares fought in the [[Altars of Sorrow]], where he will mostly stand still in front of the Scarlet Keep, pelting the Guardians with his Scorch Cannon.
==Trivia==
*Due to the real Taniks's history of cheating death, and his resurrection during the [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|Deep Stone Crypt]] [[Raid]]<ref>'''Bungie (2020/11/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Beyond Light]], [[Deep Stone Crypt]]''</ref> in ''[[Beyond Light]]'', this Nightmare is among the few that represent—or in this case, previously represented—a living enemy, alongside the [[Nightmare of the Fanatic]], who has been resurrected multiple times with the power of [[Dark Ether]] and [[Ahamkara]] wish-magic and [[Nightmare of Caiatl, Princess-Imperial]] whose real version is still alive to this day.
