'''The Devils' Lair''' is a Level 8 [[Strike]] that sends [[Guardian]]s deep into [[The Devils' Lair (location)|the lair]] of the [[Fallen]] [[House of Devils]] to eliminate [[Sepiks Prime]].
'''The Devils' Lair''' is a Level 8 [[Strike]] that sends [[Guardian]]s deep into [[The Devils' Lair (location)|the lair]] of the [[Fallen]] [[House of Devils]] to eliminate [[Sepiks Prime]]. Some [[Hive]] forces are located in this area, fighting the Fallen occupants. Guardians who are not on a Strike cannot reach the Lair itself, as they will be unable to advance any farther than the [[Refinery]].


As the [[Prime Servitor]] of the House of Devils, Sepiks Prime is guarded by some of the Devils' best troops. Guardians on The Devil's Lair strike mission must fight all the way inside the lair and defeat Sepiks in order to smash the House of Devils' morale, and weaken their attacks against the [[Last City]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeDaevD7cEo '''YouTube''' - ''Official Destiny Strike Gameplay: The Devils' Lair'']</ref>

==Sepiks Perfected transcript==
{Loading Screen}
 
*'''[[Shiro-4|SHIRO-4]]''': The House of Devils marked you as public enemy number one after you trashed their Prime Servitor, but your old friend Sepiks Prime is back, and better than ever thanks to the Devil Splicers and SIVA. Zavala's not too happy about the idea of the Splicers playing god-maker, and I can't blame him.
 
*'''[[Ghost|GHOST]]''': So what you're saying is it's time we return to the scene of the crime! I'm sure the Fallen will be happy to see us.
 
{Gameplay}
 
*'''SHIRO''': The new and improved Sepiks is holed up in the Devils' Lair. You know what to do.
 
The fireteam heads inside the building.
 
*'''GHOST''': Hmm. The Hive are still holding ground in the Refinery, but I'm also tracking multiple SIVA energy signatures.
The fireteam reaches the Refinery. A large portion of the wall in the hallway has been cut out.
 
*'''GHOST''': Well, that's new.
 
Either the hole is open and the hallway gate is locked, or the hole is blocked by a laser grid and the hallway gate is open. The fireteam continues deeper into the refinery and eliminates all Fallen and Hive in the area.
 
*'''GHOST''': The Splicers have a laser grid blocking the way. I should be able to disable it. In the meantime, do not touch the lasers, and watch my back.
 
Either Fallen or Hive enemies will attack the fireteam. If the enemies are Fallen, then after killing off the first wave:
 
*'''GHOST:''' Halfway through, but we've got major Hive reinforcements inbound! Good luck!
If the enemies are Hive, then after killing off the first wave:
 
*'''GHOST:''' The Splicers really know how to encrypt their systems! But I got this. Halfway through.
 
The fireteam defends against another wave of enemy reinforcements.
 
*'''GHOST:''' Got it! Grid's clear. Let's get out of here.
 
The fireteam moves through the opening and continues to The Blast. If Hive are present:
 
*'''SHIRO:''' Guardian, I've got reports of Hive activity near the Devils' Lair. You seeing anything?
 
GHOST: Uh, yeah. We've definitely got Hive. And apparently they hold a grudge because they're mad. And I think they're letting the Fallen know it.
 
If Fallen are present:
 
*'''GHOST:''' Déjà vu. Me, you, a sea of Devils, and an angry machine-god waiting on the other side. I'd say "lock and load," but I'm sure you already did.
 
The fireteam kills all enemies in the area and continues into the building.
 
*'''GHOST:''' Why would the Splicers rebuild Sepiks? They already have SIVA.
 
*'''SHIRO:''' I can make a guess. Maybe an offer to the other Devils? A show of power? You know, "in SIVA we trust" and "in SIVA, all things are possible"? Get in there and show them that their "god" is nothing but metal and tech.
 
The fireteam enters the Devils' Lair. Sepiks Perfected is protected by a shield and surrounded by Dregs.
 
*'''GHOST:''' Sepiks Perfected, in all his glory.
 
The fireteam eliminates the Dregs, and Sepiks' shield disappears. The fireteam engages Sepiks. After weakening Sepiks a little, it gains an elemental shield. A Captain appears with a matching cannon, and the fireteam kills the Captain, takes its cannon, and fires it at Sepiks to take down his shield. The fireteam repeats this twice more as Sepiks changes to a different elemental shield. Once all three elemental shields have been destroyed, Sepiks becomes permanently vulnerable.


*'''SHIRO:''' Nowhere for Sepiks to run this time!
===Rocketyard===
Players will begin in the Rocketyard, a public area. Ahead of them will be [[Hive]] and [[Fallen]] forces fighting each other; while there are mostly Dregs and Acolytes exchanging fire, there is at least one Knight and one Servitor in the immediate area. Several more enemies are up ahead, including two Knights armed with Boomers in the pond near the entrance to the Refinery. Players can choose to avoid all of these enemies and head directly into the Refinery.


The fireteam destroy Sepiks Perfected.
===Refinery===
'''Objective: Hack the Mesh Generator while defending against 3 enemy waves.'''


*'''SHIRO:''' Sepiks was the Splicers' next big play: present a god for all to worship, then control the flow of ether to control the House.
Upon entering the refinery, players will now be in a [[Darkness Zone]]; from this point on, no other Guardians will appear. After clearing the Refinery of enemies, the players will be prompted by [[Ghost]] to start hacking the [[mesh generator]] in order to proceed. Before activating, a [[Dead Ghost]] can be found in a small room near the entrance to [[The Grottos]] (the Hive spawn in that area). Three waves of enemies will start attacking the guardians; be on the lookout for multiple Stealth Vandals equipped with snipers up in the rafters, as well as on the ground. Multiple high-ranking enemies will start to appear, including several Captains, Wizards, and Naksis. Once all enemies have been dispatched, the mesh generator will be deactivated and players can enter The Blast.


*'''GHOST:''' I guess they didn't factor us into the plan.
===The Blast===
'''Miniboss: Devil Walker'''


*'''SHIRO:''' Any wrench we can throw in their works is a good thing. And Guardian, you make one hell of a wrench.
This large open area contains multiple Fallen enemies, including a single Devil Walker. To proceed, the players must destroy the Walker. While it generally doesn't stray from its position, it has taken up a formidable position at the top of a hill, with multiple Fallen supporting it at the base and sides of the hill. A building in the center provides some cover from the Walker, but there are also a few Vandal snipers in the ruined building to the Walker's right. It is possible to flank it on the left and right edges of the of the area, though there is slightly less cover on the left than on the right. Players should try to take opposite sides of the map so that the Walker has to rotate whenever it is being aggroed, and concentrate all their firepower on one leg at a time.  


{Mission Ends}  <ref>[https://youtu.be/Xrqy4xPbqt0 '''YouTube''' - ''Destiny Strike Gameplay: Sepiks Perfected'']</ref>
It is crucial to be mindful of the Walker's attacks, which are easy enough to avoid if the proper precautions are taken. The missile launcher will charge up before it fires, and the cannon's laser will show where it is being aimed; use both as a signal to retreat to adequate cover. The nose-mounted minigun is easy enough to avoid if a Guardian is sufficiently far away or is moving quickly enough. The bouncing mines can be avoided, though generally they tend to roll down the hill, so it's best not to camp below there. Lastly, the Walker has a short-range melee attack in the form of a shockwave, which it will do every time it gets back up from being staggered, as well as whenever a Guardian gets too close.


==Sepkis Perfected enemies==
If the players didn't bring any ammo consumables, there is a possibility of running out of ammo. Killing the Shanks that the Walker deploys, or any of the Fallen that appear, can yield ammo, but be advised that the Walker may target players out in the open collecting ammo if it isn't currently being distracted. Moreover, even if you kill all the other Fallen enemies, more may appear so long as the Walker is still alive. Before leaving, there is another Dead Ghost to the left of the Walker, up a set of stairs and on a table.

===Bosses===
After defeating the Devil Walker players will now enter the lair proper. Sepiks Prime will be in the center of the area, shielded but immobile. Killing all of the Fallen around Sepiks Prime will cause it to lower its shield and begin attacking. Using the crates for cover will help, but Sepiks will teleport randomly around the area, including behind the Guardians. Furthermore, more waves of Fallen will appear periodically via [[Fallen Skiff|Skiffs]].

*[[Splicer Walker]]

==Sepiks Perfected Unique Loot==
Sepiks Prime has two attacks: one is a Void Blast, similar to normal Servitors except that it can fire three at a time and have a wider blast radius. The second is the Void Beam, a short-range attack that rapidly does damage over time to any target that is close enough. Sepiks' weak spot is its eye, so concentrating fire on it will bring it down more quickly.
*[[Devil's Dawn]]
*[[Sepiks Deposed Bond]]


==Gallery==
The scaffold to the left of the entrance can be climbed and is normally inaccessible to enemies (except for Shanks), so an alternative strategy is to place everyone up there and focus all firepower on Sepiks Prime, killing Shanks when necessary and avoiding potential blasts from reinforcing Skiffs.

==Trivia==
==Walkthrough (''Rise of Iron'' version)==
*The Devils' Lair was one of the few Strikes that was not revamped with the [[The Taken King]] expansion. With the release of [[Rise of Iron]], the Strike was revamped into a brand new Strike accessible at the Light level 320 version and above.
*In [[Destiny 2]], if The Devils’ Lair is in the [[Nightfall]] rotation, the redux Sepiks Perfected theme will play instead of the original theme during the final boss fight.
