He is in a shorefront arena, similar in make to The Silent Cartographer in Halo: Combat Evolved. When dueling Valus Ta'aurc he will take shelter in a shield upon a third of his health being depleted. You will then kill 12 Seigebreakers, destroy a thresh, and throw a Dares core at the generator allowing you to continue the fight. | ||
While there is not any lore relating to this, as Dares is not completely in the realm of canon. it is worth noting that the area behind him, and the spot the cabal launch from, is a Pyramid Ship shaped piece of Geometry. | |||
