Xaras, Greed of Xivu Arath

Xaras, Greed of Xivu Arath is a Taken Chimera that serves Xivu Arath, and is the boss of the Broken Courier Mission. The Chimera will attempt to stop The Guardian from collecting all of the stolen Awoken artifacts, but is killed in the battle.

Gameplay
As players reach the Harbinger's Seclude, they will be guided to the final stolen relic. By recovering it, players will need to prepare themselves for battle, as Xaras will immediately spawn alongside Taken Thrall reinforcements to stop them.

Xaras will continuously fire Void Eversion blasts, and is capable of moving around the arena through flight. It is also highly durable and will summon more reinforcements, now including Taken Phalanxes, as more of its health is depleted.

The Chimera will often attempt to shield itself with Blights, which make it immune to all damage. Players need to shoot these black orbs to continue their offence. Occasionally Xaras will also send three seekers, capable of tracking their targets, similar to the Axion Darts of Taken Centurion, but more powerful. These can be shot to prevent them from impacting the player. Heavy ranged weaponry is recommended to defeat Xaras once and for all.
