Sardok, Eye of Oryx

"Until the Darkness reigns, the Eyes must never close."

- Grimoire description

Sardok, Eye of Oryx is a giant Hive Knight who protects the Shrine of Oryx. As soon as the Guardian breaches the shrine, Sardok is immediately called upon to protect it and draw the Guardian out, but he is eventually defeated, and the shrine is destroyed.

Gameplay
Sardok is far more aggressive than most Knights, using his bright eyes to disorient his opponents to charge in for a devastating Fist of Darkness strike. However, Sardok has a smaller amount of health and a weaker main weapon than other Ultras of his level. To best beat Sardok, it is advised to use the pillars that rise up around the Shrine of Oryx during the fight as cover, and to get higher ground than the Eye of Oryx, making it harder for him to land shots, as well as mitigating his Fist of Darkness. It's also best to not go for criticals against Sardok, as his bright eyes can easily disorient anyone who looks at them. Instead, capitalize on his low health with weapons that do not need critical hits to deal massive damage, such as Rocket Launchers, Fusion Rifles, Shotguns, and Supers, so looking at his head, and therefore eyes, is not needed. High enough damage can kill Sardok even before he calls in reinforcements.
