Piksis, House Salvation

Piksis, House Salvation was a Fallen Captain of the House of Salvation, and the twin sibling of Sniksis, House Salvation. They are first encountered in The Kell of Darkness Mission, and later returned in the Empire Hunt: The Dark Priestess, where they finally met their end.

Gameplay
Piksis plays a significant role in guarding the entrance to the throne room for Eramis and Kridis. The captain appears in two different missions, but features the same gameplay mechanic in both encounters.

However unlike most Fallen who attack players aggressively on sight, Piksis will ceremoniously stay idle and will not engage the Guardians. They will only attack if they are provoked and will enlist the help of the nearby Wretches to fend off the intruders.

Piksis wields a Shrapnel Launcher and is protected by an Arc Absorption Shield. Successfully killing Piksis will disable the barrier of the throne room and allow players to confront Eramis in The Kell of Darkness, or Yamiks Prime in the Empire Hunt.

Trivia

 * Piksis and their twin, Sniksis, House Salvation, both appear twice in The Kell of Darkness and the Empire Hunt: The Dark Priestess in their same location and abilities. It is unknown if it was intentional or a developer oversight.
