Riksis, Devil Archon

"All of us met Rixis the Archon Slayer again and again and again. It never got old. We incinerated that four-armed bastard once every twenty minutes for five days. Every single time, he fought his way out of a different corner, threatening to make fools out of us in front of two hundred audience members."

- Bungie developers, alluding to Rixis's demo appearances

Rixis the Archon Slayer is a Fallen warrior who leads a group of Fallen in Old Russia. It is believed that he once ruled the House of Devils.

Rixis is a mini-boss in Destiny. He has higher health and attack strength than normal Fallen, and drops rarer weapons such as the Thunderlord. It is recommended that Guardians keep their distance from him, as once stirred he is unpredictably elusive and quick with a wave of power called the "Ultra Smash". Guardians should rely on their class abilities when fighting him, or just avoid him if they want to wait for a later battle.
