Forum:Kaephis, Kell of Hunters

Overview
Kaephis is the Kell of the House of Hunters, a powerful Fallen House that utilizes Vex technology. He commands the his house from his ship, only known as the Ultra Ketch. He personally watches over the Ultra Shank, Vais, Hunter Splicer, Sevis Prime, and his personal Vex pet, Living Gate, Aphix Subjective. He also serves as the final boss of the House of Hunters raid.

Early Life
Kaephis has lived for a long time, since before the Eliksni were even graced by the Great Machine. During his early years he was a hunter, and he was a part of the House of Judgement up until the time of the Whirlwind. When the Great Machine left, Kaephis left the House of Judgement, and built his own house with the intent of restarting the Eliksni civilization without help from the Light. He named his house the House of Hunters after his old occupation.

Gameplay
When players make it to Kaehpis's encounter he starts off in his throne on the Ultra Ketch's bridge. When he stands up he will pull a Shrapnel Launcher off his back and begin fighting the players. Two beams of light will appear next to his throne and Dregs will begin pouring out. Killing 20 dregs from each beam will spawn either Shock Captain, Null Captain or Scorch Captain. Killing one of them drops their cannon. The cannons only have one shot.

On Kaephis's chest and back there will be a triangle that is either blue, purple, or orange, the colours corresponding with the cannons that the Captains drop. The players that do not have cannons must first take out Kaephis's shields before the players with the cannons can fire.The players with the cannons must hit the spots within 15 seconds of each other while the other players work on killing ads that come out of the doors to the bridge.

Once the players fire the cannons at Kaephis he will drop to his knees and hands, and the players have a minute and a half to repeat the process of getting the cannons. This time Kaephis's entire chest will glow a colour that corresponds with a cannon, same as his back. The players with the cannons also must shoot Kaephis within 3 seconds this time. Once Kaephis is hit he will sit up and players will be able to damage him.

The damage phase lasts 20 seconds and every 2 seconds an Oracle will appear somewhere above Kaephis. The players have 5 seconds to destroy the Oracle, or the damage phase will end. It is recommended to have at least one player watching for Oracles during the damage phase. Players will repeat the process until Kaephis is killed.

If the players take too long to kill Kaephis he will teleport out of the room along with his Fallen, and then the room will explode. Also when Kaephis gets down to half-health he will switch weapons to a Scorch Cannon.
