Taniks Perfected

Taniks Perfected is the remastered variant of Taniks, the Scarred. He was resurrected by the Devil Splicers and both his mind and body have been overtaken by SIVA.

Gameplay
Taniks Perfected is the final boss of the Revisited version of The Shadow Thief Strike. He will already be waiting near the rift to his Ketch fending off Hive reinforcements with his Shock Cannon. Damaging him will force him to enter the rift.

Once onboard his Ketch, he will pound Guardians from afar with his cannon while teleporting around the arena to throw the player's aim off. Once he sustains enough damage, he will teleport away from the arena and summon a Perfected Walker in the next room.

After defeating the Walker, Taniks will reappear and lock down the hallway with his cannon to prevent Guardians from passing through. Damaging him will force him to teleport into the final room. This is where he gains his special mechanic: a SIVA Node-powered immunity shield. Destroying all the SIVA Nodes will remove this shield, allowing Guardians to continue shooting him. This repeats until he is killed.
