Five years after his death at the hands of the Guardians, Valus Ta'aurc was risen by the necromantic powers of the [[Worm God]] [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]], whose lingering will persisted amongst the [[Taken]] on [[Io]] following his own death. Ta'aurc was then Taken, and became [[Ta'aurc, Aspect of War]]. | Five years after his death at the hands of the Guardians, Valus Ta'aurc was risen by the necromantic powers of the [[Worm God]] [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]], whose lingering will persisted amongst the [[Taken]] on [[Io]] following his own death.

Valus Ta'aurc is infamous for his high health pool, making him a damage sponge even after his [[The Taken King|Taken King]] health nerf. It's best to take the fight slow and clear out the ads that spawn on the higher levels from behind cover from the Valus to make sure that there is as little of a threat while fighting him as possible. If Valus Ta'aurc is nearing death, he will almost perpetually be using his missile barrage, however due to his stubbornness this can be used against him by drawing his attention, then hide behind cover while the missiles hit the terrain while the other teammates finish him off, however be aware he can often change targets mid missile barrage so be near cover just in case along with the fact that the missiles do splash damage, so being right next to the terrain the missiles are hitting is ill-advised. It's best to stay behind it, but a fair distance away just in case. | Valus Ta'aurc is infamous for his high health pool, making him a damage sponge even after his [[The Taken King|Taken King]] health nerf.

===The Whisper=== | |||
He appeared on [[Io]] during the Taken Blight [[Public Event]], together with [[Urzok, Aspect of Hate]] and [[Drevis, Aspect of Darkness]], and needed to be killed in order to start the quest for the [[Whisper of the Worm]]. He also returned as one of the final bosses of the quest, and killing him and all other enemies in the room rewarded the player with the [[Whisper of the Worm]]. | |||

*Valus Ta'aurc's cluster missiles and his ground slam are both named ''Quake'' in his kill-cam.
