Dominus Ghaul was the main boss of the [[Story]] mission [[Chosen]]. He mainly attacked with a one-handed [[Projection Rifle]] for long-ranged fire and summoned a Quake shockwave when faced up close, but constantly shifted through different [[Light]]-based attacks. The first was the [[Solar]] Slicer, where, like a [[Dawnblade]], he rose up into the air and threw flaming [[Cabal Severus]] at the player, which inflicted a burning effect upon a direct hit. The second was a [[Void]] shield, where he became immune to damage as he charged up the attack shortly before releasing it, creating a giant dome that slowed the player down when trapped inside. The third was [[Arc]] Wrath, where he hurled Arc energy spheres, which left behind a shockwave that dealt damage over time. This constant shift in attacks made Ghaul a dangerous foe.
