{{quote|Careful. The Knight guarding this place? He's an old rival of Oryx and he's no joke. Pretty funny that Savathûn has him guarding Oryx's temple, though.|[[Fynch]]}} | |||
At some unknown point, several years after the Darkblade's death, a Hive Ghost would come across and resurrect Alak-Hul, re-titled as the '''Lightblade'''. Alak-Hul would then join forces with the [[Lucent Brood]] and become a formidable ally. He was tasked by [[Savathûn, the Witch Queen]] to guard a temple commemorating Oryx, which housed a piece of the [[Tablets of Ruin]]. | |||
Assisted by Lightbearing [[Lightblade's Warrior|Warriors]] and normal Knights [[Lightblade's Disciple|Disciples]] as his personal guards, the Temple was well defended. This was until a [[Fireteam]] of Guardians, following a lead from [[Fynch]] about a potential clue from the temple, ran into Alak-Hul, who was away from his post, who then fled back to the temple. Facing off against his Warriors and Disciples, along with hitching a ride on a ferry and evading Scorn to reach the temple, the Fireteam would enter the monument. Gifted with [[Arc]] light powers and guards at his disposal, the Lightblade tried to defend the temple from the Guardians but was slain as a result. However, Alak-Hul's Ghost would escape from the temple, leaving his body behind. | |||

The fight with Alak-Hul will be deep in his cell, so it will be almost pitch black, limiting one's field of vision. He is armed with an axe. He will appear to vanish from existence only to teleport to another position of the arena after taking a certain amount of damage from ranged weapons; if attacked with a [[Super]] or a [[Sword]] he will not vanish or teleport.

He will appear to vanish from existence only to teleport to another position of the arena after taking a certain amount of damage from ranged weapons; if attacked with a [[Super]] or a [[Sword]] he will not vanish or teleport. He will summon waves of [[Thrall]]s at 25% health intervals, with [[Cursed Thrall]]s mixed in at the lower amounts. When on low health, Alak-Hul will become enraged and charge his foes down to cut them to bits. | ||

Alak-Hul will appear multiple times throughout the Lightblade strike before fighting him as the boss. He will first appear near the beginning, at the door of the [[Queen's Bailey]], and then again battling [[Scorn]] in front of the [[Temple of the Navigator]]. Both these times, he will stay back and blast the Guardians and Scorn with Vicious Light, retreating after taking a small amount of damage, or after his minions are killed. | |||
The actual fight against Alak-Hul takes place in a large and spacious room, dedicated to Oryx, his former rival. Soon after the player enters the arena, [[Orbs of Light|Orbs of Power]] will rain down around the arena. Alak-Hul will then slam the ground with his axe as he spawns in the middle, hitting anyone close enough. Alak-Hul will be highly mobile during the fight, chasing the player between the lower and upper floors, as well as the central dais. At range, the Lightblade will blast Arc projectiles towards the player in large and damaging bursts. These have a slight homing capability and can be extremely deadly if the player is caught on a lower level, or in midair. His deadliest attack uses his axe, which he can swing quickly and cause damage over a large area. Such an attack is capable of killing a Guardian with a single strike, even at full health. When Alak-Hul is at 80% health a wave of Thralls will spawn. At 65% and 33% health, the boss will teleport to the central dais and will cease attacking, become invulnerable, and summon ten Cursed Thrall, two Disciples and a Warrior, as well as spawn more Orbs. When the Disciples and Warrior are slain, Alak-Hul will resume the chase. After each invulnerability phase, as well as at 50% health, [[Revenant Knight]]s, Acolytes and Thralls will spawn to attack. When he reaches 50% health, Alak-Hul will lose his helm, causing him to become enraged and chase the players at higher speed and with faster attacks. | |||
In Master and above difficulties of The Lightblade strike, [[Barrier Knight]] Champions will spawn in place of the Revenant Knights. | |||
