Court of Oryx is a Guardian-initiated Public Event in the Hall of Souls on the Dreadnaught that summons an assortment of powerful enemies.

Gameplay

The Court of Oryx can be found at the central dais of the Hall of Souls, where a portal to Oryx, the Taken King's ascendant realm stands; this is the same portal that must be opened at the beginning of the King's Fall Raid.

Players cannot enter the court proper, as the floor is covered in flames. To enter and initiate the event, one of the players must offer a rune to one of the different statues. The rarity of the runes determine the difficulty of the encounter. The summoner then must stay within the Court of Oryx, or else the boss will despawn after 15 seconds.

  • Tier One bosses are level 38 and recommend 190 light level. A single boss encounter will feature a single mechanic to defeat the boss. The time limit is three minutes.
  • Tier Two bosses are level 40 and recommend 240 light level. Two boss encounters are featured at the same time. The time limit is four minutes.
  • Tier Three bosses are close to raid-level difficulty.[1]

Note that for Tier Two bosses, rare Stolen Runes are needed, but they need to be charged up first by defeating three Tier One bosses.

After the boss has been defeated, a chest appears in the middle of the room. The player who sacrificed the runes will get the highest reward, but all players who participated, including those who joined outside the initiating player's fireteam, will receive a reward.[2] The last person to place a rune will be prevented from placing another for 40 seconds, allowing another person to place a rune and initiate the event.

Within the Court, there is a chest directly beneath the main platform that bosses spawn from. It can only be opened with a Key of Gnashing Teeth.

Tier 1 and 2 Bosses

Tier 3 Bosses

The Tier 3 boss rotates every week.

  • Balwûr - A Wizard who constantly casts poison on the whole arena. Killing Acolytes helps create safe zones that the players can stand in.
  • Thalnok, Fanatic of Crota - A giant Knight who is almost identical to Crota. Like Crota, he can only be killed using a sword that appears in the middle of the arena. However, players also need to defeat the wizards and ogres that appear to make him vulnerable.
  • Kagoor - A Taken Wizard that is only vulnerable after its Ogre has been defeated.
