 The largest change is in the boss fight with Sepiks Perfected. Bungie has introduced a new mechanic that adds some welcome complication to the original bullet-sponge format. Sepiks now sports its own elemental shield, and the player will have to use a special SIVA-fied scorch cannon dropped from a Splicer Captain in order to take it down. You’ll also note the inclusion of the new, strike-specific “Skeleton Key” chests, from which much sought-after loot can now drop.
-Lore-wise, I’m excited to learn more about what it really means to be “Perfected,” which is a moniker we see applied to a host of Fallen Splicer enemies. We know from Bungie’s official copy that the Devil Splicers are “Attempting to become machine gods themselves,” but we’ll have to wait until the 20th to learn whether or not they’ve actually succeeded. That said, the new dialog that accompanies the completion of the strike is tantalizing. What is SIVA, really? Who or what is behind its release? And what will we discover once we brave the Wrath of the Machine?
-“Perfected” or not, the new spliced enemies can still be defeated, and I can’t wait to take them on with the new weapons we’ve been teased. Getting the player to feel “Epic” as all get out has always been one of Destiny’s hallmarks, and it looks as though Rise of Iron will deliver on its promise to make us feel like a true Iron Lord or Lady.
