Leviathan-Eater, Bane of the Ammonites (formerly known as Ir Uulxal) is a Knight and the most powerful champion of the Hive God Xivu Arath in her brood. Known for killing the Leviathan that once graced the Ammonites, he would later be tasked with stealing the tithes to Eris Morn and to kill the Guardian in the process.

Biography

Once known as the Knight Ir Uulxal, the Knight was present during the Hive's war against the Ammonites, which climaxed in a final confrontation to escape Fundament's atmosphere. As the Ammonites' champion Chroma-Admiral Rafriit was cast down by a million sacrificed Hive and subsequently torn to pieces, Xivu Arath commands Ir Uulxal to slaughter the now exposed Leviathan. He would succeed in killing it and devour its flesh; spilling its massive viscera to the Ammonites below. He would be commended by the God of War herself and be renamed to the Leviathan-Eater, earning the title of Bane of the Ammonites.[1]

Recently, Xivu Arath would actively besiege her sister's throne world, attempting to steal the bounty of tithes Savathûn had hoarded in secret for centuries in her oubliette. She would also size up the Guardians tithed towards Eris Morn, whom had recently evolved into the Hive God of Vengeance, and calls upon the Leviathan-Eater to interrupt their tithes and to test their strength against his as a challenge worthy of proving. After a major skirmish, the Leviathan-Eater retreated from the oubliette to prepare for their true confrontation yet to come.[2]

Upon the final tithe to Eris Morn, Xivu Arath would call forth the Leviathan-Eater within the Altar of the Sword to combat them once again. Calling forth hordes of Hive along with a bombardment from Tomb Ships, he would eventually fall at the Guardian's hands and his death would be tithed Eris Morn before her final tithe. [3]

Gameplay

The Leviathan-Eater acts as the final boss of Mission: Conjure. He will first summon two Revenant Knights wielding Cleavers and Hive Shields, two Blistered Knights wielding Cleavers and a Warmonger Knight. He will teleport into the arena right on top of the Warmonger Knight, killing it in the process.

The Leviathan-Eater will appear with its Cleaver embedded into the ground and will stand up along with its summoned Knights and attack the player. He fights similarly to Zulmak and will stay at a distance while firing Fire Blasts as his Revenant and Blistered Knights fight for close combat. He will occasionally unleash a Sunspot on the ground, forcing the player to be on the move. It fought up close, he will slam his sword onto the ground, knocking the player away from his position.

Upon reaching five sixths of his health, he will summon in groups of Thrall along with more Revenant Knights. Upon reaching two thirds of his health, he will slam his sword into the ground akin to Zulmak activating his wipe mechanic and teleport away.

Trivia

  • Ir Uulxal's appearance is similar to that of Zulmak, but also possesses parts of the Age of Triumph ornaments for the King's Fall Warlock helmet on his crown.
  • There are several bugs affecting the Leviathan-Eater in Mission: Conjure:
    • The Leviathan-Eater may become stuck in his kneeling animation, in which case he will still move around and attack, but appear to be sliding.
    • The Leviathan-Eater may completly lose any AI and just stand near the arena's wall staring at it.
