Brother of [[Crota]], Nokris was disfavored by his father for his physical weakness. To make up for that weakness, Nokris instead honed his mind, learning magic and hoarding knowledge and stories as a different form of Sword Logic to feed his Worm. He devised a plan to prove himself to Oryx by communing with the [[Worm Gods]] as he once did; however, while he succeeded, most of the worms rejected the disfavored son. Only [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]] remained to grant him an audience. Fearing an attack from [[Yul, the Honest Worm]], Xol made a pact with the forgotten child. Nokris traded his heart for some of Xol's power and the secret of necromancy. <ref>'''Bungie (2018/8/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Warmind (expansion)|Warmind]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Wormhusk Crown]]''</ref><ref name="Wormgod Caress" /><ref name="NarPre"/>

===War with The Warmind===

After the deaths of Oryx and Crota, and the end of the [[Red War]], Nokris and his master were awakened when their entrapping ice began to melt; an effect of the [[Traveler]]'s waking. Together, they sought the destruction of the [[Warmind]] [[Rasputin]] for their imprisonment and engaged once more with the Warmind. However, interference came in the form of the [[Guardian]] working with [[Ana Bray]]. Nokris encountered the Guardian during their mission of using a small shard of the Traveler as bait to lure Xol out and destroy him. However, Nokris faced them instead and fought the Guardian in a fierce battle. Despite his power, Nokris was incinerated by the Guardian, having failed to protect Xol from its destruction.

==Gameplay==

Nokris is the boss of the [[Strange Terrain]] mission and is encountered at [[Xol, Will of the Thousands|Xol's]] feeding grounds. He fights primarily by firing Solar blasts at the player and occasionally summoning Hive to assist him. For very third of his health depleted, Nokris will break two of the pillars in the arena and retreat to the gate at the front of the battlefield. Nokris will proceed to shield himself in an immunity shield. To break the shield, the player must find the large green crystal that came out of one of the two pillars Nokris broke, find the recently resurrected [[Ugul Gar Knight]]s, kill them, and throw the dropped relic at one of the crystals and then the next to stun Nokris and take down his shield. In the [[strike]] version of the mission, two crystals will spawn every phase. During the first immunity phase, he will stand still while summoning Hive, during his second phase, he will begin firing darkness blasts at rapid succession, and at his last phase, he will begin moving around the arena, using his Dying Star ability.
