- "Biggest damn Shrieker I've seen in all my lives. Mark my words, something real big and real old is gonna use that thing to lay eyes on this planet."
- — Taeko-3
Savathûn's Song is an Ultra Shrieker that serves as the main boss of the Savathûn's Song Strike in Destiny 2.
Gameplay
Savathun's Song will initially be resting in its crystal casing, where it will be immune to all damage. Breaking the crystal beneath will awake it, shooting down all players in sight with its Void blasts. It will periodically vanish and then teleport just like Alak-Hul, the Darkblade. Its weak spot, the eye, will be open to attack until its health reduced by one-third, where it will retract its protective casing, giving it full immunity. Savathun's Song will only come out to attack again when the Hive reinforcements it summons have been killed. When its health is reduced by another third, it will summon Ogres to make it more difficult to clear the adds. These Ogres are very dangerous and must be killed quickly. After a short while, Savathun's Song will fully shield itself in a Void barrier, except it can attack from the safety of the barrier. The only way to disable this barrier is to insert a Void charge beneath it. This charge must be obtained by killing a Savathun's Handmaiden Wizard. It will then teleport back to the main area and will continue to attack until killed.
