Siviks first made contact with the player during the quest mission [[Origin: Nessus]], where The Guardian pinpoints the Kell's Scourge base of operations. However, upon sight, he retreated and instead sends in [[Telksis the Pillager, Kell's Scourge]] to deal with the intrusion and defend the Black Armory caches. After defeating Telksis, the player investigated the Black Armory caches and continued the hunt for Siviks. | Siviks first made contact with the player during the quest mission [[Origin: Nessus]], where The Guardian pinpoints the Kell's Scourge base of operations.

The player next encountered Siviks is in Niobe Labs, where he had to be stopped from opening the Bergusia Forge. He fought the player during the first level, where he opened fire with his [[Molten Welder]], which fires explosive [[Solar]] shrapnel that deals serious damage to Guardian shields from long range in an area of effect, and also would occasionally throw a [[Swarm Grenade]] that functions identically to those used by [[Gunslinger]]s. He was protected by shield drones, which had to be shot at to be able to damage him. After sustaining severe damage, Siviks retreated to the control room and activated the lab's security functions. The player then had to solve a puzzle or be wiped by the [[Fires of Avarice]]. After the puzzle was solved, then the next level began. Siviks sent in more dangerous enemies in bigger numbers, altered the playing space with Ether barriers, and used Splinter Mines to destroy the player. He returned back to the fight during the combat section of the final level using the same tactics as before, but retreated again after the waves have been cleared. | The player next encountered Siviks is in Niobe Labs, where he had to be stopped from opening the Bergusia Forge.

Siviks fought the Guardian once more during their final engagement in the Bergusia Forge, as the last part of the [[Lock and Key]] quest. He once again used his Molten Welder to attack, and his shield drones kept him protected throughout the entire battle. However, one thing to note is that when his health reached 66%, he switched his weapon to a [[Wire Rifle]], which allowed him to hammer the player with long-range precision fire, due to the hard-hitting, fast-traveling [[Arc]] bolt discharged from the weapon. After the player reduced his health to 33%, Siviks switched to a [[Shrapnel Launcher]], which lacks long range stopping power, but can be dangerous to fight against up close due to multiple [[Solar]] shrapnel shots hitting the target at once. He used the Shrapnel Launcher for the rest of the battle. It was recommended for the player to stay in the back and face Siviks from a distance, as this fight became much more dangerous when taking place out in the open unless using powerful close-range attacks. After Siviks was finally defeated, he dropped an artifact that grants the player [[Izanagi's Burden]]. | Siviks fought the Guardian once more during their final engagement in the Bergusia Forge, as the last part of the [[Lock and Key]] quest.
