'''Savathûn, Mother Progenitor''' is the "Witch-Queen" of the [[Hive]], and the new controller of the [[Taken]]. | '''Savathûn, Mother Progenitor''' is the "Witch-Queen" of the [[Hive]], and the new controller of the [[Taken]]. | ||
===Origins=== | |||
Savathun was born Sathona, on the planet Fundament. She was one of a short-lived species whose homeworld had crashed into Fundament millions of years earlier, with the shards of the planet forming Fundament's continents. The Osmium Court was one such continent, ruled by the Osmium King, and Sathona was his second-born daughter, older sister to Xi Ro and younger sister to Aurash. The three sisters were tutored by Taox, a sterile Mother, the proto-Hive morph capable of spawning children, which also allowed them to live longer by eating "Mother-jelly" at adulthood. The proto-Hive's harsh lives convinced Sathona at an early age to become a Mother, not because she wanted children or feared dying, but because she wanted to live long enough to have meaning in her life.[2] | |||
However, by the time her father turned ten Fundament years (a lifetime by the standards of their species), he had discovered a dead Worm on the shores of the Osmium Court, which he started tending to as a familiar, and began raving that the Syzygy, a prophesied disaster, would soon occur. While Aurash took her father's warnings to heart, Taox concluded that the King was falling to senility in his old age, and that none of his daughters, which were two years old at the time, could properly rule the Osmium Court and protect it from the Helium Court, a rival kingdom. While acknowledging that Sathona was a brilliant thinker, Taox noted that she could not fight. In desperation, Taox sent a message to the rulers of the Helium Court, the Helium Drinkers, saying that she would help them assassinate the King and his daughters if they installed her as their regent. The Helium Drinkers accepted Taox's proposal and attacked, killing the King but failing to kill his daughters. In the confusion, Sathona managed to steal her father's Worm in their escape. Reaching Aurash's ship, the three sisters made a blood oath to return and take vengeance, with Sathona vowing that she would become a Mother and raise her spawn on the corpses of the Helium Drinkers.[3] | |||
Over the next year, the three sisters sailed the oceans of Fundament. During this time, Sathona began to hear her father's worm speak to her, guiding her to acts that would save the sisters over the year. Finally, the three sisters found a ship they named "the needle", built of high technology, but whose crew had died obscenely after hatching an egg from a creature that they could not recognize. Xi Ro insisted that they sell the ship at the Kaharn Atoll, where the species of Fundament gathered, saying that an auction could raise them enough money to hire mercenaries to fight the Helium Drinkers. However, Sathona told Xi Ro that the ship was worthless. Aurash instead suggested that they repair the ship. With prompting from the Worm, Sathona agreed with Aurash and convinced Xi Ro to repair the ship.[4] | |||
Over the next two years, the sisters repaired the needle, but by this point, the sisters were five years old. Sathona raised her fears that she would soon be too old to eat mother-jelly, and that the sisters would be unable to fulfill their oath. Aurash said that the sisters had to dive beneath the oceans of Fundament, traveling to the planet's core. Xi Ro warned that this was how the crew had died, but Sathona, urged on by the Worm, agreed with Aurash. The sisters took the needle into the deep. They finally reached a point where they could use the ship's sensors on the oceans. To their horror, they discovered that the Syzygy was real, and that Fundament's moons had already aligned. Just then, they were encountered by the Leviathan, a creature long spoken of in proto-Hive myth. The Leviathan warned the sisters that they needed to turn back, or else would unleash disaster upon the universe, saying that they faced a choice between the Light, which offered civilization, and the Darkness, which offered only violence. However, the Leviathan offered no hope to the sisters to avoid the Syzygy. Sathona then revealed the Worm's help to her sisters, and how it urged them to go down. Rejecting the Leviathan's entreaties, the sisters dove into the core.[5] | |||
Reaching the very center of Fundament, the three sisters found the Worm Gods: Akka, Eir, Ur, Xol, and Yul. The Worm Gods offered the three sisters a chance for the proto-Hive to escape Fundament as well as achieve immortality. All they had to do was take the Worms larvae into them as symbiotes and spread them among the proto-Hive. The Worms posed the caveat that the sisters must never cease their natures: Xi Ro must always test her strength, Sathona must always be cunning, and Aurash must always try to understand. The sisters accepted the pact and became the first Hive: Xi Ro took the Knight morph and became Xivu Arath, Sathona took the Mother morph and became Savathûn, and Aurash took the King morph, transforming into a male and became Auryx, the King of the Hive.[6] | |||

Its programming contains a faulty wiring that causes it to be unusually aggressive and erratic towards both allied and enemy forces. It is for this reason that it has been confined to guarding the entrance to the Twisted Realm. | |||

However, its aggressive nature requires constant evasion from players, as its Torch Hammers will fire faster than a normal Minotaur, and when it leaves the middle, it will constantly teleport around the arena when chasing its targets. This can be used to perform powerful flank attacks by following them up with temporal shockwaves, which can deal immense damage in a large radius; this attack can damage multiple targets at once and even knock them back. | ||
Zrygon will initially be immune to all damage. It will open fire with dual Torch Hammers from the center of the arena, occasionally stepping out to chase any [[Guardian]] for a few seconds before returning to the middle. Some Vex reinforcements will assault the raid team on all sides for 60 seconds. Eventually, three [[Major]] [[Hobgoblin]]s with [[Arc]] shields will come out of certain doors. They need to be killed in the right order. In order to determine the order in which they have to be killed, one player must enter a small hidden room by crouching. In this room will be a monitor that will say the order in which to kill the Hobgoblins. They will appear as the number of the doors they came from (ex. 3, 2, 1). If killed in the wrong order or the team takes too long to kill them, Zrygon will expunge the entire raid team, killing everyone. However, if the Hobgoblins are killed in the right order, then the shields will be deactivated. | Zrygon will initially be immune to all damage.

It has its Vex underlings bring it samples of dark matter with which to splice and use then hone it to create powerful resonating energy which could be used to turn planets into something more than [[Machine World]]s. With this level of strength, Vorpaleon can effectively turn planets into the Vex equivalent of hell, creating disastrous time-distorting anomalies to represent the force of the Omega Collective's power; particularly strong anomalies have been said to rewrite entire sections of history in the Vex's image. To safely and finely precision-tune this corruption for later use, it rests within the bowels of the Twisted Realm, barring the path to its darkest region: the Distortion Chamber. | |||

===Overview=== | |||
A distress signal was sent to the Emperor from the Skyburners about their losses. While The Guardian was able to intercept the signal, they were unable to stop it from reaching its target, as was confirmed two years later when Dominus Ghaul and the Red Legion arrived on the scene and singlehandedly invaded The Last City and succeeded. However, with the Legion's leadership withering in the face of Guardian efforts to liberate the Solar System and Ghaul dead, remaining Cabal soldiers called Tho'urgh for reinforcements from the ranks of the Stone Breakers, which have yet to arrive. | |||
With the advent of the rank of Arms Dealer came the aspiring officer [[Bracus Zahn]], an ironmonger who planned to sell the [[Red Legion]] advanced weapons within [[Firebase Airfield]]. However, he was quickly assassinated and was discovered to have no enhanced arsenal of his own. The Stone Breakers followed up with their own Arms Dealer, a field sergeant by the name of Valus Bru'ork. His weapons were Red Legion grade, but also possessed Stone Breaker technology which made him a deadly combatant. With this arsenal, he set out to wreak havoc on the battlefield only to be met by the same Guardians who killed Zahn. | |||

'''Breaker Goliath Tanks''' are a unique [[Goliath Tank]] variant deployed by the [[Forum:Stone Breakers|Stone Breakers]]. Just like its counterpart, it is capable of using its wide arsenal, unusually high mobility and tough armor plating to hammer its enemies at all ranges, but it has been modified to fit the Stone Breakers' purpose as a last-resort military force. | |||
===Gameplay=== | |||
Breaker Goliath Tanks have a more specialized arsenal that their regular counterparts, and so they have been refined to be more dangerous than ever before. | |||
====Nuclear Blast Cannon==== | |||
To start, its main turret is capable of firing nuclear warheads that have a massive blast radius, which leaves a giant radiation cloud upon detonation. Players who enter this radiation cloud will be inflicted with a radiation effect, where they will take heavy and rapid damage over time, be unable to recover their health, and cause them to leave behind a radiation trail that will spread the effect to others. | |||
====Heavy Slug Throwers==== | |||
Breaker Tanks are also equipped with [[Heavy Slug Thrower]]s in place of the standard machine guns. Their rate of fire, accuracy, and damage are akin to that of [[Valus Ta'aurc]]'s, and as such will tear [[Guardian]]s to shreds if they do not evade these guns' line of fire. They will appear in the same places that the standard machine guns usually appear: two on the front and one on the main turret. | |||
====Missile Swarm Launchers==== | |||
Additionally, they are equipped with missile launchers that have a higher rate of fire, ammo count, and muzzle velocity than the regular ones. They will launch up to 12 missiles in the air at once and will track their targets incredibly quickly to make short work of them. They will leave a small circle of fire upon detonation. | |||
====Shrapnel Flak Turrets==== | |||
On occasion, flak turrets will launch explosive shells into the air, but when they explode, they will create shrapnel that will indefinitely bounce off of hard surfaces. If these shrapnel fragments ever hit a Guardian, they will deal massive damage and because of the heat and bladed edges they have gathered, they will cause their targets to bleed if it hits directly. | |||
====Extra Weapon Systems==== | |||
Breaker Goliath Tanks come with three extra weapon systems: poison grenades, flamethrowers, and phaser repeaters that function similarly to the Thunderbolt Colossus's Phaser Cannons. The poison grenades that are dispensed will leave a poison cloud upon detonation. This poison cloud will drain the health of its victims and the flamethrowers, with their 50-foot range, will melt Guardians in the blink of an eye. Phaser repeaters will continuously fire high-impact charges at their targets, punching through their health in seconds. | |||
====Additional Features==== | |||
Just like its regular counterpart, they can perform a forward charge while deploying trip mines. This attack remains as deadly as ever because there are two ways to be killed: either from the tank itself acting a battering ram, or the trip mines planted down area denial. However, it has a couple of extra abilities. Using more powerful thrusters, Breaker Goliath Tanks even have limited flight capabilities, allowing them to reach targets that have taken the high ground. When it lands, it will create a massive shockwave that will instantly kill anyone in its radius. In addition, every minute or so, they will mark the position of a random Guardian via tracking device, summoning all Cabal in the vicinity to go after that Guardian. In order to avoid this debuff you must break line of sight with the tank. Every so often, it will deploy a trapping device on one Guardian at random, detaining them and draining them of their health. These trappers must be destroyed to break free. | |||
====Weaknesses==== | |||
Fortunately, these tanks, as tough as they are, are not invincible. Their thrusters are still a weak point and take bonus damage. In fact, it is crucial to set all of the thrusters on fire so that the tank cannot use its flight capabilities. In addition, a select few of their weapon systems can be destroyed if they take enough damage. | |||

===Overview=== | |||
Kraviks started out as a high-ranking [[Baron]] who served as [[Raksil, Archon Priest|Raksil]]'s bodyguard during the Experimental Treatment crisis. Raksil appeared in the Enhance World Quest as a boss for the Experimental Treatment mission. In the European Dead Zone, Raksil, Archon Priest and the Prime Servitor, Serkuleks, the Fount, were responsible for distributing an enhanced variety of ether by using modified Cabal technology. This would strengthen the Fallen into a class known as Empyrean, but the efforts of Raksil would later be put to a halt by the Guardians. | |||
With the death of Raksil, Kraviks fell into the rank of Archon Rising. He was called in for a ritual for the joining of his enhanced ether dosage with a corrupted sample of SIVA. He turned into a towering, twisted monster with his flesh pulsating with nanite burns and his gaze became entirely machinated. Kraviks finally saw the world the way he had always wanted to see it. Soon after, he raided the [[European Dead Zone]] for remnant ether samples in an act of insanity. His frenzied temperament made him something else entirely; anything that caught his sight would be overwhelmed by feedback. Eventually, he was returned to [[Site 6]] to guard the Dusk Splicers' rituals under the order of Thralkis, Kell Prime. From here on out, Kraviks served as the Prime Archon of the Dusk Splicers. | |||

Serkuleks appeared as the final boss of the Enhance World Quest for the [[Experimental Treatment]] mission. In the European Dead Zone, [[Raksil, Archon Priest]] and Serkuleks, the Fount were responsible for distributing an enhanced variety of ether that strengthened the Fallen which is later put to a halt by the [[Guardian]]s. However, with the SIVA samples recovered from [[Exodus Black]], the Dusk Splicers resurrected Serkuleks and reprogrammed it with enhanced weapons, abilities, and defenses. Due to the immense power it held, the Serkuleks Perfected project was put on hold until Kraviks, Archon Prime was under attack by a fireteam of Guardians. Serkuleks was then turned back online to watch over the Dusk Splicers' den and remain on high alert for the intruding fireteam. Its power could only reach its peak when consuming large portions of ether, particularly from strong, high-ranking Dusk Splicer members such as [[Archon]]s or [[Baron]]s. At maximum power, Serkuleks could singlehandedly take on a force as large as the [[Iron Lords]] encountered in [[Site 6]]. | |||

===Overview=== | |||
Thralkis previously served as a guard for [[Serkuleks, the Fount]]. He was so zealously protective of it, he would lead counter assaults on Guardian efforts to neutralize the production of their enhanced ether. However, because of his preoccupation with the Guardians, he failed to notice one of them shut Serkuleks down. Karnix, Dusk Archon demoted him from a [[Baron]] to a [[Vandal]] by feeding on some of his enhanced ether shortly before chaining him to a wall of spikes as a form of torture. He remained tortured for several days and his wounds became infected. But, using his incredible strength, he broke free of the chains and gone rabid, tearing off Karnix's lower arms with his sharp teeth, who later had to run off in fear of ever encountering Thralkis again. His infection had given him increased physical strength and aggression, the kind unseen in other Fallen. | |||
He could then continue his rampant ways by attacking both civilians and Guardians of the [[Last City]] alike; he was practically a wild animal that couldn't be controlled for months. After the infection partially wore off, Thralkis regained his cognitive skills and could finally become a functioning member of the upper echelon of the Dusk Splicers. His ritual replaced most of his natural muscle mass with hardened SIVA strains, and his brain was connected to the rest of his body via nanites which protruded his skin in several regions in his body, effectively causing him to bleed. To contain this hemorrhaging, he donned a heavy SIVA exoskeleton with external weapon systems and extra appendages, enabling him to wield multiple weapons at once. His scars remained hidden to the rest of the world, and all Guardians could ever look at was a rumbling metallic monstrosity... | |||

===Origins=== | |||
Before he was Taken, Draliks was a [[Baron]] and an elite stealth operative for the [[House of Dusk]]. He used to be one of the most feared assassins, even amongst his crewmates, due to his tendency to seemingly vanish into nothingness and then ambush his victims from unexpected, almost impossible angles. His training gave him the ability to turn invisible at will and could attract virtually no attention, thus making him a prime candidate for leading spy missions conducted by gangs of [[Marauder]]s. However, one fateful mission, the Taken on Saturn caught on to him, formed a parasitic link to his essence, and brought him to Halkris, who used the power of the Deep to Take his soul and corrupt him beyond mental repair, and even twisted his mind to have a mental consciousness that matched his own. He now lurks deep within a helium mining station, waiting to be called on by Halkris to run a stealth mission to claim any unsuspecting victims. | |||

This encounter will take place in a Darkness Dimension, where health regeneration is greatly limited, ability recharge rates are slowed down, and abilities deal less damage. Halkris will remain immune to all weapon damage throughout the entire fight and fly around the arena attacking with his weapons, flanking the raid team on all sides. Periodically, he will summon circles of black fire on top of all Guardians that will deal damage over time before releasing a detonation that can instantly kill anyone that hasn't gotten out of that respective circle. There will be an onslaught of Viruses from each former race that will appear out of the regular sphere [[Blight]]s, which will inflicted the "Shadow Touched" effect (where sprinting, health regeneration, jumping abilities, and melee abilities are cancelled), but pay special attention to unique [[Major]]s called "Contagions" that come from the domed blights that inflict the "Taken Blight" debuff when inside, where health will periodically be drained. Contagions will remain immune until their respective domed blight is killed, sending them into a backlash for a short time, leaving them vulnerable. Killing them will grant the "Blight Receding" buff, which is needed for killing the regular blights, but leave these alone for now. After all the Contagions are killed, an [[Ultra]] Corrupted Colossus called a "Viral Colossus" will appear. He will be resistant to all damage until all the regular blights are killed in a certain order within a time limit. If the wrong blight is killed or it takes too long to kill a blight before it disappears, then Halkris will inflict all Guardians with a debuff called "Grasp of the King", which will rapidly drain all ability charges. The only to counteract this debuff is for those with the "Blight Receding" buff to deal enough damage to the Viral Colossus before the Corrupted Decree spell is cast, immediately killing the entire party. Once enough damage is dealt to him, the Blight will reappear. Once all the blights are killed in the correct order, they will each leave behind a pool of green energy that allowed for full damage capability against the Colossus for those who stand in them. The longer the Guardians stay in the plate, the more stacks of the "Rising Light" buff they receive, allowing Guardians to deal more damage. However, stepping off the plate will decrease the stacks of the buff. If the buff runs out of stacks, then Halkris will cast the Blighted Light spell against them, immediately killing them. The Colossus must be killed as quickly as possible, or else Halkris will cast the Doxology spell, immediately killing everyone. The only way to counteract this effect is to deal enough damage to the Colossus within these intervals. When the Colossus is killed, the plates become fully empowered. Those who stand on them for long enough will be torn between dimensions, and the plates will disappear. | This encounter will take place in a Darkness Dimension, where health regeneration is greatly limited, ability recharge rates are slowed down, and abilities deal less damage.

When torn between Dimensions, two effects will be applied: the | When torn between Dimensions, two effects will be applied: the "Torn Between Dimensions" buff and the "Viral Dimension" debuff. The buff will grant invisibility from the enemies in the material dimension as well as a damage increase against them, but the debuff will suppress Guardian abilities and reduce resilience, mobility, and recovery values by 100%. Darkness Spheres will also periodically appear in this dimension as well, which will poison and slow anyone that steps inside. When in the Viral Dimension, there will be a series of platforms that form a jumping puzzle which will eventually lead to a large upper platform with a series of monuments: a Fallen sigil, a Hive sword, a Vex spire, and a Cabal insignia. These monuments will be immune to damage and launch a special attack respective to their Corrupted counterpart: the sigil will launch Darkness Bolts, the sword will launch fire tornadoes, the spire will fire Retaliation Swarms, and the insignia will fire Axion Darts. Each monument will remain immune until an elite Corrupted enemy that corresponds to it is killed in each dimension, requiring two to be killed: one in the material realm and the other in the Viral realm. Failure to kill each monument in time will result in a special kind of death on the whole team: the sigil will cast Exsanguination, the sword will cast Searing Torrent, the Spire will cast Prophecy of Doom, and the insignia will cast Bombardment. Once the monuments are destroyed, they will each leave behind a pillar of Light that will transport the inside team back outside to the main arena and gain the "Torrential Light" buff, overturning the effects of the Darkness Dimension and Viral Dimension debuffs and drastically decreasing Super and ability cooldowns. | ||
Back in the main arena, there will be special plates that appear in each corner of the arena. Only those with the buff can stand on them. Standing on it long enough will summon a Shade of Halkris, a smaller, shadowy projection of Halkris himself, except armed with an Infected Blade. Only those with the buff are able to damage the Shade, who can only take damage from abilities and Supers. Once the Shade reaches 50% health, Halkris will cast a plague spell that causes viral particles to appear on the floor that will cause rapid damage over time to those who do not stand on the plates. This plague appears every 20 seconds and lingers for 10 seconds at a time. If the Shade is not killed quickly enough, then a giant Taken rift will appear, and the Shade will retreat inside of it. If this rift is not destroyed quickly enough, then it will collapse, releasing a detonation that will kill the entire team. This rift must be killed quickly to get the Shade to reappear. Once the Shade dies, it will drop a column of Light that will grant the | Back in the main arena, there will be special plates that appear in each corner of the arena.

Halkris will then be vulnerable to damage from Guardian Supers and abilities for 45 seconds. | ||

I now recall for you the struggle between Ghaul and Calus. Ghaul believed that we were able to take the [[Light]] and use it for our own, but paid the price of death, ultimately serving that it can only be granted to those who have been chosen by the [[Traveler]]. Calus believes that by having multiple client species on his side, like he is doing with The [[Risen]], he will be able to effectively expand his empire, but he doesn't realize that any one of his royal clients can turn on him at any moment. I say: do not trifle with power you do not know of, and do not trust someone you are unsure of. Simply disregard their needs and put down any potential opposition.

{{Quote|It appears the wielders of the [[Light]] ask for nothing more than the annihilation of the [[Darkness]]. Little do they know that I maintain the balance between them both, by offerings from the Void. Anyone who disrupts this balance by any means WILL pay the price.| Nezarec|quote}} | |||
'''Nezarec, God of | '''Nezarec, Final God of Pain''' is a malevolent deity who oversees and controls the [[Void]] Dimension. He transcends all known power in the universe and seeks the downfall of all who refuse his offerings of the Void. Nezarec serves as the main boss of the Dusk Tunnel [[Raid]]. | ||

====Main Weapons & Abilities==== | |||
When inside his dome, Nezarec will use one of three weapons. His primary weapon is a heavily modified [[Touch of Malice]] that fires high-velocity rounds which inflict a stacking poison effect, increasing the damage per tick for every shot fired; the weapon's rate of fire and velocity increases each time the poison deals damage. Nezarec's secondary weapon is a modified Black Spindle that fires Void rounds which cause a disorientation effect upon impact, causing [[Guardian]]s' view to blur and swirl, limiting their awareness; if three consecutive shots are landed, the weapon's damage dramatically increases for a short time, allowing it to instantly kill Guardians with one shot. For emergency situations, Nezarec uses a heavily modified [[Truth]] that fires seeking warheads which emit a radiation cloud upon detonation, temporarily inflicting a debuff that drains Guardians' shields and health, causes them to perform different actions than intended, and prevents them from jumping; kills with this weapon increase the warhead's blast radius and velocity as well as the radius of the radiation cloud. When outside the dome, Nezarec employs a one-handed greatblade that, upon a hit, will cause its target to bleed and have their field of view turn red; this blade can also fire energy waves that push Guardians backward upon impact. | When inside his dome, Nezarec will use one of three weapons.

*If ''above the player'', Nezarec will launch a large [[Nova Bomb]] that seeks its target and creates smaller seeker projectiles upon detonating and leaves a highly damaging vortex in its wake. The seeker projectiles temporarily jam the players' equipped weapon upon impact, preventing it from firing. | *If ''above the player'', Nezarec will launch a large [[Nova Bomb]] that seeks its target and creates smaller seeker projectiles upon detonating and leaves a highly damaging vortex in its wake.

As Nezarec sends in waves of [[Forum:The Void|Shadows]] for backup, the player will notice three tall columns with a glyph plate on each. Approaching these pillars will cause it to activate both a concussive blast, that knocks Guardians back, and a sentry gun that fires high-explosive Void darts at a constant rate. These sentries can be temporarily disabled and reactivate after 30 seconds. Each time a turret is disabled, a Shade of Nezarec will appear. | As Nezarec sends in waves of [[Forum:The Void|Shadows]] for backup, the player will notice three tall columns with a glyph plate on each.

Once on the plates, the player will turn invisible and the plates will lift them upwards to another platform, where there will be a horde of Shadows that they need to get past, as there is a chest on the other end of the large upper platform. If physical contact is made, then the horde attacks, and the chest is locked until the horde is defeated. Inside the chest, are three large sparks of lost Light that must be picked up. As the plates carry the Guardians downward, the sparks must be aimed and thrown at Nezarec's dome to break it. As Nezarec's dome is broken, it will grant the whole team the ability to deal Void damage with all of their weapons and abilities, which will help with breaking his energy shield. Removing Nezarec's shield holds him in place, opening him up to damage to 50 seconds. | Once on the plates, the player will turn invisible and the plates will lift them upwards to another platform, where there will be a horde of Shadows that they need to get past, as there is a chest on the other end of the large upper platform.

At 50% health, the arena will change into a gigantic circular arena surrounded with a black dome. Nezarec will no longer be surrounded by a dome, but his energy shield remains, all of his weapons are active, and his attacks and movements are faster. In addition, he gains new attacks based on how many Guardians are surrounding him within a certain radius: | At 50% health, the arena will change into a gigantic circular arena surrounded with a black dome.

Nezarec will be open to damage, although more damage is able to be done through a special mechanic. There will be Void flames lighted up throughout the arena; running through them will grant both a buff that allows for more damage to be dealt to him and his shield as well as a burning debuff. After ten seconds the flame will expire, and if the Guardian does not look away from Nezarec, then Nezarec's gaze will instantly kill them. When his health reaches 25%, he will be able to summon a black hole that will pull Guardians towards it for 10 seconds at a time. This attack will be executed once every 90 seconds and the only way to survive is to run in the opposite direction.

As soon as Nezarec's health reaches 5%, he will cause the ceiling to turn into a black energy and fall on the raid team. Nezarec's shield will drop, and he must be downed quickly, lest they be crushed by the weight of the Void. Once his his health reaches 0.01%, he will vanish from the arena and the black energy will stop falling. Nezarec will return... | ||
