'''Val Ca'uor''' is a former [[Val]] who became the de facto leader of the [[Red Legion]] following the death of [[Dominus Ghaul]] during the [[Red War]]. Eight months after Ghaul's death, he ordered a massive [[Red Legion]] fleet to attack the [[Leviathan]], causing [[Emperor Calus]] to request his assassination by a [[Guardian]] raid team. He was subsequently taken down in an unsanctioned raid op by Guardians aboard the Leviathan's spire, marking the apparent end of the Red War. He is the final boss of the [[Spire of Stars]] [[Raid Lair]]. | '''Val Ca'uor''' is a former [[Val]] who became the de facto leader of the [[Red Legion]] following the death of [[Dominus Ghaul]] during the [[Red War]].

In the vacancy that was left behind by Ghaul's death, Val Ca'uor took advantage of the power vacuum and quickly asserted himself as the commander of the Red Legion. After [[Xol, Will of the Thousands]] was [[Will of the Thousands|"defeated"]], Val Ca'uor led a fleet against the [[Leviathan]] in order to kill [[Emperor Calus]] and seize the ship for Red Legion purposes. His forces occupied the Spire of Stars, and they raided the spire and killed many of Calus's troops and commanders. Ca'uor was intercepted at the Celestial Observatory just as he struck down one of Calus's robotic proxies. In the following battle, he was overpowered by the team as they use the Leviathan's defenses to destroy his fleet, killing him in a final showdown afterward. | In the vacancy that was left behind by Ghaul's death, Val Ca'uor took advantage of the power vacuum and quickly asserted himself as the commander of the Red Legion.

Once both ships are destroyed, a new ball will spawn. The fireteam should ideally make their way next to the large, orange window behind Ca'uor, with one player as a designated "quarterback". The quarterback will get the ball, engulf it in the mist, and throw it to a player. The remaining five players will play hot potato, passing the ball as their Greed stacks increase. After the second ball spawns, the teams should divide into two teams of three, and then divide once more into three teams of two when the third ball spawns. The quarterback will take the balls through the mist and pass it to the other players. Finally, the Calus robot behind Ca'uor will rise up, start floating, and raise its hand. Whoever has the balls should throw them at the Calus robot's hand once it turns purple. If successful, Ca'uor's shield will break and he will stagger. | Once both ships are destroyed, a new ball will spawn.

The fireteam should split into two groups and head to the back rooms. Ca'uor will turn and fire missiles at players, but the back rooms will provide a lot of cover. His weak point is the tank on his back, so at least one player must distract Ca'uor. One way to distract him is have a top tree Arcstrider with [[Raiden Flux]] jump up and slam him repeatedly, stunning him and preventing him from launching missiles, as well as leaving his tank open to fire. Another way is to have a Sunbreaker Hammer Strike then activate their Super and hit Ca'uor with it. Warlocks should be in the rooms with Empowering Rift, and everyone firing at him should be using weapons such as [[D.A.R.C.I.]] or [[Whisper of the Worm]]. If he is not taken down in this phase, the fireteam will start a new damage phase. | The fireteam should split into two groups and head to the back rooms.

Gathering the entire team into a [[Dawnblade#Set_7_-_Passive_Path_3:_Attunement_of_Grace|Well of Radiance]] to fire at Ca'uor is also an effective strategy, as the tank is still somewhat visible from the front. If he is not taken down in this phase, the fireteam will start a new damage phase. | ||
Once Ca'uor's health is depleted, eight orbs will be launched across the room. All players must grab an orb each and throw them at Ca'uor to defeat him and complete the encounter. | |||

*Ca'uor's armor and overall build bear a striking resemblance to the Space Marines of the ''Warhammer 40,000'' series. On the other hand, his helmet is more akin to Megatron from the ''Transformers'' film series. | *Ca'uor's armor and overall build bear a striking resemblance to the Space Marines of the ''Warhammer 40,000'' series.

*Instead of possessing a high rank, like [[Primus]] or [[Valus]], Ca'uor possesses a lower rank than both. Likely as a result of Guardian strikes, there is a shortage of Valuses and Primuses within the Red Legion. | *Instead of possessing a high rank, like [[Primus]] or [[Valus]], Ca'uor possesses a lower rank than both.

Despite this, he also evidently is disintegrated by the combined rupture of the psionic jelly and his magma pack. This would mean even if he were transmatted, all the Red Legion would receive is ashes and parts of his armor. | ||
*Calus erroneously refers to Ca'uor as a Valus in the lore text for the [[Turris_Shade#Lore|Turris Shade Helm]]. This may be intentional, as Calus had also forgotten Ca'uor's name. | |||
