He is in a shorefront arena, similar to the arena where [[Dominus Ghaul]] was originally fought, fused with the region of The Silent Cartographer from Halo: Combat Evolved on the far left side of the arena. After Valus Ta'aurc appears, he will fight with his normal abilities, moving up and down the upper section of the arena, until a third of his health is depleted. At that point, he will activate an immunity shield powered by Cabal generators, and summon 12 of [[Xûr's Siegebringer]]s. Once all the glowing enemies are defeated, a [[Thresher]] will appear to bombard the players. Destroying the gunship will make it drop a Dares Core, which must be thrown at the generators to call an orbital bombardment upon them, destroying them. With his shield deactivated, the Dares Champion will resume combat as normal, summoning [[Commander of Eternity]] [[Colossus|Colossi]] and [[Gladiator]]s in addition to his normal reinforcements, and moving around the arena more. Defeating Valus Ta'urc will complete the encounter, and possibly the session of Dares. | ||
