He is the final boss for the Cerberus Vae III Strike, where the Guardians battle against him within his base of operations, an [[Imperial Land Tank]]. He is armed with a Heavy Slug Thrower and Rocket Pods, and is supported by [[Skyburners]] Legionaries, Phalanxes and Psions. <ref>[http://www.destinydb.com/activities/1700321981-cerberus-vae-iii '''Destinydb''': ''Cerberus Vae III'']</ref> His Heavy Slug Thrower fires faster and has higher accuracy than those of standard Colossi, allowing him to suppress Guardians with ease, even at long range. He will continuously fire this weapon to prevent them from moving out of cover. On top of that, he can launch bigger barrages of missiles than a normal Colossus can (up to eleven), and is thus capable of swiftly destroying his targets. Getting too close to Valus Ta'aurc will trigger his "Quake" ability, where he performs a ground stomp that creates a massive shockwave, which is, more often than not, an instant kill.
