Valus Ta'aurc is a Cabal Colossus boss in Cerberus Vae III strike mission.^[1] Ta'aurc is the commander of the Siege Dancers, though he is a member of the Dust Giants, and is infamous for conquering most of Mars for the Cabal's sprawling empire.

Gameplay

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 Sky Burners Phalanxes and Psions. ^[2] 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. On top of that, he can launch bigger barrages of missiles than a normal Colossus can (up to 11), and is thus capable of swiftly destroying his targets.

Trivia

Valus Ta'aurc is also infamous among the Destiny community for being labeled as a bulletsponge due to his habit of absorbing unrealistically enormous amounts of punishment.
