===Walkthrough===
It starts out normally enough. Proceed as normal until you reach the Ash Coves. In the Ash Coves there will be several Taken Blights in your way, with several Taken Minotaurs and Hobgoblins with them; defeat them with your Pikes or ignore and continue your way.
 
====Winter's Run (Taken version)====
'''Boss: Nixis, Hunger of Oryx'''
 
When you arrive the Archon Priest's cell is replaced with a massive Taken Blight that cannot be shot at. Fallen will be fighting with Taken, so it is best to clear them out before engaging the boss himself. Approach it and Nixis, Hunger of Oryx spawns. Like his Fallen counterpart he is a boss version of a Taken Captain with all of its abilities, plus the ability to summon lesser Blights for reinforcements.


Defeating him will be tough as he is more powerful than Aksor. Unlike Askor he tends to hide in the cave portion of the map so it is recommended you have a Nightstalker to tether him where you want and suppress his abilities, particularly the Taken Captain's shadow-blast.
===Boss===
 
*[[Nixis, Hunger of Oryx]]
Taken enemies here are more numerous than their Fallen counterparts, and will need perseverance to defeat them effectively; an awareness of where the Blights are will help prevent the debuff Shadow Touched, which suppresses your abilities. If you're not careful your team can be outflanked and overwhelmed. Like Aksor, the key is to take out reinforcements while damaging Nixis as quickly as possible.

Winter's Run is the first Strike to have the boss be replaced by a Taken variant, depending on the version of the Strike. The second Strike to do this is [[The Nexus]]


Winter's Run is thus far the only Taken version of a Strike that replaces the final boss with a Taken enemy. It is unusual in that it is not Askor who was Taken but another named character.
