One of the best vantage points at the beginning of the fight is the ledge directly overlooking the cell, though enemies will occasionally spawn there. Reinforcements typically include Shank swarms, High Servitors, and eventually Stealth Vandals and Captains. The first wave will appear shortly after Aksor, with the Vandals and Captains appearing towards the end of the fight. The key is to take out the reinforcements quickly while maintaining awareness of Aksor's position to avoid getting surprised by his melee attack. | One of the best vantage points at the beginning of the fight is the ledge directly overlooking the cell, though enemies will occasionally spawn there.

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. | |||
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. | |||
