The players who are not holding the cannons need to pick up the SIVA charges that the [[Servitors]] drop after being killed, and throw the charges at the glowing red panels that surround [[Aksis]]. When a cannon is dropped by a player, they receive a debuff called ''Charge Lockout'' that prevents them from picking up a [[SIVA]] charge for 30 seconds. It is therefore vital that one player in every group of two is designated as a cannon user, and the other as a charge thrower. | The players who are not holding the cannons need to pick up the SIVA charges that the [[Servitors]] drop after being killed, and throw the charges at the glowing red panels that surround [[Aksis]].

This phase must be repeated three times: the first time, you need to throw two charges.

After both the first and second phases, many [[Shanks]] will descend to the stage from openings above [[Aksis]]. Focus on killing as many as you can until the adds come again. | ||
Throughout all phases the strategy remains the same, but in the third phase it is up to both cannon bearers and charge runners to call out the positions and elements of [[Servitors]] once the captains have been killed and their guns obtained. When all seven charges have hit the [[SIVA]] containment cores, [[Aksis]] seemingly dies and the encounter ends. | Throughout all phases the strategy remains the same, but in the third phase it is up to both cannon bearers and charge runners to call out the positions and elements of [[Servitors]] once the captains have been killed and their guns obtained.

A chest will spawn in the middle of the room that can contain an artifact or a [[Ghost]] shell. The final encounter begins when players shoot the glowing red square on [[Aksis]]' chest. [[Aksis]] will detach from the wall and fuse his body with a set of mechanical legs, gaining both the ability to teleport and the ability to attack you directly with his own cannon which launches both regular [[Solar]] projectiles and clouds of [[SIVA]] mites that will damage players over time the longer they stand in them. There is a distinctive charging sound before each shot which gives you time to relocate. Be wary of where [[Aksis]] teleports to between the central, left and right platforms (Although the boss can only teleport to 4 different places around the arena, if the boss teleports to where a player is standing, that player dies. Shield yourself from his fire as best as you can, and dispatch the horde of [[Shank]]s that spawn. After a short while, [[Captain]]s will spawn in again, and just like the first phase, it's up to one player on each team to pick up the cannon and destroy the matching [[Servitor]]. | A chest will spawn in the middle of the room that can contain an artifact or a [[Ghost]] shell.

However, here is where things deviate from the first stage - as the [[Captain]]s spawn, three random players will glow blue and receive an Empowered buff. The players with the Empowered buff cannot hold the cannons under a any circumstance, as the ''Charge Lockout'' debuff will cripple your chances of effectively taking down [[Aksis]]' shield and stunning him afterwards. As the assignment is random, players who receive the buff should call out Empowerment, and where you are - if there is more than one player empowered on a certain side, have them swap places to a side that needs them, replacing a player that isn't Empowered. While maintaining positions and clearing [[Shank]]s near the back on the right and left side, and hovering in between back middle and center middle for the center lane, the empowered players are to take the charges the Servitors drop and throw them at Aksis to destroy his shield. Meanwhile, the cannon bearers are to drop their cannons at the middle in front of the stairs. Upon this being done, Aksis will teleport to one of four areas in the room - back right, back left, back middle or center middle.

The nearest empowered player has roughly five seconds to jump on top of Aksis' glowing back and stun him, done by holding '''square''' for Playstation players and '''X''' for Xbox players. This will leave him vulnerable and damage can be done. Empowerment also shifts with each stun and new players are affected - call out Empowerment, where you are, and if any Empowered players are needed on lanes that don't have them, move quickly. Note that this boss is technically a modified [[Fallen Walker]] tank, which means that each of his legs, his chest, and head all have separate hitboxes. Weapons such as [[Rocket launcher]]s with cluster bombs, the [[Dark-Drinker]] [[Exotic]] [[Sword]], and [[Titan (class)]] Thermite grenades are capable of dealing exponentially more damage to [[Aksis, Archon Prime]] than weapons that can only deal damage to a single hitbox because they can hit multiple of them at a time. | ||

[[Aksis]] will do this twice more, and players must maintain their positions, so they can stun him quickly. After the third stun, the longest damage phase begins. After the third phase elapses, [[Aksis]] will trigger critical [[SIVA]] density, which you must avoid by retreating to one of the pillars of light in the back of the room, of which there are four in total. It is imperative that you must all gather on the same platform, as each of them will disappear after being used. This means that the team can do no more than 5 damage phases. | [[Aksis]] will do this twice more, and players must maintain their positions, so they can stun him quickly.

Again, the process needs to be repeated - clear adds continuously, call out and kill your [[Captain]]s fast, have the cannon-bearers call out and eliminate the [[Servitor]]s, have the Empowered players throw the [[SIVA]] charges at [[Aksis]] while holding position around the left, middle and right, and stun him as quickly as possible after he teleports, with players being sure to call out empowerment and where empowered players are needed if there is more than one in a certain area.

Once you whittle [[Aksis]] down to 5% health, he will warp to the middle of the arena where he begins the encounter and initiate a self-destruct sequence in a last-ditch effort to kill you. If sufficient damage is done, [[Aksis]] should fall dead, and you will have conquered the raid. [[Aksis]] will drop loot and there will be another [[SIVA]] cache, and you can get the [[raid]] [[auto rifle]], [[scout rifle]], | Once you whittle [[Aksis]] down to 5% health, he will warp to the middle of the arena where he begins the encounter and initiate a self-destruct sequence in a last-ditch effort to kill you.

In addition, for players who have fulfilled all the prior steps, a passageway will open up below on the back left of the arena, not far from the platform you dropped onto at the start, which leads to a well-hidden [[Exotic]] chest, and the start of the quest for the [[Outbreak Prime]] [[Exotic]] [[Pulse Rifle]]. | ||
