This can only be obtained during King's Fall Challenge: Oryx
Fragment XLV[edit]
The time has come to face down the Taken King himself. Again, this is a coordinated activity and it will take a lot of communication to be sure that the team can make it through the encounter. Someone will be Torn Between Dimenions once again. Most of the team will be helping reach their goal while the remainder of the members guard the middle and help with clearing adds and important targets.
Team members will need to assigned numbers so they know which platform to head to. These platforms are the same set up that you were dealing with the Daughters of Oryx. This encounter has the team needing to once again aid a member Torn Between Dimensions navigate the phantom platforms. The first person will be going up onto the platform just before the Guardian torn between dimensions (the Runner) immediately after Oryx has hit it. The second and third Guardians need to be on the next platforms that are counter-clockwise (to the left) from the platform Oryx has hit. This does mean the third person will be diagonal from the first platform. The remaining 2 Guardians will be running "mid". They will be managing the adds in the fight and helping people kill off the Light-Eater Ogres that will be appearing.
To trigger the fight, someone will need to approach the mote of taken energy at the far end of the arena.
This will trigger the mote flying over the ledge and a large number of Thralls rushing toward the group. One person should stand between the last pillars and draw the Thralls over to them. Have someone expend their super and decimate the Thralls to generate Orbs for the other members of your Fireteam. This can help a lot for the Defender Titans to have their Ward of Dawn later in the fight. This will be very helpful for some of the later portions of the fight. After a short while, 2 Taken Knights will appear on the platforms in the far portion of the area. Quickly eliminate them as well.
Now it is time to actually start working on defeating Oryx himself.
The Taken King will move to any of the left or right-hand platforms. Where he slams his fist, as stated earlier, is the starting platform for the Runner Guardian who will be Torn Between Dimensions. Needless to say, be sure that no Guardians are on the top of the platform where Oryx is floating.
Immediately after Oryx slams his fist down on the platform, the Runner and the Guardian with them need to jump up onto the platform. This will start the platforming sequence for the phase. Once again, the Runner will need to be quick and precise in their jumps. The rest of the Guardians nearby the platforms need to jump up onto their platforms and stay there. As soon as the Guardian steps onto their platform a Light-Eater Ogre will emerge from the bile on the ground nearby. Throw a grenade at the Ogre and then quickly kill the Ogre. They will leave behind a sphere of Corrupted Light. Stay on your platform until the Runner has gotten the artifact. They called it out clearly. Once they have, head for the middle.
The Runner will need to successfully navigate the platforms and reach their target mote. They will get the status Brand Claimer. Once they do, they will be able to steal the Aura of Immortality from the Vessel of Oryx below. They need to immediately head to the rest of the team who have gathered in the center of the arena. While this aura is activate and protecting the Guardians, they will not take damage from most sources. Oryx himself will still be able to kill the team though.
With the Aura of Immortality the fireteam needs to pull out their Sniper Rifles, Machine guns and any other decent impact high fire rate weapons. Oryx will start to "Call upon the Darkness". The team needs to start firing on his once his chest/stomach start to glow. If you do not stagger him, his attack will wipe the team. After that, turn your focus onto all the Hive that are shooting at the Fireteam. Ignore the Thralls that are gathering around the team.
When Oryx has regained the favor of the Darkness, have someone use their Super to quickly wipe out the remaining Thralls in the area. Turn to the front and eliminate the Taken Knights that spawn in on the platforms. Oryx will create a sphere that draws Guardians into it. One at a time, 5 members of the fireteam are pulled into the sphere where a Shade of Oryx moves just outside a barrier. Those inside the sphere need to quickly kill the Shade. While inside they will be under the status Darkness Dimension. This will stop the inherent health recover that Guardians enjoy. They need to kill it off before the Shade has time to finish its spell and kill everyone.
Those outside the sphere that Oryx has created have another job. They need to focus their fire on stopping the Thralls and other Taken trying to enter the sphere. This makes it a lot easier for the team inside to focus on their objective of dealing with Oryx. Quickly eliminate the Taken Knights outside the sphere and then focus on the Taken Thralls.
Damaging Oryx[edit]
With Oryx staggered, it is time to do the next thing to hurt him. This, for the challenge, will need to be done on the 4th round of combat against Oryx. Each of the Ogres dropped a sphere of Corrupted Light and the people on the platforms (and one of the middle players) need to rush into the Corrupted Light and stand in its sphere of influence for several seconds. This can only be done on the 4th round. Those in the middle (including the Runner) need to start attacking Oryx to stun him one more time and allow the Light to damage Oryx.
When the light is triggered, a massive and deadly blast of Light will emerge from it. Any Guardians caught in the blast will die. To ensure that everyone can make it back in time, someone on the team needs to give a short countdown for the other guardians to enter the Corrupted Light at about the same time. When the light is triggered, each player's name will be announced on screen. They need to immediately rush back to the Guardian with the Aura of Immortality. This is the only way to survive the resulting blast from the Light.
Killing Oryx[edit]
When Oryx is reduced now to 1% or less, he will make his final stand. The Fireteam needs to turn to where the battle started. The heavy weapons and special weapons need to be pulled out and fired at Oryx. He will be charging up a final spell. The fireteam needs to do enough damage to finish him off before he can finish this spell.
Book of Sadness Entry[edit]
Prey and Sacrifice —
Uttered by Xivu Arath —
God of War —
HARMONY. When the Traveler passed across Harmony, it lied to the orbits of ten worlds. Now they orbit the black hole. The Traveler lied to the accretion disc, so that it would give warm light to these worlds.
THE GIFT MAST. When the Traveler left Harmony, it made a monument out of the black hole’s polar jet. In the jet there is a hollow mast which sings in radiance. This is the Gift Mast and we will devour it, we will eat the Sky out of it, we will snap it like a bone.
THE HARMONY STING. The Harmony have weaponized their dead star. They can stimulate the accretion disc to fire relativistic plasma jets. We will take the Sting. We will use it to burn their worlds. I will grant one temple of tribute to the first Ascendant to kill a world!
ORYX. I will have the Gift Mast to feast on! I will have it first! I am Xivu Arath and all war is my temple. Beware the daughters of Oryx, for they make and unmake with ease.
SAVATHÛN. The Deceitful Sister will be distracted by arcana and the song of the black hole. Treat her broods with contempt.
THE TRAVELER. We chase it and we will devour it. The Deep will rule the cosmos.
THE DRAGONS. Our gods should be ours alone. Their smug freedom is an insult to me. I’d shut them all in cells. Bring them to me!
