“Shadow of Oryx” is a part of the Taken.
Weapons[edit]
Darkness Blast
Role/Tactics[edit]
The Shadow of Oryx is a dangerous foe. Mostly it will extend its hand out and loose a chain of Void bolts at you. It also gets around the area by teleporting more than anything.
After you have done some damage to the Shadow, it will vanish. You will see some Taken Portals open and a number of Taken Psions will appear from them. The Shadow will not reappear until they have been defeated.
Just before it reappears, it will summon in a number of Taken Psions. Quickly eliminate them to avoid getting swarmed by them. The Shadow will not reappear until most of the Psions have been cleared out. When it does, get some quick hits in. Before long, you will see a notice that "the air around you crackles and burns." Immediately move from your location to the next section of the arena. The Shadow is loosing a powerful area effect. There is a circle that appears to denote the effected area. Get a line of sight once you are safe and start shooting the Shadow.
When you get the Shadow close to death, it will start calling in more Taken Psions and some Vandals. This time, it will start flying around instead of teleporting. Be on guard for its area attack and Void Bolts. As soon as you defeat the Shadow, the Taken will vanish from the area.
