Her House established a stronghold on [[Europa]] and they secretly rebuilt Taniks in the [[Deep Stone Crypt]], the secret birthplace of the [[Exo]]. Weeks after the defeat of Eramis, the [[Exo Stranger]] enlists a fireteam of Guardians to [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)|secure]] the Crypt from her followers before they could unleash a new army of [[Darkness]]-powered Fallen. After bypassing the Crypt Security, the Crypt AI notes that [[Clarity Control]] was breached by a single unregistered Exo and a single life form of unknown biology and were detected by the Crypt laboratory. There [[Atraks-1, Fallen Exo]] reawakens Taniks from his cryo suspension, who is immediately enraged at the sight of the Guardians. He begins bashing at the laboratory glass to no avail, so he crawls up the glass and leaves the lab. | Her House established a stronghold on [[Europa]] and they secretly rebuilt Taniks in the [[Deep Stone Crypt]], the secret birthplace of the [[Exo]].

Following the destruction of Atraks-1, the Crypt AI initiates its nuclear descent protocol to confine both parties aboard the [[Morning Star]] platform and deorbit it in an attempt to destroy the Crypt. Taniks (now known as '''Taniks, Reborn''') is found hacking control of the Nuclear Contingency Chamber where they would commence a battle, which became further complicated by Taniks causing the nuclear cores to charge prematurely. As the station descended towards the Crypt, the Fallen engaged the Guardians as they attempted to dispose the charging cores and deactivate the nuclear protocol threatening to destroy Europa.

The cores will emit a "Radiation" debuff that can become fatal if the number reaches 10. To prevent this, players are advised to coordinate their radiation levels by passing each other the cores. Failure to deposit the cores in time will also result in them exploding and eliminating the whole fireteam. | The cores will emit a "Radiation" debuff that can become fatal if the number reaches 10.

This requires players to pick up a blue Suppressor augment from the [[Suppressor Vandal]] and allow them to stun Taniks as he glows blue. Players with the augment need to stand beneath one of the three circular [[Security Drone]]s in the room and need to stun him three times by moving to each drone. One is located in the middle, while the other two are elevated on a platform to the left and right. | ||
Taniks will recruit reinforcements such as [[Overload Captain]]s and [[Dark Council Guard]]s to prevent the Guardians from depositing their cores and some players with an augment can become deactivated. This will require them to switch their augment with another player from a yellow augment terminal. After successfully depositing the cores six times, the Crypt AI will deactivate its nuclear protocol and open a hatch in the middle of the room. Players need to traverse the lower hallways of the Rapture to reach an escape pod before the orbital station crashes into Europa. Taniks will mercilessly follow the players and blast them with solar blasts from its [[Molten Welder]]. The escape room will close itself, trapping Taniks outside and the encounter will end when the orbital station crashes. | Taniks will recruit reinforcements such as [[Overload Captain]]s and [[Dark Council Guard]]s to prevent the Guardians from depositing their cores and some players with an augment can become deactivated.

By approaching or shooting the wreckage, Taniks will re-emerge as a powerful monstrosity merged with a Heavy Shank and now known as Taniks, the Abomination. He is capable of flight and immune to damage which allows him to relentlessly blast players with its [[Molten Welder]] and summons Fallen reinforcements in the form of [[Dark Council Guard]]s and [[Vandal]]s that have the Scanner, Suppressor and Operator augments. | By approaching or shooting the wreckage, Taniks will re-emerge as a powerful monstrosity merged with a Heavy Shank and now known as Taniks, the Abomination.

After a short while, Taniks will position himself near one of the three major areas; the spawn area, a site with orange lighting, and another site with blue lighting. There Taniks will expose four nuclear cores from its Shank haul and unleash a purple wave attack called Turbulent Barrage. Players are required to shoot two to four nuclear cores to stop their attack.

Similar to his Reborn encounter, players are required to deposit the nuclear cores into two of the six deposit bins located near the major areas. Each area has two deposit bins and inserting the cores in the wrong bins will lead to instant death. To prevent this, players are required to acquire the Scanner augment by defeating a [[Hacker Vandal]] spawning out the blue area. The Scanner can now guide their team to the correct deposit bins as they will glow yellow. It is advised that they number the bins from one to six either clockwise or anti-clockwise to the starting zone. | Similar to his Reborn encounter, players are required to deposit the nuclear cores into two of the six deposit bins located near the major areas.

However, as players attempt to deposit their cores, Taniks will detain them in a red/purple sphere. This can result in death if players carrying the cores reach a radiation level of 10. To prevent this, players are required to eliminate an [[Operator Vandal]] located near the spawn area and pick up its Operator augment. The Operator can then free their teammates from entrapment by shooting the spheres from outside. | However, as players attempt to deposit their cores, Taniks will detain them in a red/purple sphere.

While approaching the deposit bins, Taniks is capable of turning them offline similar to the previous Descent encounter. Players with the Suppressor augment need to stun Taniks as he glows blue.

Players with the Suppressor augment need to stun Taniks as he glows blue. To gain this, they are required to defeat a [[Suppressor Vandal]] located near the orange site. However, this time, there are three [[Security Drone]]s located in blue, orange, and spawn areas, with nine drones total. The Suppressor needs to pass through three of the drones in any given area. If they suppress Taniks too quickly, a player with a augment such as an Operator can become deactivated. It is recommended for the Suppressor to slow down their gameplay and wait for Taniks to encase players twice before stunning Taniks a final third time. If any players were to have their Augments deactivated, they can transfer it to another player by going to one of the three augment terminals. | ||
