After the density phase ends, he can then be damaged, but before this can happen, he will taint all [[Guardian]]s' Light and infect them with SIVA.

Because Skolas has been irrelevant for some time now, and I enjoyed fighting him back in Year 1. Also, [[Taniks Perfected]]. Why can't they do the same to the others? | Because Skolas has been irrelevant for some time now, and I enjoyed fighting him back in Year 1. Also, [[Taniks Perfected]].

Now, if there was another "Skolas-esque" Eliksni that tried to do something similar, then maybe. But the lore says otherwise. | Now, if there was another "Skolas-esque" Eliksni that tried to do something similar, then maybe. But the lore says otherwise. | ||
===True, But...=== | |||
I just happen to not care about the lore at the moment and wanted to have some fun creating something new. I'm only saying what would I think happen if they were able to...somehow. Once again, I know that Taniks was able to be SIVA-fied because he was mostly machine, but I like to focus on gameplay above all else. | |||
===Hmmm...=== | |||
I think I know how the lore can be held to and ''still'' have a Skolas-esque villain -- now, I'm perhaps going a bit crazy here, but ''what if'' Skolas had a son, who had infiltrated the Prison of Elders on the behalf of the Devil Splicers in order to get the drop on the Guardians who killed his father? To accomplish this, he used SIVA to get in and infect as many of the denizens as he could to create an army for the Devils, and thus Variks calls upon us to take him down while in there. | |||
This is starting to get too big for a single Arena mode. Hmm... Maybe this can be a chance to finally explore the entire Prison, and not just the areas we fight in! | |||
===There It Is=== | |||
Right, thank you. You answered the one question I still had about all of this: how and why the Splicers are able to break in. And yes, the Prison could really use an extension. The four rooms we fight in are cool and all, but the premise is a little too simple: an all-out brawl with enemies occasionally with an important objective. Why not have an area that requires one to think before they position themselves instead of having enemies all over the place? | |||
===Bingo=== | |||
As I don't know the full layout of the Archon's Forge, perhaps this could be a resemblance of that? Variks is an Eliksni, after all, and he uses the Prison for the ways of old, trial by combat and all. | |||
