| '''Basilius the Golem''' was a [[Cabal]] [[Colossus]] of the [[Red Legion]] stationed on [[Mars]]. Ordered to head off world by his long deceased [[Valus]], Basilius sought to augment his body to become even stronger and after his arrival on Europa, aspired to become the first of his battalion to become a Cabal [[Exos|Exo]]. He would be one of many aspiring champions seeking to join [[Empress Caiatl]]'s [[War Council]] through the [[Rite of Proving]]. | |

| ==Biography== | | ==Biography== |
| A Colossus with no rank nor title, Basilius was a commander on [[Mars]] and a subordinate to an unnamed [[Valus]]. During his missions on Mars, he grew accustomed to the bitter cold of the Martian wastes. He was ordered by his Valus to head off-world with his subordinates on a reconnaissance mission. Although he disliked such assignments, Basilius avoided being on Mars when it disappeared following the [[Arrival of the Black Fleet|arrival]] of the [[Black Fleet]]. After a failed mission on [[Nessus]], Basilius redirected his cruiser to [[Europa]] after the arrival of [[Empress Caiatl]] in the [[Sol System]] and her announcement that the [[Cabal]] homeworld of [[Torobatl]] had fallen to the [[Hive]]. Despite the [[Fallen]] presence there, Basilius hoped that the [[Psion]]s under his command might find much of use in the [[Humanity|human]] ruins buried beneath the icy surface that he could present to the Empress to earn a place on her [[War Council]] through the [[Rite of Proving]].<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore:From_the_Front#I._The_Hopeful_Legion|From the Front I: The Hopeful Legion]]''</ref>

| Basilius' effort drew the attention of the [[Vanguard]], who dispatched the [[Uldren Sov|Crow]] to trail him.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Weapons|Weapon Lore]]: [[Tarantula]]'' </ref> Learning of his intentions to scavenge [[Golden Age]] and [[Vex]] technology, Lord [[Saladin Forge]] ordered Basilius to be hunted down and killed. Basilius's forces came under assault by the [[Guardian]]s as he led an incursion into the [[Nexus]]. In his haste to find something useful, his forces were cut off from the surface by the Vex. Establishing his command in the [[Well of Infinitude]], Basilius was challenged to the Rite of Proving by the [[Guardian]]s. Faced with either death or dishonor by turning down the challenge, Basilius accepted and faced the [[Lightbearer]]s. Basilius and his soldiers were killed in the confrontation, eliminating another contender for Caiatl's War Council.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Battlegrounds|Battleground]]: [[Battleground: Hailstone|Hailstone]]'' </ref>

| ==Gameplay==
| |
| Basilius is the final boss of the [[Battleground: Hailstone]] activity. Once the fireteam begins the Rite of Proving, he and his troops will join the battle via [[Drop Pod]]. Basilius is unrelenting, moving into a position and staying there to unleash a hail of fire with his [[Heavy Slug Thrower|Power Slug Thrower]], quickly switching targets as soon as one takes cover or dies. Occasionally, he will often open up a volley with his Cluster Missiles to make a target even more vulnerable. When approached up close, Basilius will stop the ground in a Quake, which will engulf his immediate vicinity in [[Solar]] flame. As the fight goes on and his health and troops are depleted, he will call forth increasingly large and powerful waves of Cabal.
| |
| | |
| Every third of his health, Basilius will call forth a [[Shieldbearer Centurion|Shield]][[Shieldbearer Incendior|bearer]] to maintain an immunity shield around himself, requiring the fireteam to eliminate the foe before the battle can continue. Every half of these thirds, he will summon a [[Portable Cabal Shield]], forcing the fireteam in close quarters with him. Correctly handling his reinforcements and striking him while he's alone is the key to bringing the Golem down.
