'''Nokris, Shadow Sovereign''' is a powerful [[Hive]] entity. He was first uncovered by a statue on the [[Dreadnaught]], and was met by [[Guardian]]s for the first time in his [[Ascendant Realm]]: the [[Forum:Cloak Dimension|Cloak Dimension]].

==Mechanics==
Nokris is able to be damaged, but like [[Skolas, Kell of Kells|Skolas]], every time he is shot, the word "Resist!" will show up instead of damage numbers, and he will have a lot of defenses that Guardians will have to penetrate through.

===Primary Weapon===
Nokris' personal weapon of choice is the Shadow Blaster, a heavily modified [[Boomer]] that fires the [[Taken Captain]]'s Darkness Bolts, which leave the [[Wizard]]'s poison cloud once it hits an enemy or surface.

===Darkness Weight Phase===
As Nokris sends in Hive reinforcements, his mere presence will cause a mist to appear on the floor that inflicts all Guardians with the Weight of Darkness debuff. There will also be floating Taken mines scattered around the arena that release high-damage pulses with a large radius.

===Monolith Power Sequence===
After all the mines have been detonated, Nokris will raise three monoliths, all of which grant him a specific ability. The left monolith will make him enter a berserker rage, rapidly charging down Guardians to get close enough to use his Fist of Darkness and inflicting the Hunted debuff to mark the player's location. The middle monolith enables him to rapidly fire Axion Darts that inflict the Venom of Nokris upon a successful hit, poisoning Guardians and reversing their ability recharge rates. The right monolith gives Nokris the ability to rain down lightning bolts called Wrath of Nokris that leave pools of Darkness that inflict the Consumption debuff, which disables use of the radar, slows down weapon handling, and causes blindness. These monoliths will be activated in a random order each time.

===Shadow Dome Phase===
After the monoliths have their power drawn from them, Nokris will trap each Guardian in their own Shadow Dome, where they will be forced to fight [[Shrieker]]s on each side. These Shriekers guard a [[Cleaver]] relic that must be used to cut the dome in half to allow escape. These swords are the only way to kill special [[Forum:Keeper of Nokris|Gatekeeper Knight]]s armed with [[Shredder]]s. 

===Darkness Bonds Broken===
There will be glyph plates similar to the [[Warpriest]] encounter that will weaken Nokris. Guardians must capture and guard them from the Knights, which are capable of capturing these plates. Once the Knights have been killed and the plates have been captured, Nokris' Darkness Bonds will be effectively broken and the Weight of Darkness will be removed. This will cause Nokris to put up a gigantic Wall of Darkness around him, which can be destroyed with enough concentrated fire. Guardians will then be able to damage Nokris for 45 seconds.

===Darkness Dimension===
After sustaining damage, Nokris will pull all Guardians into his Darkness Dimension, where health regeneration will be disabled. His Oversoul will activate and can fire gigantic Darkness Blasts that instantly bring a Guardian's health one pixel next to empty upon a successful hit. The Oversoul must be destroyed in 20 seconds before it wipes the entire team.
