Later when Oryx carved the Tablets of Ruin out of flesh from the fallen [[Akka]], he sets one of them in Golgoroth as a rebuttal of Crota's demands to claim it. | ||

When Guardians first enter the room, they will need to spawn Golgoroth. To do this, one must shoot down the orb placed at the center of the room. Once Golgoroth has finished spawning, it will use its Eye Blasts to attack all Guardians in sight and suppress them. Waves of [[Thrall]]s, [[Acolyte]]s and [[Adept]]s will spawn at the left and right sides of the room; kill these to begin the next phase. | When Guardians first enter the room, they will need to spawn Golgoroth.

To get "Golgoroth's Gaze", the tasked Guardian will shoot the giant yellow sack on Golgoroth's back. The Guardian who shot this will now have to shoot the "Ogre's Venom" orbs fired by Golgoroth (three to four depending on difficulty). Whomever gets hit by one of these orbs is poisoned. As this is happening the five others will enter the pool under the orb they destroyed and start shooting the blue spot on Golgoroth's opened chest. At any time a Guardian can hop out, destroy another orb, and take Golgoroth's gaze. This may be repeated as many times as wanted, up to six times per wave. | ||

Once at ~25% of his health, Taken will spawn instead of [[Hive]]. Once six deaths have occurred, the Tablet of Ruin will be completed and all Guardians will be Drained of Light by the Soulsiphon Plinth and then killed. | ||

In Hard Mode, jumping in a Pool of Reclaimed Light becomes a much more dangerous prospect, as one Guardian at random will be inflicted with a debuff called "Unstable Light", where the Guardian detonates, dealing massive damage to others nearby. This allows Golgoroth to cause a team wipe early on in the encounter and also forces Guardians to jump out of the pool sooner than usual. | In Hard Mode, jumping in a Pool of Reclaimed Light becomes a much more dangerous prospect, as one Guardian at random will be inflicted with a debuff called "Unstable Light", where the Guardian detonates, dealing massive damage to others nearby.
