| ==Gameplay== | | ==Gameplay== |
| Like any Taken Captain, Keksis is armed with an [[Arc]] [[Shrapnel Launcher]] and can both teleport erratically and rapidly hurl Darkness Bolts that blind Guardians. However, in [[Challenge of the Elders]], they will gain the ability to summon explosives that will temporarily suppress a Guardian's abilities if left unchecked. The explosive will be floating around in the middle of the arena, and players must stand in it and channel its [[Corrupted Light]] to avoid getting the "Suppressed" debuff.

|
| |
| In the Tomb of Elders, Keksis can appear as a boss in the ''Cryocell'' encounter in the [[Tomb of Elders]] when facing the Taken and Dread, emerging from the aforementioned Cryopod after defeating enough enemies. He fights much like other Ultra Taken Captains.
| |
|
| |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Keksis is the only Taken in the entire game whose Grimoire card is conveyed in the first person.
| |
| *Unlike most Taken, Keksis doesn't have a glowing central eye. Their face remains pitch black.
| |
| **With their reappearance in Episode: Revenant, Keksis now has a Taken eye, calling into question whether this was intentional or just an error that was never fixed.
| |
| *In Destiny 1, Keksis is one of the few bosses that doesn't have a slam ability should the player get close.
| |
| *The "many voices" mentioned in Keksis' Grimoire card might reference [[Riven]]'s influence after Oryx's death. If so, this would be the earliest reference to Riven in the Destiny series.
| |
| **The "many voices" Keksis refers to might also be a reference to the [[The Witness|Witness]], whose influence is still very much present, even after the [[Collapse]]. If this is the case, this would be the earliest reference to the Witness in the series.
