|
| The '''Locus of Communion''' is a powerful [[Scorn]] [[Ravager]] encountered aboard the [[Glykon Volatus]].
| | ==Gameplay== |
|
| |
|
| ==Biography==
| | Combat-wise, he has same abilities as his [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman|Forsaken]] counterpart, in which he uses his [[flame cauldron]] to run at at you, slamming it to the ground to create a trail of fire etc. However, the area you fight him in is different and includes obstacles of its own. |
| Formerly known as '''Akriis'''<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Captain's Log#ENTRY 9 - Heretical Flesh|Captain's Log: ENTRY 9 - Heretical Flesh]]''</ref>, the Scorn was kidnapped by [[Loyalist]] forces upon the [[Tangled Shore]], alongside many others, and then forced into a connection with the [[Crown of Sorrow]] and the [[Darkness]] anomaly left where [[Mars]] once was.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Mission]]: [[Exotic Quest: Presage]]''</ref> It was the end product of an experiment performed by [[Emperor Calus]] in an attempt to commune with the [[The Witness|Voice in the Darkness]].

|
| After the Glykon plunged into the anomaly and Calus vanished, the Scorn were unleashed upon all survivors, led by the Locus. When [[Qinziq]] burned herself out trying to pull the Glykon back into real space, the Locus was attracted to the area, with only [[Bahr'Toran]] and [[Katabasis]] left to oppose it.<ref>'''Bungie (2021/2/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Chosen]] - [[Lore]]: [[Lore:Captain%27s_Log#ENTRY_10_-_Blood_in_the_Barrel|Captain's Log ENTRY 10 - Blood in the Barrel]]''</ref>
| | The fight starts after you jump down the vent hole to the boiler room-like area, with Locus spawning in right in front of you. You can damage the Locus here until he teleports into the lower floor of the room, which is on fire, and spawn waves of Scorn to fight you. Clearing the enemies will allow you to activate 3 consoles, one on the each end of the room, and one in the middle in a small room, which also is on fire. It is recommended to activate the middle one last, as being too slow will kill you in the room. Once all 3 consoles are activated, the lower floor will cool down, allowing you to jump down from 3 entrances on each end of the room and from the middle across the small room with the coolant console. Once you enter, damage the Locus until a third of his health is gone, after which he restarts the boilers and the lower floor will ignie in flames again, repeating the progress. Do this 2 more times and you defeat him. |

| The Glykon would eventually be spat out by the anomaly, and drift towards the [[Tangled Shore]]. The Locus of Communion remained onboard, and stalked [[The Guardian]] that came to investigate the derelict vessel. Eventually, the Locus of Communion confronted the Guardian, and it was silenced alongside its Scorn. Further excursions aboard the Glykon would unveil more secrets about what had occurred aboard the vessel, as the Locus and its Scorn would continuously return time and time again
| | It is recommended that players take turns to jump down to the lower floor from each side and damage the Locus, as there are Scorn chieftains to back him up, and his attacks can inflict huge damage if you get caught in his fire. The Locus also makes a run for the Guardians the moment he spots them, so hitting him from multiple sides allows you to trick him to split his focus to multiple locations. |

| ==Gameplay== | | ==Trivia== |
| The Locus of Communion is the final boss of the [[Exotic Mission]] [[Presage]]. Its main means of attack is its massive [[Flame Censer]], which can be swung for a [[Solar]] damage attack, slammed into the ground for a Kinetic area melee, or smashed from afar create a long trail of fire. In addition, every time the censer hits the ground or the Locus stays still, its contents will leak, leaving behind more pools of fire. | | *The Locus of Communion bears an exact resemblance to [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman]] in both appearance and abilities. |
| | |
| The battle with the Locus begins on an upper floor, but he teleports away after receiving little damage. He teleported into the lower floor of the room, which is engulfed in extreme heat that quickly kills any [[Guardian]] that enters. To reach the Locus, all its reinforcements must be slain first. Then, three consoles around the room must be activated, with one inside a heated area that can only be resisted for little. Once all three consoles are activated, the lower floor will be cooled down, allowing for the fireteam to jump down from three entrances on each end of the room and from the middle across the small room with the coolant console. The Locus will remain vulnerable until a third of its health is depleted, summoning reinforcements halfway through, after which it restarts the boilers, reheating the lower floor. This process must be repeated twice before the Locus is slain.

| ==Trivia== | | ==Gallery== |
| *The Locus of Communion uses the same character model as [[Reksis Vahn, the Hangman]]; it was even referred to as the "Darkmind Hangman" during the Presage mission's development.
| |
| *The direct damage (not the lingering burn) of the Censer Smash wave attack is coded as [[Void]] despite no visual indication of such.
