The '''Nightmare of Taniks, the Scarred''' is the [[Nightmare]] form of the infamous [[Fallen]] mercenary and murderer: [[Taniks, the Scarred]]. Recreated with the power of the [[Darkness]] by the [[The Lunar Pyramid|Lunar]] [[Pyramid]], it serves as the Aspect of Isolation.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], , [[Nightmare Hunts]]: [[Nightmare Hunt: Isolation|Isolation]]''</ref><ref>'''Bungie (2019/10/1)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Shadowkeep]], [[Altars of Sorrow]]''</ref>
The '''Nightmare of Taniks, the Scarred''' is the [[Nightmare]] form of the infamous murderer and mercenary, [[Taniks, the Scarred]]. He has now been recreated by the [[Pyramid]], and representing the Essence of Isolation. Guardians must face him in the [[Nightmare Hunts|Nightmare Hunt]] to create a piece of Dreambane Armor to be able to [[Beyond|breach]] the Pyramid.


==Gameplay==
==Overview==
Taniks is one of the Nightmares the player hunts during the campaign of ''[[Shadowkeep]]'', found within the [[Temple of Crota]]. Much like his living counterpart, it will first be encountered in an early area of the Hunt. The Nightmare will fight the player by firing his [[Scorch Cannon]], teleporting around the area, and occasionally getting close for an Ultra Smash, while his Fallen and [[Major]] Nightmare reinforcements join in the fight. Once brought down to a third of his health, the Nightmare will activate his immunity, summon several [[Dreg]]s, [[Vandal]]s and [[Shank]]s with powerful [[Solar]] [[Absorption Shield]]s, and retreat deeper in the area.
Taniks is the third nightmare you hunt during the campaign of [[Shadowkeep]], found within the [[Temple of Crota]] in the room right before the lift that once lead to his ketch, you confront the Nightmare and destroy it. Taniks fights just like how he did back during [[House of Wolves (expansion)|House of Wolves]], but with the Nightmare ability of turning invincible and summoning Nightmare [[Fallen]].


Taniks' Nightmare must be pursued to the area with the lift to the [[Traitor's Ketch]], where he will confront the fireteam with more reinforcements. He will fight much like before, but the smaller arena makes it harder to dodge the explosions of his cannon. At the last third of its health, he will again become immune and summon powerful Nightmare Fallen, which must be killed to make him vulnerable. Deal with the last third of his health, and the Hunt will be over.
==Trivia==
 
*Due to the real Taniks' history of cheating death, and his resurrection during [[Beyond Light]] raid [[Deep Stone Crypt (raid)]], the Nightmare of Taniks is among those that could represent a living enemy, alongside the [[Nightmare of Fikrul, the Fanatic]], whose template has been resurrected multiple times with [[Dark Ether]].
The Nightmare of Taniks will also appear as one of the Final Nightmares fought in the [[Altars of Sorrow]], where he will mostly stand still in front of the Scarlet Keep, pelting the Guardians with his Scorch Cannon.
