Tsugoth, Gauntlet of Oryx was a Taken Knight who could appear at the very beginning of the Kings of Decay Mission. He led an assault on the Rocketyard of the Cosmodrome, but was killed by the Guardian in a counterattack against Oryx's forces.

Gameplay

Tsugoth is not always guaranteed to appear in the Kings of Decay mission. If he does not, you will just be instructed to head straight to the King's Watch bunker, where the source of the Taken Blight is located.

When he does, however, he can be found in the middle-right area of the Rocketyard fighting against Fallen, near where the player spawns. The Knight's location will also marked, so you will know if he is there or not as soon as you arrive. Despite his size, Tsugoth is quite agile and will frequently move around quite quickly, attempting to get up close and overwhelm you. He comes wielding a Taken Boomer, that can fire fast-traveling, highly accurate blasts of Void energy. Like other Taken Knights, he are capable of shooting flaming projectiles from out of his mouth, leaving fire behind where they land and draining you health if you are hit.

He is assisted by multiple Taken Vandals; more of which will spawn if you kill them. However, the boss is susceptible to being stunned, making him easier to be taken down without him running around and bombarding you with firepower. After you have successfully defeated Tsugoth, you will be told to press onward to the bunker.
