==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
The Vessel of Oryx deploys from a [[Tombship]] that spawns after the second piece of the brand is obtained. The Vessel of Oryx projects a spherical Aura of Immortality that makes all its allies witihn invincible. The Vessel itself will not behave very aggressively, mostly wandering to between the [[Deathsinger]]s' platforms. The Vessel's aura must be stolen to survive the detonation of the Corrupted Light that stuns or damages Oryx. To do this, the player with the Brand Claimer must run to the Vessel, which will have an interactable prompt for them. Interacting will give the Brand Claimer the Aura, leaving the Vessel of Oryx and nearby [[Taken]] vulnerable.
The Vessel of Oryx appears from a [[Tombship]] that spawns after the second piece of the brand is obtained. The Vessel must be killed to acquire the "Aura of Immortality" buff during the final confrontation with [[Oryx, the Taken King]] at [[Threshold]]. To acquire this you must steal it from the Vessel, however, the Vessel is immune to damage until the team manages to complete the Brand Claimer. Once it is obtained, the runner will get to the Vessel, and steal its Aura. Then he can be killed.


Now vulnerable, the Vessel of Oryx will become much more aggressive, attacking nearby [[Guardian]]s at the best of its abilities. If left alive, it will begin to act like a [[Light-Eater Knight]] by running towards a Corrupted Light and consuming it. This behavior change makes the Vessel's destruction among the most important tasks during the encounter.
If the Vessel of Oryx is left alive at any point of the raid, it will begin to act like a [[Light-Eater Knight]] by running to a random corner of the map, usually one where a bomb dropped from a [[Light-Eater Ogre]] is, and consume it. This behavior change makes the Vessel's destruction among the most important tasks during the encounter.


The Vessel of Oryx reappears in ''[[Destiny 2]]'' with the reprisal of the [[King's Fall]] raid. It appears as an [[Elite]] enemy, but is otherwise unchanged in behavior.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/8/23)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Plunder]] - [[King's Fall]]''</ref>
