Morgeth, the Spirekeeper: Difference between revisions
From Destinypedia, the Destiny wiki
(It's Rotten Surge not Rotting Surge. Also I think that should be considered Morgeth's weapon since it's his main way of attack. No need for Arc in Rotten Surge as all Taken Ogres with it use it as arc. The element is explained in the Taken Ogre tab, which is where someone should go for an explanation on Rotten Surge.) |

Morgeth, the Spirekeeper is an enormous, powerful Taken Ogre which serves as the enforcer of Riven's corruption in the Dreaming City, and the guard of the City's main tower, The Keep of Voices. It is the third boss of the Last Wish Raid.
Gameplay
The boss encounter will trigger when someone collects a portion of Taken strength. Morgeth will rise and will start focusing the player/s with Arc blasts. To be able to damage the boss, player/s will need to get a ten stack on their "Taken Strength" buff, the ninth being the first "Taken Strength" that started the encounter. However, player/s that stack up three or more times per player will die, meaning that everyone should have two stacks each. While trying to do this, adds will continuously spawn and Morgeth will also continuously ramp up his strength. The speed of his strength increase will expand over time, sometimes by the "Taken Strength". In this boss fight, many Taken Psions, Taken Ogres, and a special Taken Captain will spawn. The Captain will drop Taken Essence, and only two Taken Essence can be present at a time. This is used to cleanse people of the debuff called "Taken Enervation" in which the targeted player is disabled from moving. However, people who are cleansed of it will lose all of their "Taken Strength". With the orb from the Eye of Riven, the player/s will need to use it to stop Morgeth from using all of his strength and team-wiping and to start damaging. It is recommended to use the bomb attack of the orb on the Ogre when Morgeth is at 90% strength, in which to maximize. Also, several Axion Darts will emit from Morgeth, able to kill most to all of the whole team. Repeat this cycle until Morgeth is vanquished and the player/s can move on to the next encounter. Note that the amount of "Taken Strength" will vary for each wave of each rotation.
Trivia
- Morgeth's name is similar to the name of Vorgeth, the Boundless Hunger
- This could indicate that the two were made by the same Hive or Worm entity other than Oryx, the Taken King, Savathûn, and Xivu Arath.
- Morgeth is by far the largest Ogre the Guardians have fought.
- Morgeth has a large pulsing mass on their back that grows larger and pulses more as their Taken strength becomes stronger. This is very similar to how the strike boss, Malok, Pride of Oryx's head will pulsate and grow larger as it is damaged more.
