The '''Warpriest''' is an [[Ascendant Hive]], and one of [[Oryx, the Taken King]]'s most powerful champions in his Court; having conquered five-hundred and eighty-five worlds from the time of the Golden Amputation to the fall of the Gift Mast. Utterly devoted to the principles of slaughter, victory, and tribute, the Warpriest offers Oryx his tribute in the challenge and slaying of others and weighing the past conquests of worlds against his principles, often in appeasement for the [[Worms|Worms']] gluttonous appetite so that Oryx might one day not need kill to gain sustenance and can focus all his power on leading the Final Shape. He is encountered in the [[King's Fall]] [[Raid]] in the [[Basilica]], and bars the way to [[Golgoroth's Cellar]]. | The '''Warpriest''' is an [[Ascendant Hive]], and one of [[Oryx, the Taken King]]'s most powerful champions in his Court; having conquered five-hundred and eighty-five worlds from the time of the Golden Amputation to the fall of the Gift Mast, pacing a circuit for each civilisation destroyed similar to when Oryx paced 10 times when exterminating the [[Taishibethi]].

To face Oryx, you must first prove yourself worthy of facing the Warpriest by collecting Deathsinger's power by the [https://www.destinypedia.com/King%27s_Fall#Basilica| way of the Sword Logic] in honor of Oryx, failure leading to death. After the Warpriest deems you worthy, one may challenge him and his worship to prove your power to then challenge Oryx, as is the way of the Sword-Logic.<ref>'''Bungie (2015/9/15)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[The Taken King]] Playstation 4, Activision Blizzard, [[Grimoire]]: [[Grimoire:Activities/Raids#King's_Fall|King's Fall]]''</ref> | ||

In Destiny 2, the Warpriest remains largely the same. However, the Destiny 1 Hard Mode variation of the Warpriest gaining Taken abilities is always active. The Warpriest will fire Retaliation Swarms when shot at, will summon Axion Darts at will, and fire Darkness Bolts to blind Guardians. The other important change is regarding the Brand of the Initiate. No longer is this timer extended by killing enemies. Instead, an unbranded player must kill a Taken Knight that spawns, pick up the Brand Claimer buff it leaves behind, and interact with the branded player to absorb the Brand before their timer expires. Doing so will prevent them from dying and provide more time to continue damaging the Warpriest. Claiming the brand at the last possible second will ensure maximum damage time, which is | In Destiny 2, the Warpriest remains largely the same.

The other important change is regarding the Brand of the Initiate. No longer is this timer extended by killing enemies. Instead, an unbranded player must kill a [[Blightguard]] [[Taken Knight]] that spawns, pick up the Brand Claimer buff it leaves behind, and interact with the branded player to absorb the Brand before their timer expires. Doing so will prevent them from dying and provide more time to continue damaging the Warpriest. Claiming the brand at the last possible second will ensure maximum damage time, which is paramount to gaining enough time to take down the Warpriest. Brand Claiming can be done twice before no further Blightguards spawn, leading to the Warpriest summoning his Oculus to wipe you, which you must hide from. | ||
