After surviving the crash into Europa, players will be dazed from the impact as they return to the entrance of Deep Stone Crypt. The crash site, now called [[Restricted]], is littered with the remains of the Morning Star and most notably a pile of debris with Taniks beneath. | After surviving the crash into Europa, players will be dazed from the impact as they return to the entrance of Deep Stone Crypt.

While approaching the deposit bins, Taniks is capable of turning them offline similar to the previous Descent encounter. Players with the Suppressor augment need to stun Taniks as he glows blue. To gain this, they are required to defeat a [[Suppressor Vandal]] located near the orange site. However, this time, there are three [[Security Drone]]s located in blue, orange, and spawn areas, with nine drones total. The Suppressor needs to pass through three of the drones in any given area. If they suppress Taniks too quickly, a player with an augment such as an Operator can become deactivated. It is recommended for the Suppressor to slow down their gameplay and wait for Taniks to encase players twice before stunning Taniks a final third time. If any players were to have their Augments deactivated, they can transfer it to another player by going to one of the three augment terminals. | While approaching the deposit bins, Taniks is capable of turning them offline similar to the previous Descent encounter.

After depositing the four nuclear cores, Taniks will position himself in the middle of the crash site and release a blue Shock Field of swirling debris. Players need to carefully enter the field and position themselves within the two spheres, as standing too close will deal Arc damage, and too far will cause death from the rotating debris. During the damage phase, Taniks will send a gust of energy to push the fireteam out of the sphere, in they must carefully re-enter his Shock Field to continue damaging Taniks. | After depositing the four nuclear cores, Taniks will position himself in the middle of the crash site and release a blue Shock Field of swirling debris.

Once Taniks reaches the final stand, he will teleport across the crash site appearing either by the spawn, blue or orange locations. Players need to continue their damage as he teleports around. If players fail to kill Taniks after five teleportations, he will instantly kill the group. After defeating Taniks, Guardians then can claim loot from the final chest and spend their Spoils of Conquest on gear and weapons from the raid. | Once Taniks reaches the final stand, he will teleport across the crash site appearing either by the spawn, blue or orange locations.

==Trivia== | |||
*Taniks wears a red and orange cloak which displays a mysterious insignia. It is unknown if this belongs to his original House or is unique to Taniks himself. However, the insignia can also be seen in a building by [[Archer's Line]]. | |||
*The Cloak of Taniks and [[Does Not Bow]] Auto Rifle are two strike-exclusive items associated with Taniks. | |||
*According to the description of Does Not Bow, Taniks was punished by his Kell and docked; he subsequently built his first mechanical arms and took revenge.<ref name="DNB"/> | |||
*Taniks is believed to have once been a member of an extinct Fallen House called the [[House of Scar]]. | |||
*He also leads his own group of loyal Fallen called [[Taniks' Crew]]. His crew would later ally with the [[Devil Splicers]] to resurrect him. | |||
*In his Perfected state, Taniks is colorless grey, with all four arms appearing thick and of biological origin. In this state, he resembles an untextured Captain and retains the tall horns of one beneath his unique helmet. He is absent of [[SIVA]] features and has SIVA nanites fly around him. However, in gameplay, he sometimes appears in his original form.<ref>'''YouTube:''' [https://youtu.be/MPcBmqwheys The Shadow Thief Nightfall - Timestamp at 17:17]</ref> | |||
*His Perfected killcam displays the [[House of Wolves]] even though he is working with the Devil Splicers. | |||
*Taniks is the only known Fallen to have successfully killed a [[Vanguard]] authority of the [[Last City]]. | |||
*During the "[[Ace in the Hole]]" Exotic Quest, one of [[Cayde's Stash]]es has a message addressed to Taniks if he killed him.<ref>'''Bungie (2018/9/10)''', ''[[Destiny]] - [[Ace in the Hole]]''</ref> | |||
*Taniks is the first Strike boss to later be featured as a Raid boss. | |||
*In his Reborn state, Taniks is given better lighting texture to make his prosthetic arms whiter in appearance rather than their usual gray. | |||
*The corpse of Taniks Abomination radiates nuclear energy which can be fatal if players stand near his body for too long. If they were to die from the radiation, Taniks would laugh at them, suggesting that the Fallen cyborg may still be alive after his defeat.<ref> '''YouTube:''' [https://youtu.be/zZPTnz1QL9o Taniks Abomination Laugh]</ref> That or it may be a developer oversight. | |||
**After about a minute, the radiation dissipates and his body is safe to approach. | |||
*Taniks, The Abomination counts as a [[Heavy Shank]] kill for [[Uldren|The Crow]]'s bounties.<ref> '''YouTube:''' [https://youtu.be/PdOmctCXfoo Taniks Abomination Heavy Shank Bounty]</ref> | |||
*Upon completion of the Raid, players are rewarded with Taniks's armor fragment and can display his Helmet as a trophy in the campsite at [[Beyond]]. | |||
*If kept waiting long enough while he is performing his asteroid attacks, he will kill everyone, displaying "turbulent detonation" as the cause of death. The only other enemy who used this attack was [[INSURRECTION PRIME, Kell's Scourge]] from [[Scourge of the Past]]. | |||
