- "In my disparity, allies of Light have imprisoned me. I try to oppose their will, but intense cold has rendered me immobile. Without my directive, I am weak. I acquiesce. After a time, I find I can hear. It is a new voice; it is many voices. I will wait. I have taken a new shape."
- — Grimoire description[1]
Keksis, the Betrayed is a Taken Captain that was captured and imprisoned within the Prison of Elders.
Gameplay[edit]
Like any Taken Captain, Keksis is armed with an Arc Shrapnel Launcher and can both teleport erratically and rapidly hurl Darkness Bolts that blind Guardians. However, in Challenge of the Elders, they will gain the ability to summon explosives that will temporarily suppress a Guardian's abilities if left unchecked. The explosive will be floating around in the middle of the arena, and players must stand in it and channel its Corrupted Light to avoid getting the "Suppressed" debuff.
Trivia[edit]
- Keksis is the only Taken in the entire game whose Grimoire card is conveyed in the first person.
- Unlike most Taken, Keksis doesn't have a glowing central eye. Their face remains pitch black.
- Keksis is one of the few bosses that doesn't have a slam ability should the player get close.
- The "many voices" mentioned in Keksis' Grimoire card might reference Riven's influence after Oryx's death. If so, this would be the earliest reference to Riven in the Destiny series.
