| '''Taniks Perfected''' is the remastered variant of [[Taniks, the Scarred]]. He was resurrected by the [[Devil Splicers]] and both his mind and body have been overtaken by [[SIVA]].
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| After, so many losses against the new Iron Lords, the Devil Splicers sought new allies to hopefully turn the tide and so they turned to Taniks' crew, still reeling from the loss of their leader. Using SIVA, the Devil Splicers successfully resurrect Taniks as "Taniks Perfected", solidifying an alliance between the Splicers and Taniks' crew.
| |
| | |
| After picking up chatter from the Splicers, [[Variks]] informs the Vanguard of Taniks' return. Gathering the Guardians who fought with Saladin, the Vanguard sends them to the moon to chase after Taniks in the same manner as before. Fighting through Splicers and a Fallen Walker, the Guardians corner Taniks in the command bridge. Despite his enhanced SIVA abilities and [[Scorch Cannon|his]] [[Shock Cannon|varied]] [[Null Cannon|weapons]], the Guardians once again slay Taniks.
| |
| | |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| | |
| Taniks Perfected is the final boss of the Revisited version of [[The Shadow Thief]] [[Strike]]. He will already be waiting near the rift to his [[Ketch]] fending off [[Hive]] reinforcements with his cannon. Damaging him will force him to enter the rift.
| |
| | |
| Once onboard his Ketch, he will pound Guardians from afar with his cannon while teleporting around the arena to throw the player's aim off. Once he sustains enough damage, he will teleport away from the arena and summon a [[Splicer Walker|Perfected Walker]] in the next room.
| |
| | |
| After defeating the Walker, Taniks will reappear and lock down the hallway with his cannon to prevent Guardians from passing through. Damaging him will force him to teleport into the final room. Guardians cannot go back through the door where they came from; they are confined to this room. This is where he gains his special mechanic: a [[SIVA Node]]-powered immunity shield. Destroying all the SIVA Nodes will remove this shield, allowing Guardians to continue shooting him. This repeats until he is killed.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| | |
| *The element of Taniks' cannon will change every time he is fought. First [[Solar]], then [[Arc]], and finally [[Void]].
| |
| *In the kill feed, Taniks Perfected is mentioned to be with the House of Wolves although he is actually with the Devil Splicers.
| |
| *Unlike [[Sepiks Perfected]], Taniks Perfected doesn't have a Grimoire card of his own.
| |
| *Strangly, Taniks once perfected has no color and unlike Sepiks Perfected, has no SIVA parts, only a SIVA swarm flying around him.
