Gameplay

The Vessel of Oryx deploys from a Tombship that spawns after the second piece of the brand is obtained. The Vessel of Oryx projects a spherical Aura of Immortality that makes all its allies witihn invincible. The Vessel itself will not behave very aggressively, mostly wandering to between the Deathsingers' platforms. The Vessel's aura must be stolen to survive the detonation of the Corrupted Light that stuns or damages Oryx. To do this, the player with the Brand Claimer must run to the Vessel, which will have an interactable prompt for them. Interacting will give the Brand Claimer the Aura, leaving the Vessel of Oryx and nearby Taken vulnerable.

Now vulnerable, the Vessel of Oryx will become much more aggressive, attacking nearby Guardians at the best of its abilities. If left alive, it will begin to act like a Light-Eater Knight by running towards a Corrupted Light and consuming it. This behavior change makes the Vessel's destruction among the most important tasks during the encounter.

The Vessel of Oryx reappears in Destiny 2 with the reprisal of the King's Fall raid. He appears as an Elite enemy, but is otherwise unchanged in behavior.[2]
