Oryx himself appears in [[Regicide]]. He fires Darkness Blasts, attacks with his sword, summons Taken, and can cause fire damage over a specific area. Another ability is Grasp of the King, where Oryx drains the player's [[Super]] meter; if the player does not shoot at and interrupt Oryx, Grasp of the King will end in another ability called King's Decree, which causes instant death. After Oryx's health is reduced significantly, he will transport the player into a Darkness dimension, a small area surrounded by an impenetrable wall of mist. Oryx will periodically emerge from the mist and swing his sword at the player, which is the only time when he is vulnerable to damage.

Oryx appears once more as the final boss in [[King's Fall]], the [[raid]] included with ''[[The Taken King]]''.<ref name = "KotakuKing"/> In the Ascendant realm, he is in his true  form, a gigantic monster who can crush Guardians with his fists. He will also cast a number of spells such as Doxology, which kills players without the Aura of Immortality acquired from the [[Vessel of Oryx]], or drag players into a Darkness dimension (a Darkness Sphere that disables recovery) to confront a Shade of Oryx, or drop Motors on you and your fireteam..

In addition to [[Light-Eater Ogre]]s, [[Light-Eater Knight]]s will spawn in an attempt to consume the blight bombs that the Ogres leave behind when killed. The best strategy is to damage the Ogres, kill the knights, and then go back to killing the Ogres so that you have blight bombs to detonate when damaging Oryx.

The challenge for the Oryx encounter is that all sixteen blight bombs must be detonated simultaneously to deal full damage to Oryx. Therefore, you have to kill the Ogres and then save the blight bombs for the fourth damage sequence.
