"A king is dead. Good riddance. A king will rise. If not Noru’usk, another. If not another..."

— Grimoire description

Noru'usk, Servant of Oryx is a Taken Centurion that was captured and imprisoned within the Prison of Elders. Despite his imprisonment, Noru'usk harbored ambitions of becoming the next Taken King, viewing himself as worthier of the title than Oryx was.

Gameplay

Noru'usk is essentially a giant Taken Centurion. He is armed with a Projection Rifle, and can cover great distances with his jump jets. Whenever a Guardian gets too close, he will stomp the ground to create a "quake" that will either deal damage to or instantly kill them depending on how close they are. For longer-ranged attacks, he will fire an Axion Dart that will home in on its target. Whenever his Taken reinforcements are killed, he can always summon more in the arena.

Trivia
