Avarokk, the Covetous is the Captain of a band of rogue Fallen obsessed with collecting riches from across the Sol system, primarily the hordes of Engrams of Wilhelm-7.

Biography

Not much is known of Avarokk, simply that they and their crew had tricked Wilhelm-7 and his Ghost, Bismarck, into going to the caves beneath the Cosmodrome's Skywatch, along with his Fireteam members, Pershing and Agadir. After he had gone mad and his teammates and Ghost had all met a grisly end, the Fallen tracked Wilhelm down and murdered him, after which they holed themselves up in his treasure hoard. Avarokk was killed when it was raided by other Guardians sometime later.

Gameplay

Approaching the red Engram in the center of the Sunken Lair will trigger the encounter, and Avarokk will emerge, as well as fallen reinforcements throughout the arena. Avarokk will remain near the crystal there for most of the fight, alongside Grisprax, Bosun of Avarokk and R-M80, Loyal to Avarokk. The Captain is resistant to all forms of damage, and is capable of throwing Web Mines at long distances. In order to damage them, players must first kill the Scorch Vandals that spawn to take their Scorch Cannons, which are used to power up the reactors on both sides of the arena by shooting them, either repeatedly, or with a charged projectile. This will cause large amounts of Engrams to pour out from the walls, which will give the "Burdened by Riches" debuff, which can stack multiple times, to anyone who picks them up. This debuff will kill the player if the thirty second timer on it runs out, although it can be reset by picking up more Engrams. Players must deposit a large quantity of debuffs in the crystal in center of the arena. Once the required amount has been deposited, Avarokk will teleport away from the crystal and lose their immunity, allowing for the boss to be damaged. Once the damage phase ends, they will return to guarding the crystal. Grisprax and R-M80 will also respawn after after the damage phase if they are killed.

Trivia

    • It is believed that said symbol was the banner of the extinct Fallen House of Scar. Whether or not Avarokk was a member is unknown.
