Xirash, Keeper of Memory is a large and powerful Hive Knight of the Lucent Brood, charged with protecting the Altar of Reflection. They are encountered as the final boss of the missions Memories of Loss and Altar of Reflection: Choice.

Gameplay

Xirash appears in the main hall of the Altar of Reflection. They wield a Hive Boomer, and are reinforced by large numbers of Hive Thrall and Acolytes, as well as a Lucent Archivist Wizard. The Knight is capable of creating large, lingering pools of fire upon slamming the ground with their fist, or by throwing Acolyte Grenades. If they enter Berserk Mode, Xirash will charge at the player, attempting to smash them with their Boomer, and will not stop until you have been hit. After the Knight's sustains significant damage, more Hive reinforcements will arrive to help repel the intruder. Despite all of this, Xirash has very few defensive capabilities, and can be easily dispatched so long as the player keeps a reasonable distance and avoids the bosses flaming pools.
