Voice of Riven is a Taken Chimera which serves as a representative of Riven, as well as the final boss of Forsaken story campaign.
Overview
The Voice of Riven appears to be a horrific amalgamation of Fallen Servitor components and living flesh. In place of the central "eye" of a Servitor is a gaping maw, lined with rows of fangs. The exterior of the creature is covered with numerous translucent tentacles reminiscent of the appearance of the Taken.
Gameplay
The Voice of Riven has two main methods of attacking the player: it can fire Void Eversion blasts from its mouth and release Seeker Bursts from chambers on the side of its body. Both of these attacks can deal significant damage to Guardians from long range. It is will also have large sections of the floor poisoned by Taken energy from its mere presence, and when faced up close, it will release a melee pulse that will knock the player back. Occasionally, it will summon miniature Taken Blights which can shield itself from damage; these blights must be destroyed to remove the shielding. Whenever its health reaches a certain threshold, the Voice will begin to banish the player to the Ascendant Plane, where they will fight waves of lesser Taken enemies until an Ascendant Plane Guard appears, which must be killed to re-engage. The Voice of Riven's weak spot is its mouth, as it takes the most damage whenever it is struck.
Trivia
- When posing as Mara Sov, the Voice (if it was her hallucination in actuality) spoke to Uldren Sov in a manner similar to the Ahamkara, saying "O Brother mine," a sign of its true nature as an agent of the last living Ahamkara.
- The Voice of Riven is Riven's version of The Echoes of Oryx, as they aren't directly the being in control, but are used to patrol and control the Taken and the beings land.
- Some of the flesh around the Servitor parts look much like the symbiote on Achlyophage Symbiote. This may be a coincidence or the perhaps the voice is the symbiote.
