- "Oryx gave me no task. Therefore I must task myself, With Oryx's ending."
- — Alak-Hul
Alak-Hul, the Darkblade is a Hive Knight, foster son of Oryx, and the boss of The Sunless Cell.
Biography
Alak-Hul and his consort, Verok, were present at the Hellmouth when Eris Morn and Eriana-3 led their fireteam to assassinate Crota, Son of Oryx.[1] It was Alak-Hul and Verok's spawn that killed the Titan Vell Tarlowe.[2] Following the raid, Alak-Hul and Verok instigated a rebellion against Oryx, but the rebellion was put down. Alak-Hul's motivation was twofold: first, because he felt neglected by Oryx (which was deliberate, as Oryx wanted Alak-Hul to become a "hungering blade"), and second, to appraise himself in the eyes of Verok. Alak-Hul was captured by Oryx's warriors, and the Taken King decreed that Alak-Hul be imprisoned aboard the Dreadnaught, never to see the light again.[3] But after Oryx retreated from the material realm, Eris wanted to make sure Alak-Hul couldn't assume the throne, and ordered for his elimination, and so a fireteam went down into his cell and killed him.
Gameplay
The fight with Alak-Hul will be deep in his cell, so it will be almost pitch black, limiting one's field of vision. He is armed with an axe. After taking a certain amount of damage, he will appear to vanish from existence only to teleport to another position of the arena. If on low health, Alak-Hul will become enraged and charge his foes down to cut them to bits.
