"I just registered a massive transmat. A Fallen Captain, and he's coming for us!"

— The Ghost

Iliksis, Light Stalker was a powerful Fallen Captain of the House of Devils who launched a full-scale assault on the tower known as Bannerfall, in an attempt to breach the walls of the Last City. However, his efforts were thwarted by the Guardian, who happened to be there searching for blueprints and components to forge a new Gjallarhorn.

Gameplay

Iliksis is encountered as the final boss of the A Symbol of Honor mission. After the Fallen assault force's bombs on both sides of the tower have been defused, the Captain will arrive at the main square of Bannerfall, where you would have spawned at the beginning of the mission. Iliksis comes equipped with a Shrapnel Launcher, capable of firing powerful bursts of long-ranged Solar projectiles. He also possesses a short-distance teleportation ability, allowing him to outmaneuver or flank the player, as well as briefly evade heavy firepower. If you get too close to the boss, he can knock you back by stomping the ground, leaving a serious dent in your health. Several Fallen reinforcements will come to assist their leader as he takes more and more damage, some of them even arriving via Skiffs. Iliksis himself, however, is somewhat lacking in terms of durability, and the battle should not be overly difficult, so long as you use powerful weapons to deal more significant damage, whilst making sure to take care of his forces as quickly as possible to prevent them from overwhelming you. In fact, it is possible to defeat the boss solely by allowing Bannerfall's automated defense turrets to gradually whittle his health down, meaning you will not even have to engage him directly. Once Iliksis has been put down, the mission will be complete.
