The Warpriest is an Ascendant Hive and one of Oryx, the Taken King's most powerful champions, having conquered 585 worlds from the time of the Golden Amputation to the fall of the Gift Mast. Utterly devoted to the principles of slaughter, victory, and to the Taken King himself, the Warpriest offers Oryx his tribute in the challenge and slaying of Guardians, often in appeasement for Oryx's own need to kill for subsistence. He is encountered in the King's Fall Raid in the Basilica, and bars the way to Golgoroth's Cellar.
Gameplay
The Warpriest is a Hive Knight whose immune to conventional means; the only way of damaging him is with the "Brand of the Initiate" buff, which is gained by performing a random glyph sequence with pads scattered around the room.
Like Crota, the Warpriest also uses an oversoul in the form of the Oculus, which can kill any Guardian not standing directly in the shadow of one of the three monuments in the room.
