Haroktha, Scourge of the Helium Drinkers is a Hive Knight of Xivu Arath's Horde. Haroktha was tasked with commanding the Hive of Xivu Arath and Fallen of House Salvation forces aboard the Seraph Station as a means of taking control of it alongside Praksis the Defiled.[1]

Gameplay

Haroktha is initially encountered halfway through Operation: Seraph's Shield, responding to the noise cause by The Guardian. It will fight for a few moments before summoning Fallen reinforcements and Warbringer Brigs and leaving the player to them.

The Maw of Xivu Arath returns for a proper battle later in the mission, in a smaller room. Haroktha uses a Boomer as their main weapon, can launch Solar Mortar grenades, conjure Clouds of Darkness, protect itself with a wide Darkness Barrier, and strike foes with an area melee attack. Often, they will enrage and rush towards the player with their gun raised to strike them in melee. In addition, hordes of Acolytes will constantly appear in the room, leaving little time to breathe. That said, Haroktha uses no immunity mechanics in this battle, and can be slain with concentrated fire.

Trivia

  • Judging by their name, they were involved with the destruction of the Helium Drinkers, a fellow Krill nation that neighboured the Osmium Court on Fundament.
    • Adding to this, they were potentially one of the first few who still remember their life before becoming a Hive.
  • Haroktha is referred to as the "Maw of Xivu Arath" in the gameplay text when they summon House Salvation forces.
