Talk:Oryx, the Taken King

Move?

Should we move this to Oryx, the Taken King to keep it in line with our other pages? -- SFH (talk) 21:11, 18 July 2015 (EDT)

• Has it been confirmed that that's his official title? OmgHAX! (talk) 09:06, 19 July 2015 (EDT)
  • Mostly, I'm going by Bungie.net Destinythegame.com, and the descriptions in the trailers which always describe him as "Oryx, the Taken King". Does that qualify? -- SFH (talk) 15:07, 7 August 2015 (EDT)

Better to wait. Bungie might do something unexpected and make his full name "Oryx, King of the Taken". We'll know for sure as soon as someone beats the new raid and posts video on YouTube. MorningWalker (talk) 15:21, 7 August 2015 (EDT)

Or when the database gets updated and we can see his grimoire card. OmgHAX! (talk) 15:32, 7 August 2015 (EDT)

Powers/Abilities

Hello, I am just not what the descriptions of some of Oryx's abilities are such as Doxology and Banish to Darkness Dimension, can someone explain when and how he uses it?--CNBA3 (talk) 22:18, 27 September 2015 (EDT)

They're both abilities Oryx uses in King's Fall. "Doxology" is a team-wipe attack triggered by not stunning Oryx by detontating the spheres dropped by Light-Eater Ogres (if I remember correctly), while "Banish to Darkness Dimension" pulls a player into an isolated area where an enemy called Shade of Oryx must be killed in order to escape.

Thank you MorningWalker.--CNBA3 (talk) 10:32, 28 September 2015 (EDT)

Can someone enlighten me as to what the ability "King's Decree" is?--CNBA3 (talk) 00:12, 29 October 2015 (EDT)

Check the "Gameplay" section of the article. That section should have descriptions of known enemy abilities and when they are encountered. MorningWalker (talk) 15:40, 29 October 2015 (EDT)

Do Hive Have Genes?

There's a lot of questions about the Hive and their elder gods but one question has bothered me a lot is that. Why doesn't Oryx's kin have wings or his horns except for "Nokris"? And about Crota. If my theory is wrong, (read here, Crota, Son of Oryx) then why does he look nothing like other Hive? ---Virgil the Ghost

Oryx is alive

I fought echo of Oryx in Destiny 2 Joker,s Wild . This shows that Oryx is alive (in form of Echo of Oryx).And will have big role in future game!!!! Nittin Das (talk) 15:49, April 21, 2019 (EDT)

Not by a long shot. Sparta94 (talk) 17:07, April 21, 2019 (EDT)

Is taox the mother of osmium king?

in taox's biography says "osmium mother" rank and is mentioned in some pages as grandmother of oryx. D25910 (talk) 02:25, October 13, 2019 (EDT)

Would you consider using proper English and punctuation? Anyway, we don’t know of Taox is the mother of the Osmium King, or the grand-mother of Oryx. It might be implied, but, we ultimately don’t know for certain. Akarasis, Archon of Stone (talk) 03:47, October 13, 2019 (EDT)

Is Oryx a member of The Disciples of the Witness since he is a well…disciple of the Witness

Yeah. Tell me. And then add it if yes -Warlock Mania”Idk how to do signatures so yeah”

Due to his closeness to the Deep, possibly, but there is more evidence to suggest that Savathûn was to be a Disciple before she turned against the Witness in Season of Arrival. Plus, he clearly lacked he powers that Disciples have, not even the D2 Oryx who came after Rhulk had any XD — TheTrueSorrowMaker
