Behavior

Taunts:
On activation:

  • Messenger of Wrath: “Our lord will bring you to your knees!”
  • Messenger of Pride: “The eminence of Oryx is eternal!”
  • Messenger of Envy: “Tremble in awe at the power you witness!”

On deactivation:

  • Messenger of Wrath: “Oryx will show no mercy for such insolence toward his grandeur!”
  • Messenger of Pride: “You will not keep my barrier down for long!”
  • Messenger of Envy: “Lord, my protective spell has been shattered!”

Note that they will not always taunt upon activation/deactivation.

The three Messengers of Oryx are found in Oryx 3’s boss arena, and will activate when the fight begins. While they are initially passive, Oryx 3’s defenses will be greatly strengthened while they are active. He will be Invulnerable with 3 Messengers active, Armored with 2, regular with 1, and Armor Broken with none. Messengers do not have to be killed to deactivate them, as they will deactivate if damaged enough. However, they will reactivate after some time has passed. Active Messengers will be holding one of the Oryx Runes and inactive Messengers will not be holding one.

Partway through Oryx’s fight, they will start to fire rings of Weakening shots. Later in the fight, they will start firing these shots in greater number, while also boosting the damage and debuff duration of their attacks.

When Oryx 3 destroys the arena during his dying animation, the Messengers will also be destroyed.

Trivia

Each messenger, when active, holds one of the Oryx Runes needed to access Oryx’s Sanctuary, suggesting that the runes players used to reveal the entrance are now being used to protect Oryx.
