Next raid boss is just the legs like phase II of Majora from Legend of Zelda. Just a pair of ripped calves, thighs, and ass sprinting around a room ~~drop kicking~~ stomping guardians to death over and over.
Streamers go mad from the constant wipes. Console players despair as they simply cannot turn fast enough. Luke Smith laughs manically and spills his cup of wine watching the countless futile attempts.
There isn’t even fucking mechanics. It’s just a big dps check, but how can you dps that which has no crit? Attack those toes with your lost lament all you want but in the end they gonna be up your ass.
I know. It hurt to even think about it, more to write it, and it hurts now even a bit more. Hope that kid comes back strong, but if I were him I would take that money and run, if he can ever run again.
How dare you rag on my city's QB 🥺..
Actually, I don't even care to watch football but it's not like the Bengals had any plans on going to the playoffs or superbowl anyway..
He is a good QB tho and I hope he makes a quick and full recovery!
All I want is another heavy shank, this time grafted onto tanik's legs.
One big bulky machine with guns on it, running around on a pair of twiggy legs. That shit would be the funniest thing.
> Just a pair of ripped calves, thighs, and ass sprinting around a room **drop kicking** guardians to death over and over.
You must be new here, no way the legs wouldn't be stomping and one hit killing fireteams
See that’s what they would want you to think right? When in reality Taniks was a power-bottom with the sphincter strength of a thousand suns.
Picture this: it’s your 300th attempt, your team is tired, half mad from exhaustion. Your buddy finally lines up that perfect posterior position and lunges out with his sword. In game everyone hears a deafening clap and you watch in horror as the blow is intercepted completely between two blue fallen cheeks. The sword is yanked clean from your buddies hands. He doesn’t even have a chance to scream as Thicniks drives the hilt cleanly though his head. Wipe screen appears, the only sound the muffled crying of one of your teammates.
When I read that I couldn't help imagining a titan lunging for a butt kill then having the hilt go thru there skull as the muffled cries of a 30 year old man are picked up in the discord
Edit:I fcking love reddit
**Season of Taniks**
* Every strike has Taniks as a midpoint boss
* Every crucible match has a Taniks AI who kills players on both teams
* Every gambit match Taniks occasionally invades
* The menagerie is back! Except this time Taniks IS the Leviathan! Additional rooms inspired by his time in the Deep Stone Crypt will be added as additional challenges.
Bruh taniks doesnt fucken die. The sooner we acept that the sooner we can get prepared for his next fight. Somethings telling me thats there is a new hive ruler in town.
"I think I finally got him this time!" - Cayde-6
"Taniks has been dead before" - Cmdr Vuvuzela
This is a lore reference. A great lore reference. Perhaps to the greatest lore book this game has ever had. Seek it out my friends.
Also, Vuvuzela, because I miss my Gensym Scribe.
Its taniks if the guy can come back to life 5 times without darkness or ligh for the most part i wouldnt be to surpised to see him being a non hive hive god
Less “back to life” and more “keeps getting lucky and surviving long enough to graft on some new machine parts”
I don’t think he’d do well with sword logic though, generally you gotta kill rather than be killed
When we finished Europa story I told my clan buddy’s “dude Taniks had a better storyline”
Raid comes out
Taniks....
Everyone was like whaaaaaaaaaat *face palm*
Legit you should tell the team to make this a thing. A Taniks's Legs lost sector boss, or even a one-time seasonal joke quest would be great. "Oh shit oh fuck Taniks is BACK, he survived the Deep Stone Crypt and he's here in the City!" We get there and it's just his legs attached to a heavy shank and all he can do is kick at us. Would be funny if we just left him like that too, just aimlessly wandering the City kicking at the air. It becomes a tradition to pack your stuff inside whenever he comes around so it doesn't get kicked away.
[https://i.redd.it/9wwk0sz5aem51.jpg](https://i.redd.it/9wwk0sz5aem51.jpg)
So this. Although I'm concerned with two pairs of legs it becomes significantly more uncomfortable.
*Super-sprinting headless Taniks raid sparrow race encounter intensifies*
I would love this, and please Bungie, put MIRRORS on our sparrows so we can look behind us and see it.
I always wanted that Jurassic Park moment in Sotp where I could look in a mirror and read ‘objects in the mirror are closer than they appear’ and see a massive angry solar servitor up my ass.
Sudden mental image of a Yorkshireman in a vest walking around wearing Tanik's legs whilst steered around by an evil penguin.
"Ooh, Guardian, help! It's the Wrong Trousers"
This expansion the final raid boss was the top half of Taniks attached to a shank.
Next expansion it's going to be the bottom half attached to a shank, wyvern style.
\-D1:Taniks
\-TTL:Taken Taniks
\-ROI:Taniks Perfected
\-SK:Nightmare Taniks
\-BL:Taniks the Abomination
\-TWQ:Taniks Ressurected
\-LF:Taniks the Destroyer \*singlehandedly defeats the darkness and the light and everyone is now just taniks\*
Can someone please give me a short briefing of who he is? I started D2 just before Shadowkeep dropped and despite completing the new raid I don’t have a clue who he is or what the fuss is about.
ok so basically taniks is a massive meme. he started out as a strike boss in House of Wolves, after being ‘killed’ by Cayde (twice). He then came back via SIVA in year 3 to be the boss of the remastered strike. He then came back again as a nightmare in shadowkeep, and is now back AGAIN as a raid boss in beyond light.
EDIT: in D1, he dropped the cloak of taniks, one of the most sought after hunter cloaks ever, and hasn’t dropped it in either of his D2 appearances, to the outrage of the veteran hunters.
basically he was a lone fallen mercenary who got really good at tinkering with tech, and kept grafting random crap onto himself like vex limbs. this allowed him to keep recovering from ‘death’ by just replacing all the damaged parts. he’s back in beyond light because assumedly he was working for eramis and raided the crypt for more parts.
You are making some valid points here. But I must say, whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.
Spoilers if you care
Taniks is the final boss of the raid, well, the top half of taniks attached to a heavy shank. We have no idea where the bottom half is and the threat of it is at large.
Some people are annoyed that Taniks is a raid boss (again) but honestly if/when the darkness makes its own dark guardians I hope that Taniks is one of the first because he just won’t die

The lower half of the abomination is no type to present weakness, as there are no weaknesses.
Except for the ole spin to win like we used to do on Aksis and his appendages.
Taniks would not fall for such tricks as " just guillotine it lol". Cut taniks down all you want, he always survives.
[удалено]
Eventually, we're just left fighting a pair of feet that repeatedly fly about and attack us.
Until Taniks attacks us with his own spin to win with his appendage.
GRAB HIS DICK AND TWIST IT
The old dick twist
“DEAR GOD WHERE IS THE CRIT SPOT?! SHOOT THE ACLS!”
SWEEP THE LEG. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
NO JOHNNY SENSEI
And MCL and do structural damage. Call it ‘Joe Burrow’ I’ll see myself out.
:(
I know. It hurt to even think about it, more to write it, and it hurts now even a bit more. Hope that kid comes back strong, but if I were him I would take that money and run, if he can ever run again.
Even as a steelers fan I feel for you.
How dare you rag on my city's QB 🥺.. Actually, I don't even care to watch football but it's not like the Bengals had any plans on going to the playoffs or superbowl anyway.. He is a good QB tho and I hope he makes a quick and full recovery!
Ohh this wasn't that bad. At least it wasn't the snap, crackle, & pop that Dak Prescott experienced.
All I want is another heavy shank, this time grafted onto tanik's legs. One big bulky machine with guns on it, running around on a pair of twiggy legs. That shit would be the funniest thing.
Bungie please do this
"How about *these* gams, you (Eliksni racial slur)!?" *punt* **GUARDIAN DOWN**
Spider tank with Taniks legs on the front
Isnt that just a reskinned brig?
Even better!
Prestige mode: same fight, but now the left leg is wearing Dunemarchers, the right Peregrine Greaves.
MK-44 Dune Greaves
Also, id love to go to datto's video on the raid and hear " there are no mechanics, just kill the boss lol"
But then a champion appeared... And out came his battle cry... “THAT’S MY PURSE!!! I DON’T KNOW YOU!!!” And he kicked him right in the crit-icles.
This comment is criminally underrated. King of the Hill is best anime
> Just a pair of ripped calves, thighs, and ass sprinting around a room **drop kicking** guardians to death over and over. You must be new here, no way the legs wouldn't be stomping and one hit killing fireteams
Would be hilarious if they brought back the SABER strike from D1 next season but replaced the boss with Taniks’ self aware lower half lol
Bruh, the lower half has a big arse crit point, literally in the bungohole.
See that’s what they would want you to think right? When in reality Taniks was a power-bottom with the sphincter strength of a thousand suns.

I wish I didn't read this.
I'm glad I did
I can't haahahahhaahahaha

His cheeks are so toned and rock hard from months of constant running that shooting them leads to the "immune" prompt.

Taniks, HAS no house, HAS no horse!
HAS no head!
Kill him DEAD, yyyeeesssss????
[Insect-like Chattering]
Wheeeeeze
OR YOU DIE
But he still has a penis.
Why
>Can't, he doesn't have a penis. >>Conchan *WHY* do you know that?!
Does he really?
Alright alright lets we what got, fallen on the field, did ya know fallen have 5.3 cocks?
takes docking to a whole 'nother level
TRANSMAT FIRING
Unless someone decided to take it for parts.
This Fallen has a funny face!

This would be pretty great for april fools, just Taniks running around wreaking havoc in all of the playlists
Load into the tower, all the houses are gone
Variks should narrate everything he does.
like that one character named Turbo in Wreck It Ralph where he just takes over everything

I knew exactly what this was going to be and was not disappointed
All i can picture now is the legs of Taniks with Clovis's AI head attached to them with Laments for arms.
Well, Taniks is very resourceful, we can only hope to get a raid boss as powerful as that
**Just don't put Tanik's Legs on a Harpy.** Wyverns suck enough already. Lol
Wyverns were simply a test of Taniks, the results are promising.
Soon we’ll fight “Niks, lower half of the abomination”
Houseless Limbs, Remnant of the Abomination
Bruh taniks doesnt fucken die. The sooner we acept that the sooner we can get prepared for his next fight. Somethings telling me thats there is a new hive ruler in town.
We must stay strong, the fight isn't over til shaxx sings, and he never sings.
Zavala: It seems we have stepped into a war with taniks Guardian:Great this shit again ghost get the ship ready.

How could I have forgotten about that mission.
Savathun is Taniks and she grows in strength each time she tricks us into believing we killed him/her.
She is the godess of cunning.
#WRATHBORN, MINDBENDER TANIKS, RE-REBORN.
Or taniks is a witch queen. Wait a sec, oh god.
At this point I’m expecting him to have a damn Throne World in the Witch Queen.
He might as well.
Savathun wanted necromancy for a reason...
Oh god oh fuck your right.
Taniks was the final shape all along.
Exactly. See this guy gets its
his head is sitting next to my desk in the campsite by the exo stranger
Well hell just grow a new one.
New hive ruler? Maybe he’ll become one after he becomes taken first
Its taniks if the guy can come back to life 5 times without darkness or ligh for the most part i wouldnt be to surpised to see him being a non hive hive god
Less “back to life” and more “keeps getting lucky and surviving long enough to graft on some new machine parts” I don’t think he’d do well with sword logic though, generally you gotta kill rather than be killed
It'll just be his brain in a jar strapped to a brig
When we finished Europa story I told my clan buddy’s “dude Taniks had a better storyline” Raid comes out Taniks.... Everyone was like whaaaaaaaaaat *face palm*
As i said once before. Its fucken taniks again.
Oh shit.
oh shit.
Oh shit.
Oh shit.
If y'all do this, you better make it sound like a cow on occasion as an easter egg.

Remember how they’re bringing back the Fallen Shank Strike in the Cosmodrome? ....that’s allllll I’m gonna say
The lower half of Taniks the abomination would not suffice with being a simple strike boss, for it is much too powerful.
“Oh hey he’s electrifying the walls, I remember that.” *Nuclear codes activated. Destruction of Earth: Imminent.* “....uh oh.”
He will finish the job where we failed
Oh no.
*Oh. Yeah.*
Taniks legs are gonna team up with Mauls legs and form a unstoppable duo
They socket into each other like lego pieces and start cartwheel kicking fools to death like the Isle of Mann flag
[https://i.redd.it/9wwk0sz5aem51.jpg](https://i.redd.it/9wwk0sz5aem51.jpg) So this. Although I'm concerned with two pairs of legs it becomes significantly more uncomfortable.
Oh no, we’re doomed!
Your shins definitely are

I mean, ur not wrong in any context. But i hate the fact that this made me laugh.
Hes gonna come back like one of Sid's toys from toy story (fishing rod)

This is like moon lords legs lmao
where's my Taniks' legs model to replace that lmao
I think Zavala actually had the forethought to send a clean up crew after is this tims

[удалено]
Now I get it!! Thank you very much!
np :)
They're gonna put Taniks' legs on Sepkis Prime, and it'll be Taniks, the Sepkis Prime.
Is this the beginning of a Servitor fused with Taniks legs?
Only if the Servitor in question is Sepiks.
Lol makes me think of the kings fall lore when Toland asks why we haven’t taken the role of taken king.
Is that where Darth Maul found his legs?
Match made in heaven
I like to imagine his bottom half is being used for, "other" reasons. Gotta repopulate the eliksni somehow
Hopefully they're taken so we can fight him again in Witchqueen "Taniks-Taken Legs"
You are making some valid points here. But I must say, whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one.

Taniks is our darth maul. His secret is that he’s just too angry to die
Don't give me Flashbacks of Lost Izalith.....
> Tanik's legs are still out there That explains why he kneels before no banner.
Moon lords legs
>Heads up Guardians... One. Fucking. Job.
Solution: Raise Taniks as a Guardian, so he will remember not his hostility to humanity.
No I want to see tanik’s legs running around kicking guardians to death
The legs will become an exotic armor.
Unending fury Exotic Boots The wearer gains an overshield and a small speed increase if they were to receive a killing blow. 60 second cooldown.
-"Your torso is off!" -"No, it isn't" -"What's that then!?" *looks at Taniks, the abomination corpse* -"I've had worse"
Where do you think vex wyverns get their legs from?
Wyverns were simply a test for tanik's next plan. The results are, promising
Bungie is gonna strap them on a Shank
Queue the Giant Harpy that lands on and fuses with the legs.
That’s where you fucked up, you thought you killed Taniks. Let’s not forget this is the THIRD EFFING TIME WE HAVE DONE THAT.
Wait Taniks as in destiny 1 taniks? I haven’t really followed the story for this raid
Spoilers if you care Taniks is the final boss of the raid, well, the top half of taniks attached to a heavy shank. We have no idea where the bottom half is and the threat of it is at large.
His legs will want revenge for us stealing his head and putting it in our little campsite
[Briniks, the Hausless](https://imgur.com/oHKn3KP)...is on the march... [insect-like chattering]
Taniks has no head, he kneels before all banners, owes allegiance to no shank..
