'Rise of Iron' remixes the very first Strike in 'Destiny'
Destiny: Rise of Iron returns to the Devil's Lair, home of Sepiks Prime.
For many fans of Destiny, The Devil's Lair is the first cooperative Strike mission they ever played. Strikes are meant to provide a stiffer challenge than the game's story missions, with mini-boss and boss fights that often hinge on some kind of trick or unique mechanic.
In Rise of Iron, The Devil's Lair is remixed with a new title: Sepiks Perfected. The reborn boss first appears at the end of Rise's first story mission, but you don't get to blast it to pieces until you take on the Strike.
The perfected Sepiks isn't all that's new in this remixed Strike. In keeping with Rise of Iron's story focus, the mission is filled with SIVA-infected Fallen. It's still one of Destiny's shorter and easier Strikes, but the remixed boss brings along some new tricks.
Check out a full playthrough of the Strike in the video up top and play it yourself with Destiny: Rise of Iron comes to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Sept. 20.
