The new Strike in 'Destiny: Rise of Iron' has an unkillable boss
"The Wretched Eye" is the one and only new Strike in Destiny: Rise of Iron. If you're reading this now, it's also your first look at the add-on's new Plaguelands setting.
The Strike tasks fireteams with venturing into the murky depths of the Plaguelands, where a high priest from the House of Devils -- the Fallen sub-faction responsible for unleashing Rise of Iron's SIVA threat -- is up to no good.
This high priest wants to raise an army of Hive, the foe that was at the center of Destiny's 2015 add-on, The Taken King. To disrupt those plans, you need to fight your way through a series of abandoned missile silos that have been overrun with SIVA-infected Fallen.
The Strike ends with one of the more unusual boss fights in Destiny. Your target is the Fallen High Priest, but there's a rampaging Hive Ogre to contend with as well.
The catch is that the Ogre is immune to all damage. It doesn't have the standard Ogre's trademark eye beam -- thankfully -- so it just wanders around the arena, punching anything that gets too close.
The boss fight plays out in a large, open arena and is similar in some ways to the boss fights from The Nexus or The Summoning Pits, both of which were prominent during the first year of Destiny's life.
Check out the full Strike in the video above and play it yourself when Destiny: Rise of Iron launches for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Sept. 20.
