In Destiny, the “Rise of Iron” update brings revamped Strikes. One of them is Sepiks Primus, which will now become Sepiks Perfected.
First things first: This article is full of spoilers. If you want to explore all the content of “The Dawning of the Iron Lords” on your own, you should close this article immediately. Once the heavy spoilers come, we will clearly mark it.
The upcoming autumn expansion “Rise of Iron” will introduce a new Strike called “The Wretched Eye” along with several revamped Strikes. One of them is Sepiks Perfected, the “Sepiks Primus” Strike with a new coat. This information has been known for quite some time. However, numerous videos from YouTubers showcasing the entire Strike have recently appeared online. Bungie invited the Guardians to present them with snippets of RoI.
While the revamped Strikes from “The Taken King” were mostly just enemies replaced by Taken, Sepiks Perfected underwent a significantly larger overhaul.
And now the big spoilers begin. Decide for yourself whether you want to scroll down further.
The Splicers and the Hive Break In
The entire Strike is now characterized by the SIVA outbreak and the Splicers. You will find several red SIVA nodes that need to be destroyed, as well as cut and scorched metal – the work of the Splicers.
However, Sepiks Perfected is not a completely new Strike. The milestones from Sepiks Primus are still recognizable. Especially in the first few minutes, the action plays out almost exactly like in the previously known Strike. You fight against the Hive and instead of Fallen, you fight against Splicers.
A significant new feature can be found where the big Devil Walker usually appears, the “Spider”, which you have to shoot its legs off. Here, it seems that there is variety in RoI: Sometimes the Hive breaks in at this spot and brings wild ogres, and in another clip, a “Perfected Walker” appears, similar to the Devil Walker, but this time in the SIVA version.
The final battle is fought against Sepiks Perfected. This final boss is also a hovering orb that you have to shoot in the eye. However, Sepiks occasionally generates a shield around himself that can only be destroyed with a weapon that a Captain carries. So: destroy the Captain, grab the weapon, shoot down the shield (you only have one shot, but Sepiks is relatively easy to hit), and then deal damage to the boss again.
The First Story Mission in “Rise of Iron”
Along with gameplay for the revamped Strike, videos of the complete first story mission are also circulating. In this mission, you ascend Felwinter Peak and reclaim it from the Fallen. Up there, a big boss is waiting for you. If you want to spoil yourself, you can find a video here:
