Gorkall, the Gatekeeper

Gorkall, the Gatekeeper is a Dire Taken Taken Ogre and the final boss of Espial. It guards a Taken anchor on a radio tower on Hangman's Pass in the European Dead Zone. The Dire Taken wanted to use that anchor to pull the Ascendant Plane into Earth.

Encounter

In the first phase, Gorkall fires Arc blasts from the top of the tower while Dire Taken from the Blights assist it. Precision weapons such as Linear Fusions work best if you hit the crit spot in its eye. Stay at ground level, because its eye beams can push you off high platforms.

At 50% health, Gorkall gains an immunity shield and Taken rifts appear in the sky. Destroying the three rifts removes the shield, after which there are no further mechanics.

After the fight

A Taken portal opens in the arena. Guides differ on where it leads.
