Myriad Hunters

Myriad (Fifth Lance, First Combat Element, Hordeworms of Svir) is the high value target boss (Nr 14 on the target list) that you need to kill to obtain the upgraded version of the Cindershot. It is recommended to take a flying vehicle to take out all the other enemies there. Once all the other enemies are dead it is time to focus on the high value target. They both have a buttload of health and deal insane damage. This high value target is the most dangerous of all 15, after all they have killed two full Spartan-IV fireteams!

Recent reports on the Lekogolo species have revealed some rather interesting – and in some cases – unsettling – observations, in particular related to the strain of combat-ready forms known as mgalekgolo, We’ve noticed a behavioral evolution in scattered instances trending towards a more individualized identity and intelligence, rather than simply an order-following hivemind.

We encountered this in recent years with the Swarmlords that served alongside a dangerous independent faction fo ex-Covenant evocati led by Ke ‘Nzahz, as well as classified reports of a bond-pair known simply as Colony. Our current attentions have turned towards a unified bond-pair called Myriad. Single-handedly responsible for the deaths of two S-IV fireteams, myriad represents not only an immediate danger to UNSC forces, but also another dangerous precedent in the species evolution.
