EPIC EPIC WANT. (Destiny)

But perhaps the most surprising was a Patrol mission I did on Earth. I picked up a VIP beacon and said, "Ok let me go kill this Vandal or Servitor in The Breach like always." So I go over there and walk through the entrance to find...no one. I'm pretty sure I had the exact reaction Bungie wanted me to.

Where is everybody?

I hear a roar, and--no shit! An archon, a full blown shielded Major Archon steps out of the sewer pipe! A boss! I mean, he died almost instantly since he was still a 2, but it was definitely something I hadn't expected! One of the most refreshing moments I ever remember feeling!

I'm REALLY hoping we can get more of those "Oh wow!" moments in future updates, and especially in the sequels to come.

Wait what? You mean in the same place where we see the archon in the very beginning or some totally different place? Still though that's boss.(Heh) How long ago was this?

It is the boss encounter shown during the Destiny gameplay reveal.

I need to make this happen.

I've come across this a few times... Every time it has been the second or third "target" patrol mission in a row. Sometimes I have picked one up in the Steppes (that leads to that part of the Divide) and after killing the servitor or vandal, I run back out to the divide and lucky enough to see one or even two more "target" options. I have never encountered the Archon on the first target mission in an instance - only if it's the second or third one in a row.
