Something dark stirs in the depths of the Hellmouth. We can feel it. A Hive abomination bred for unthinkable evil. We must pierce the veil of their Summoning Pits and destroy this creature...before the Hive unleash it upon us all.

The Summoning Pits is a Level 12 Strike located on the Moon, deep within the Hellmouth. The fireteam's objective is to kill the enormous Ogre named Phogoth, the Untamed. In the Rise of Iron expansion, the Strike was revamped, now named The Abomination Heist. Phogoth, the Untamed is a Hive Ogre imprisoned deep within the Moon, held in its chamber by great chains. It is a boss of The Summoning Pits Strike mission.

When encountered by Guardians, Phogoth breaks free from its chains and attacks, using both its brutal strength and arcane abilities in an attempt to slay the intruders. Unlike most Ogres, Phogoth's weak spot is the pulsating tumor on its chest. This weak spot can be difficult to hit when Phogoth is hunched over.
