'''Akelous, the Siren's Current''' is a [[Vex]] [[Harpy]] of the [[Sol Divisive]] encountered as the first boss of the [[Spire of the Watcher]] [[Dungeon]]. It is one of the two Sol Divisive minds sent by [[The Witness]] to infiltrate the [[Ares Spire]] and send it into overload after stealing its data.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Spire of the Watcher]]''</ref> 

==Gameplay==
Akelous is encountered holding a [[Minotaur]] suspended in the air. Moving closer will make it drop the unit and begin the fight. The Harpy will move to one of the corners of the tower, where it will proceed to open up fully and open fire with its many [[Harpy Slap Rifle]]s in a Smite attack. If no players are in range, it will move to a corner closer to them, possibly even teleporting if too far. Once all the fuel rods are activated, Akelous will fly to the last one activated and open up fully, revealing its eyes, and begin rotating its plates. Players should destroy these eyes to take off the Harpy's armor, making it vulnerable to damage, as well as delay its Repulsion blast, which can blow them off the tower to their death. Once Akelous is stripped of its coverings, it will retreat backwards towards the center of the spire, where it will ultimately unleash its Repulsion blast and overcharge its shields again.

==Trivia==
*Akelous' appearance is based off of the [[Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent]], another Sol Divisive Harpy.  When its armor has been completely blasted off, it resembles [[Theosyion, the Restorative Mind|Theosyion, Restorative Mind]].
*Akelous' idle animation may imply that it has been infusing Minotaurs to turn them into [[Conduit Minotaur]]s.
*Akelous' title of 'the Siren's Current' is a reference to Sirens, monsters in Greek mythology known to use their singing to lure sailors to their deaths. Based on what [[Osiris]] says in combination with this, it can be assumed that the Mind's purpose is to lure the Subminds to trap them within the [[Ares Spire]].
