'''Panoptes, Infinite Mind''' was a powerful [[Vex]] [[Hydra]] found within the [[Infinite Forest]] on [[Mercury]]. It was the [[Vex Mind]] that oversaw the simulated realities generated by the Infinite Forest and used them to shape the Vex's strategies in the "real" universe. Panoptes was the main antagonist of ''[[Curse of Osiris]]''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hST2F-0dD7s</ref>

Panoptes is completely invulnerable to damage unless shorted out with an Arc charge, upon which it will expose its vulnerable "eye". Although it does not utilize "conventional" Vex weaponry, it is capable of summoning simulated protectors (including simulated [[Vex]], [[Hive]], [[Fallen]] and [[Cabal]]) for defense, and can delete unwanted entities such as Guardians from the Infinite Forest at will.

Although it did not utilize "conventional" Vex weaponry, it was capable of summoning simulated protectors (including simulated [[Vex]], [[Hive]], [[Fallen]] and [[Cabal]]) for defense, and was able to delete unwanted entities such as Guardians from the Infinite Forest at will, albeit after a lengthy amount of uninterrupted focus.


The Infinite Mind won't attack the players directly, beside sending more simulated enemies. Once all of them are defeated, Osiris will prevent Panoptes from deleting the player a total of three times at most. However, the player has to move quickly in delivering the Arc Charge as Panoptes' deletion attack will slowly eat away at their health.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvAHUlZfnE</ref>

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The two main Vex Minds seen in the ''[[Curse of Osiris]]'' expansion, [[Argos,_Planetary_Core#Trivia|Argos]] and Panoptes, are named after the same character of Greek mythology. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_Panoptes Argus Panoptes] was a many-eyed giant who worked as a guardian and spy for the Olympian gods due to his ability to see everything at any time. The term "Panoptes" translates from Ancient Greek to "all-seeing".

*Certain elements of Panoptes' design grant it a strong resemblance to the appearance of [[Oryx, the Taken King]]; most notable among these are the "wings" on Panoptes' back, the wide and angular head with three small prongs or spikes, and the clawed arms. Given the Vex's past experience with Oryx, this resemblance may not be coincidental.

*Panoptes is the fourth Axis Mind Vex boss to be called by name. [[Sekrion, Nexus Mind]], [[Atheon, Time's Conflux]], and [[Brakion, Genesis Mind]] were first, second, and third respectively, with [[Quria, Blade Transform]] being the fifth.
*Panoptes is one of only two Hydras seen to have humanoid arms, the other being [[Quria, Blade Transform]].
*Panoptes is the first [[Hydra]] that has been observed to have arms and additional appendages.
*Panoptes is one of the only enemies encountered in Destiny to have no weapon, instead just abilities.
*Panoptes bears a strong resemblance to [[Quria, Blade Transform]].
**However their connection beyond being Axis Minds, if any, has yet to be shown.
