'''Panoptes, Infinite Mind''' | '''Panoptes, Infinite Mind''' is a massive, powerful [[Vex]] [[Hydra]] found within the [[Infinite Forest]] on [[Mercury]]. It is an [[Axis Mind]] that oversees the simulated realities generated by the Infinite Forest and uses them to shape the Vex's strategies in the "real" universe. It is the main antagonist of ''[[Curse of Osiris]]''.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hST2F-0dD7s</ref> | ||
== | ==Overview== | ||
Panoptes | Panoptes is housed within a unique Vex armature, resembling a massive [[Hydra]] chassis with an angular "head", two arms resembling those of a bipedal Vex unit, wing-like appendages, and numerous glowing [[Harpy]] "tentacles". Many components of its body float independently of one another. Panoptes was one of the first Vex who came to Mercury and converted it from a garden world to a Vex Machine World. [[Sagira]] used this origin point to locate Panoptes’ lair by projecting time forward, identifying [[Infinity’s Crown]] as the location within the Infinite realities that the Vex Mind could be found.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssTSWIDNpJU</ref> | ||
It | It is Panoptes that directs the Vex's efforts into turning reality into what they desire: a future where the Vex reign supreme, [[Light]] and [[The Darkness|Darkness]] no longer exist and other lifeforms are destroyed. As such, the exiled Guardian, [[Osiris]], has worked continuously to prevent this future but only managed to slow its progress. However, Panoptes' plans enters a new phase after the Traveler's awakening and cornering Osiris, forcing the exile to spirit his Ghost Sagira to seek aid. That aid turned out to be [[The Guardian]] who begins to disrupt Panoptes' efforts.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvAHUlZfnE</ref> | ||
When Sagira was able to locate its lair, Panoptes | When Sagira was able to locate its lair, Panoptes captures her to keep the Guardian from reaching it. Ultimately, the Guardina still manages to penetrate the Forest andconfront the powerful Axis Mind. Even though they are able to defeat legions of its simulated protectors, they are unable to harm Panoptes itself. Just when Panoptes is about to delete the Guardian, Osiris himself and many of his Reflections intervene, stopping the Axis Mind from completing the deletion and provides Arc Charges to disrupt Panoptes' defenses, forcing it to reveal its "eye", its only weak point. With Osiris' aid, the Guardian manages to damage and then destroy the Infinite Mind forever, freeing Sagira and preventing the dark future from ever occurring. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvAHUlZfnE</ref> | ||
With the Infinite Mind | With the Infinite Mind gone, the Vex have been left crippled and weakened but remain a threat that the Guardians and Osiris continue to fight together. Various efforts of the Vex to salvage themselves from Panoptes' defeat have been stopped, thanks to the Guardian's efforts.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvAHUlZfnE</ref> | ||
==Gameplay== | ==Gameplay== | ||
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. | Panoptes is completely invulnerable to damage unless shorted out with an Arc charge, upon which it will expose its vulnerable "eye".

While the Infinite Mind won't attack the players directly besides sending more simulated enemies, once all them are defeated, Orisis will prevent Panaoptes 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> | |||

*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 | *The term "Panoptes" translates 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. | *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.
