Upon reaching the | Upon reaching the reactor core of the Ares Spire, [[The Guardian|the Guardian]] will see Persys attempting to overload the reactor. Any stray shot hitting its chassis or getting too close will instigate the encounter, causing Persys to turn around and begin approaching the team. Upon Persys entering the main room, the door it came through will shut and [[Vex]] reinforcements will arrive, which includes legions of [[Goblin]]s, flocks of [[Supplicant]]s, and two [[Incarcerator Hydra]]s, one being on each side. Upon the destruction of the Hydras, [[Conduit Minotaur]]s will begin spawning where the Hydras spawned. These must be destroyed to get the "Arctrician" buff. Then the [[Guardian]](s) with the buff must quickly shoot all five nodes for the red wires, with four being on each of the four main pillars and the fifth being right above the gate where Persys walked through at the start. Upon completion of this, the gate and the yellow wire nodes will open. Two yellow wire paths must be completed, and upon completion, the reactor will begin purging. Persys must be lured into the reactor core room, or the purge sequence will deactivate. Doing this before completion of the second yellow wire path is advised. | ||
While Persys is in the core room, the red nodes will open again, allowing them to be shot and the gate to once again be closed, sealing Persys inside. Once the core finishes charging and begins to purge, Persys will be forced to absorb the dispersed radiation, deactivating its shield and dealing minor damage to it, along with causing the gate to open again. Persys will then begin to charge the team, now vulnerable, for about ten seconds before it reactivates its shield and the cycle repeats until it is destroyed. | While Persys is in the core room, the red nodes will open again, allowing them to be shot and the gate to once again be closed, sealing Persys inside.

==Strategies== | |||
The biggest threat of Persys' encounter is rarely Persys itself, more the small army it summons. The use of crowd control weapons like [[Malfeasance]], [[Osteo Striga]], and [[Witherhoard]] are heavily recommended. Along with easy access to healing and invisibility such as through the Echo of Obscurity aspect on the [[Void]] subclasses which allows for invisibility on a successful finisher. Combining this with Echo of Starvation, which grants Devour upon picking up an [[Orb of Power]] and a weapon that matches a Siphon helmet mod will ensure constant lost health recovery, however burst damage such as from Hydra and Minotaur [[Torch Hammer]]s and Persys' own [[Warp Lance]]s can be an issue. | |||
Unlike most of the dungeon, one cannot take their time with this encounter as the constant Supplicant flocks causing immense damage and Goblins preventing passive health regen cause losing less through failure to do the mechanics, but instead through attrition. Speed and evasion is key to avoiding the Supplicants and Persys' gravity slam. [[Void]] weapons are the most useful as Minotaurs are the only elementally shielded enemy in this encounter so a void shotgun or [[The Enigma]], a Void elemental [[glaive]], are very useful for tearing through a Minotaur before they wipe one's health out with their torch hammers and warp smashes. | |||
To damage Persys, there are various strategies employable depending on character class. Due to the short damage phase, high burst damage weapons such as Izanagis with Auto-Loading Holster rockets are advised. Weapons that require precision are not advised as Persys' weak point is small and often gets covered by Persys' body when staggered. If playing as a Warlock, one might utilise Fusion grenades, a demolitionist rocket launcher and a Well of Radiance to maximum effect. Throwing both Fusion grenade charges, then firing the rocket launcher while within the Well, should provide enough Empowered damage to recharge at least one Fusion grenade. Alternating between throwing grenades, reloading and firing the rocket launcher will allow fast and easy burst damage to be performed. | |||
