An undetermined amount of time passes within the Garden as it and the Vex within lies patiently in wait for the [[Darkness]] to return power to them both. During then, the inactive Undying Mind became buried in a barrow of flora growing around it. During the events of "''[[Shadowkeep Campaign|Shadowkeep]]''", however, Darkness returns to the realm in the form of the [[Pyramids]], which have sent an distant pulse throughout the Black Garden enpowering it yet again. The Undying Mind likewise wakes from its barrow in response as well. With their faith rewarded, [[Goblin]]s write more circuits to weld to the Mind, building it up to take advantage of its newfound power.<ref name="Realis">'''Bungie (2019/10/09)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Undying]]'', ''[[Lore]]: [[Lore:Aspect|Aspect]] - [[Lore:Aspect#Realis|Realis]]''</ref> <ref name="Irrealis">'''Bungie (2019/10/09)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Undying]]'', ''[[Lore]]: [[Lore:Aspect|Aspect]] - [[Lore:Aspect#Irrealis|Irrealis]]''</ref> | An undetermined amount of time passes within the Garden as it and the Vex within lies patiently in wait for the [[Darkness]] to return power to them both.

The Undying Mind is a unique Hydra in that it has three shields instead of one. When it first spawns, the passage which the player came from will be blocked, ensuring that there is no escape. It also has the ability to "detonate" when a Guardian gets too close, instantly killing them, and can summon endless waves of reinforcements, and while doing so, two vertical confluxes will send out blinding waves of energy to disorient [[Guardians]]. It is otherwise functionally identical to Hydras in that it is capable of blasting through a Guardian's shield very quickly with its [[Aeon Maul]]. | The Undying Mind is a unique Hydra in that it has three shields instead of one.

*Despite the Undying Mind being part of the Sol Divisive, [[Precursors]] are seen protecting it in [[Destiny|Destiny 1]]. This may show the desperation of the Vex to keep the Undying Mind active as to bring forth models from other times to protect it. | *Despite the Undying Mind being part of the Sol Divisive, [[Precursors]] are seen protecting it in [[Destiny|Destiny 1]].
