Agioktis, Martyr Mind: Difference between revisions

|rank= [[Vex Mind]] <br> [[Ultra]]

'''Agioktis, Martyr Mind''' was a powerful [[Vex]] [[Hobgoblin]] and [[Vex Mind]], created for the purpose of draining the [[Light]] of [[Saint-14]]. It was encountered at [[Infinity's Siphon]], where it served as the final boss of the [[Corridors of Time Part 2]] [[Mission]].

Built by the Vex in desperation to counter a rampant Saint-14, the Mind would relentlessly hunt down the notorious [[Titan (class)|Titan]], who successfully destroyed the Mind, but not before it drained his Light, leaving him helpless for the Vex to finish him.<ref>'''Bungie (2017/12/5)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Curse of Osiris]], Item Description: [[Perfect Paradox]]''</ref> However, with the power of the [[Sundial]], the [[The Guardian|Guardian]] was capable of going back into [[Mercury]]'s [[Simulant Future]] to save him. After a skirmish with the Mind and its [[Descendants|Descendant]] back-up, the Mind would detain the Guardian instead. However, this released Saint-14 as a result, allowing him to crush the Vex mind using his [[Sentinel Shield]], putting an end to it once and for all.<ref>'''Bungie (2019/12/10)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of Dawn]], [[Corridors of Time Part 2]]''</ref>

 

Many years after its destruction, the planetoid of [[Nessus]] was undergoing a massive terraforming with the [[Maya Sundaresh|Conductor]] converting its [[Radiolaria|radiolaria]] for her own nefarious purposes. To track her location, Saint-14 needed to extrapolate data from the deceased version of himself located within a defunct [[Infinite Forest]] simulation of his tomb on Nessus's archive. Once [[Failsafe]] was able to lock onto the Conductor's location, she began rerouting the radiolaria to the Guardian's location. In doing so she tripped a security node within the simulation just as the Guardian escaped, recalling an alternate [[Precursors|Precursor]] variant called '''Agioktis, Archived Mind''' to their location alongside an army of Vex. The Vex Mind proved to be a formidable foe, but was once again ultimately destroyed by the Guardian.<ref>'''Bungie (2024/7/30)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Episode: Echoes]] - [[Mission: Shell]]''</ref>

Agioktis makes use of the same weaponry and battle tactics as [[Brakion, Genesis Mind]]. It is armed with a powerful [[Line Rifle]] as a primary means of offense and can fire a barrage of [[Void]] Bolts from its left arm. It can also summon red, cube-shaped fields that will release extremely volatile [[Seeker]] drones if you get too close. The Mind can detain any aggressor, trapping them in a bubble and stalling their progress. Agioktis will retreat behind a Vex shield barrier whenever a fourth of its health is lost but can still fire through at its opponent. Once behind its defense, it will summon a [[Shackled Minotaur]]. These [[Ultra]]s must be killed to retrieve the [[Arc]] Charge that they dropped, so that it could be deposited into a Vex [[Conflux]] holding the Martyr Mind's barrier. This process will have to be repeated three times throughout the boss fight. Once the third Charge has been placed, the now-headless Martyr Mind will teleport you into the detainment field but will be destroyed seconds later by Saint.

 

*Agioktis is the fourth [[Vex Mind]] the Guardians encountered that possesses the form of a Hobgoblin. [[Xegonion, Warped Mind]], [[Brakion, Genesis Mind]] and [[Replicant Mind, Proxy]] being the first, second, and third, respectively.

**However, it is the second to be giant-sized, after Brakion.

*Agioktis's name is derived from the Greek word "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agios#Greek Agios]," meaning "sacred" or "saint." This is a homage to Saint-14 himself, and the supposed respect for him that the Vex developed.

*Martyr means: to be executed, or disdained, because of having a different belief. Agioktis's title fits its purpose, as it was created for the purpose of killing Saint-14, whose Light and relentless strength were something the Vex did not understand.
