"I've killed enough of you to end a war. And you took my Light. I guess that makes us even. What are you waiting for? Last words? Finish it, you cowards."

— Saint-14

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. Years later, it would be encountered again on Nessus as Agioktis, Archived Mind, using a Minotaur chassis and having been drawn from Nessus' archives of defunct data in order to stop the Guardian and Saint-14 from pursuing Maya Sundaresh.

Biography

Built by the Vex in desperation to counter a rampant Saint-14, the Mind would relentlessly hunt down the notorious Titan, who successfully destroyed the Mind, but not before it drained his Light, leaving him helpless for the Vex to finish him. However, with the power of the Sundial, the Guardian was capable of going back into Mercury's Simulant Future to save him. After a skirmish with the Mind and its 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.

Many years after its destruction, the planetoid of Nessus was undergoing a massive terraforming with the Conductor converting its 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 in 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 Minotaur 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.

Gameplay

Corridors of Time Part 2

Agioktis is encountered at Infinity's Siphon in Corridors of Time Part 2. After you meet up with Saint-14, he will be detained in a Vex prison and the Martyr Mind will arrive, beginning the boss fight.

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 Ultras 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.

Mission: Shell

Agioktis, Archived Mind is encountered in the Planetary Depths after you witness Saint-14 retrieve the data that Failsafe needs to bring the Conductor to their location from the Simulation Corridor. Bearing the frame of a Minotaur and wielding a Slap Rifle, Agioktis is capable of firing at the Guardian with rapid speed and is assisted by swarms of Vex units during the encounter. To deal high damage against the Archived Mind, the Guardian must fire at the head of the Minotaur rather than the chest that is most commonly the area of vulnerability for a Vex. Moreover, Failsafe will also manifest platforms that the Guardian can use to take cover from Agioktis. The platforms will continually vanish over the course of the encounter as new ones begin to apparate. Upon losing around four fifths of its health, Agioktis will lose its head and it will begin to fight more aggressively during the battle. Once Agioktis, Archived Mind is destroyed the final encounter of the mission is complete.

Trivia

• Agioktis is the second giant-sized Hobgoblin the Guardians have encountered. The first being Brakion, Genesis Mind.
  • Agioktis is also the first Vex seen changing class between appearances. Going from a Hobgoblin chassis to a Minotaur.
• Agioktis's name is derived from the Greek word "Agios," meaning "sacred" or "saint." This is a homage to Saint-14 himself, and the supposed respect for him that the Vex developed.
• Being a 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. And that it ultimately died to defeat Saint-14, regardless of if the Guardian interfered or not.
