'''Akelous, the Siren's Current''' is a [[Vex]] [[Harpy]] of the [[Sol Divisive]] encountered as the first boss of the [[Spire of the Watcher]] [[Dungeon]]. It is one of the two Sol Divisive minds sent by [[The Witness]] to infiltrate the [[Ares Spire]] and send it into overload after stealing its data.<ref>'''Bungie (2022/12/9)''', ''[[Destiny 2]]: [[Season of the Seraph]] - [[Spire of the Watcher]]''</ref> 

==Gameplay==
Akelous is encountered holding a [[Minotaur]] suspended in the air. Moving closer will make it drop the unit and begin the fight. The Harpy will move to one of the corners of the tower, where it will proceed to open up fully and open fire with its many [[Harpy Slap Rifle]]s in a Smite attack. If no players are in range, it will move to a corner closer to them, possibly even teleporting if too far. Once all the fuel rods are activated, Akelous will fly to the last one activated and open up fully, revealing its eyes, and begin rotating its plates. Players should destroy these eyes to take off the Harpy's armor, making it vulnerable to damage, as well as delay its Repulsion blast, which can blow them off the tower to their death. Once Akelous is stripped of its coverings, it will retreat backwards towards the center of the spire, where it will ultimately unleash its Repulsion blast and overcharge its shields again.

==Trivia==
*Akelous' appearance is similar to the [[Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent]], another Sol Divisive Harpy.  When its armor has been completely blasted off, it resembles [[Theosyion, the Restorative Mind|Theosyion, Restorative Mind]].
*In Greek myth, Akelous (also spelt as Achelous) was known as a river God and father of the Sirens, creatures that used their singing to lure sailors to their deaths. The action taken by Akelous before beginning their fight may be the conversion of Minotaurs into [[Conduit Minotaur]]s. This means the Conduit Minotaurs could be considered the Sirens, and Akelous their "father". The theme of controlling Arc energy and the capturing of subminds in the Dungeon's story appears to be based upon these Greek mythological origins.
*It's possible to disrupt Akelous by dealing enough damage, which cancels its Repulsion attack.
