'''Brakion, Genesis Mind''' | '''Brakion, Genesis Mind''' was an Ultra [[Hobgoblin]] that served as the [[Axis Mind]] of the [[Pyramidion]] on [[Io]] and was the main boss of the [[The Pyramidion|aforementioned]] [[Strike]] in ''[[Destiny 2]]''. However, it and its strike were vaulted with the release of [[Beyond Light]]. | ||

It reconfigured reality within the Vex structure to halt a failed Guardian expedition attempting to invade the Pyramidion, led by [[Asher Mir]] whom Brakion captured at the shores of a radiolarian lake. It subjected the captive Asher and his team to experiments injecting radiolaria and grafting Vex technology; some which converted the latter's arm and [[Ghost]] into Vex constructs before he could escape. | ||
Years later, another fireteam of Guardians guided by [[Ikora Rey]] and an extremely vengeful Asher Mir entered into Pyramidion despite heavy Vex resistance and leftover [[Taken]] from [[Ir Arok, Tongue of Quria]]'s excursion.

Upon delving into the self-criticality of the synthoneural terminus, they summon Brakion and put an immediate end to the Vex mind much to Asher's satisfaction. | ||

Brakion | Brakion entered the arena when the plate in front of it is stood on for long enough. Brakion immediately opened fire with its Line Rifle and would occasionally follow up with Void flame projectiles that create a circle of purple fire upon impact. After its health had been reduced by a third, it would teleport to another location and would be immune while teleporting. It would then surround itself in a Vex barrier that can only be disabled by capturing a [[Sync Plate]] as other Vex attempt to defend the plates along with Brakion being capable of shooting through this barrier as well. After capturing both Sync Plates, Brakion would resume its attack, but would teleport to another corner and put up another Vex Barrier shortly after. Once both barriers had been disabled, Brakion would assault the player directly, and would eventually enter berserk mode once its head was shot off. In Berserk mode, it will fire its Line Rifle in three-shot bursts. It would remain in this state until it was defeated. | ||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*Brakion | *Brakion was the second [[Axis Mind]] that had the appearance of a [[Hobgoblin]], instead of a [[Minotaur]], [[Hydra]], or a [[Harpy]], the first being [[Xegonion, Warped Mind]] and the third being [[Agioktis, Martyr Mind]]. | ||
** | **In addition, Brakion was the second boss whose appearance changed when critically damaged. The first being [[Protheon]]. | ||
**When Brakion's head | **When Brakion's head was shot off its weak point was shifted to its chest and on the back of its chest is a small window that showed a weak point. | ||
*Brakion | *Brakion was the second Vex boss to be called by name. The first was [[Atheon, Time's Conflux|Atheon]] when it was called by name during [[Destiny]]'s [[Age of Triumph]]. | ||
* | *Brakion's name could have been derived from the Latin word bracchium, which means arm or branch. This could've been an allusion to the Pyramidion's connection to the [[Infinite Forest]], or a somewhat humorous allusion to the fact that Brakion is responsible for converting [[Asher Mir]]'s arm. | ||
* | *If Brakion's head was broken before he entered an invulnerable state, he would enter a berserker rage, moving through his shield while remaining invulnerable. This made defeating him significantly more difficult. | ||
