Pathetos, the Witnessed Mind is a massive Taken Hydra deployed by a mysterious force, eventually revealed to be The Witness, to hijack the Vex network in an effort to spread their influence across the Vex Machine worlds. It is one of two bosses that can be encountered in the remastered Nexus Strike for Destiny 2.
During the Final Shape, the Witnessed Mind would, once again, show up to menace the Nexus in order to subvert the Vex, in addition to opening the way for and ensuring the Final Shape afflicts all the Vex as well irregardless of what timestream they come from, only for it to, once more, be slain by a Guardian Strike team.
Gameplay[edit]
Much like it's predecessor, Pathetos will remain in the center of the arena, but will maneuver around to get a better angle at any Guardians in cover, and it's Taken Aeon Maul fires slower, but deals significant blighted Solar damage instead of Void. On top of its newer capabilities, Pathetos is also capable of firing off Darkness Bolts at its adversaries. Upon reaching a certain damage threshold, Pathetos will coat itself in a blighted immune shield, all the while continuing to engage the Guardian fireteam. In order to eliminate the immune shield, Guardians must collect a Taken Essence from a Blighted Subroutine and use its super function against Pathetos in order to sunder the Mind's shield. Upon doing so, however, it will activate Taken Rifts across the arena in order to knock around its Guardian adversaries and potentially kill them. Additionally, Pathetos will also respawn explosive Defensive Wards, debilitating Blight Spheres and Acolytes Eyes to keep its opponents on their toes (number spawned and respawn frequency is dialed down on higher difficulties).
