Forum:Pathetos, the Witnessed Mind

Pathetos, the Witnessed Mind is a massive Taken Hydra deployed by a mysterious force to hijack the Vex network in an effort to spread their influence across the Vex Machine worlds. It is the boss of the remastered Nexus Strike for Destiny 2.

Gameplay
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 Aeon Maul fires considerably faster and deals blighted Solar damage instead of Void. Pathetos also incorporates the Subverted Mind's mechanics of utilizing the Aegis's Super attack to bring down it's immune Vex Shield. However, uniquely, indicated by an animation similar to the Templar's Ritual of Negation animation, Pathetos will trap all players in a Detainment bubble and slowly damage them with the Suppression Field debuff, which can easily be escaped from, however, will leave prisoners exposed to incoming damage. Additionally, Pathetos will also respawn Defensive Wards, debilitating Blight Spheres and Acolytes Eyes to keep it's opponents on their toes (number spawned and respawn frequency is dialed down on higher difficulties).
