Argos, Planetary Core is a massive Vex Axis Mind that was found within the Leviathan's core. It is a massive unique Hydra whose size is comparable to Panoptes, Infinite Mind, and it is the final boss of the Leviathan, Eater of Worlds Raid Lair.[1]
Overview
While Leviathan consumes chunks of Nessus to convert into Royal Wine for the emperor,[2] , the titular Planetary Core was sucked into the Leviathan's belly alongside squadrons of Vex, to which the Vex Mind generated a massive barrier surrounding it and the nearby debris from the planet. Argos' barrier quickly began to clog up the Leviathan's massive vacuum and stalled its engine.
Meanwhile, a curious fireteam of Guardians stumbled their way aboard the Leviathan where they decided to branch off their natural surroundings to navigate the massive engine beneath it. Taking notice of the group of Guardians within the ship engine, Emperor Calus calls off his Loyalists and invites them to destroy the fearsome Vex mind. The raid team makes their way into the belly of the beast, where they exposed Argos from its outer casing using the cranium weapons leftover by its Vex brethren. Argos' destruction would caused its barrier to dissipate and the ship's engine threatening to consume the debris, including the Guardians. Calus would intervene and transmat them to safety, whereafter he would reward them for their tenacity in destroying the Vex responsible.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
- Argos is the third largest Raid boss, behind Oryx, the Taken King, and Riven.
- It is unknown if Argos was the core of Nessus, or the core of a Vex world previously consumed by the Leviathan. If it hailed from Nessus, then its destruction likely stopped or at least temporarily halted the conversion of Nessus.
- Argos is one of few raid bosses that has multiple encounters. Among them being Aksis, Archon Prime, Vosik, the Archpriest, Insurrection Prime, Kell's Scourge and Consecrated Mind, Sol Inherent.
