"This is about simple vengeance assistant. Brakion, the Genesis Mind, converted my arm and changed my life forever. I want it dead."
Asher Mir

Brakion, Genesis Mind is an Ultra Hobgoblin that serves as the main boss of The Pyramidion Strike in Destiny 2. It was the Axis Mind in charge of the Pyramidion on Io until it met its end by the Guardians. Prior to that, it previously grafted Vex technology onto the arm and Ghost of Asher Mir following a failed expedition into the Pyramidion.

Gameplay

Brakion will enter the arena when the plate in front of it is stood on for long enough. It will open fire with its Line Rifle and occasionally follow up with Void flame projectiles that create a circle of purple fire upon impact. After its health has been reduced by a third, it will teleport to another location; it will be immune while teleporting. It will then surround itself in a Vex barrier that can only be disabled by capturing a Sync Plate. Other Vex will defend this plate, so killing them all is advised. Brakion is able to shoot through this barrier. After captuing this Sync Plate, Brakion will resume it attack, but will teleport to another corner and put up another Vex Barrier shortly after. Once the barriers have been disabled, Brakion will assault the player directly, and will eventually enter berserk mode. It will remain in this state until it is defeated.

Trivia

  • Brakion is the second Axis Mind that has the appearance of a Hobgoblin, instead of a Minotaur, Hydra, or a Harpy, the first being Xegonion, Warped Mind.
    • In addition, Brakion is the second boss whose appearance changes when critically damaged. The first being Protheon.
    • When Brakion's head is shot off its weak point is shifted to its chest and on the back of its chest is a small window that shows a weak point.
  • Brakion is the second Vex boss to be called by name. The first was Atheon when he was called by name during Destiny's Age of Triumph.
  • Brakion’s name could be derived from the Latin word bracchium, which means arm or branch. This may be 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.
