Panoptes, Infinite Mind: Difference between revisions

Panoptes was completely invulnerable to damage unless shorted out with an Arc charge, upon which it exposed its vulnerable "eye". Although it did not utilize "conventional" Vex weaponry, it was capable of summoning simulated protectors (including simulated [[Vex]], [[Hive]], [[Fallen]] and [[Cabal]]) for defense, and was able to delete unwanted entities such as Guardians from the Infinite Forest at will, albeit after a lengthy amount of uninterrupted focus.

The Infinite Mind wouldn't attack the players directly, besides sending more simulated enemies. Once all of them were defeated, Osiris would prevent Panoptes from deleting the player a total of three times at most. The player had to move quickly in delivering the Arc Charge as Panoptes' deletion attack would slowly eat away at their health.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yvAHUlZfnE</ref>

*The two main Vex Minds seen in the ''[[Curse of Osiris]]'' expansion, [[Argos,_Planetary_Core#Trivia|Argos]] and Panoptes, were named after the same character in Greek mythology. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_Panoptes Argus Panoptes] was a many-eyed giant who worked as a guardian and spy for the Olympian gods due to his ability to see everything at any time; the term "Panoptes" translates from Ancient Greek to "all-seeing".

*Certain elements of Panoptes' design granted it a strong resemblance to the appearance of [[Oryx, the Taken King]]; most notable among these are the "wings" on Panoptes' back, the wide and angular head with three small prongs or spikes, and the clawed arms. Given the Vex's past experience with Oryx, this resemblance may not be coincidental.

*Panoptes is one of only two Hydras seen to have humanoid arms, the other being [[Quria, Blade Transform]].
