Qodron, Gate Lord is a Vex Minotaur and the boss of the Prison of Elders challenge The Forever Eater. Unlike the other prisoners, Qodron and its minions came to the prison deliberately, foreseeing a glorious future for itself that could only be achieved by killing a "Light" (possibly the Guardian) that was destined to appear in the prison.

Gameplay

Qodron itself is fairly similar to Zydron, Gate Lord in that it has a weak spot in its chest and mainly uses its Torch Hammer to attack. However, it also uses the detainment ability used by the Templar, and will detain all three guardians every 45-50 seconds. These detainment bubbles can be destroyed but take a bit of firepower and will drain the health of any Guardians inside, although there is a Goblin roaming around the arena called Qodron's Eye, which, upon killing it, grants that person the Jailbreaker buff, allowing them to destroy detainment bubbles more quickly. This buff lasts for 30 seconds and will only be granted to the player who killed the Eye.

Trivia

• Qodron is the second Gate Lord to appear, the first being Zydron, Gate Lord.
• Qodron, like Zyron, is pitch black in coloration. This may be the color marking a Gate Lord.
• Since Qodron and its forces came to the prison deliberately this may imply that certain Vex minds have their own mindset.
• In Qodron's grimmore card and during his fight it has some kind of black aura coming off of it. This may be Darkness as the Vex worship the Darkness itself. Another explanation may be that the developers added the aura so players could distinguish the difference between Zydron and Qodron in the Grimmore cards and to keep consistency, added the aura in Qodron's battle.
