With the ancient Mind under threat by the Light-bearing intruders, swarms of Precursors are summoned to defend it with a massive [[Divisive Oculator]] barring the way. The Guardians kills the [[Cyclops]] and its Precursor army as they proceed to an open Vex gateway and disrupt the nearby [[Conflux|Confluxes]].

The Undying Mind is a unique Hydra in that it has three shields instead of one. When it first spawns, the passage which the player came from will be blocked, ensuring that there is no escape. It also has the ability to "detonate" when a Guardian gets too close, instantly killing them, and can summon endless waves of reinforcements, and while doing so, two vertical confluxes will send out blinding waves of energy to disorient [[ | The Undying Mind is a unique Hydra in that it has three shields instead of one.
