"The Vex have restarted their world-eating machine in a bid to restore their Nexus. In time, Venus will be consumed—"

"And listen to this! Scouts report that the Vex have upgraded the Nexus Mind with tech from the Vault of Glass."

"Do you need something, Cayde?"

"No! Just here to support my favorite Guardian."

"I'm sure. Let's take that Nexus Mind apart." - Ikora Rey and Cayde-6

Mechanics

This encounter will feature one of two sets of mechanics depending on the enemies that players have faced en route to the boss.

Taken mechanics

In this version of the encounter, the boss will periodically gain a shield that nullifies incoming damage from all sources. Whenever this happens, a Relic known as the Aegis will appear somewhere in the arena. One player must collect the Aegis. Upon doing so, said player's Super meter will fill extremely quickly; when it is full, the player must take aim at the boss and use the charged Super ability to launch a bolt of light. Doing so will break the boss' shield and inflict significant damage. This mechanic will repeat until the boss has been defeated.

Vex mechanics

In this version of the encounter, the boss will periodically use an arena-wide ability that inflicts players with blindness. This ability has a short charging animation and is accompanied by pop-up text that reads, "Marked for Negation. Whenever this occurs, two pools of light will appear in fixed locations around the perimeter of the arena. Stepping into either of these pools will remove the debuff. This mechanic will repeat until the boss has been defeated.

Note that in both mechanics, additional enemies will enter the arena as the boss' HP is depleted.
