Destiny 2: Conquer the Sanctified Mind - Garden of Salvation (2024)

Conquer the Sanctified Mind in Garden of Salvation.

Conquer the Sanctified Mind is an Objective in Garden of Salvation.

Description[edit]

Portal Team/Rotations - Pairs of Guardians that will head into the Orange and Blue Portals to collect (Tainted) Voltaic Motes (This is setting up an order).
Arena Team/Rotations - The second and third entry into the Portals, defending the confluxes and repairing the Arena as the Sanctified Mind destroys it.

You are in the Boundless Horizon and it's time to get to work to bring down the Sanctified Mind.
You can start the encounter by shooting the Sanctified Mind.
It will touch down and then start a barrage of Void blasts from it.
You are in survival mode for the moment.

With everything going on, you will need to look to the radiolaria and spot the Angelic that is moving from the Sanctified Mind toward you.
This whole thing starts with them getting destroyed.
After that, 2 spots in the Mind will start to glow red.
Shooting them will cause a piece of the Mind to break off.
One will become a Blue Portal and one will become an Orange portal.

Going through the Portal, there will be a number of Harpies and likely a Hobgoblin as well.
Going through the Orange Portal, you will be collecting Tainted Voltiac Motes.
Going through the Blue portal, you will be collecting Voltaic Motes.
In both cases, you need to clear out the Vex inside to be brought back to the main crescent arena.
There will be a lot of Harpies.
Otherwise there will be either 2 Hobgoblins or a Minotaur
Getting the Hobgoblins yields up to 18 Motes.
Getting the Minotaur yields yields up to 15 Motes.
Call out when you are done collecting motes so the appropriate point on the boss can be destroyed and the other team going through the portal can rotate in.
Once back, you will need to head to the Confluxes and deposit your Motes.
If you have Voltaic Motes, you need to deposit the motes into the Blue Conflux
If you have Tainted Voltaic Mote, you need to deposit the motes into the Orange Conflux.
The Conflux's location can change throughout the encounter, so look for it each time.
Depositing the Motes will feed the Conflux and imbue it with energy.
When 30 motes have been deposited, you will get the message "The tether is pulsing with Dark energy..." or The tether is pulsing with Light energy...
When you see this message, that conflux is done and charged.
It's only when both Confluxes have given that message is it time to start toward Damage Phase itself.

If you are still on the Crescent Arena throughout this, you will need to deal with a Cyclops that appears when the Portal does.
Defeating both Cyclops will have the Boss reset its shoulder and leg.
To get the Portal Teams back, the rest of the team will need to destroy the either the Shoulder or the Leg glow.
This will summon another Portal and Cyclops, but it will also bring back the others.
Those who just deposited motes are rotated in on the Crescent Arena.
With Enlightened your goal isn't to kill the Vex with the Shields, but remove the shields from around the Vex.
Once the Shields are down the Vex advancing the Confluxes, then anyone can damage them.
it's very important to destroy these Vex since they remove banked motes from the Confluxes when they sacrifice to them.
The more important duty you'll have wield on the Arena team is repairing the Arena after the Sanctified Mind removes portions of it.
When the Portal is summoned, this is a secondary effect along with the Cyclops appearing.
A section of the arena will start to glow with red energy.
Everyone in the glowing area needs to immediate vacate to a different part of the arena, because that glowing area will literally blow up.

After about half the Arena has been destroyed, it is possible to start restoring portions of it.
The Confluxes can be shot to act like an Origin Terminal.
There will be a Terminal over a portion of the destroyed arena.
The Guardians there can then create a bridge from the Origin Conflux to the Terminal in the destroyed section.
Once the tethered Guardians manage something like this, the affected section of the Arena will be restored.
- This is an optional mechanic that makes the fight easier.

Having gotten the "The tether is pulsing with dark energy... from both Blue and Orange Confluxes, it's time to head toward actually damaging Sanctified Mind.
The Sanctified Mind will form a Vex Terminal in front of itself.
It will either be Blue or Orange, take in the color to know which Conflux you will be bringing a Tether from.
- Keep this color in mind, it's important to extend the damage phase.
Once the tether is made, the Sanctified Mind become vulnerable.
After a little walking around, it will lift up into the air, exposing its critical point.
Unleash everything at this point onto the glowing mark in its torso.
Do enough damage and it will come down before lifting up again.
Another Vex Terminal will appear in front of it.
At this point, use the Other Conflux to create a second tether to the Vex Terminal.
Complete the tether in time and the Damage Phase will be extended.

With the Sanctified Mind defeated, head to the back of the arena, a black triangle sitting in the ground above the radiolaria.
Go over to it and wait for the shards to break away.
Drop down the shaft to the bottom of it.
From there just run forward to the end of the passage where you see the statue.
The loot chest will appear just in front of you.
