History of Protometon

Overview

Protometon, Nexial Hijacker is the final boss of Terminal Overload, a Guardian-initiated public event from Lightfall set in Neomuna. Terminal Overload takes place at Zephyr Concourse, Ahimsa Park and Límíng Harbor, where Guardians defend the CloudArk from Shadow Legion and Sol Collective forces.

Protometon is the last boss of the event's third stage. The stage runs Sizmic and then Protometon, after the earlier bosses Minotaur Accompli, Cabal Colossus, Minotaur Harpax and Test'udo.

Fight

Protometon's health bar has three damage gates. At each gate it becomes immune, and the fight resumes once the phase ends. The sources disagree on how the immune phase works:

• Destinypedia describes three Oracles being summoned at each gate, which must be destroyed before the boss can be damaged again, along with Seeker traps.
• Shacknews describes four diamond-shaped crystals around the arena that can be destroyed with normal weapon and ability damage. While a crystal is active, Vex darts spawn from it, and a dart hit detains a player until they shoot free or teammates break the shield. Destroying all four starts the next damage phase.

Throughout the fight, high-tier enemies such as Wyverns and exploding Goblins keep spawning. The boss's death completes the event.
