Gorgon Cave Third Boss Theory

Hello Everyone, As you may know there has been extensive research being done together as a community to discover the proposed 6th and 7th chests. I have been reading and listening as well as attempting many theories with my friends on hard and normal mode. One theory that seems to intrigue me is that there is a third boss within the Gorgon cave that we have yet to discover (or perhaps the vex portal in the platform phase opens to a third boss . . ) As to who this third boss is I cannot say, perhaps Praedyth or Kabr himself but who knows. As to how this boss is spawned I do have a theory; The mythology of the gorgons has been stated already by many people but I will shortly provide some info here. In the myth of the gorgons only one gorgon was completely mortal, Medusa. Perseus used the gifts of the gods to defeat the gorgon medusa and gifted her head to Athena. Athena had a leather shield called an Aegis (same name as our relic shield) and after she received the gift of medusa's head she placed it on her Aegis. This segment of info is key to my theory. I theorize that there is ONE and only one truly kill-able gorgon in the cave ( I know that gorgons are kill-able, but they respawn and none drop any items) and I think that once this gorgon is killed an item will drop (perhaps the gorgons head). This item can then be used in conjunction with the Aegis and can be used to spawn the third boss or spawn a chest. I can't speak for how the item is used or how the relic is obtained but I think that most people agree that there is more to the gorgon cave then just blasting through the cave to get chests and remain hidden. I will be testing this with my crew on both normal and hard mode to see if we can find a single gorgon that is more important in some way. I'll try to post here with some findings and hopefully this sparks a conversation about the link between the gorgons and our Raid mythology. Thanks for sticking around for the lengthy post, Cheers. EDIT: alright so CLEARLY no one saw my post earlier saying this is dead and should NOT be trending again as it is ancient and does not exist. I tested it, hunted for theories and have a lot of hard raids under my belt and imo there's nothing else in the vault, especially not in the cave. So those of you choosing to insult me, jokes on you for wasting time on this thread as it was dead like almost a month ago. Let it go guys.

  • Excuse me, but who IS Praedyth? Also, there are some unused portal structures, and when people get teleported to Venus/Mars the dots on the radar (arrows, rather) point to said structure outside final room, left from where you start the jumping puzzle. Get cracking on that one =)
