Enemies

Every type of enemy has a different weak spot. Humanoid foes in particular are easier to kill when shot at the head.

•

  Has a very dangerous charging thrust attack. Can also fire scattering shots at the player.

• 

  Dreadnought - Protected by thick armor, this large Gillskin will either smash the ground with both of its claws or spew out bile within a small radius.
  
  It will also attempt to grab Filena, forcing players to fight it without relying on her aid.

• 

  Dionaea - A Gillskin clone of Filena created by Chaos, it mimics her combat style as a form of adaptation. However, the being's rapport with its creator is not as effective as Syd and Filena's teamwork.

• 

  Diablosis Soma - The result of Thanatos forcefully using Filena to evolve. Due to its massive size, the player will have to scale to the higher levels of the stage to hit its weak spots, though it can block shots from one direction at times.
  
  It may even sweep the player off their feet with a claw swing. Extreme caution is recommended when trying to evade its moves.

• 

  Dormant Seed - While seemingly in dormancy, this Seed can manipulate Stillborns and lesser Gillskins to protect it as it matures.
  
  Players must give Elev and Xex enough time to implant detonators on the front and back of the Seed without letting them be interrupted.

• 

  Matured Seed - Although the Seed is not much of a threat on its own, its destruction is necessary to clear the game.
  
  It will attempt to obstruct the player by sending in Maidens to stop them.

Obstacles

• 

  Defense Cannon - Attached to the Tower's guard shell, these cannons fire rapid bullets that can pierce through armor. They can be destroyed by a well-aimed shot.

• 

  Laser Cannon - While fewer in number than defense cannons, these weapons shoot concentrated laser beams.
  
  Because they inflict severe damage against players, their destruction takes top priority over anything else.

• 

  Oil Barrel - Firing at these barrels will inflict heavy damage against nearby units. The best time to detonate them is when a large cluster of enemies are close by.

• 

  Mineral Land Mine - Crystals brimming with thermal energy. Should they be fired on, the crystals explode upon contact.

• 

  Flying Mine - Crystallized mines that fly about in several directions. Similar to mineral land mines, they explode upon being fired at. These are mostly found in the Trachea.

• 

  Watcher - Watchers are devices that monitor the various areas of the Tower. Destroying them will unlock bonus features and achievements.

• 

  Granula - Large worms that fly around the Tower's vicinity. Though the fluids they expel can infect living creatures with Diablosis, they mostly serve as harmful obstacles at worst or useful transportation at best.
