12:17 has avoidable fight with the Omnitopia Raptor. 55:33 has avoidable fight with 8 Guardbots; this is avoided by inputting the proper code in the Security Access (D3) for deactivating the Alarm Room (C4), indicated in the stated colors by a Mechaduster in the Services Sector (A2, B2).


We finally get to Omnitopia, the final and futuristic region of SoE. This region isn't that big, thankfully, so yes, we will be done with the game before too long. Omnitopia is more focused on giving the player some puzzles to make sure they still have to think to get around, since the enemies have only so many ways to be much of a threat at this point. Just the Toaster Dog form providing Private Hazard a boost of 80 ATK and 250 Physical DEF, not to mention range attacking ability, would marginalize quite a bit when all is said and done. By the way, the Toaster Dog form does have a weakness in that the initial dash is done repeatedly instead of only once in a session of holding the Dash button, so although this does allow for dash-based maneuvering, with the Toaster Dog form's insane run speed no less, without button mashing, it triggers the charge halving every frame, resulting in the meter reading 0% from full L3 chargeup in 10 frames. Of course, this only matters if you control the Toaster Dog directly. Under the AI, the Toaster Dog form will still not use chargeup at all on dashing to catch up with the player.

So getting through these puzzles, we meet with Professor Ruffleberg, the head of the Evermore experiment, and let's just say the story he provides about the mastermind behind the evil twins, besides being a showcase of 90s plot being 90s plot, showcases why I would propose the mastermind for the Complete Monster trope.
