Foyer

The foyer is a location in the Spire of Order.

The foyer is the ground level of the Spire of Order. It functions as a test range within Side Order, allowing the player to test different weapons that come with different Palettes before starting a run.

Appearance

The layout of the foyer changes after clearing the first climb. In both layouts, it is a platform surrounded by water on three sides. There is an elevator entrance on an elevator shaft located at the far end of the room, with a slightly raised floor in front of it connected to the platform with a slope.

During first climb

The foyer during the first climb has a relatively small rectangular platform in the middle. Outlines of circles randomly appear in midair. Upon entering the rectangular area, two indestructible portals pop open on the far side, in front of the elevator entrance, and starts spawning Jelletons — one Marching Andante, followed by four Swarming Languendo, and finally one Battering Lento. The portals close after spawning the last Jelleton. After defeating all Jelletons, the player can then proceed to enter the elevator.

After first climb

After clearing the first climb, the foyer becomes much wider with several raised platforms and a grate added to it, and is populated with practice targets, dash tracks, a bounce pad, an inkrail, a ride rail, a soaker block, and an ∞-ball.

Before clearing 30F, the foyer is lit with mostly static lighting, with lights on top of the pillars flashing to bass drum beats in the music. Occasionally, white outlines of spheres, vertical white lines, and sparkles appears in midair.

After clearing 30F once, the appearance of the foyer changes again. The room is now normally brighter, and there are now spotlights shining down from the ceiling. Outlines of various platonic solids appear in various locations in the room from time to time. During a specific phase, the room turns dim and an icosahedron appears in the middle of the room. Gliding through this with the Pearl Drone will add vocals to the music. The colored lights around the inner edges of the floor and patterns under the water will change to match the dominant tone of the preceding run, cleared or not.

Quotes

English

First time entering the foyer:

Pearl

Is this for real? Wherever we are, it's nothing like
the Inkopolis Square tower.

Pearl

I'm getting the heebie-jeebies. Keep your eyes open!

Pearl

Heads up, Eight!

Pearl

Trouble's coming for us. Use these!

Pearl

You remember your way around a weapon, right?
Press to show 'em who they're dealing with!

Pearl

We got more incoming!

Pearl

That one's huge! What did we get ourselves into?!

Pearl

Whew! I think that was the last of 'em.

Pearl

Huh? Where'd I get the weapon from? Iunno.
Your guess is as good as mine.

Pearl

Just felt like...something I had in me, y'know?

Pearl

But never mind that. The elevator's running again!

Pearl

We can sit and scratch our heads all we want,
but why bother when the answers are up there?
Let's get moving, Eight!

Pearl

You with those fish we busted up?!

???

Cool it. I'm not your enemy.

???

Just another bystander who got sucked in.

???

I take it you two followed Marina's voice here.

Pearl

Say what?! You know Marina too?!

Acht

First things first: I'm Acht. As for Marina and me...
we go way back.

Pearl

For real?! Yo, lead with that next time!

Pearl

I'm Pearl, and this's Eight! Cool meeting you, Acht.

Acht

I've been in the area since I came to.

Acht

I heard Marina's voice from up the Spire, so I came
to find her.

Acht

But those bony fish found me first. I call them
Jelletons. They're why I'm trapped in an elevator.

Acht

The Spire is crammed with Jelletons. This wound they
gave me hasn't healed. So I'm stuck.

Pearl

Yikes. Things aren't looking super good for the home
team, huh?

Acht

Don't count us out yet.

Acht

I've been waiting for an Octoling with a drone. Said your
name was Eight? You're the one I needed to see.

Acht

OK, Pearl. Now check out what happens when you set
this color chip into that Palette.

Pearl

Palette? I'm supposed to know what that is?

Pearl

Oh, are you talking about this thing?

Acht

You got it. Now set this color chip into it.

Pearl

OK, but whatever happens is on you. Here goes
nothing, Eight! Slap that chip on in there!

Pearl

WHOA! Is it me, or did your weapon get stronger?

Pearl

If you set a whole bunch of color chips in here, you
could walk all over those fishy freaks!

Acht

No doubt. Play your chips right, and you could make it
all the way to the top.

Acht

Whatever's going on in this city, Marina's in the thick
of it. Or so I'm assuming.

Acht

But this injury has left me sidelined. Our strike team
will be limited to you two.

Pearl

We're on it, Acht! Deep breaths, Eight. It's time to go
find Marina!
