Diaphragm Phase is the fifth stage in the Octo Expansion's finale.

Gameplay

Using the S2 Weapon Special Inkjet.png Inkjet, Agent 8 must find a series of eight data posts hidden across a large tower to obtain the energy core at its center.

If the player gets repeatedly splatted, they have the option to skip this phase, with each splat contributing to 20% Skip Charge, where the following dialogue will be displayed:

"Agent 8 released all of the locks and freed the energy core..."

I'm getting a strong energy core signal! It's somewhere in this area!
An equipper! Use it to prepare yourself!
That's a data point! Let's smash and grab!
Collecting data points will release the locks.
I think you can climb up there!
That's the energy core! But it's locked...
Whoa - they're climbing! They're higher up than Agent 8!
Looks like you could get in there using the Inkrail!
Fifth lock released! Three to go!
Seventh lock released! Just one left!
All locks released! The energy core...
Follow it, Agent 8!
Agent 8? AGENT 8?!

Marina... Check on the old man and Agent 3 after this!
Ah - it opened up!
Hey, Marina! How's the old man doing?
Whaaa?! The roof came down!
Yo, Eight! You gotta collect all the data points!
Looks like you can climb up there!
Hey - the switch plate is open!
Lock released... and the lid opened!
Second lock released!
Fourth lock released!
Hey! What's happening?!
WHOOOAAA!
And Cap, too!
EIIIIIIIIGHT!
— When the player got splatted.

Trivia

  • The developers revealed that if Agent 8 gets splatted during this phase, they will actually die, because they are not connected to a respawn platform. This means the game goes back in time every time you get splatted during the escapes.
