Σntrance: Archon is a song by Free Association. It plays in the foyer in Side Order after the first climb but before the Spire of Order is cleared for the first time. After the Spire has been cleared, it is replaced by Σntrance: Platonic Solid.

Description

Σntrance: Archon is an electronic song by Free Association that features driving percussion and heavy chords with occasional gentler chords.

Like Θrder Square: Subjug8 and its variants that play in the Order Sector, this song and Σntrance: Dynamis are played in-game via multiple different audio tracks that are mixed together based on the player's relative proximity to certain objects in the foyer that are "generating" the song.

Σntrance: Dynamis

Σntrance: Dynamis is an ambient song consisting of ambient bell sounds and a droning ambiance, over which occasional chords are played. It is a stripped-back version of Σntrance: Archon that plays in the foyer prior to the first climb's completion.

Etymology

Σntrance uses the uppercase Greek letter "Σ" (sigma) to mimic an uppercase "E", similarly to leetspeak. Entrance is the Japanese localization's name for the foyer.

Archon is a Greek word that means "ruler", from which derives arche which means "beginning" or "first in order". This may refer to the position that Order holds at the start, before the player has beaten the game mode.

Dynamis is a Greek word that refers to strength or potentiality. This might refer to the fact that Σntrance: Dynamis only plays at the very beginning of the first climb.
