Foyer
Can you help us get it done?
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 ramp.
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.
The two furthermost pillars at the back of the room (one to the left, another to the right) are colored dark gray at the base, compared to white on other pillars. The back sides of these two pillars has some graffiti patterns on it, which are accessible by gliding over the water and requires breaking the armor once. There is one dash track on each of these pillars that allows the player to gain height to view all graffiti patterns on the pillar. The player can also use these dash tracks to glide to the back side of the elevator shaft, which also contains some graffiti patterns. These graffiti patterns include, from top to bottom:
- Callie, Flooder, Elite Octoling, and Marie on the left pillar;
- Pearl, Octo Shot, Octotrooper, and Marina on the right pillar;
- Callie, Marie, Pearl, and Marina behind the elevator shaft.
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. If the player stays inside this icosahedron by gliding with the Pearl Drone, an additional music track with the melody of Short Order will be played alongside the background 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.
Two devices contained in cubes appear on the platform in front of the elevator, which the player can interact with to "relive memories" of boss fights and cutscenes from the campaign:
- On the left, the Controller VM allows the player to replay the first climb and the battle against Marina Agitando ("First Climb" and "Saving Marina"). This is available immediately after clearing the first climb.
- On the right, the Color Wail loudspeaker allows the player to replay the fourth phase of the initial Overlorder battle, the credits, and the Inkopolis Square introduction cutscene ("Epic, Vibrant Battle", "Elevator to the Skies", and "Entering Inkopolis Square"). This is available after clearing 30F for the first time. The "Entering Inkopolis Square" option was added in version 7.1.0.

Trivia
- The Foyer is the only place in any single-player campaign where armor protects the player against water.
- If the player selects the "Remember Epic, Vibrant Battle" option while Eight's Palette is equipped, the equipped Palette will be changed to Agent 4's Palette, as Eight's Palette is not available until after this battle.
