   Abnormalities are entities that manifested from the mind of humans through Lobotomy Corporation's Singularity, reflecting an aspect of the desires, behaviors, and fears of City people.

   Abnormalities cannot die, and can only be temporarily suppressed. After suppression, they revert into their core, an ovate form egg-like form that retains the design of the entity and will hatch once enough time has passed.

   Abnormalities are a kind of monster originating from the people of the City. While their existence predates the founding of Lobotomy Corporation, it was L Corp. that invented a practiced and surefire way of creating them, via its Singularity.

   Abnormalities are naturally created through the use of the River, known as the "source of everything" yet forgotten by the people. It is said to have flown "at the very bottom of the world for many an age". Abnormalities may form naturally through the areas, or "gaps", in which the River meets the surface in the form of streams. Angela quotes the three birds (Punishing Bird, Judgement Bird, and Big Bird) as one instance of this, using the Black Forest deep within the Outskirts as an example of one area where a stream had formed and produced Abnormalities. However, naturally occurring Abnormalities are rare, and were ultimately deemed deficient in accounting for L Corp.'s needs.

   Within Lobotomy Corporation, Abnormalities came to be through the Well and the Bucket. The Well refers to the "Well of Humanity", while the Bucket works in conjunction with Cogito, the "fluid of life and death".

   The Well of Humanity was something forgotten by Cityfolk, but that could still be sensed by a select few. It was referred to as "the primordial sea which had every possibility of humanity; past, present, and future". Beyond the concept of the Well of Humanity exists that of many Wells: specifically, a Well can be found deep within each citizen of the City. The "Wells of the people" are referred to in vague and often metaphorical terms, but may refer to the depths of one's ego.

   Carmen was one of those who could sense the presence of the Well of Humanity, and attributed the disease of the mind— an idea of which she established and sought to cure— to it. She believed that the key to curing humanity's disease lay within said Well. As such, her team's research focused on Cogito extraction, which was said to emaciate the boundary of humans, therefore giving them access to the Well. Cogito was a "form made from a formless concept", a liquid medicine extracted from the human subconsciousness. Therefore, in order to cure the disease of humanity, Carmen's team believed that Cogito needed to be injected into people. Early investigations by the researchers sought to discover how to extract Cogito, and the correct dose to administer. Mishandling of Cogito before it was considered ready for human use resulted in a painful death, in addition, gazing into the well could permanently damage one's psyche.

   The Bucket was invented following Carmen's suicide. Ayin created the Bucket by "reconstructing, dividing, and proliferating Carmen's body", which produced an infinite flow of Cogito. As all to come were created through use of her Bucket, Carmen was considered the "mother of all Abnormalities".

   At the main branch, it was Binah's task to extract Abnormalities for all Lobotomy Corporation facilities. Her department contained a mass number of gravestones / pillars, which she described as "death itself" that "represent the possibilities birth can bring at the same time". Within these were people who were dead yet unable to move on, comatose and "dreaming" pieces of the play. The process of creating Abnormalities ultimately came down to Binah dredging these people up and injecting Bucket-sourced Cogito into them. This was done without the consent of the other party. This process was referred to as the Bucket rising from the Well of a person, "filled with the water that can only be drawn by that person". When this is done the person loses themselves and enter's a dream-like state where they are dead but can't move on, they cannot be gazed at as their eyes contain abysses that only Binah could endure due to Ayin altering her body as a Sephirah to not go insane.

   Having been extracted from humans, Abnormalities carry the will of the person they originated from, and are exclusive and unique as a result. Binah describes this as there being "as many worlds as there are people". Adam also describes Abnormalities as the "truer forms" of humanity.

   Given that Carmen has dissipated into the Light as of Lobotomy Corporation's true ending (squandering the Bucket), Abnormalities can no longer be created outside of natural means and through failed Distortions.

   During its time as a Wing, Lobotomy Corporation assigned Risk Levels to each of the Abnormalities it managed. Risk Levels corresponded to the difficulty in managing the Abnormality and energy production efficiency. The five Risk Levels, from mildest to most complex, were ZAYIN, TETH, HE, WAW and ALEPH.

   Limbus Company also uses these same Risk Levels to categorize the Abnormalities they fight. However, in Season 4's Risk Levels & Classifications mini-episode, the LCD explains that there is a significant disparity between the fallen L Corp.'s standards of categorization (which were based on how much Enkephalin they produced) and Limbus Company's combat experiences. This is in part both due to the difference in managing and fighting an Abnormality, and a suppression of their strength via the Golden Boughs. As such, Limbus Company would eventually use its own variation of the system and re-categorize the Abnormalities they have encountered accordingly. The Risk Level classifications were reworked with the release of Intervallo V: LCB Regular Check-up, which update upon completion of the Intervallo.

   Following this update, Risk Levels are now proceeded by a number indicating their expected strength within the Risk Level (such as HE-05). The 'expected damage scale' in addition to the scale based on their energy production levels, means that HE-5 presents more potential dangers than WAW-4 in a fight.

   ZAYIN: "With little to no aggression, ZAYIN Abnormalities will cause the least harm to your Agents. Their damage tends to be minuscule, and they may have a positive effect on the employees."

   TETH: "These Abnormalities can inflict varying degrees of injury to your employees. However, as long as your employees follow the proper managerial guidelines, they will not cause much damage."

   HE: "Abnormalities of this class can easily kill a number of employees. You will have to pay twice as much attention as you do for a ZAYIN or TETH. If the situation goes wrong, several employees could be lost in bloodshed. There’s no need to be concerned though; with your excellent management, they will be in control."

   WAW: "These are high risk and carry devastating force. Most will be hostile toward employees, and the death toll could reach into the dozens."

   ALEPH: "The most dangerous. You should devote as much concentration and attention as possible to this Risk Level. You’ll be thankful if the Abnormality is suppressed without ravaging entire departments. (Please do not take our warning as an exaggeration.)"

   Following this update, Risk Levels are now proceeded by a number indicating their expected strength within the Risk Level (such as HE-05).

   Classification Codes: On top of the basic Risk Level, each Abnormality is assigned a classification code to act as a unique identifier. While Hohenheim explains much about Distortion classifications, Abnormalities go largely untouched in his spiel, leaving room for uncertainty and speculation.

   During his explanation, Hohenheim mentions the difficulty in identifying and observing the shape of a Distortion, stating it was replaced with a different metric for classifying Distortions. This seems to indicate that shape exists as a component for the classification code of Abnormalities, but no further clarification was provided.

   Limbus Company Distortions were given basic Risk Level classifications until early Season 4. In-universe, these were redacted so that the higher ups at Limbus Company could rework the classification system to differ from how the old Lobotomy Corporation classified their Abnormalities and be more accurate to the Sinners' experiences. This occurred within the April 11th, 2024 "Risk Levels & Classifications" update, and was a server-wide change that affected all accounts regardless of story progression. Afterwards, Distortion Risk Levels were instead indiscriminately labeled as Undef Risk Label.png (Undefined).

   However, the Risk Level classifications were reworked with the release of Intervallo V: LCB Regular Check-up. The Risk Level classifications update upon completion of the Intervallo.

   The updated classifications consist of five different indicators (??-??-??-??-??).

   Firstly (XX-??-??-??-??): a Risk Level ranging from ZAYIN to ALEPH, potentially meant to describe the expected damage scale. Dante's Notes written post-Intervallo clarify that the Abnormality Risk Levels are carried over from Lobotomy Corporation, and therefore still measure Enkephalin production rather than battle prowess, indicating that a ZAYIN-10 Abnormality would likely cause more damage than a WAW-05. In that case, it is unclear what the Risk Levels describe in cases of Distortion, given that they were never worked with by L Corp. nor produce Enkephalin. Secondly (??-XX-??-??-??): a number ranging from 01 to 10, meant to describe the expected damage scale. Thirdly (??-??-XX-??-??): a two-letter designation referring to the most dominant Sin Affinity of the Distortion (Ex: PI refers to Pigritia: Sloth). Fourth (??-??-??-XX-??): a number designation indicating the District the Distortion was encountered in. Fifth (??-??-??-??-XX): currently unclear. Distortions may be labeled shorthand with just their Risk Level and Sin Affinity, such as HE-06(-PI), or with the full designated code, such as HE-06-PI-20-01.

   Ordeals are not Abnormalities, but a consequence of trying and failing to create one. Specifically, Ordeals are entities that form by administering the incorrect dose of Cogito to a human being. They are considered impurities, representing all kinds of beings that have and will exist in the world. During their first encounter with one, Dante found Ordeals most comparable to Peccatula.

   Given that all Abnormalities were created in one place, Ordeals only ever existed at the main branch, and were not spread to other facilities like the Abnormalities were. They were never contained, but simply spawned on their own at certain intervals, to then be taken care of by the employees. Ordeals also came in a select few types: Amber, Crimson, Green, Indigo, Violet, and White, and spawned within time periods classified as Dawn, Noon, Dusk, and Midnight. It is not clear if this is because there are a limited number of results upon creating an Ordeal (similar to Peccatula), or if they are outright unkillable (similar to Abnormalities).

   Ordeals are considered ungovernable, but will react to the Qlipoth Deterrence, allowing them to be temporarily put to sleep along with the Abnormalities. Binah describes this as "all we're able to do", however, The 4th Walpurgisnacht depicts the Sinners breaking a Noon of Violet into pieces, and Rodya quotes Faust telling them to "kill them as soon as possible" in the Violet Dawn Observation Log, indicating that they may be capable of being permanently killed.

   While very similar to Distortions, a key distinction between the two is that Distortions are ultimately willingly manifested from their original form's desires (or letting their emotion get the better of their desire), while Abnormalities are in large part created through artificial means. Lobotomy Corporation formed Abnormalities through the use of the Well, Bucket, and Cogito without any conscious agreement from the person involved. On the other hand, Distortions come to be through adverse effects of the Light allowing an agreement between the individual and Carmen.

   Distortions are also capable of being permanently killed, and do not temporarily revert to an ovate form like Abnormalities. It is also important to note that that Abnormalities themselves are only fragments of the mind extracted from living subjects, unlike Distortions which are the entirety of the person now corrupted by their beliefs.

   Library of Ruina frequently amounts Distortions and Abnormalities to the same thing. Angela states that "Abnormalities manifested through the Distortion are selves that have lost control…" while Binah tells Roland that "Those may manifest in the form of E.G.O or an Abnormality... the phenomenon has now been named the 'Distortion'". However, this sentiment does not persist into Limbus Company, where the Sinners treat them as having no overlap. In the Risk Levels & Classifications mini-episode, the LCD states that Abnormalities and Distortions are even distinct to the point of requiring different kinds of classification codes.

   Abnormalities can also arise from the Distortion Phenomenon, as with enough time, Distortions are guaranteed to "hatch" into an Abnormality. Hohenheim describes this to be when "all preexisting individuality is erased, replaced with the totality of an Abnormality". At this point in the process, there is no hope for the affected individual, as an Abnormality cannot return to normalcy like a Distortion can.

   There has been only one shown instance of this, with Jumsoon in Leviathan. In this case, the individual went still and silent, before Schadenfreude suddenly split him open and emerged from within his body. Interestingly, this demonstrates that the process can result in the creation of a second copy of a preexisting Abnormality, and contradicts the established notion that all Abnormalities are one of a kind.

   Although both Hohenheim and Ezra credit the transformation to the passage of time, Leviathan additionally suggests that Distortions may turn into Abnormalities as a result of a second shattering of the individual's mental foundation.

   Like Abnormalities, Peccatula are very similar to Distortions, but still a different kind of entity. They are even closer to beasts than Distortions, and show much higher levels of aggression and antagonism than them. Peccatula also come in seven different types, unlike Distortions, which are unique and individualized to the person who had distorted.

   Dante believes that they might come from the same source, and that people who fail to become Distortions become Peccatula instead.

   Ordeals are entities resembling Peccatula and also closely related to Abnormalities. Ordeals periodically appeared in the Lobotomy Corp. Headquarters prior to the Wing's implosion. In Limbus Company, Ordeals are fought as parts of Walpurgis Night events, often as parts of lengthy, multiple-wave Encounters.

   Ordeals are entities that form by administering the incorrect dose of Cogito to a human being. They are considered impurities, representing all kinds of beings that have and and will exist in the world.

   Given that all Abnormalities were created in one place, Ordeals only ever existed at the main branch, and were not spread to other facilities like the Abnormalities were. They were never contained, but simply spawned on their own at certain intervals, to then be taken care of by the employees. Ordeals also came in a select few types: Amber, Crimson, Green, Indigo, Violet, and White, and spawned within time periods classified as Dawn, Noon, Dusk, and Midnight. It is not clear if this is because there are a limited number of results upon creating an Ordeal, or if they are outright unkillable.

   Ordeals are classified by their Colors, and the "time of day" that they appear in. The Color determines the Ordeal's theme and general types of attack used by associated entities, while the "time of day" determines their strength.

    Each entity has its own unique theme, and all entities except for the Midnight Ordeal are average-sized humanoids. They focus on specific types of damage and use them to wreak havoc on the entire facility. A strange sound is heard when the Ordeal starts.

    Ordeals of White are dangerous Ordeals that are part of the Kether Meltdown. Every Ordeal except for Midnight spawns the same entities, named Fixers. All Fixers are classified as Risk WAW. There are four types of them, one for each Damage type:

    Red Fixer: An armored robotic humanoid with blades and cannons that deal Red Damage. It roams the facility until it encounters an employee. Unlike the other Fixers, the Red Fixer may lock onto and chase a target it comes across, which may last indefinitely if it never reaches it or encounters anything else. Upon reaching a target, the Red Fixer will attack at a short distance, preferring to use its blast attack, but will switch to its blade if the target is close enough. The Red Fixer's attacks are as follows:

    The Red Fixer will fire a short blast dealing Red Damage. The Red Fixer takes out a blade to slash at targets in front itself at close range, dealing Red Damage. The Red Fixer will crouch, unsheathe its blade, and rapidly slash forwards, backwards, then forwards again in a short area around it. Each slash acts like a small area attack, hitting multiple targets and dealing Red Damage Occasionally, the Red Fixer may perform a charged laser beam attack that takes a short time to prepare. The beam travels straight forward to where it is facing, piercing the walls and dealing Red Damage to anyone in its way similar to The Queen of Hatred's laser attack but hitting once. The laser has a range limit, like most other beam attacks in the game. It will use this attack at both melee and blasting range. On death, the Red Fixer will fire its laser in a wide arc from up to down (the side depending on which way the Fixer was facing), dealing Red Damage to anyone struck by the beam. This laser has a range limit as well.

    White Fixer: An angelic-looking, knight-like humanoid who levitates when moving, wearing a halo and a cannon-like weapon. It will wander around the facility. The White Fixer takes a longer time to attack other employees compared to the other Fixers. Both of its attacks have fairly long cooldowns, but it will always prefer to use its forward cannon attack rather than its arc attack if both are available. It only perform its attacks if there are employees in the same room, but does not give chase and will otherwise continue to wander in between attacks. It can take out its cannon and its halo in preparation; after a short delay, it will shoot a single white beam towards the direction that is facing, passing through rooms and dealing White Damage to anyone in its path. This beam also leaves a white cloud behind it that deals constant White Damage every ~0.3 seconds to entities who remain within it, and slows them by 50%. The cloud will fade out after 5 seconds. This attack can happen 12~15 seconds after the White Fixer spawns, and subsequently 19~21 seconds after each use. With its weapon, the White Fixer charges its weapon first and then will shoot a laser beam upwards, dealing White Damage to anyone caught by it, and marking the area affected by it with white smoke that deals constant White Damage every ~0.3 seconds to entities in its area and slows them by 50%. This cloud will fade out after 5 seconds. The White Fixer will turn the aiming of the laser into a wide arc (about 270 degrees), affecting a large area with the same lingering white smoke, until stopping and continuing with its walk. Dealing enough damage can stop its attack or decrease the arc by forcing it to enter its praying stance. This attack can happen 40~45 seconds after the fixer spawns, and subsequently 55~60 seconds after each use. Every time the White Fixer reaches 70%, 40% and 10% Max HP, it will raise its weapon like a shield and enter a 'praying' position, reflecting all damage taken back to attackers and becoming immune to all Damage. A noticeable ringing sound will occur when damage is reflected. This lasts for a while before it lowers the weapon and moves again. Upon death, the weapon will raise above the White Fixer and impale them, turning them into white smoke and dealing White Damage to the nearby employees.

    Black Fixer: A humanoid entity which wears black armor with yellow goggles and multiple feathers. Its weapon is a hammer with a hook at the base. It also resembles a mix of the bird Abnormalities. It wanders throughout the facility, attacking employees and Abnormalities it comes across. Its attacks are mostly at close range: The Black Fixer swings the hammer's hook to deal Black Damage to targets in front of it. The Black Fixer raises up the hammer and slams it against the direction that it's facing, hitting 6 times dealing Black Damage. 29~31 seconds after spawning, and subsequently 50~60 seconds after each use, if the Black Fixer is in a hallway with Abnormalities, it can crouch and hold its hammer, which will pulse. This deals constant Black Damage to the employees in the same room, and after a period of time, it will deplete the Qliphoth Counter of all the Abnormalities in the same hallway to 0. Note that this attack does not require a target and can occur as soon as it enters a viable hallway. Upon death, the hammer will levitate and impale the Black Fixer, creating Qliphoth Meltdowns on all Abnormalities in the department.

    Pale Fixer: A human Fixer who dresses in business attire, with a coat and fedora, carrying a briefcase in one hand. The Fixer only appears during the Dusk of White. It roams the facility until it encounters an employee. Its attacks and abilities are the following:

    Upon spotting an employee the Pale Fixer can perform a close range attack with a blade, stabbing 7 times dealing Pale Damage. When agents are out of range of the blade attack, the Pale Fixer can shoot at the target with a pistol, dealing Pale Damage. Once every 17~19 seconds, the Pale Fixer will hold up its briefcase and a blue tentacle-like blade will shoot out of the briefcase performing a ranged area attack, dealing Pale Damage twice. If the Pale Fixer has not managed to find any employees after 25~35 seconds of roaming, it will teleport to a random employee in the facility by entering its briefcase, slowing them to zero for 1~2 seconds. When defeated, the tentacle-like blade will shoot out of the case and cut through the direction the Pale Fixer was facing on death, dealing massive Pale Damage in a very short range and executing/beheading the Pale Fixer.

    "A perfect meal, an excellent substitute."

    The Ordeal of Amber Dawn, also known as The Perfect Meal, is designed to clog the facility's hallways and easily plow through low-level Agents and Clerks.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on the screen, and brown worm-like creatures with teeth at the front will appear in groups of 5 in one hallway per Department. When a target is in the room, they will leap towards it when close enough, dealing Red Damage. The worms will remain in the hallway for 40-60 seconds, and will burrow into the ground and move to another random hallway in the facility after this time. When the worms sprout up from the ground, they will deal Red Damage to those in the room.

    Since the worms move in groups and and move erratically, they are a threat against weak employees, particularly those with either Level 1 Fortitude or a Suit weak to Red Damage. Due to their movement while attacking, the worms can quickly switch to the opposite side of the target, making melee weapons and slow-attacking weapons harder to hit with if the employee's Attack Speed is too low. Hence, it is highly suggested to use Ranged weapons or fast-attacking weapons if possible.

    "Let us light a flame yet more radiant in our lives; for life is a candlelight, destined to snuff out one day."

    When the event starts, a message will appear on the screen, and small humanoid clowns with grinning faces, hats and thin limbs will spawn. They randomly appear in a hallway which has a containment door, spawning a single clown per department. They move a bit faster than an average employee and are not aggressive towards employees: their objective is reaching the containment units.

    Once they reach a containment unit, they will stop in front of it and start to mess with the Containment Unit for 20 seconds. After this time has passed, they will disappear from the current location in a small smoke cloud, 'stealing' 30% of the Unique PE Boxes from the previous containment room, and if the previous containment room has a Qliphoth Counter, it will be dropped by 1. After disappearing, the clown will appear in another hallway and repeat their mischief until suppressed. Upon death, they will explode, dealing Red Damage in a short range.

    The clowns tend to appear one per hallway, usually not appearing together in the same room. Due to their ability to steal PE Boxes, they can slow the progress of the player, making their research of the Abnormalities slower or making them unable to purchase Equipment from them; and, because of their ability to subtract from the Qliphoth Counter, they can lead to Abnormalities triggering their abilities or breaching. It is important to kill them as soon as they appear, agents should ideally be placed in the hallways before the event strikes. Always make sure to keep the dangerous Abnormalities on watch; also, due to the way the clowns behave, they can waste their time by stopping in front of Tool Abnormalities.

    "One day, a question crossed through my mind. Where do we come from? We were given life and left in this world against our own volition."

    The Ordeal of Green Dawn, also known as Doubt, is designed to exterminate clerks and low-level employees through dealing Health and Sanity damage.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on the screen, and humanoid robots with red eyes – armed with a lance, filled with gears, and wearing an old cloth – will appear in random hallways or small rooms, one per department. They move slowly and they are hostile to employees; they will attack employees once near, with a moderate attack speed and a short range.

    When dealing a killing blow to an employee, it will perform another movement, 'overkilling' the employee by stabbing them with the lance 5 times dealing sanity Damage to the other employees in the room each time in quick succession), with the last hit making the employee explode into guts. This attack can quickly deplete the Mental Gauge of lower level agents.

    After defeating all the robots, the event will end, displaying a final message.

    The robots will appear in different locations every time and will kill clerks quickly with their simple attacks and the overkill move. A lone robot can be overwhelmed and defeated easily by using Agents with different weapons. It is best not to send any Agents to suppress them when they are about to kill another employee, to avoid White Damage.

    The Ordeal of Violet Dawn, also known as Fruit of Understanding, is designed to punish players who prefer to ignore Ordeals to focus on gathering energy.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on the screen, and crawling spherical organ-like creatures will spawn in the facility. One appears per department in a random hallway, moving around the room, usually staying in the same location. If they are attacked by an agent or clerk, they will try to move towards the aggressor for next 10-15 seconds. They constantly glow, dealing Black Damage to employees around them. If they aren't suppressed after 60-70 seconds, they will self-destruct, giving off a large glow. This glow will drop the Qliphoth Counters of all the Abnormalities in the same department to 0 and inflict 10-14 White Damage to all the employees assigned to that department. It will also end the Ordeal prematurely.

    The entities have these defenses:

    After all the entities die (either by being suppressed or by self-destructing), the event will end, displaying a final message.

    These creatures don't stand much of a chance in battle against a group of employees, but their glow after self-termination will drop the Qliphoth Counter of all the Abnormalities in the same department to 0, which can easily cause chaos and mayhem. If the employees are distributed well to fight off these beings, they can be taken care of easily.

    The Ordeal of Crimson Noon, also known as The Harmony of Skin and formally known as A Chorus of Saliva, is designed to punish the player for sending their entire facility after one target.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on the screen, followed by a carnival tent appearing in a random hallway. The tent will open and a large quadruped clown entity made of red flesh with tumors and faces will appear. It possesses 3 heads, all with clown make-up, black hair and hollow eyes, with one being at the back, holding in its mouth a big organ-like part, with a spike coming out of it; and the other two at the front.

    The clown wanders through the facility at a slightly faster speed than average employees. Unlike most enemies, Crimson Noon will not try to chase targets that are in its current hallway, only starting to attack if someone walks in front of it. It engages them by biting or smashing its heads towards the target to deal average Red Damage; it has a 20% chance to sting with its tail-head, dealing Red Damage, and an 80% chance to bite, dealing Red Damage on attack. These attacks deal damage to all targets in range (a little longer than the range of a spear). When the clown is defeated, it will spawn three Crimson Dawns in random hallways. Multiple Crimson Dawns can spawn in the same hallway.

    When all the spawned clowns are defeated (including the Dawns spawned after the Noon's death), the event will end, displaying a final message.

    When the event occurs, the single entity takes its time to roam across the place, regularly stopping to attack clerks, who it takes 3-4 hits to kill. By the time these appear, the player should possess agents with enough defenses and HP to resist them. It is not recommended to suppress it too quickly, since this will spawn minor clowns in random hallways that can steal E-Boxes and reduce Qliphoth Counters. Getting it to low HP and then positioning Agents to intercept the Crimson Dawns before finishing the Noon off should help mitigate the Dawns' effects.

    "In the end, they were bound to life. We existed only to express despair and ire."

    The Ordeal of Green Noon, also known as the Process of Understanding, is designed to annihilate employees effortlessly through high-damage attacks at long range as well as up close.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on the screen, and golem-like mechanical beings with one arm being a saw and the other a gun will spawn in random hallways of the facility, one per department.

    They move slowly, and their guns are always firing when not in close range, dealing Red Damage to the first target in their path per hit. When they get into close range against a target, they will use their saw instead to deal many quick hits of Red Damage to all targets in range, dealing Red Damage in total, which can quickly decrease the HP gauges of most targets. They will occasionally stop in place and compact themselves, presumably to reload or recharge, and they will not attack during this state. They will crumble into pieces upon being defeated.

    After defeating all the robots, the event will end, displaying a final message.

    Like Doubt, this Ordeal focuses exclusively on killing your employees. They easily take advantage of long rooms, such as the main rooms of the Central Command Department, due to their guns always firing in a line. Large groups of Agents with ranged weapons should be used to take them out, with one tanking the Damage by staying in front so the guns don't hit the others. After Bullet Research is unlocked, the player can use RedResist Red Shields to mitigate the damage for the front tank.

    The Ordeal of Indigo Noon, also known as The Sweepers, is designed to simply overwhelm all of a facility's defenses. It is unique, as it is the fifth Ordeal colour, and is the only kind of Indigo Ordeal.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on the screen, and groups of humanoid beings wearing metallic armor that covers their whole body will spawn. They have red eyes/visors, gas masks, hook hands, and tanks on their backs.

    They appear in groups of three members, with 4 groups spawning in different hallways of the facility. They will seek out employees, attacking them with their hooks and inflicting average Black Damage. Occasionally, they will charge and attack 3 times dealing Black Damage to all targets in a short range in front of them. If they walk near a corpse, they will start to butcher it and consume the body, Healing recovering all hp.

    After defeating all the enemies, the event will end, displaying a final message.

    This event is arguably the most difficult Noon, due to the large Black Damage the Sweepers are capable of dealing. Uniquely, the Sweepers take advantage of previous corpses left in the facility. Due to them appearing in groups, they can cause severe damage if they gather to attack a single Agent, and if they kill the target afterwards, they will consume it if possible. Thankfully, the Sweepers don't always stick to groups, occasionally splitting up to cover more ground.

    Swarming a single Sweeper is easy enough with Agents with melee attacks and average Black Defenses, along with a Black Shield if possible. If the scavengers are low in HP and are fighting Clerks, Execution Bullets used on Clerks will remove them from the battle without the Sweepers consuming them.

    "We could only hear the weakest and faintest of their acts. We sought for love and compassion from them."

    The Ordeal of Violet Noon, also known as Grant Us Love, is designed to punish players for idling employees in their main rooms and having a slow suppression response.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on the screen, and dark purple portals will appear on the ceiling of certain Main rooms (including the smaller rooms of Control and Information). Large dark monolith-like stones will fall from above, landing on the floor and dealing Red Damage to those in the room, capable of killing almost any employee. They will only appear in Control, Information, Training, Safety and Upper Central Command, with one spawning per department.

    After landing, they spread dark tentacles and start to constantly deal 1 Black Damage to nearby employees through slamming their tentacles. If the entities aren't suppressed after 30 seconds, they will hide their tentacles and start to glow for a moment. After the charge, they will make the Qliphoth Counter of a random Abnormality in the department drop by 1 and then resume their attacks. They can attempt to lower the Counter of an Abnormality without one or a Tool, but it will do nothing. When defeated, their tentacles will fall limp and the monolith will slump.

    Thanks to a coding error, Violet Noon's opening attack will only damage agents and clerks assigned to that particular department it spawns in, agents of different departments present will not take damage from it.

    After defeating all the entities, the event will end, displaying a final message.

    This Ordeal can cause major damage as soon as it begins. Moving Agents to hallways before the event starts will help to avoid casualties. In addition, you can move Agents to different departments, taking advantage of the coding error mentioned above. Once the monoliths have landed, they exponentially lower in difficulty; even Level 1 Agents can take care of them with minimal help. It is recommended to suppress them quickly since they can decrease the Qliphoth Counter of Abnormalities if they survive for even thirty seconds.

    "To accustom oneself to the taste was an inevitable process."

    The Ordeal of Amber Dusk, also known as the Food Chain, is designed to punish players who do not strategically use the facility terrain and the animations of Abnormalities to their advantage.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on screen, and huge brown worm-like creatures with teeth at the front and different orange tumors on their body will appear in the hallways, one per department.

    These worms spawn on one of the sides of the hallway dealing red damage on spawn, and moving slowly with to the opposite side. They deal Red Damage to targets in front of them every 1.5-2 seconds. If they receive enough damage from a single attack, they will be slowed considerably for next 1-2 seconds.

    If it reaches the opposite side of the room, it will start to birth Amber Dawn worms. These worms roam in the hallway and attack targets in their normal behavior patterns. Afterwards, the Amber Dusk will burrow and go to another random hallway in the facility. The Dawns will follow the Dusk that spawned them, burrowing too and appearing along with the Dusk in another room. The Dusk will only spawn Dawns when there are less than 3 Dawns alive, simply burrowing instead when the condition is not met.

    After defeating all the worms, big and small, the event will end, displaying a final message.

    This Dusk Ordeal provides a decent challenge to the players by the worms overwhelming employees easily. At the start, the big worms appear alone, but once they reach the other side of the hallway, they will spawn minor worms. Defeating them is a dangerous task without proper. The big worms should be defeated first to stop them from spawning more smaller ones when the others are defeated. Attacks should be conducted from the rear of the big worms, to remain out of their attack range.

    "Throwing away our old bodies, we all become one, infinitely continuing the red march."

    The Ordeal of Crimson Dusk, also known as The Struggle at the Climax, is simply meant to disrupt players' operations through requiring a great amount of firepower to take down and then dividing and teleporting to random places in the facility.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on screen, with two big 'round' flesh creatures appearing in randomly chosen hallways. The creatures consist of multiple chunks of flesh, sewn together, with multiple upper limbs as arms, holding a hammer, a cleaver and a spear. On the middle of its body, it has a mouth-hole on it, with two small eyes a the top sides, and with the head of a clown coming out of the mouth-hole.

    The amalgamation clown will quickly roll through the facility's rooms with 100 Movement Speed, preferring to move into hallways that have employees, dealing Red Damage to employees on its path. It will stop randomly, near the entrance to another room or elevator, taking 5-8 seconds to gather its bearings. If employees are near it before it starts to roll again, the clown will use its weapons at melee range, dealing Red Damage to them on a normal attack and Red Damage on a charged, special attack.

    If there are enemies in range, the clown will make a check every 20 seconds to see if it will start rolling again. This check has a 10% + (15% for each failed check) chance to get the clown to start moving again. If no enemies are present it will roll away immediately after getting its bearings. When the Dusk is defeated, the entity will explode in a burst of blood, spawning Crimson Noons where it died. Noons follow their normal behavior, spawning Crimson Dawns as usual when dead.

    When all the clowns are dead, the event will end, displaying a final message.

    This event is the escalation of all the previous Crimson Ordeals. Like Crimson Noon, this event is not very difficult on the surface, since the creatures deal average damage and lack any ranged attacks. The difficult part of the Ordeal will be chasing it down to suppress it. Once it is defeated, it will spawn Noons that will roam the facility. It is recommended to ignore the Noons until both Dusks are dead, before dealing with the Noons one by one to handle the problematic Dawns.

    The Ordeal of Green Dusk, also known as Where We Must Reach, is designed to punish players without threat prioritization.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on screen, and 4 square metallic structures will appear in random hallways of the facility. These structures will be idle for a moment before becoming active. These machines are immobile and don't possess any attacks of their own.

    When active, they will start to charge a small green bar beside them, with an accompanying sound of machinery starting up. Once the bar is charged, the right side of the structure will open and release 3 Green Ordeals, with a 50% chance of each robot being a Green Dawn or a Green Noon. After spawning these, the Green Dusk will enter a cooldown period of 45-60 seconds, becoming idle. The Dawns and Noons will proceed with their usual behavior and won't damage or attack each other.

    All Dusks combined can have a maximum of 15 spawned Dawns and Noons active at the same time. If the number drops below that, any available Dusks will reactive themselves and continue to spawn Dawns and Noons until reaching the cap again. This will continue until the Dusks are destroyed.

    After defeating all the structures and robots, the event will end, displaying a final message.

    This Ordeal is a great challenge due to the mass-production of Green Dawns and Green Noons. Since the structures don't possess any attacks or protection beside their ALEPH-tier defenses and high HP, they can be taken out faster if there are no other threats around. It is better to avoid contact with the attacking robots than to face and defeat them directly since they will respawn if enough robots are killed from the same machine that they came from. After the Dusks are defeated, carefully comb the facility for the rest of the Dawns and Noons.

    "They fought amongst themselves to eat the others."

    The Ordeal of Amber Midnight, also known as the Eternal Meal, is simply meant to kill employees in a mildly unpredictable manner.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on screen. The ground will shake and dust will rise in two random Main Rooms of the facility. After some time, two giant worms will rise from the floors where the ground was shaking. These giant worms appear to be covered with rocks and earth, with rocky teeth and with several big lumps on some parts of them. They will chomp upwards, dealing Red Damage to entities who are in the Main Room, usually killing all but the most Red-resistant Agents and entities. The worms don't possess any defensive attacks but have high health.

    Every 15-20 seconds idle, it will descend into the ground slightly and wriggle, spawning two Amber Dusk worms next to itself. The worms will move to the sides of the Main Room and once reaching them will burrow and move to hallways, before resuming their normal behaviour. Each Amber Midnight can spawn up to 8 Amber Dusks, after which it will not spawn more until some have been suppressed.

    After spawning Amber Dusks (or not), the giant worms will remain for a few seconds before burrowing to a new Main Room and repeating its entry chomp.

    After defeating the giant worms, the event will end, displaying a final message.

    The Ordeal of Green Midnight, also known as Helix of the End, is designed to kill every last employee in the facility through "cleansing" the whole facility in line-based attacks.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on screen as a colossal metallic structure in the form of a shell appears in the Main Room of the Yesod's Information Team. It will crank open, preparing its machinery for the real attack.

    After some set up, two green lasers will be deployed from the structure, the first laser pointing always upwards and the second laser, starting in the same direction, moving clockwise at a slow speed. Both lasers go in a straight line, crossing the whole facility and reaching further than the end of the facility. Any entity caught in any of the lasers will take Black Damage around five times a second. This amount is usually enough to break Shields and liquefy employees almost instantly. This laser also slows the movement speed of anything hit by it by 50%. The structure can be suppressed, and it has a drastic amount of HP, more than any other entity in the facility but the Apocalypse Bird.

    When the second laser reaches its original position again, the lasers will stop functioning for around 30 seconds, before activating again. If it is suppressed, the event will finish and the ending message will appear.

    "We incessantly tried to accept it. We wanted to understand them in our heads by any means, regardless of the consequences."

    The Ordeal of Violet Midnight, also known as The God Delusion, is designed to require players to "kite" the event enemies with moving employees around constantly and not simply sitting several teams in front of the entities simultaneously.

    When the event starts, a message will appear on screen, and four stone shrine-like stones, each one a different colour, will spawn in random hallways of the facility. One of each of these appear: Red, White, Black (purple), and Pale (blue), one for each damage type.

    After appearing, 3 portals with the colour (Red, White, and Purple) of the shrines will appear in random locations on the facility and at different directions. The 'limbs' summoned from each portal will take time to prepare before they attack. There is a 25-30 second interval before a portal of the same damage type appears in the facility. The Pale Shrine has a different effect; an Eye will appear in the background of the facility, travelling randomly across the background.

    Once the shrines drop to 70%, 40% and 10% of their HP, they will summon portals around them to protect themselves, one at each side of the hallway, taking time to prepare and attacking in the same manner as a normal attack. In the case of the Pale Shrine, the Eye will appear by its Shrine instantly.

    Each Shrine has different attacks, detailed below:

    Red Shrine: It summons red portals with Red Hands. These sharp red hands will wait for a few seconds before lunging in its direction and dealing Red Damage to every entity in its way, and after reaching a certain distance its hand will close and go back to the portal. After it has taken certain amounts of damage, it will summon two portals to defend itself, one on each side of the hallway where it is located. These hands will stretch after a few seconds and deal (same as above) large Red Damage to any entity in the way.

    White Shrine: It summons white portals with White Tentacles. These tentacles will float slowly while preparing to unleash an attack, expanding first before attacking in a sweeping movement in a wide arc, dealing White Damage to any entity hit before returning to the portal. After the shrine has taken certain amounts of damage, it will summon two portals to defend itself, one at each side of the hallway where it is located, with the limbs acting like before and sweeping at the hallway, dealing (same as above) large White Damage to any entity in the way.

    Black Shrine: It summons purple portals with Purple Spikes. The spikes will remain still for a few seconds before stretching in its current direction and dealing Black Damage to any entity in its path, returning back to the portal when reaching a certain distance. When the shrine takes a certain amount of damage, it will summon two purple portals to defend itself, one on each side of the hallway, the spikes extending as before and dealing (same as above) large Black Damage to any entity in the way.

    Pale Shrine: This shrine is different from the others, because it summons a meteor-like object in the facility with an eye on its front. This object will spawn along with the shrine, in the same location. Any entity in its area will consistently receive Pale Damage. This meteor will move throughout the facility, phasing in and out at different time intervals, appearing only in hallways and remaining in one for 5-10 seconds before moving to another. While moving, it can also deal Pale Damage to entities it is passing through. When the shrine takes a certain amount of damage, the Eye will move to the Shrine immediately.

    After defeating a shrine, its abilities will be disabled, and it won't be able to summon any more limbs. Any active portals will also disappear. The Eye of the Pale Shrine will disappear immediately as well once defeated. When all the shrines are destroyed, the ending message will appear along with the end of the Ordeal.

    This Ordeal has the ability to attack any part of the facility without the need to send entities to directly fight employees, instead summoning limbs to attack them. The shrines are the only entities that need to be suppressed, but as they lose more HP, they will use their abilities to defend their locations more thoroughly. Each shrine has one absorption immunity, the same damage type as their color, so damaging it with that type will make them recover HP instead losing it.

    The Midnight of White, also known as The Claw, is the fourth and final Ordeal of White. During this event an entity called The Claw is spawned. It is classified as Risk ALEPH. It possesses a high amount of hp. The Claw takes the appearance of a tall man in a business suit with a large iron claw-like gauntlet on his hand and three colored syringes: orange at his elbow, blue at his shoulder and green at his head. It wears a helmet that looks similar to The Naked Nest.

    The Claw has two basic attacks that are used normally.

    The Claw can use its massive claw to swipe overarm or underarm at nearby targets, dealing Red damage to a single target. The Claw can also thrust its claw forwards, before retracting it, with the thrust and the retraction dealing Red damage each to multiple targets. After roughly 30 seconds it will inject itself with one of the syringes that are on its body, triggering different abilities depending on which is injected. The orange and blue injections have a cooldown of 40-45 seconds.

    When using the Orange injection or Serum R, the Claw will crouch down, flicking its claw, before charging at an extremely high Movement Speed horizontally until it hits the end of the facility, dealing Red Damage to anything in its path. When using the Blue injection or Serum W, the Claw will take 15 seconds to open a 'map' of the facility and highlight 8 random employees in the facility, marked with a blue circle. After loading the map, it will crouch down before teleporting to them one at a time and performing a swipe attack, dealing Black damage to the target. After the Claw finishes attacking all marked employees, it will teleport to a random room in the facility. The blue circle can be removed by having a targeted Agent enter a Containment Unit. This attack can be prevented by dealing enough damage before it begins its attack, stunning it for 10~12 seconds, and leaving it open for more attacks. When using the Green injection or Healing Serum K, the Claw will hold its hand out as a green glowing aura floats in its palm, healing after 8~10 seconds. This syringe will only be used if the Claw has lost enough health, and has just used the orange injection, blue injection or its special attack. This healing can be prevented by dealing enough before it begins healing, stunning it for 10~12 seconds, and leaving it open for more attacks. When the Claw's below 25% of its HP, it will use a special attack as soon as it enters a non-stun and non-attack state. The Claw will crouch down and inject all 3 syringes. 6 random employees will be marked with a blue circle. After 6~9 seconds, the Claw will dash towards each of them (similar to the Red Mist's Mimicry dash in Phase 2), and perform a swipe attack before moving to the next. Any entity in the path of the dash will take 60-65 Pale damage, and the swipe attack used on the target will deal Pale damage. While performing this attack, The Claw will be immune to all damage. Similar to Serum W, the blue circle can be removed by having a targeted Agent enter a Containment Unit. This attack has a cool down of 60-85 seconds, but this cooldown can be bypassed if the Claw heals above 25% Max HP using the green injection and then takes enough damage to fall below 25% Max HP again.

    Distortions are powerful, monstrous entities in the City. They are former humans who have been overcome by their emotions, typically having given into the lulling words of a charming voice heard by no one but them. The process by which humans distort is referred to as the Distortion Phenomenon.

    No official announcement regarding Distortions has been offered to the general public, and the average City denizen has a subpar understanding of how they work.

    As of Limbus Company, the Distortion Phenomenon has recently been becoming a niche business venture, as it is made clear that a secondary goal of Limbus Company is to procure and research distorted individuals with their LCD department, partnered with the Distortion Detective team.

    Origin: The Distortion Phenomenon came to be as a result of the White Nights and Dark Days, an attempt at spreading Light across the City which was ultimately cut short. The plan—known as the Seed of Light project—was a project led by Carmen, and later Ayin, to cure the "disease of the mind". It is heavily implied in Leviathan that Carmen's ultimate goal of the aforementioned project was to let people reveal their true selves, unswayed by the world's judgment, yet her assistant Ayin held the belief that such a concept would instead be best in moderation and with consideration of others, similarly to how E.G.O holders function with clear intent opposed to the animalistic emotion of a Distortion. Complimenting Ayin's belief, Angela claims that the Light was spread with the intention of allowing everyone in the City to manifest their own E.G.O and defend themselves.

    Despite the intended seven days needed for the Seed of Light project's fruition, the spread of Light was stopped only three days in by the main L Corp. facility's secretary, Angela. With this limited spread of Light, an "unstable power" was spread as a result, "incubating other possibilities", hence the establishment of the Distortion Phenomenon. City residents could now distort or manifest Effloresced E.G.O upon reaching a significant mental impasse, and either embracing or forgoing Carmen's words.

    The two people at the forefront of the Seed of Light project, Carmen and Ayin, had both become one with the Light before the White Nights and Dark Days as part of the Seed of Light project. Carmen's position in the Light would allow her to watch over the City (and all versions of it across different Mirror Worlds) and preside over both the E.G.O and Distortion phenomena.

    As such, Carmen would use her power within the Light to instigate Distortions. She would prey upon people at their lowest in a conversation heard by her target and no one else. It is impossible to interfere with a naturally occurring Distortion, which "occurs as though it has been ordained by fate itself"; other parties are even physically pushed away during the resulting conversation.

    Although Angela would return the vast majority of the Light to the City at the end of Library of Ruina (close to the entire seven days' worth), this would not mitigate the Distortion Phenomenon, as Carmen would continue to make deliberate attempts to distort the denizens of the City. Carmen's actions still affect the City in the present day of the setting.

    Requirements: Cityfolk can end up a target of the Distortion, regardless of status or location. However, it requires a particularly intense mindset and the wholehearted pursuit of one's own wishes. Angela describes those with the potential to manifest E.G.O or distort as people "who strive to accomplish what they sincerely desire, unbound by any obstacles".

    Then, to be susceptible to distorting, one must experience the complete breakdown of a firmly-held belief in a massive personal shock. In this state of exceptionally heightened emotion, the mind "crumbles".

    For example, victims of the Distortion may be shown to have been working for a meaningful, life-defining goal before realizing it cannot be carried out in a sudden and dramatic event.

    Process: To be targeted by the Distortion is to be spoken to by Carmen herself. Someone undergoing the Distortion process will hear a warm, alluring voice unable to be heard by anyone else. The voice will speak to the target about their present situation and prod them into giving into their heightened feelings, using specific words meant to make them focus on their negative emotions.

    If the target chooses to embrace these feelings, agreeing with Carmen's discernment of their life, they "consent" and therefore distort. Distorting includes transforming into a being which reflects the person's ultimate feelings and desires. Stronger desires will lead to a stronger Distortion.

    Distortions come in all shapes and sizes, tending to appear animalistic or otherworldly, and rarely containing any visual traces of the distortee's human form. Once someone has distorted, they are consumed by the negative emotions which had been so thoroughly heightened, more or less embodying those feelings. As a result, many Distortions are violent, operating on feelings like rage or despair.

    Although some Distortions are unable to be reasoned with, that is not the case for many of them. Depending on the cause for Distortion, many Distortions are capable of acting calmly or participating in regular conversation. They simply prioritize acting on the feelings that had spun them into distorting.

    After enough time passes, a Distortion will turn into an Abnormality, which is an irreversible process.

    "The Distortions we've encountered so far were all people turned into monstrous entities... But the Distortion phenomenon we were asked to handle this time looked more like its namesake—a "phenomenon" that covered an entire street. Ezra says it's called a "Location-type Distortion"." "- After completing the contract, I was able to hear more about how a Distortion can encroach upon its enviroment. I think the Sinners and I have seen that happen before. There were times when the scenery around us changed even though we didn't enter the Fathoms of someone's Ego or the Dungeon of the Fathoms." "- Actually, didn't the same kind of thing happen with people who Effloresced their E.G.O...? I wonder what the difference is."

    While it was possible to manifest Effloresced E.G.O even prior to the event, following the White Nights and Dark Days, E.G.O became intrinsically linked to the Distortion Phenomenon. Both phenomena require the same set up: a world-shattering event leading to intense emotion, and a visit from Carmen. However, while Distortions are formed by the target agreeing with Carmen's words, E.G.O is instead manifested by denying them. As such, the line between distorting and manifesting E.G.O is a thin one, similar to walking a tightrope. Still, it is not equally easy to end up on either side. The outcome is considerably rigged in favor of the target distorting, considering they would be both in a very fragile state of mind and being talked into it by Carmen. It is not an easy feat to reject Carmen's comforting words and manifest one's own E.G.O.

    While Distortions are generally associated with antagonistic efforts and E.G.O with heroic efforts, there is no such rule of thumb. Dongrang, for example, would manifest E.G.O on the basis of killing Yi Sang and destroying everything weighing him to the past. What mattered was that Carmen was telling him it was hopeless, and Dongrang disagreed with that.

    Additionally, Distortions are complete transformations from one's human self, while E.G.O takes the form of something separate. This is most frequently some kind of armor and/or weapon to be brandished by the person.

    Once someone has managed to manifest E.G.O, they gain an immunity to the Distortion Phenomenon. However, only managing to manifest an incomplete or Volatile E.G.O (as in Philip's case) will still leave the user susceptible to distorting.

    Distortions are not a permanent state of being. In order to bring a Distortion back to their status of humanity, one must appeal to the reason why they distorted in the first place. Faust describes the process as tearing down the wall they have constructed around their heart using methods the Distortion would approve of. The method should in some way convince them "otherwise" in the face of the reality which caused them to distort.

    A human who has broken free from the Distortion does not gain immunity to it. Instead, people are capable of distorting and undistorting an infinite number of times. However, having once distorted also does not mean gaining an immunity to manifesting E.G.O. It is entirely possible to distort, undistort, and then manifest E.G.O.

    Peccatula are referred to as the origins and byproducts of the Distortion phenomena. Like Abnormalities, Peccatula are very similar to Distortions, but still a different kind of entity. However, Peccatula behavior more closely resembles beasts, and they are more aggressive than Distortions are. Peccatula also always come in seven different types (each with at least three "evolutions"). While Distortions are unique and will reflect something deep within the heart of the affected person, Peccatula, on the other hand, entirely dispose of the transformed's individuality. The only thing that could be considered a remainder of the person-turned-Peccatulum is the type of Peccatula they come to be, which is based on the Sin they embodied in life.

    Specifically, Peccatula arise when someone tries and "fails" to distort. It is currently unknown how or why someone might fail to distort. Rather, LCE Researcher Hohenheim states that he believes turning into either a Distortion or a Peccatulum is a simple game of chance with an equal 50/50 shot for either outcome. However, this is in the context of the Monolith, and it is not entirely clear if his theory applies to all cases of Distortion or just those that are Monolith-induced.

    A Monolith is an artifact capable of forcing an individual into distorting or turning into a Peccatulum. It has the appearance of a flat black stele, around two meters tall. Similarly to the Golden Boughs, Monoliths have recently started appearing around the City, scattered throughout the Backstreets of the various Districts, where they have caught the attention of the Five Fingers and other Syndicates, as well as that of a number of Wings. Limbus Company began its research on the artifacts and recovery expeditions much earlier than other factions and firms, allowing them to create a large stock that makes them the main providers of Monoliths in the City. Specifically, it is the LCA that works to retrieve the Monoliths, after which they are transferred to Moses and her team.

    Golden Boughs and Monoliths share other similarities. Much like a Bough, a Monolith amplifies and releases feeling— unlike a Bough, the Monolith releases a "signal" that specifically pushes someone to face the emotions boiling within their mind, therefore pushing them into distorting. A Distortion caused by a Monolith is noted to differ from a naturally occurring Distortion, as it can be cut short by external forces, such as knocking out the affected individual. Despite this, its appears the voice of the Distortion is still involved in Monolith-induced Distortion. A Monolith's effect may also turn the individual into a Peccatulum, however. Researcher Hohenheim describes this as a simple "game of chance", believing there to be a 50/50 shot of either becoming a Distortion or Peccatulum.

    Additionally, unlike the Bough, the Monolith is described as a supposedly human-made device with an inner mechanism, which can be turned on or off. Dante describes this process of "locking down" the Monolith as the act of drawing a trail of light over the device.

    Monoliths are also a part of Limbus Company's purchase catalogue. During November 984, T Corp. Executive Director Hubert requested to purchase the Company's entire stock of Monoliths, which Faust ultimately permitted.

    Peccatula are entities similar to Distortions that are commonly encountered in story dungeons and the Mirror Dungeon.

    While they are similar to Distortions, Peccatula are more beast-like, showing higher levels of aggression and antagonism. They appear to come from the same source as a Distortion, wherein a being that fails to become a Distortion instead becomes a Peccatulum. Unlike Distortions, the transformation into a Peccatulum does not seem to be revertible.

    The kind of Peccatula one transforms into depends on the types of Sin that they have embodied in life. There have been seven unique types of Peccatula observed corresponding to each Sin. Within these seven Sin types, Peccatula further have different evolutions or stages, with higher Stages being more mature and stronger.

    Irae: Peccatulum Irae is a dark scrawny figure whose entire body appears to be made up of rigid branch-like structures with glowing red cracks and flickering particles throughout. Two branches emerge from the front half of its body that split into what appear to be humanoid hands resting their fingertips on the ground. Its head has an elongated snout, almost like a beak, one large red eye, and two glowing antennae that twitch frequently.

    Its first evolution variant shows a much brawny figure compared to its original variant, making up more of muscular thick structures with similar glowing red cracks and flickering particles. The red eyes on its head appears much larger and fiercer, with its beak looking more like a dangerously-large snout.

    Its second evolution variant appears more golem-like compared to its previous variant. Instead of standing quadruped it instead stands upright on four small legs, with its former front legs replaced with two giant heat-blazing sickle appendages. Its eye can be fully seen at the top, brazen in blood red with red fire flickering above its eyeballs. The size of it is much larger than its first variant, towering over most humanoids.

    Luxuriae: Peccatulum Luxuriae is a large pale flesh-coloured four-legged creature with vein-like patterns across its body. It has a long, flat tail like a salamander. Large bumps form along its spine that increase in size as they get closer to the head, which is heavily wrinkled, partitioned down the middle, and shaped like a shield. One bloodshot orange eyeball pops out from the right side of its "face." Two scrawny hands made of flesh twisted around each other in the form of a double helix can emerge from its head to attack its enemies.

    Its first evolution variant appears much taller and larger, having taken on an erect posture. Its "face" remains mostly the same, though four arm appendages now appear to hold it and control its opening. Instead of a pair of hands, a large fleshy spike now emerges from its face to attack. Instead of moving on four legs, it now moves with its body, supported by its tail and two legs.

    Pigritiae: Peccatulum Pigritiae is a large round rock-like figure with wide red cracks along its body, all of which meet at its center, which has a single yellow eyeball nestled deep inside. In battle, red humanoid arms appear from the cracks to attack units.

    Its first evolution variant shows a smaller rock with four other rocks jutting near its center, with blood veins supporting the rock-like formation in the form of a cross. Its yellow eyeball still rests at the center of the rock figure, but has gained more mobility in the terms of having red veins aiding it in movement.

    Gulae: Peccatulum Gulae is a densely packed bundle of grey flowers with dark green stems trailing behind them. At the center of each flower is an inward spiral of teeth, like a leech's mouth. A few leaves on the stems reach outward, in front of the flowers, and twitch frequently. A few green eyeballs dangle from the highest parts of each stem.

    Its first evolution variant shows a much larger loose stalks of 3 grey cottony flowers with a hole gaping open in the middle, messily coated with blood. On the stalks connecting the flowers is a green eye staring in the middle of the stems.

    Morositatis: Peccatulum Morositatis is a floating transparent gelatinous figure filled with a blue fluid of some sort. The lower half of its body protrudes outward and a tangled bunch of pink organs can be seen inside. One light blue eyeball floats at the top of the figure, connected to the lower organs by a single thin cable. Two "arms" reach outward from between the "head" and "body" of the figure and curl back into a spiral shape.

    Its first evolution appears much larger than its original form, its internal organs at the lower half are more visible with more organs resembling that of humans in clearer view. One light blue eyeballs floats over its newly formed head resembling that of a shrimp, floating with more tiny tentacles at the bottom.

    Superbiae: Peccatulum Superbiae is a large blue wheel-shaped entity with spikes along its rim. Red and flesh-colored scraps are tied around its spokes. At the very center of the wheel is one dark blue eyeball.

    Its first evolution shows little difference from initial form. However, the blue wheel is much larger, with bigger spikes along the rim, and a pair of blood vein-like arm appendages sticking out below the wheels.

    Invidiae: Currently, Peccatulum Invidiae has only appeared to exist as exact replicas of Sinners and Sinner Identities, the only visual discrepancy being them shrouded in a dark purple mist. Peccatulum Invidiae? instances also radiates a violet electrical current around itself. Notably, Peccatulum Invidiae instances are capable of utilizing Support Passives and E.G.Os.

    While Invidiae can appear as replicas, any attempt of speech, notably when using (corroded) E.G.O, would be in the form of a loud garbled gibberish ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ tone.

    The true form of Peccatulum Invidiae can be glimpsed through their corpses. Dead Peccatulum Invidiae instances appear similar to the corpses of other dead Peccatula, being a bulblike mass of flesh with a single purple eye at the center.

    Notably, unevolved Peccatulum Invidiae and the Stage 2 evolved form (Peccatulum Invidiae?) appears only to be differentiated by additional strength, as denoted by the Peccatulum Invidiae? buff on evolved instances.

    Standard Training-Dummy Rabbit (0-00-00) is a TETH class Abnormality resembling a training dummy. It has a primarily white round body with a head that features markings resembling eyes and a mouth, yellow cheeks, and protrusions that resemble ears.

    Its special ability activates when its Qliphoth Counter reaches 0. It will decrease by 1 when Repression Repression is used on it.

    When the counter is depleted, the Abnormality will breach but will remain immobile outside the containment's door. It possesses low HP at 100 and doesn't have any other special abilities. It is easy to suppress and will flip upside down when defeated.

    Due to this Abnormality being docile and harmless, it has been used as a training dummy for up-and-coming managers. Despite being called 'Dummy Rabbit', it doesn't like carrots. It likes to follow people and it also believes itself to be an employee of the facility.

    Not much else is known about how it originated, or if it was artificially made or not.

    "An Abnormality in the shape of a training dummy used to train up-and-coming managers."

    "Rumor has it this Abnormality was chosen to be used for training as it is the most docile and tame of any that we have extracted.

    "I am coming to you. You, who will be reduced to ash like me." - Scorched Girl.

    The Scorched Girl (F-01-02) is a TETH class Abnormality in the form of a charred figure resembling a young girl. She has white eyes, a white open mouth, two thin legs, scorched ponytails, and the burnt tip of a lit match penetrating her torso.

    Scorched Girl's ability will trigger when her Qliphoth Counter reaches 0. Her Qliphoth Counter can fluctuate in the following ways:

    Decrease by 1 with a 50% chance when getting a Normal Work Result. Decrease by 1 with a 70% chance when getting a Bad Work Result. Once her ability activates, she will breach containment, sobbing on the way, and will target a random employee (Agent or Clerk), prioritizing those within the same department. Her target will be indicated by a match above said employee. She possesses very low HP, slow Movement speed, and she will try to reach the employee by walking through the rooms between them. 5 seconds after she reaches the same room as the marked employee, she will explode, dealing a very large amount of Red Damage (300) to all entities in the room. Afterward, she will reappear in her Containment Unit and her Qliphoth Counter will be reset.

    "Managerial Tips 1" "When the work result was Normal, the Qliphoth Counter lowered with a normal probability." "Managerial Tips 2" "When the work result was Bad, the Qliphoth Counter lowered with a high probability." "Managerial Tips 3" "Scorched Girl, who had escaped, exploded after being near their target for 5 seconds. Many of the staff nearby sustained burns from the incident."

    She cannot target employees that are working on Abnormalities. If the marked employee dies or begins work on an Abnormality before she's able to reach them, the mark will move to another available employee. If she cannot target any employee within the facility, she will explode in a department's main room.

    Scorched Girl was once a girl who sold matches. She had a somewhat miserable life, but in the lit matches, she saw visions of a better one in the warmth provided by them. It is most likely that in her obsessive longing for a better life, she accidentally started a fire and was burned to death. The Abnormality in itself is her soul, and it lives on with a match infused with it as a representation of her longing to be a part of the better life she saw.

    Scorched Girl responds to the four works in order of best to worst: Insight, Repression and Instinct, and Attachment Attachment.

    Like all Abnormalities, her energy output is determined by the number of PE Boxes (Positive Enkephalin boxes) at the end of the interaction.

    Scorched Girl's emotional state is divided into 3 sections: Bad, Normal, and Good. Completing 0-4 E Boxes will cause her to feel Distressed, completing 5-7 will cause her to feel Normal, and 8-12 will make her Happy. Her usual cooldown timer after a task is around 15 seconds. Her Qliphoth Counter is 2.

    "In the name of Love and Justice~ Here comes Magical Girl!" - The Queen of Hatred.

    The Queen of Hatred, originally known as O-01-04 and Magical Girl / Magical Girl of Love, is a WAW class Abnormality resembling a young, pale-skinned girl with 4 fingers. She has large, yellow, stylized eyes. Her long hair has a pastel blue and purple gradient as coloration with two strands curled away in the shape of antenna. She wears white tights with pink accents, a pink, layered/pleated skirt, a pink shirt with white sleeves, and a large pink ribbon on her chest to match. She has two wing-like pieces on her shoulders and a pink and black heart clip in her hair. Beside her is a pink staff topped with a winged a star which has a heart-shaped hole at its center. Its grip is striped with yellow and pink, and the base is tipped with a pale blue heart with a pink star in the center.

    The Abnormality tends to have a cheery disposition, possessing a desire to fight and defeat evil. However, it is also prone to bouts of depression and hysteria which can cause it to transform into a hostile entity.

    After transforming, the Queen of Hatred resembles a winged snake with blue and pink scales and black empty eyes. It has a pair of fur-covered wings lined with purple and pink feathers. Its back is lined with heart-shaped scales. A pair of arms are attached to its neck, possessing purple hands with long bony fingers. Its pink bowtie serves as the only vestige of its previous form.

    She was originally a heroic magical girl, fighting bad guys for the sake of peace. However, after having defeated the last villain, she fell into a deep existential crisis, as she thought the world did not need her anymore. As a result, she will enter a phase of depression should any evil fail to happen. If this keeps up, she will eventually turn into an evil form as a counterbalance to the lack of evil in the surroundings.

    The Queen of Hatred shares her story with The King of Greed and The Knight of Despair, with all three being 'Magical Girls' who are mentioned to be sisters. She was one of the 'heroes' who wished to protect the world, but due to her own obsession, she became unstable.

    Originally existing to keep the peace of the world, she becomes hysteric in moments of peace without any 'bad guys' to fight against. For balance, there must be evil as well as good, and if there is no 'evil', she fulfills that part by transforming and undertaking the role of a villain. However, whenever she is restored to usual after these events, she lacks all memory of both what happened and her transformation taking place.

    Star Attack: The Queen of Hatred's most common attack. She swipes with her staff, shooting stars from long range that deal around 13-15 Black Damage to targets hit and recover the HP and SP of employees hit by the same amount. Finger Gun Attack/'Arcana Beats': A more uncommon attack used in tandem with her stars. She will raise one arm and form a gun-shape with her fingers as her staff floats in front of her, before firing and launching a wave of energy dealing 80-120 Black Damage to targets hit. Employees hit by the attack will recover 40-60 HP and SP. This attack has an initial cooldown of 12-16 seconds, and a cooldown of 8-12 seconds for every subsequent use.

    Arcana Beats: A weaker version of Arcana slave that is a short ranged blast.

    Laser Attack/'Arcana Slave': Occasionally she will charge a powerful attack, holding out her staff and creating an array of rings and heart-shaped figures. While charging her attack, the Queen of Hatred will become immune to all damage. This then fires a piercing laser that goes across the facility in a horizontal line, dealing 12-15 Black Damage every 0.5 seconds to any hostile entities, while restoring the HP of employees by 4-5 and the SP of employees by 7-8. This laser lasts for 10 seconds and, if it is consistently hitting enemies, will increase its size and damage after 5 seconds, strengthening to 15-18 Black Damage. After she concludes her attack, she will stop to rest, unable to move or attack for 5-8 seconds. If there are no hostile entities near her, she will teleport to another location with a hostile entity.

    "A humanoid Abnormality that looks like it would go and fight villains for peace and justice at any moment." "It is friendly toward every employee and is able to engage in casual conversation.

"The definition of “good” and “evil” are fixed in its mind.

Its stuffing spills out from multiple tears in its fabric.

    Its special ability is activated when the same employee works on Happy Teddy Bear's containment twice in a row. The second time the employee enters the room it will hug the employee tightly, choking them to death. Triggering its ability will also consume 1 work. This can be avoided by alternating which employees are sent in to work with Happy Teddy Bear.

    The employee trapped during the hug will enter into an 'Out of Control' state and will die only after the task waiting time ends.

    Happy Teddy Bear was packaged in a big, decorated box for the birthday of a seven year old girl. Happy Teddy Bear enjoyed all the nights with the child, and fondly remembers all the hugs that she gave to it. As time passed, the child grew up, and Happy Teddy Bear was abandoned underneath a dresser. It never forgot the girl.

At some point in the tale, the girl finds an executioner and begs to him to cut her feet off. After that, the red shoes continue to dance with her amputated feet still in them. Eventually, the girl is granted leave to heaven by a merciful angel.

    " 'Do you remember this melody? The professor used to play this song when the students were sleepy. Happy birthday.' " - Abnormality Log.

    Theresia (T-09-09) is a Risk TETH Tool Abnormality in the form of an ornate and bloodied music box that rests on a blood-soaked wooden stool. There's a wind-up key on the side of the music box and a ballerina performing an arabesque pose on its top. While in use, a cacophonous music box tune can be heard.

    Theresia's ability triggers when an employee uses it. During use, a tune will play and over time, employees of the same department as the Abnormality will recover 10 SP every 5 seconds; even if they are panicking. If an Agent uses Theresia for more than 30 seconds, the Agent will Panic and exit the Containment Unit. If the Agent using it does not belong to the Department where Theresia is located, the user will not recover SP. The Agent can be ordered to leave the Containment Unit at any time.

    “There was an experiment on the effects that the said Abnormality’s had on people. We tested it among [Redacted] employees. We were trying to find out what they were thinking: the common words, common images, common feelings they had while they were listening to the music. It was a surprise to find that an image of a long-haired girl, a garden filled with flowers, ‘siblings’, and ‘nostalgia’ were all common themes. Oh, and also ‘frightening’. That’s all we found out. There was no set conclusion from this experiment.”

    "She was so talkative before, yet in the end, loneliness was the only listener."

    Old Lady, also originally known as O-01-12, is a TETH class Abnormality. She is an elderly woman who sits in a rocking chair and wears a long faded blue skirt, a faded purple blouse, and a white bonnet. The Abnormality itself is the loneliest creature of all abnormalities and she will spend her day by telling her story to others when they are in her room and will not stop telling her stories until her listener leaves. But her stories are soaked with curse and listening to it can cause psychological damage to those without high mental capabilities.

    "Managerial Tips 1" "When an Abnormality other than Old Lady was worked with, the Qliphoth Counter lowered." "Managerial Tips 2" "When the Qliphoth Counter reached 0, black shapes formed inside the Containment Unit. We’ve decided to dub these shapes “solitude” based on the condition in which they form." "Managerial Tips 3" "When the solitude piled up, it stuck to when they entered the Containment Unit." "Managerial Tips 4" " had to deal with continuous WHITE damage until the solitude eventually fell off. Until it was gone, they could not move or do any work."

    An Abnormality taking the form of an old and feeble woman. Anytime someone enters its Containment Unit, it will talk to that person." "What it tells differs from time to time, however, it will always commence with “Dearie, dearie, would you like to hear a story?”. This story could be a lullaby, an unspecified poem, a nursery rhyme, a common children’s story, or something entirely new. It knows every children’s story and will not stop recounting until the listener finally leaves" She may be the loneliest of all the Abnormalities. She’s filled with loneliness, and tells her tales to fill that void. Well, every story needs a listener. When someone enters her room, she’ll try to fill that void. Of course, listening to her is a very dangerous thing. She knows every story on Earth and even those that cannot possibly exist. Our minds can’t cope with such a thing. She could fry your brain in an instant.
