Splatoon (Full games, 1, 2, 3)

The Inklings celebrating their victory in the Great Turf War, as depicted in {{char}}'s Sunken Scroll 14. Over 100 years before the events of {{char}} - Inkopolis, Splatsville, and Calamari County are founded. Calamari County's customary chorus is composed to celebrate and respect the bounty of the sea. 127 years before the events of {{char}} - Craig Cuttlefish is born. Over 100 years before the events of {{char}} - DJ Octavio is born. Around 100 years before the events of {{char}} - Sea levels rise again, forcing the Inklings and Octarians in Inkadia to fight over the remaining dry land. Around that time, the Octarians build the Great Octoweapons. It is implied that the Splatlands were not affected by this flooding in the same way, due to the three lights that appeared and consumed the disaster.[13] As a result, the Great Turf War does not appear to have affected the Splatlands, at least not to the same extent as Inkadia, and Inklings and Octarians in the area seem to have remained at peace with each other. It is unknown if the flood was a global event that caused a world war. And even if that was the case, it is known that just like many of the Splatlands' Octolings, others in other regions and countries of the world could also have avoided the consequences of the conflict, such as Mashup himself and his family who seem to have always lived on the surface since before the events of {{char}}. During the Great Turf War - Cap'n Cuttlefish forms the original Squidbeak {{char}} as its leader, together with two other Inkling members, Sheldon's grandfather Ammoses Shellendorf, and possibly Judd. During the Great Turf War - Ammoses Shellendorf creates blueprints for several weapons, including the Hero Shot. During the Great Turf War - The Octarians are victorious throughout the first battles of the Great War, aided by their Great Octoweapons, as well as the fact that Inklings were unable to wake up early enough in the morning to defend themselves.[14] During the Great Turf War - As the Octarians storm the Inkling's central stronghold, a power cord accidentally being unplugged causes their weaponry to deactivate, which allows the Inklings to defeat them. Judd delivers the verdict of the Inklings' victory.[5][15] After the Great Turf War - The Octarians are forced into hiding into Octo Valley and Octo Canyon, where they live in underground domes once built by humans as shelters.[16] After the Great Turf War - Inkopolis' Great Zapfish is born, and its electricity is used to power the city.[5] After the Great Turf War - In the wake of the Inkling's victory, Turf Wars go on to become a popular competitive sport. Before the events of {{char}} Callie and Marie winning the Youth Folk-Singing Contest, as shown in {{char}}'s Sunken Scroll 17. Before the events of {{char}} - The Octarians' underground domes show signs of collapsing, and begin to lose power. At least 34 years before the events of {{char}} - Barry C. is born.[17] 23 years before the events of {{char}} - Spyke is born. 19 years before the events of {{char}} - Pearl is born.[18] Likely 17 years before the events of {{char}} - Callie and Marie are born in Calamari County. 16 years before the events of {{char}} - Marina is born.[18] At least 14 years before the events of {{char}} - Harmony is born.[17] At least 14 years before the events of {{char}} - The former Agent 3 is born. At least 12 years before the events of {{char}} - Agent 4 and Agent 8 are born. At least 7 years before the events of {{char}} - The current Agent 3 is born. Some years before the events of {{char}} - Inkopolis hosts its first annual Youth Folk-Singing Contest. Callie and Marie win the contest, and their career and fame as singers begin.[19] Pearl also participates in a Youth Folk-Singing Contest, though it is unknown if it is exactly the same event that Callie and Marie participated in, or a contest from a later year. The destructive power of her voice causes some damage to the event's venue.[20] Events of {{char}} Main article: {{char}} Inkopolis Plaza Before the events of {{char}} - After moving to Inkopolis, Callie and Marie, now known as the Squid Sisters, begin their career as hosts of the Inkopolis News program, where they announce the current battle stages and Splatfests. Annie, Moe, Crusty Sean, Jelonzo, and Sheldon begin operating their shops at Booyah Base. Spyke also works from a back-alley in Inkopolis Plaza. Squid Squad becomes active, marking a turning point in Inkling music. Their song Splattack! is considered to have set the standard for battle music, and Now or Never! goes onto be covered by numerous other musical groups. Octo Valley Main article: Octo Valley (mode)#Story Agent 3's battle with DJ Octavio, as depicted in {{char}} 2 - Sunken Scroll 2. Shortly before the events of Octo Valley - The Great Zapfish providing electricity to Inkopolis is stolen by the Octarians, along with several smaller Zapfish. A young Inkling, having recently moved to Inkopolis,[21] follows Cap'n Cuttlefish down a manhole in the Plaza, ending up in Octo Valley. Cap'n Cuttlefish recruits the Inkling as Agent 3 of the New Squidbeak {{char}}, enlisting them to help recover the stolen Zapfish. With Cap'n Cuttlefish's guidance, Agent 3 recovers several Zapfish and does battle with three of the Great Octoweapons. After the defeat of the Octowhirl, Cuttlefish is captured by DJ Octavio, though his identity is not known to Agent 3 at that point. Having received an SOS signal from Cap'n Cuttlefish, Agent 1 and Agent 2 make contact with Agent 3, taking over the role of guiding them through Octo Valley, now with the new goal of rescuing Cap'n Cuttlefish. After recovering a few more Zapfish, Agent 3 then battles the Octomaw, before eventually reaching the final area of Octo Valley. After clearing this area, they then finally reach DJ Octavio. At one point during Agent 3's battle with DJ Octavio, Agents 1 and 2 hijack the radio waves of Octavio's performance to play Calamari Inkantation. This battle is witnessed by many Octarians, being interpreted as a concert with DJ Octavio as the opening act for the Squid Sisters.[22] At least two known Octarians, Marina and Agent 8, are inspired by the song to defect from the Octarian military after the battle and before the events of {{char}} 2.[5] After DJ Octavio's defeat, Cap'n Cuttlefish is rescued and the Great Zapfish is recovered, restoring Inkopolis' power supply. DJ Octavio is imprisoned in a snow globe to prevent him from causing further trouble. Events of Squid Sisters Stories Main article: Squid Sisters Stories The events of Squid Sisters Stories were set in between the events of {{char}} and {{char}} 2, starting with the final Splatfest of the first game. Just over one year into their career as Inkopolis News presenters, the Squid Sisters host their final Splatfest, with Marie winning. This final Splatfest causes the Squid Sisters to reach new heights of popularity, becoming the biggest stars of Inkling society. Callie and Marie spend an increasing amount of time apart as their careers take different paths following the release of their solo singles. Callie makes many guest appearances on variety shows, where filming often continues until late at night. Meanwhile, Marie becomes a frequent guest on music shows, in addition to performing solo at live concerts. Crusty Sean quits his job as the store manager of Shrimp Kicks in order to open a food truck, the Crust Bucket. Annie also apparently quits her job at Cooler Heads, in search of a more detail-oriented job involving less interaction with people. Marie takes a trip to Calamari County to visit her parents, intending to stay for three days. She invites Callie to go with her on the train, but due to having an appointment Callie refuses and promises to meet up with Marie there the following day. The day Callie is meant to meet Marie in Calamari County, she fails to show up entirely. Marie attempts to get into contact with Callie through her manager and by calling their shared apartment, but is unsuccessful. Marie cuts her trip short and returns to Inkopolis to search for Callie. Finding their apartment empty with no sign of Callie, Marie then goes to Octo Valley, finding Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack deserted but otherwise undisturbed, with the exception of the snow globe beside it that previously contained DJ Octavio having been shattered. Marie returns to Inkopolis to find that the Great Zapfish has once again been stolen, though the citizens of Inkopolis seem relatively unfazed by the situation as they expect it will not be long before it is returned. In hopes of quickly finding help, Marie goes to Inkopolis Square in hopes of recruiting someone to aid in finding Callie and the stolen Zapfish, leading into the events of {{char}} 2's Octo Canyon. Events of {{char}} 2 Main article: {{char}} 2 {{char}} 2 takes place two years after the events of {{char}}. Before the events of {{char}} 2 - The Ark Polaris crash-lands back on Earth, with all of its inhabitants dying in the process, with the sole exception of one of the bears, then known as Bear #03. Bear #03, having somehow gained knowledge from thousands of years of dreaming, uses the navigational equipment of the Ark Polaris to search for another mammal left on Earth, instead finding the ruins of Alterna. He repairs the facilities of the settlement and begins using them to research the remaining liquid crystals. Eventually, by compounding the crystals with his own fur, he learns to create a substance capable of turning any creature it touches into a mammal. [23] Inkopolis Square Before the events of {{char}} 2 - Grizzco Industries is founded by Bear #03, now known as Mr. Grizz, for the purpose of acquiring the Golden Eggs that were to be used to power the Spirit Lifter,[24] which also had an unknown role in the creation of Fuzzy Ooze.[23] Before the events of {{char}} 2 - Marina defects from the Octarian army to become a citizen of Inkopolis after listening to the Calamari Inkantation, becoming a huge fan of the Squid Sisters in the process. She meets Pearl, and the two eventually become the pop idol duo Off the Hook. Before the events of {{char}} 2 - Jelfonzo is born after splitting off from Jelonzo[25], and goes on to run his own clothes store, Ye Olde Cloth Shoppe. About a year and a half before the events of {{char}} 2 - Inkopolis Square, once a run-down area with a minor crime problem, undergoes redevelopment efforts, eventually becoming a popular hangout spot for Inkling youth.[26] Three months before the events of {{char}} 2 - A cleaner at Calamari Research Labs, where Judd's cryogenic capsule is stored as a historical relic, accidentally unplugs the capsule. This causes the cell stored in the capsule to multiply, leading to Li'l Judd being born.[4][27] Cap'n Cuttlefish and Agent 3 go on a research trip to the cape, leading to their absence for the events of Octo Canyon, and possibly setting up their presence in Octo Expansion.[28] The Salmonids presumably begin their great migration that occurs every 70 years, moving to waters near Inkopolis.[29] Annie starts an online retail service in the form of the SplatNet Gear Shop. Squid Squad disbands, with the band's former bassist, Quinn, eventually becoming part of the new musical duo Diss-Pair. The Chirpy Chips also briefly disband at some point, but reunite shortly after with the release of Blitz It! and Wave Prism.[7] Ammo Knights relocates to Inkopolis Square's Galleria, with Sheldon continuing to run the store. Off the Hook become the hosts of Inkopolis News, which is now filmed in Inkopolis Square, taking on the responsibility of announcing the current battle stages and Splatfests. Octo Canyon Main article: Octo Canyon (mode)#Story Picking up where Squid Sisters Stories left off, Marie recruits Agent 4 to the New Squidbeak {{char}} in order to help find Callie and the stolen Zapfish in Octo Canyon. After Agent 4 defeats the first Octoboss they encounter, Marie calls in Sheldon to assist them as well by providing in-development weapons to Agent 4. Agent 4 in a ride rail. Eventually, after the defeat of Neo Octostomp, a brainwashed Callie makes contact with Agent 4 and Marie, telling them to leave. Marie does not initially recognize the caller as Callie, until she contacts them again after the defeat of the Octo Shower, when she recognizes her by the fact that she is holding the phone upside down. With Marie shocked by the realization that Callie is working with the Octarians, she continues guiding Agent 4 through Cephalon HQ until they eventually reach the final boss. Here, DJ Octavio reveals that he is the one responsible for Callie's disappearance, having brainwashed her with a pair of "hypnoshades". Agent 4 does battle with DJ Octavio and the brainwashed Callie, as the two perform a remixed version of Callie's song Bomb Rush Blush. Eventually, Marie and Sheldon arrive, with Sheldon driving a flying truck that Marie stands on. Marie takes aim and shoots Callie's hypnoshades off with a charger, then begins singing her own song in an attempt to snap her out of her hypnosis, resulting in a combination of their two solo songs being performed. This eventually leads to the final phase of the battle, where Callie, freed from her hypnosis, joins Marie in singing Spicy Calamari Inkantation as Agent 4 defeats DJ Octavio with a modified Rainmaker provided by Sheldon. With DJ Octavio defeated once more, the Great Zapfish is returned again to Inkopolis, now resting around Deca Tower, and Callie and Marie are reunited. Off the Hook report on these events on Inkopolis News, playing the Squid Sisters' new single Fresh Start on their program to celebrate. Octo Expansion Main article: Octo Expansion#Story Octo Expansion is written so that it could possibly happen both before or after the events of {{char}} 2's Octo Canyon, depending on the order they are played in. As such, its placement in the timeline is not entirely certain.[7] Over the course of 12,000 years leading up to the events of Octo Expansion - As Inkling and Octarian society develops, Commander Tartar, the artificial intelligence created by the professor, strays from its original intended purpose of passing on humanity's knowledge. Its disgust for the new species' needless warfare and obsession with fashion, as well as its insanity caused by thousands of years of isolation,[8] leads it to give itself a new directive of destroying the current life on Earth and creating a new form of life to replace it. An unspecified amount of time before the events of Octo Expansion - Kamabo Corporation is founded by Commander Tartar, for the purpose of acquiring DNA from test subjects to be used to create new life after the planned eradication of Inkling society. This DNA is acquired by blending subjects who complete the tests given to them by Kamabo Co. into a unique kind of ink, which is used to "sanitize" a number of Octarians. Kamabo Co. also begins to operate the Deepsea Metro, which is used both to transport the company's test subjects to stations and as a regular subway by the denizens of the deep. Numerous identical beings, all known as C.Q. Cumber, are also at some point created by Kamabo Co. in order to operate the Deepsea Metro.[30] Before the events of Octo Expansion - Exactly 10,007 subjects enter Kamabo Co.'s testing program, though it is unknown exactly how many of these subjects were killed for their DNA. At least one subject, Iso Padre, is known to be currently surviving, having given up on the program after only completing two stations, although he was never intended to be blended.[31] Shortly before the events of Octo Expansion - Agent 3 battles an Octoling in Octo Valley. This battle is interrupted when both of them are attacked by an unknown assailant. Agent 3 and the Octoling, along with Cap'n Cuttlefish, are then presumably captured and taken to the Deepsea Metro. During the events of Octo Expansion: The Octoling, now having lost all memory, is awoken in an abandoned subway station by Cap'n Cuttlefish. Cuttlefish calls a truce so that they can find a way to escape together. After finding a way through this abandoned area, the Octoling and Cuttlefish find themselves in the metro's Central Station, which is empty except for a ringing telephone, which the Octoling answers. Screenshot of Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish first entrance to the Deepsea Metro's Central Station. The Telephone tells the Octoling about "the promised land", which it says they can only reach if they prove themselves by collecting the four "thangs". It gives them a CQ-80 and CQ Card, and deems them "applicant 10,008". Cuttlefish interprets "the promised land" to mean the surface, and nicknames the Octoling "Agent 8" as a shortening of their applicant number. Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish then board the Deepsea Metro train. Meanwhile, Pearl and Marina are on Mount Nantai, where they have found a radio that allows them to make contact with Cap'n Cuttlefish. After the situation is explained to them, the two agree to help Agent 8 and Cuttlefish escape the metro. With the help of Cap'n Cuttlefish, Pearl, and Marina, Agent 8 completes several test stations in the Deepsea Metro, and eventually collects all four of the thangs, bringing each one back to the Central Station. With all four thangs collected, the Telephone asks Agent 8 if they are ready to enter "the promised land", to which they agree. Following this, the Telephone assembles the thangs into a giant blender, claiming it to be the door to the promised land. Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish enter the blender, which nearly leads them to be blended before Marina hacks into Agent 8's CQ-80 to activate the distress signal. This prompts Agent 3 to suddenly smash through the ceiling, destroying the blender and knocking themselves unconscious. Agent 8 takes the employee model CQ-80 that was in Agent 3's possession, using the blueprints of the test facility stored on it to find an exit, while Cuttlefish stays behind until Agent 3 wakes up. As Agent 8 makes their way up through Kamabo Co.'s testing facility, they eventually lose contact with Cap'n Cuttlefish, who is apparently attacked and captured by a brainwashed Agent 3. As they reach the Spinal Phase and try to take an elevator to the surface, Agent 8 is attacked by Agent 3 as well, leading to a battle. Agent 8 defeats Agent 3, knocking them unconscious once more but freeing them from their mind control. After this, the elevator continues its ascent, leading Agent 8 and Cuttlefish to the surface, where Pearl and Marina arrive in a helicopter to meet them. Commander Tartar explaining its plan to destroy the world. As Pearl and Cuttlefish celebrate the escape, the NILS Statue that contains the entire facility rises from the ocean. It is at this point the Telephone finally reveals its identity as Commander Tartar, and its goal of destroying Inkopolis and creating a new "ultimate lifeform". The statue's mouth opens to reveal a cannon full of sanitizing ooze aimed at the city, and begins charging enough energy to be capable of destroying the entire world. Marina determines that the statue is solar-powered, and comes up with a plan to, using her prototypical Hyperbombs, entirely cover the statue in ink to make it unable to fire its weapon, then have Pearl hit the statue with a shockwave from her voice. With only three minutes before the statue finishes charging, Agent 8 is tasked with manually detonating each of the Hyperbombs. Despite being unable to reach a full charge, Tartar prepares to fire the statue's cannon anyway. Pearl uses the Princess Cannon to create a massive beam from the power of her voice, intercepting the cannon's own beam and destroying the statue, and Tartar with it. After the events of Octo Expansion - Pearl and Marina return to Inkopolis Square, taking Agent 8 with them. After the events of Octo Expansion - Kamabo Corporation is described to be "in disarray" after the defeat of Tartar. Despite this, the Deepsea Metro continues operating without interruption. Events of {{char}} 3 Main article: {{char}} 3 {{char}} 3 takes place five years after the events of {{char}} 2, and seven years after the events of {{char}}. Before the events of {{char}} 3 - Cuttlefish passes down his title as Captain to Agent 3, leaving the position of Agent 3 open to new recruits. Agent 8 keeps in contact with Off the Hook. Marina starts Project Memverse to help Agent 8 and sanitized Octolings who lost their memories from Kamabo Co.. The city of Splatsville develops rapidly, as many Inklings and Octolings move there following the results of {{char}} 2's Final Fest. Hammerhead Bridge has finished construction, connecting the Splatlands and Inkadia. One year before the events of {{char}} 3[32] - Ammo Knights once again relocates, this time to Splatsville. The band Deep Cut become hosts of Anarchy Splatcast, a television and radio show that fulfills a similar role to Inkopolis News for residents of Splatsville. Splatsville. The former members of Squid Squad, with the exception of Quinn, form a new band, Front Roe, with a new band member replacing their former bassist. A train route is constructed between Splatsville and Inkopolis Plaza, allowing easier travel between the two areas. Annie returns to working at Cooler Heads, though she continues to operate the SplatNet Gear Shop in addition to this. Fred Crumbs takes a job at Shrimp Kicks, while Sheldon's protégé Shelly and Donny take over the Inkopolis Plaza location of Ammo Knights. Yoko from Ink Theory forms a side project, Yoko & the Gold Bazookas. Off the Hook go on world tour, inviting Agent 8 along. Return of the Mammalians Main article: Return of the Mammalians#Story The Great Zapfish supplying electricity to Splatsville is stolen, which is reported on by Deep Cut on Anarchy Splatcast. New Agent 3, Smallfry, Craig Cuttlefish and DJ Octavio falling to Alterna. A young individual living in the Splatlands, along with their companion, a Smallfry, enters a manhole in Splatsville, ending up in the Crater. Here they meet Craig Cuttlefish, who recruits them as the new Agent 3 of the New Squidbeak {{char}}. Suspecting the theft of the Great Zapfish to be the work of the Octarians, Cuttlefish guides Agent 3 throughout the Crater, which has been infested with Fuzzy Ooze. As Agent 3 reaches the center of the Crater, they are confronted by DJ Octavio, who accuses Cuttlefish of being responsible for the disappearance of his troops. Agent 3 defeats DJ Octavio, who denies being responsible for the theft of the Great Zapfish. The conversation is interrupted as the ground beneath them collapses, with Agent 3 getting separated from Cuttlefish and losing most of their gear. Agent 3 wakes up on Future Utopia Island, a site of Alterna, which had been located beneath the Crater. Here, they are greeted by the rest of the New Squidbeak {{char}}, comprised of the previous Agent 3, who is now Captain, as well as Agent 1 and Agent 2. With the New Squidbeak {{char}} acting as mission control, Agent 3 begins to explore Alterna in hopes of finding Cuttlefish. In the first kettle they enter, they are also introduced to the computer system of Alterna, O.R.C.A., who appears to be the one assigning Agent 3 the objectives to complete in each mission. As Agent 3 attempts to leave the first site, Deep Cut appear, having apparently followed them into Alterna after their fall. Apparently thinking that the New Squidbeak {{char}} is after the "treasure" located in Alterna, they boast that they are the only ones who may take it before making their exit. Agent 3 continues making their way through Alterna, attempting to follow the signals Marie believes are coming from a tracking device on Cuttlefish. The signals are actually coming from the treasure Deep Cut is after, which each member individually attempts to battle Agent 3 over. A promotional screenshot of the new Agent 3 and Smallfry waking up in Alterna. After Agent 3 defeats Frye, Cuttlefish makes contact with the New Squidbeak {{char}}, telling them that he has been kidnapped and is now locked in a dark room. After Agent 3 defeats Shiver, Cuttlefish makes contact with them again, but the conversation is interrupted by his captor, who reveals himself to be Mr. Grizz. The call then apparently loses signal. Eventually, Agent 3 defeats Big Man in battle, taking the final piece of the treasure. The New Squidbeak {{char}} then uses this treasure to construct a device which the Captain uses to cut off the fur surrounding the Alterna Space Center, allowing the team entry so that they can save Cuttlefish. Deep Cut appear to demand the treasure, and Marie allows them to have it since they do not need it anymore. Deep Cut are touched by her generosity, leading them to apologize for fighting Agent 3, as well as ask Marie to be their boss, which she reluctantly accepts. With Deep Cut now joining the New Squidbeak {{char}} in supporting Agent 3, they make their way into the space center. When they finally reach Cuttlefish, they find him dried-up and seemingly lifeless. It is also at this point when they finally see Mr. Grizz, who is now revealed to be a giant bear. Mr. Grizz escapes on Alterna's rocket, ready to use it to cover the world in Fuzzy Ooze. The Captain cries upon finding Cuttlefish's body, the hydration of which revives him, though he is now apparently stuck in the form of a floating dried squid. DJ Octavio saving New Agent 3 and Smallfry, joining to the battle against Mr. Grizz. Deep Cut then appears and assists Agent 3 in getting to space, where they battle Mr. Grizz on the surface of the rocket. After a certain point in the fight, Mr. Grizz absorbs the Fuzzy Ooze on the rocket and knocks Agent 3 and Smallfry into space. The two are saved by the sudden appearance of DJ Octavio in the Octobot King L3.Gs, who proceeds to assist Agent 3 in finishing the battle as Deep Cut and the Squid Sisters perform Calamari Inkantation 3MIX to hype them up from the ground. Smallfry is then apparently transformed by some sort of power, becoming gigantic. Together, they defeat Mr. Grizz, who apparently comes to peace with the fact that the world cannot return to the time of mammals in the final moments before he dissolves into Fuzzy Ooze. Agent 3, Smallfry, and DJ Octavio return to Earth, and Splatsville's Great Zapfish is restored to its rightful place. Deep Cut reports this on the news, along with the release of the new Squid Sisters single Wave Goodbye, apparently only realizing at that moment that the Squid Sisters were in fact their new bosses Agents 1 and 2. After the events of Return of the Mammalians - After the defeat of Mr. Grizz the radio depicting a bear with a salmon in its mouth gets relocated to Alterna and is replaced by a new one depicting a salmon with a bear instead. Grizzco Industries runs the same like before. Li'l Judd starts to wear a headset. Side Order Agent 8 and the Pearl Drone facing the Spire of Order.

Marina creates the Project Memverse, a virtual world intended to reverse the sanitizing process. Before the events of Side Order - Order seizes control of the Memverse in an attempt to use it to create a world of perfect order. It begins forcibly connecting Inklings and Octolings to the Memverse to "grayscale" them using their Sea-Cucumber Phones, erasing their free will.[34] During the Anarchy Splatcast, Deep Cut mentions rumors about people spacing out in Inkopolis Square. During the events of Side Order - Agent 8 and the Pearl Drone find themselves in the Order Sector and what seems to be Inkopolis Square, but without color or signs of life. They ascend the Spire of Order, a tower that changes floor structure each time it is entered, which has mysteriously replaced Deca Tower. Marina being mind-controlled through a Controller VM. They met Acht in the Spire, also known as Dedf1sh, and then they travel in ten floors inside an elevator within the Spire. They climb the tower with the Pearl's Palette which upgrades Agent 8's abilities. In the Control Room, a mind-controlled Marina attacks Agent 8 and the Pearl Drone. After being defeated, she is free from Order's control. After this, the Spire of Order triples in size and the floors become much more difficult. Overlorder using Grayscaling in the Control Room. They re-enter the Spire and Marina supports Agent 8 from the elevator while providing them with Marina's Hacks. After beating a boss, they get a key to open one of the lockers, giving them a reward. When beating more bosses, they get more keys and more rewards including palettes and entries in Marina's Dev Diary. If Agent 8 loses all of their lives, they will respawn in the Order Sector's Square. After defeating the final boss, Overlorder, a tiny octopus form of a heavily damaged and restricted Order named Smollusk appears and gets upset that Agent 8 "wuined[sic] [its] perfect world of order." They went back to the Memverse. After the first defeat of Overlorder - Agent 8, Pearl, Marina and Acht enter an elevator, leaving the Memverse. Inkopolis Square returns to a normal state.
