[edit] Treatment
[edit] Pre-GUILT
Bythos missions generally begin with four lacerations (or eight in X-missions) placed on an organ in an evenly radiating pattern (in the shape of a plus sign, a multiplication sign, or an asterisk in X5), which must be sutured in order for Bythos to appear.
[edit] GUILT
Bythos will begin by reproducing the four lacerations that were treated in the Pre-GUILT phase, without lowering vitals. Afterward, it will move in elliptical patterns across the organ, and will randomly attack. Bythos' shell must be shattered with the laser to expose the core, then removed with the forceps, avoiding the core spores. After which, the core will regenerate itself with the shell, and the process is to be repeated until the Neo-GUILT is defeated.
[edit] General Tips
- Dealing with Bythos successfully requires a balanced focus both on attacking and treating wounds it produces. Any injury Bythos creates, especially internal hemmorhages, should be treated as a first priority over attacking, so interspersed laser attacks when two or three lacerations remain are suggested. Prepare an injection of stabilizer prior to attacks made by Bythos when otherwise unoccupied.
- Completing the laser treatment near the bottom right corner makes removal of Bythos's core to the foreign object tray much easier, because the tray itself renders spores and shell fragments beneath it ineffective. Gauge how much more laser exposure will be required to disable Bythos, and treat wounds until Bythos enters this area, then finish the laser treatment.
- Rather than injecting stabilizer frequently during Bythos's attack stage, save one or two injections for periods in which it has been rendered dormant by the laser. Bythos will not recover immediately, and it is safe to leave the core unattended until its shell begins moving if the treatment is rendered near the foreign object tray. Try not to finish laser treatments when wounds are present, since it will reduce the time you have to act, and/or your patient's vitals.
- Bythos produces three different colors of spores, which each behave differently. The blue color cycles slowly, the yellow at a faster pace, while the green spore slowly bounces around and follows the core when it is picked up. The outermost ring of blue spores generally rotates in the opposite direction of the rest.
- Bythos will give an indication on how far you are to defeating it, as the core will gradually change colors from blue to red as you continue to remove the core.
- An unusual method of treating Bythos is to "warp" the core away from the spores. A little known fact is that if you have 2 objects, usually 2 stylii, touching the screen, then whatever you're holding or using will be used in the middle of the 2 stylii. You can use this to your advantage; first pick up the core with one of the stylii, then "warp" it by puting the second stylii on the screen, preferably away from the spores. Then, let go with the first stylii, and the core will warp to the stylii away from the cores, leaving you to put it on the tray much easier.
- If you're having trouble keeping up with the lacerations, then simply let them be there. The vitals will drop a little more, but when 8 lacerations are present Bythos can't make any more, and no more internal hemmorhages either! It will just do some vital damage instead. Putting antibiotic gel on the wounds is essential in this strategy, so the vitals don't drop too quickly. The only downside is that you most likely not get the Chain Combo bonus at the end of the operation.
[edit] Stats and Attacks
- 3 Lacerations - Similar to Savato, Bythos will create three lacerations that radiate outward from the main body.
- 4 Lacerations - Bythos will dig into the organ, creating four small lacerations in a regular manner, similar to Onyx (except Onyx made 5 lacerations, whereas Bythos only makes 4).
- Organ Dig - Bythos will borrow into the organ and reappear somewhere else, creating an internal hemmorhage where it first entered.
- Shell Burst - Bythos' shell will shatter, exposing the core and releasing core spores that "protect" the core. Touching a spore or part of the shell will cause Bythos to come back together.
- Reconstruction - If you fail to remove the core in time, or touch a spore or part of the shell, Bythos will put itself back together.
- 8 Lacerations-This is VERY, VERY occasional, but right when Bythos emerges forming the regular 4 lacerations, 4 more lacerations will come in and deal light vital damage (usually only 5-10).
In the battle against Aletheia, Bythos will appear to do nothing. However, when the core is revealed, it will create hidden internal hemmorhages.
