Osmos/Sentient

In the sentient levels, the goal is to prevail over active motes of various types that hunt and absorb other motes, including the player. Hunting them typically involves absorbing as many inactive motes as possible before chasing down the active ones with the extra mass one has gained.

S1O - artificial life

S1O1 - Absorb the Ovarium

The Ovarium is the first cell that you will encounter. It will attempt to move towards other cells, but will also try evading any attackers. It only shoots motes at a slow rate.

On the normal map, try moving downward to collect the blue motes. When you are large enough, which shouldn't take too long, return to the ovarium and try to claim it.

S1O2 - Absorb the Biophobe

The biophobe won't attack other motes, but if a larger mote gets too close, it will rapidly fire motes in an attempt to escape.

S2O - survival of the fittest

S2O1-Become Huge

This level has many Ovariums and motes.

S2O2-Absorb the Nemocyte

This level has a Nemocyte, a fast, agressive mote that speeds away from danger.

S2O3-Absorb the three Nemocytes

There are three Nemocytes here, and all must be absorbed.

S3O - deadly ecosystems

S3O1-Become Huge

Multiple Ovariums and Nemocytes make this place hazardous.

S3O2-Become Huge

This level replaces Ovariums with large, inactive motes.

S3O3-Absorb the Ferax

This level contains the Ferax, which ejects big motes at a time to propel itself quickly. Players should zoom out, and observe how sentient it is.

To beat it, try slowing down time, resetting (not randomizing), and memorizing the biggest and closest inactive motes you can absorb. Once big enough, go after the Ferax when both are at near equal, but the player slightly smaller sizes with a mote in between. The Ferax will panic the moment the Player is bigger (by absorbing the middle mote), and you can use the extra size to propel behind to chase it.
