Soma.
Soma (ソーマ soma) is the second strain of Stigma encountered in New Blood. Soma is the Greek word for "body."
A patient from Texas - who had Q-Heme artificial blood infused from a previous operation - is the first known victim of Soma.
Treatment[]
Stage | Information |
---|---|
Soma | Soma's exposed core. Soma is a large blue blob made of viscous fluid that can be drained out of the body. As it moves throughout the organ, it releases red tumors into the body, which must be lasered. When enough fluid is drained, the core will expose itself and leave behind a ring of tissue. The tissue must be drained or they will harden and need to be excised, while the core must be lasered within a certain amount of time to register an "Ok" before it disappears. After successfully damaging the core, Soma regenerates its fluid and the process must be repeated. |
Duplicate Soma | After the core has been destroyed multiple times, Soma will split into two. One Soma has a core in it, while one other Soma is drainable fluid. However, if the false Soma is not taken care of, it will burst and leave behind a large amount of tissue, which is more of a trouble to take care of. |

Tips[]
- When the Soma body splits, focus on draining the tissue it releases. Laser exposure to the core does not reset when Soma regenerates, meaning that even if you fail to register an Ok on the core, you will need less time to do so the next time the core exposes itself.
- If the Soma core is only partially damaged, it is wiser to destroy the core first because it is partially weakened, and then drain the tissue, to save time.
- There are two ways to tell between the real and fake Soma bodies - the one with the core will flash green momentarily, and the one with the core is the only one that will make red tumors. Use this to distinguish between both bodies, since the fake Soma must be taken care of promptly before it splits into tissue pieces.
