GB-2 Identität

Type

GB-2 Identität (Korean: GB-2 이덴디테이트) is one of five Bosses introduced in The Meister's Laboratory. It is 'Gaebolg' Project's Auto-Attack Response system that helps to assist the pilot against forms of intrusion.

Lore

The Meister's Lab Lore Excerpt:

"Want to see the autonomous system design I've created?"

Hauts-de-louis asked, throwing peanuts into his mouth. He must have gotten them from another Eternal Flame before the meeting.

"Hauts-de-louis, we've agreed we want no autonomy for Gaebolg."

Despite what he was saying, Curio examined the schematics in front of him with interest. Hauts-de-louis pouted and spoke again.

"The Gaebolg pilot has to control its movement, the anti-interception system, and the dimensional warp device that you're about to add, Curio. No matter how hard I think about it, I really can't believe that one man can handle all of that."

Suddenly, a pungent smell attacked their nostrils. It was a mixture of gunpowder and dragon blood. Volgan.

"Hah hah! Why do you think that? You've got Stark and me. We have no problem doing that. Also, I can't wait to pilot Gaebolg and crush Bakal's face into mush!"

Volgan was late for the meeting. He laughed heartily while patting Hauts-de-louis with enough force to make him wince. But the fatigue apparent in his face betrayed his cheerful manner.

"Yes, but only you and Stark can. Also, doing so can compromise your safety. I think it's better you focus on piloting and leave everything to an autonomous system." "You don't have to worry about that. Gaebolg's pilot seat is the safest place in the world, so long as Gaebolg is in operation." "He wouldn't leave me alone about making it on his own..."

Rati languidly spoke as she lighted her tobacco pipe. Cough, cough! Suppressed coughs were heard as white tendrils of smoke rose.

"Oops, sorry. Old habits die hard." "Don't worry..."

Jenne answered awkwardly. Rati hurriedly put out her pipe. Jenne and I exchanged glances. A small smile that only we recognized appeared across our lips. I turned my gaze back to Hauts-de-louis.

"Then, what if Gaebolg is destroyed?" "What do you mean? Our Gaebolg is invincible. Nothing can destroy it. Hah hah ha!" "What about giving Gaebolg an auto support system instead of making the mech itself autonomous?" "That's a good idea, Jenne. Eldirh, what do you think?"

Curio, who'd been just watching the situation, asked Eldirh.

"I..."

As soon as Eldirh opened her mouth, everyone else stopped talking. A heavy silence fell upon the meeting room. This happened every time we had a meeting. People stopped talking and listened when Eldirh spoke. Because she always had the perfect answer for our problems.

"I think Gaebolg must be controlled by an autonomous system. It's too dangerous to trust the pilot with the future of Empyrean. We don't even know who could pilot it. At least with a system that we've made, we know what it can do. Also, we know how to create fully automatic mechs, and those that we've developed ourselves haven't failed us in combat."

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

But...

"Tenebe, what do you think?"

Eldirh always left it to me to decide. Just like everyone else. All the other Meisters turned their eyes from Eldirh to me. Another moment of silence. It felt different from the last time.

"Tenebe."

Jenne's soft voice brought me back to reality. I raised my eyes and looked around the others. I picked up my pen and started making adjustments to the schematics.

"I think we should make it a support system."

As soon as I said that, the Meisters excitedly started discussing what to do with the system.

"Hah hah! Then, what should we name it?" "My temporary name for it was Gaebolg's ego. It won't be as free-thinking as I originally thought, but isn't that a good idea?"

Except for Eldirh.

Move Set

• Turret Placement: Identität's main body cannot be damaged by any means, but it'll only place down attack turrets that are based on Luke Raid bosses:
  • Shape of Grief: A Lamenting Lampard-themed Drill that spins around, while firing out bullets in the surrounding area.
  • Shape of Failure: A Flamethrower (Left side, Wrecking Haboob) and Ice-thrower (Left side The Seven Mistral) that blasts either flames or cold air on their respective sides within a fan-shaped arc.
  • Shape of Memories: A Mass-produced Becky Slingshot that fires down three orbs within a 45-degree angle.
  • Idol Shape: A Hammer themed after Dark Idol Anubis & Light Idol Horus that periodically strikes down from left to right, creating a light or shadow-based shockwave.
  • Steep Shape: Based on Metal Gear Canaps, a turret that uses Saw Blades which spins around, acting like its Armor Crush pattern.

Strategy

• Identität is perhaps one of the easiest boss fights for Meister's Lab, since its patterns are not very complicated to handle.
• Destroying Gáebolg's Core during Phase 1, results in the Turrets not attacking for 8 seconds.
• If playing on higher difficulties (Expert or Master), Identität's Turrets are much stronger and have more range to their attacks.

Trivia

• Identität is German for "Identity".
• When revealing it's uncovered face which is the main computer, it heavily resembles Hilder's Reaper Mask that's commonly seen throughout specific in-game animated cutscenes.
