Splicer is an NPC met in the Unnature Sanctuary. She is a robot that starts the 'Genes Spliced!' questline.
Story[]
Splicer is a robot that was meant to protect The Unnature Sanctuary, but due to the war, Splicer malfunctioned to instead transform animals and plants in the reserve to weird monsters, by splicing their DNA.
When first entering the Sanctuary, it warns you, telling you not to enter the planet. The player goes into the Sanctuary and after damaging the preserve is turned into a werewolf by the robot. After Splicer leaves another werewolf digs its way to the surface whose name is Ranger. He gives you quests to make your werewolf form stronger and then tells you his plan to deal with Splicer.
The player later confronts Splicer and the Chimera, after being helped and trained by the Ranger, and restores Splicer back to normal, thus allowing the player to switch from werewolf to human and back, while also allowing the player to change their appearance and improve their werewolf abilities. After that you can invite Ranger aboard the mobile lab to be a researcher.
Old One Carapace[]
If you bring Splicer the Carapace armor, available for crafting during the Hybrid path, she will use it to create a new form, allowing you to take on the form of the Aliens, specifically the Old One boss. This quest was originally only available on April 1st.
The Old One form can only use magic weapons and spell books. Your armor is removed and replace with the Old One Carapace armor.
Battle[]
Splicer is not fought directly, but the Chimera instead is pitted with the player. In the fight, there is a timer, after which if the player does not kill the Chimera, the Chimera is turned into a rat and is defeated.
Notes[]
Although Splicer is a robot, the Ranger refers to her as a female. Splicer later joins the player, allowing them to alternate between werewolf and human.
