Immortal Syndicate

The Immortal Syndicate is a mysterious organisation that Jun Ortoi is investigating. The player must neutralize the Syndicate members residing in the zone, then interrogate them for intelligence on their stronghold and leader, or bargain with them in different ways. Syndicate members can drop Veiled items, and strongholds can contain various rewards depending on who was stationed, including chance crafting and scarabs.

Mechanics

Members

The Immortal Syndicate consists of the Syndicate Mastermind and a roster selected from 18 possible members:

Gravicius is available at zone level 30 or higher and Rin is available at maps.

Investigation Board

Each known Syndicate member on the board will display the following: Rank, Task, and Items.

Ranks are indicated by the number of stars on the top right, going up to 3 stars. Higher ranks give greater rewards, but also makes them tougher by giving them additional items. Rank can be raised by killing them, while interrogating them lowers it. A member must have at least 1 star in order to be assigned to a division and have their reward appear at the safehouse. If a member's rank falls to 0, they will become unassigned.

Tasks are indicated by the text on the bottom. These tasks depend on which division the member is located in. This indicates their reward at the safehouse.

Members can have items attached to them. This simply indicates additional modifiers they are given when fighting them. Higher ranked members are more likely to have more items on them.

The board will also show the relationship between Syndicate members. Trusted members are more likely to assist them in combat, while rivals are more likely to attack or betray them instead.

Each division has a captain, who are less likely to spawn outside of the safehouse while positioned. If the captain loses their rank via negotiations by other members or gets interrogated for information on the Mastermind, they will be replaced with someone else.

Encounter

The Immortal Syndicate is divided into four divisions: Fortification, Transportation, Research, and Intervention. The player must defeat the Syndicate member(s) that are present in the zone. Once all members have been defeated, they can be handled in one of two presented options. If multiple members are present, the options may change depending on the order. It is also possible to not do anything with the member if their options are undesirable, although there will be no experience gain nor items from killing them.

Possible options are followed:

Interrogate: Imprison the member and gather information on their division over the next three encounters. They will be removed from the spawn table for the next 3 encounters while being interrogated. Interrogating lowers the rank of the member. Up to 3 members can be interrogated at once.
Execute: Kill the member and raise their rank. If their rank was 0 at the time, they will be assigned to the division of whoever they were assisting currently. This option is always available if three members are present.
Betray: Sabotage another member in some way. This option is only available while there are two members and are not already rivals.
Bargain: Gain a reward of some kind. This option only shows up when only one member is present.

Outcomes

The following outcomes are possible from Bargain:

Gain Intelligence on their division
Become trusted with another member
Switch divisions with another member
Raise rank of another member
Leave the Immortal Syndicate; they will be replaced with someone else
Gain a large amount of Intelligence but free interrogated members
Destroy all items on members in their division
Remove all rivalries
Drop currency, map, veiled item, unique item, or scarab

The following outcomes are possible from Betray:

Give Intelligence on another division or Mastermind
Become the new captain of their division, reduce rank of captain
Remove another member from the Immortal Syndicate; they will be replaced with someone else
Rank up themselves up to 2 times, while removing the rank of another
Destroy all items on members of another division
Raise rank of all members of their division and lower rank of another

Rewards

Once intelligence in a faction reaches 100% it's possible to raid their safehouse. Talk to Jun in the hideout and investigate a safehouse to open 6 portals to the safehouse. If you do not raid within a few turns, Intelligence will drop down to 90%.

When raiding a Syndicate Safehouse, the Safehouse captain and all his/her subordinates will defend it. Once defeated, the treasure rooms will contain loot depending on which members were stationed there, the Safehouse captain's room will contain 2 chests. The notes on the syndicate pages will give a hint on what reward can be expected, the below table shows both the hints and the exact reward.

Only the option to interrogate the safehouse captain is available. Interrogating the safehouse captain gives information on the Syndicate Mastermind.
