E.G.O
For detailed information on individual E.G.O Skills, see List of E.G.O.
E.G.O (Extermination of Geometrical Organ)[1] is a type of personalized equipment manifested from an individual's mind. They usually take the form of massively powerful weapons and/or armor.
There are two main types of E.G.O: E.G.O extracted and borrowed from an Abnormality, and E.G.O manifested by oneself. Limbus Company Sinners are known to make use of the former.
Abnormality E.G.O
This is an overarching term referring to the E.G.O that is extracted and borrowed from Abnormalities.
The E.G.O utilized within The Library and by the Sinners take on a different form than that of L Corp.'s Lobotomy E.G.O, and would likely not be classified as such. While not explained in detail, Faust indicates that these are the "base" form of E.G.O, and that Lobotomy E.G.O specifically refers to a more compressed and refined version in the form of E.G.O Weapons and Suits.[2] These "basic" E.G.O share the risk of corroding that Lobotomy E.G.O does, although it is easier to lose oneself to them than proper E.G.O Gear.[3]
All E.G.O from an Abnormality takes on the same name, regardless of its form (e.g. Magic Bullet Outis and Lobotomy E.G.O::Magic Bullet Outis or Big Bird's E.G.O Suit, Weapon, and Gift all being named Lamp).
Lobotomy E.G.O
Lobotomy E.G.O is a refined class of E.G.O compressed into the form of equipment for the sake of general utility.[2] It is more stable than what the librarians and Sinners use, and allows for longer durations of use without fear of Corrosion.[3] Lobotomy E.G.O originated from Lobotomy Corporation. However, it can also be produced by other parties under the right conditions,[4] as accomplished by Limbus Company's LCE Department with their largely similar LCE E.G.O. The term “Lobotomy E.G.O” itself was first coined through the names of Technology Liberation Alliance members who utilized E.G.O Gear they were able to obtain from one of L Corp.'s collapsed branches.
Origin
Before the events of Lobotomy Corporation, Carmen had been researching Cogito in the interest of the Seed of Light Project. Along the way, her and her team discovered the existence of Abnormalities, the means of creating them, and the existence of E.G.O. The very first Abnormality-extracted E.G.O was the Mimicry sword the Red Mist would become famous for wielding.[5]
The team did not have an immediate grasp of how E.G.O functioned; Carmen would describe the weapon as unstable, saying that it was a miracle they had been able to extract it at all.[5] However, they would come to understand it well enough by the time Ayin took over L Corp. Under A's foundership, employees would regularly yield the E.G.O which had been extracted from the Abnormalities by Binah and the aptly-named Extraction Team.[6]
Following the White Nights and Dark Days and later The Library's exile from District 12, collapsed Lobotomy Corporation branches became available for scavenging. This allowed for the stealing and use of their old Lobotomy E.G.O by random factions.
Function
Lobotomy E.G.O's most attractive benefit is its malleability. It can be used effectively by anyone and requires no special training to wield. This allowed for the average Lobotomy Corporation employee to skillfully contest threats, despite the job not requiring any combat ability.[7] Yet despite this advantage, not every individual was necessarily eligible to use every piece of E.G.O, as many E.G.O insist that specific levels of virtues be met. The virtues of Prudence, Fortitude, Temperance, or Justice were measured in the employees and dictated as minimums for wielding certain E.G.O, with the intent of preventing E.G.O Corrosion.
The E.G.O is more than equipment separated from the Abnormality it's derived from. It is the "shell" of someone else's ego, to be temporarily borrowed by the wearer.[6] As such, when a person uses Lobotomy Corporation E.G.O, they are essentially synchronizing with the Abnormality it originated from. While donning the equipment is more than enough to borrow power from it, it is also possible to take greater advantage of the E.G.O by taking the power and claiming it as one's own. This was, in Binah's words, something the L Corp. employees were incapable of, and the achievement which made the Red Mist so strong.[6]
Lobotomy Corporation called the extracted armor "E.G.O Suits" and the extracted weapons "E.G.O Weapons". Although E.G.O Suits varied considerably in color and design, all of them had an upper body garment reaching past the waist, and (with four exceptions) included a collar and a tie. E.G.O Weapons could be both melee and ranged, ranging from gauntlets to cannons.
Additionally, there was a third tool to gain from the Abnormalities called "E.G.O Gifts". As the name implies, E.G.O Gifts could be considered a literal present from the Abnormalities. They were small trinkets to be worn on different parts of the body to gain benefits such as increased HP or Movement Speed. In Limbus Company, they possess a wider variety of benefits and are available to collect in Dungeons. Though E.G.O Gifts are weaker than Suits and Weapons, they are still a part of the ego pertaining to Abnormalities, and run the risk of negatively affecting someone who wears too many.[8]
In Lobotomy Corporation, if an Employee dies while wearing E.G.O Equipment, the E.G.O is depicted as lost and considered destroyed. On these occasions, the E.G.O must be re-extracted. However, accessing advanced Research through the Extraction Team will subvert this phenomena, allowing for the permanent safekeeping of E.G.O regardless of Employee death. However, this only includes Suits and Weapons; earned E.G.O Gifts are always lost upon death, no matter what.
Extraction
Lobotomy E.G.O is extracted through the use of unique Positive Enkephalin Boxes ("PE-Boxes"). PE-Boxes are farmed from Abnormalities, who produce Enkephalin when satisfied. The Lobotomy Corporation Art Book explains that an Abnormality technically produces two sets of PE-Boxes when happy: the general ones that the company sold to support their status as a Wing, and PE-Boxes specific to the Abnormality's subject number.[9] These more specific PE-Boxes could be used to unlock information about the Abnormality or to extract the materials necessary for producing its E.G.O Equipment.[9] The higher the Abnormality's Risk Level, the more PE-Boxes this process required.
Upon reaching a high enough Observation Level with the Abnormality, its "archetype" may be extracted using PE-Boxes, after which the Lobotomy E.G.O can.[9] In Lobotomy Corporation, there is a set limit on the number of E.G.O Suits and Weapons that may be extracted from an Abnormality, with a lower cap the greater the Risk Level. If one of the set number of E.G.O Equipment was destroyed upon the death of the Employee wearing it, a new one could be extracted to fill its spot.
LCE E.G.O
LCE E.G.O refers to the E.G.O extracted and utilized by Limbus Company's LCE department. It is largely comparable to Lobotomy E.G.O in way of its form and function, given that the LCE aims to copy and surpass much of the fallen Lobotomy Corporation's work.[10] Like L Corp., the gear is composed of Weapons and Suits. However, there are still distinguishing features. In Faust's ID story, Carmen describes the LCE's E.G.O attunement to be "closer to the usage of actual E.G.O [compared to the] E.G.O gears of Lobotomy Corporation."
LCE E.G.O allows for a higher rate of attunement and synchronization with the relevant Abnormality, which can be deliberately achieved through extending understanding and empathy towards it.[11] This allows for more impressive benefits than L Corp. had been able to achieve with its E.G.O, such as flight and shape fluctuation.[11][12] Additionally, LCE E.G.O gear can cause its user to sprout inhuman features like tails.[12] Yi Sang's LCE Identity, for example, depicts him as having sprouted twigs from his head. His evade sprite also shows that it is even possible to completely change one's form in tune with the Abnormality.
However, regulating one's level of synchronization with the LCE E.G.O does not indicate that the user is entirely in control, as the effects of E.G.O Corrosion are still inevitable. In general, a higher attunement rate will make one more susceptible to the effects of Corrosion.[11]
N Corp. E.G.O
N Corp. E.G.O refers to the E.G.O extracted and utilized by members of N Corp.'s New League of Nine Littérateurs and their troops.
N Corp. E.G.O takes a form more similar to LCE E.G.O than traditional Lobotomy E.G.O, likely reflecting another unique method of extraction. As with the other forms of Abnormality E.G.O, N Corp. E.G.O holds a risk of Corrosion. All N Corp. E.G.O users share a passive representing E.G.O Corrosion through loss of SP;[13] while the passive's name does not suggest anything out of the ordinary for E.G.O, the fact that these are the first E.G.O users in Limbus Company to possess a passive of this kind may suggest that N Corp. E.G.O is more prone to Corrosion than other types of E.G.O Gear.

E.G.O requires a learning curve to use. This sets it apart from Lobotomy Corporation's E.G.O, which was a valuable asset specifically because it could be wielded effectively by any individual regardless of if they had experience with a weapon. N Corp. E.G.O also demonstrates the unique ability to apply a protective force field to the user, described as "invincible".
Additionally, Faust notes that N Corp. physically could not have had enough time to bring their E.G.O extraction process to the level of completion they had managed. Coupled with Gubo's out-of-context suggestion that their group might have been guided to choose these particular E.G.O, it is implied that N Corp. used nontraditional methods of extraction, potentially through an involvement with the Mirror and its myriad of Mirror Worlds to take from. While unclear how, this is known to be possible, given that Faust states in The 1st Walpurgis Night that the E.G.O used by the LCB is also extracted from the Mirror.[15]
E.G.O Corrosion
E.G.O borrowed from an Abnormality possesses one major drawback in the possibility of losing one's self to the equipment. This phenomena is known as E.G.O Corrosion (Korean: E.G.O 침식, E.G.O chimsik), where the user's appearance and behavior transform to reflect the personality and destructive nature of the Abnormality the E.G.O originated from.
While the synchronization between the E.G.O and its user represents the key advantage of E.G.O over other City gear, it also allows for the user to have their ego overridden by it. If insufficient in mental strength, they may "fuse" with the equipment when lacking in the personal virtues of Prudence, Fortitude, Temperance, or Justice (as measured in Lobotomy Corporation) required to stave off the metamorphosis.
During the process of using E.G.O, the individual will hear the voice of the Abnormality it had come from.[5][16] To "corrode" is to allow the voice and its mindset to take over, replacing the user's ego with its own. Alongside the loss of self, corroding eventually incites a physical transformation. This turns its victims into beasts not dissimilar to Distortions.
The speed at which an individual corrodes is tied to their mental state, or ability to fight off the Abnormality's attempt to override the E.G.O user. For instance, reaching -45 SP in battle will instantly corrode a Sinner wielding Abnormality E.G.O. However, better circumstances may require the E.G.O to slowly wear down the user in order to corrode them, such as is described in Lobotomy E.G.O::Red Sheet Sinclair's Identity Story. E.G.O Corrosion may also consist of subtle, relatively harmless changes to the user's personality over time.[12] These cases may be easily combated by removing the E.G.O gear, or for LCE E.G.O, lowering one's level of attunement.
E.G.O Corrosion is seen in-game at several points, such as when the Sinners corrode from repeated usage of Abnormality E.G.O or upon reaching low levels of Sanity. Canto III also demonstrates the result of several members of the N Corp. Inquisition voluntarily undergoing Corrosion.
Effloresced E.G.O
This refers to the E.G.O that is personally manifested and wielded by the same individual, which became associated with Distortions following the White Nights and Dark Days.
The term “Effloresced E.G.O” was first coined in the name of Dongrang's Farmwatch E.G.O.
Origin
Manifesting Effloresced E.G.O was possible even before the White Nights and Dark Days. However, it was rare to the point of even Arbiters of the Head being unfamiliar with how it worked.
As elaborated on in her Library of Ruina Page, Kali the Red Mist was not only the first known wielder of Abnormality-extracted E.G.O, but also of personally manifested E.G.O. She received the former first (the Mimicry greatsword), given to her from Carmen. Extended use of the E.G.O eventually put her at high risk of undergoing E.G.O Corrosion. When Kali managed to fight off the corrosion, expanding her ego onto the sword instead of the other way around, she manifested her own E.G.O in the form of full-body black armor with glowing red highlights.[5] It was the wielding of these two types of E.G.O, previously more or less unknown to the City, that allowed the Red Mist to fare so well against the Head during their attack on Carmen's lab. There are no other explicit cases of someone manifesting E.G.O before the White Nights and Dark Days.
Library of Ruina elaborates that Lobotomy Corporation's Seed of Light Project intended to allow everyone in the City to manifest their own E.G.O.[17] The idea was to make it widely permissible, instead of manageable to only a select few such as Kali. In theory, this would give all citizens a proper means to protect themselves, eliminating meaningless deaths in the City.[17] Angela's decision to take the Light for herself and the subsequent aftermath stopped this plan from coming to fruition, however.
Researchers Carmen and Ayin became one with the Light not long before this. Carmen's position in the Light would allow her to watch over the City (and all versions of it across different Mirror Worlds[18]) and reside over both the E.G.O and Distortion phenomena. She would ultimately choose to embrace Distortions as the ideal form of humanity and attempt to distort Cityfolk by her own hand. As such, after the White Nights and Dark Days, manifesting Effloresced E.G.O would be a matter of denying Carmen's temptations.
Function
Effloresced E.G.O is distinct and personal from person to person. While Abnormality-extracted E.G.O will reflect the ego of the relevant Abnormality, E.G.O manifested by oneself will match their own ego. As a result, they vary widely in both appearance and function. Generally, manifested E.G.O takes the form of some kind of armor, weapon, or both. It compliments the individual rather than overtaking them.
Like the other form of E.G.O, Effloresced E.G.O is extremely powerful. However, it represents familiarity and dominance over one's own ego, rather than the borrowing of someone else's. It can still be wielded in ways which farm more power from it, like Lobotomy E.G.O.[6] Additionally, once having manifested E.G.O, it can be manifested again at any point, on will. Kali describes having to "get used" to her Effloresced E.G.O over time, learning how to use it for longer periods and draw out its full strength.[5]
There are a few notable outliers to the usual weapon/armor. For example, it is possible to instead manifest entire buildings: Angela's E.G.O being The Library and YuRia's her workshop. It may also be that the Lobotomy Corporation headquarters itself was Ayin's personal E.G.O. [19]
Once someone has managed to manifest E.G.O, they gain an immunity to the Distortion Phenomenon.[20] However, only managing to manifest an incomplete or Volatile E.G.O (as in Philip's case) will still leave the user susceptible to distorting.
If the user undergoes severe mental degradation with their E.G.O manifested, the Effloresced E.G.O may dissipate with their shaken heart, such as with Dongbaek.[21]
Manifesting E.G.O and Distinction from Distortions
Following the White Nights and Dark Days, E.G.O became intrinsically linked to the Distortion Phenomenon. Both phenomena require the same set up: a world-shattering event leading to intense emotion, and a visit from Carmen. However, while Distortions are formed by the target agreeing with Carmen's words, E.G.O is instead manifested by denying them. This might include choosing to act differently from what she encourages or directly telling her she's wrong.
As such, the line between distorting and manifesting E.G.O is a thin one, similar to walking a tightrope. Still, it is not equally easy to end up on either side. The outcome is considerably rigged in favor of the target distorting, considering they would be both in a very fragile state of mind and being talked into it by Carmen. It is not an easy feat to reject Carmen's comforting words and manifest one's own E.G.O.
While Distortions are generally associated with antagonistic efforts and E.G.O with heroic efforts, there is no such rule of thumb. Dongrang, for example, would manifest E.G.O on the basis of killing Yi Sang and destroying everything weighing him to the past. What mattered was that Carmen was telling him it was hopeless, and Dongrang disagreed with that.
Additionally, Distortions are complete transformations from one's human self, while E.G.O takes the form of something separate.
Volatile E.G.O
It is also possible to manifest E.G.O partially. This is referred to as Volatile E.G.O.
Volatile E.G.O manifests upon denying Carmen without full commitment, and allowing one's heart to waver. Manifesting Volatile E.G.O does not count as proper manifestation, and will not give the individual immunity to the Distortion Phenomenon like Effloresced E.G.O will.
This version of Volatile E.G.O is not to be confused with the description of Jia Huan and Gubo's N Corp. E.G.O as "Volatile E.G.O" during their fight in Canto VIII: The Surrendered Witnessing.[14] This instead appears intended to describe the not-yet-complete form of their Abnormality E.G.O,[22] which has no direct relation to the Effloresced E.G.O involved in cases of Volatile E.G.O.
Sinner E.G.O
Abnormality E.G.O
The Sinners primarily make use of Abnormality E.G.O (e.g. Bygone Days Ishmael from Portrait of a Certain Day). These E.G.O are less refined compared to the E.G.O Gear Lobotomy Corporation produced,[2] and possess a higher risk of Corrosion.[3] Faust states their Abnormality E.G.O is extracted from various Mirror Worlds via Mephistopheles' Engine,[15] a notion consistent with the Extraction game mechanic. Dante's Notes on Threadspinning explain in more specifics that "E.G.O used by the Sinners are possibilities drawn from the cores of certain Abnormalities for appropriate individuals."[23] While it is unclear how Limbus Company produces E.G.O from the Mirror rather than Abnormalities, this notion appears to match the contents of LCB Regular Check-up, which only concerns itself with the LCE's creation of LCE E.G.O Gear and never implies that the team has also been responsible for extracting the LCB's E.G.O.
Like other kinds of E.G.O, the Sinners' Abnormality E.G.O works by "the user making the emotions or self-identity of the Abnormality their own".[24] Threadspinning E.G.O allows the Sinner to form a stronger understanding of the Abnormality, and therefore take greater advantage of the E.G.O's potential.[23]
While a note by a member of the LCA's R&D team on the WAW Takeoff Module refers to the Sinners' E.G.O as "Abnormal-Psychoment based E.G.O",[25] it is not clear what exactly this statement suggests about the E.G.O used by the LCB compared to the other kinds of E.G.O.
Character-specific E.G.O
The Sinners's "initial" E.G.O (e.g. Crow's Eye View Yi Sang) are of unclear origin, and, given their unique naming scheme, are more than likely not related to Abnormalities as their other E.G.O are. Like with Volatile E.G.O, these unique E.G.O do not act as a safeguard against the Distortion, as demonstrated by Heathcliff in Canto VI: The Heartbreaking.
Altogether, these E.G.O have yet to be elaborated on within Limbus Company, and there is little to no indication as to what they represent compared to other E.G.O.

Trivia
- The names of the five Risk Levels assigned to E.G.O and Abnormalities are taken from letters of the Semitic abjads, more specifically, as seen through the characters used for the Risk Levels, they are from the Hebrew alphabet.
- Zayin (Hebrew: ז zayīn) is the seventh letter of the Semitic abjad;
- Teth (Hebrew: ט ṭēṯ) is the ninth letter of the Semitic abjad;
- He (Hebrew: ה hē) is the fifth letter of the Semitic abjad;
- Waw (Hebrew: ו vav) is the sixth letter of the Semitic abjad;
- Aleph (Hebrew: א ʾālef) is the first letter of the Semitic abjad.
- Effloresced means "to burst forth/as if into flower", as in "bloom".
- Dongbaek's manifested E.G.O is named "Dongbaek E.G.O::Spicebush" when fought, not following the "Effloresced E.G.O::[name]" naming scheme used for other characters. This may be because the word dongbaek (Hangul: 동백), normally referring to the camellia flower, also regionally (in Gangwon) refers to the spicebush plant, making her name in Korean read as "Dongbaek E.G.O::Dongbaek". However, given that hers was the first example of Effloresced E.G.O in Limbus Company, it may also be a simple case of the staff having not yet cemented a naming convention.
- Gim Yujeong, author of The Camellias, which served as inspiration for Dongbaek's character, is considered an icon in Gangwon.
- The Identity that mirrors Dongbaek is named [Effloresced E.G.O::Spicebush] Yi Sang, clarifying that it is Effloresced.
