Enigma Research Institute

The Enigma Research Institute is an organisation introduced in Inceluous: Hidden Fortune of Code Syphilis. Established in 2028, the institute researched dimensional anomalies and beings from parallel worlds, brought over by Cielian Rifts. Cokity and Wilhelm join the group during the events of Hidden Fortune, confronting Enigmas directly and gathering samples from them.

== Enigmas ==
Enigmas are the names for beings from parallel worlds or dimensions that appear from Cielian Rifts. Due to the effects of space-time warps, Enigmas are typically violent and dangerous. The immense power they wield also makes them a concern. Six different types of Enigma appear in Hidden Fortune, each given a code name by the Institute. In game, all six Enigmas require certain prerequisites before they can be encountered. The Enigmas that appear in game are as follows:
* E-000: 'Pig' (x25)
* E-001: 'Ninetails'
* E-002: 'Mammoth' 
* E-003A / E-003B: 'Mink'
* E-004: 'Drake'
* E-005: 'Ultima'
* E-006: 'Roth'
Enigmas 000-004 all leave behind 'Nexus Shards' which can be forged into the Nexus Ring accessory.
== Trivia ==
* Enigmas 000-004 are all references to noise that can be encountered in The World Ends With You. 
# 'Pig' references the number of Pig Noise that appear on each day, typically having unusual requirements to defeat them.
# 'Ninetails' is a reference to the Progfox, a hidden boss noise.
# 'Mammoth' is a reference to Woolly AOR, another hidden boss noise.
# 'Mink' is a reference to the Grindcore Minks, yet another hidden boss noise.
# 'Drake' is a reference to the Goth Metal Drake, unsurprisingly another hidden boss noise.
* Enigma 005, 'Ultima' officially named as Gus Amon is the only enigma that directly converses with Cokity and Wilhelm outside of battle. Additionally, 'Ultima' is one of only two explicitly human Enigma.
