Dr. Jacob

Dr. Jacob is the head researcher of the Dinosite mutagen at the Kimra Xenobiological Laboratory, and a mini-boss in *Blue Stinger.*

When you reach him, he'll have already undergone Dinosite mutation, evident by his additional appendages. After you approach him, he undergoes an additional mutation, growing into a bigger monster, and his skin turns purple.

Upon defeating him, you receive Jacob's Safe Key, which opens a safe directly behind him, containing Jacob's Disc and Dr. Jacob's Key. The disc can be used on the computer next to the safe and the lab up on the main floor to access additional information about the Dinosite mutagen, while the key is used to access a locked door that grants you passage to the third floor basement of the lab, the new drug storage room (A-Vect serum room), and the Aquatic Life Experimentation room.

## Gameshark Glitch

There is a glitch with Dr. Jacob if you use a Gameshark game enhancer code to get Jacob's Disc before encountering him. Eliot's fourth sick form is dependent on walking in the entryway after collecting Jacob's Disc, which you get after killing Jacob and using his Safe Key. Using this code will make the game think that you already defeated Dr. Jacob, and Eliot's fourth sick form will be triggered.

After triggering it, Jacob will behave like a regular Human Dinosite. If you walk across the invisible line that triggers the cutscene where Jacob say"R3O5", Jacob will stop in whatever spot in the room he's in and talk from that spot, with Eliot and Dogs looking in his direction. Jacob's purple monster form will spawn as normal, Eliot and Dogs still staring in the direction of Jacob's first form.

Alternatively, you can also kill Jacob when he runs around like a Human Dinosite, where he drops money just like a regular one. You will oddly be given Jacob's Safe Key doing that. After walking over the cutscene trigger, the cutscene still works. The camera pans to Jacob's corpse while his "R305" dialog line still plays. After Eliot says "You're Dr. Jacob?" looking to the direction of his corpse, Jacob's purple monster form spawns like a separate monster, with Jacob's first form's corpse laying on the ground still with all the money beside it.

This glitch reveals that the game is actually using two separate monsters to create the illusion of Dr. Jacob transforming from one monster to another. His first form is simply a regular Human Dinosite with a string of code attached to him, telling him to be invincible while staying put and then disappear when the "R305" cutscene is towards the end. That's when his first form disappears, and his second form is a separate monster being spawned in his first form's place.

If you perform this glitch, it will softlock the game. If you use Jacob's Safe Key on his safe, where you're normally supposed to get Jacob's Disk and Jacob's Key at the same time, the safe will have nothing inside it as the game thinks the Disc is already in your possession. That's because getting his Disc from the safe triggers a line of code that gives you his Key. The reason your game will be softlocked is because Jacob's Key is used for a door in the Botanical Garden room that is required to progress through the game.
