Synesthete is leader of sorts of the Lunatic camp under Oculus that is accessible via a hidden passage infested with Death Stalkers, on the northern side of the chasm. He wears unique Synesthetic Refocus psionic headband.
Synesthete is a "boss" character, and on DOMINATING difficulty will appear with 400% of his regular health.
Player interactions
With 70 effective Persuasion, by joining Oculus or by being psionic, the player may be allowed by Lunatic Scanner to enter their camp and talk to to the Synesthete.
With 8 effective Dexterity, the player may try to snatch the gem from his headband during the conversation with him. Doing so will cause the entire camp to become hostile and if successful, Synesthete will become permamently Dazed.
Alternatively, the player can join their ritual in which the Lunatics try to climb the Oculus in order to reach 'Transfinity'. During it, the player will witness the 'tranformation' of one of the Lunatics and may follow their lead or tell the Synesthete that they are not ready (if the player is not a psionic, they will need to pass another persuasion check, 90 effective skill). Afterwards, the player may learn from him more about the Transfinity and the whole transformation process. If the player has The Juice in their inventory, they may offer it to him. With 7 effective Intelligence, the player may ask him for a monetary compensation, allowing them to safely take the money from the hidden stash nearby, containing roughly 300 charons. After drinking The Juice, the Synesthete will throw away his headband for the player to pick up and rush outside, vanishing without a trace. Later, the player will find an unexpected present in Their House - a Hexagon Gem that can be used to replace the Pentagon Gem, improving the stats of Synesthetic Refocus.
