Super Battleworn Insomniac, also known as Super Oriental Insomniac (1-XN) is a level in Rhythm Doctor. It is the Night Shift version of Battleworn Insomniac.

It is the fourth boss level in the game. It is the first time the player has to handle irregular 7/8th beats. It is unlocked after beating Know You.

Synopsis

After the player returns to the hospital, Ian greets them, along with Paige, as he explains the situation to Paige; hospital devices overheating, network instability, and electronic malfunctioning. Confused, Paige keeps inquiring, as Ian reveals that all patients' conditions seem to be as usual, except for the Insomniac, whose heart rate is "out of control." Paige then urges the player to treat the Insomniac and prevent the virus from taking over the building, emphasizing to "focus on the seventh beat, no matter what." The player treats the Insomniac through more intense glitches and disruptions caused by the Connectifia Abortus virus. Halfway through the level, the virus breaks off a chunk of his heart, causing his heartbeat to be changed to 7/8th time, with the player having to rapidly adjust to this irregular time for the rest of the level, as the glitches and disruptions rise to such an intensity that the player has to rely almost solely on their own internal rhythm, as both the visuals and music become wildly unhelpful and distracting. After the level, the power comes back on, as all the patients in the hospital gradually gather around Ian and Paige, every single one of them thanking the two doctors for their hard work and care. Paige responds happily and tells all of them that she'll be right with them after they return to their rooms. Paige then tells the intern that they are "officially part of our Middlesea Hospital staff now, as far as [she's] concerned," and thanks them for all they have done. She then suggests that they take the day off tomorrow.

IanSpriteS.png You can still hear me, right?
IanSpriteS.png S-something happened while you were gone, it almost severed your connection to the hospital.
IanSpriteS.png Phew, looks like Paige is back for her shift too.
PaigeSpriteS.png What's going on? Why is the power flickering on and off?
IanSpriteS.png You're just in time! I-I'm not sure what's happening.
IanSpriteS.png Our network just became really unstable, it keeps losing connection.
IanSpriteS.png My PC started overheating, all of them are.
IanSpriteS.png And now even the electricity in the building is giving out!
IanSpriteS.png The backup generators have taken over, but they're starting to overheat too.
IanSpriteS.png Even my phone is acting strange...?
PaigeSpriteS.png Did something happen? Did a power line go down?
PaigeSpriteS.png Wait, forget it. How are the patients? Is everyone okay?

IanSpriteS.png His heart rate is out of control.
PaigeSpriteS.png The virus that was jamming our signal?
PaigeSpriteS.png Whatever, it doesn't matter. Intern, let's go. We need you.
PaigeSpriteS.png We can't let this virus take hold of the building, with so many patients here.
PaigeSpriteS.png Just focus on the seventh beat, no matter what.

History

  • In the Act 5 update, this level's after-clear dialogue was changed. Previously, Paige instructed the intern to do a final check-up on all patients, before transitioning directly into Helping Hands. Since this level now leads into Act 5 instead, the dialogue has been changed, wherein Paige now tells the player to take the day off tomorrow.
  • Prior to the Act 5 update, the game would display "act 1 night" as being complete when the player finished the level. The game now displays "act 4" as being complete.

Trivia

  • Despite being labeled as the completion of Act 4, this level is still classified as 1-XN and no proper "4-X" exists. This makes it the only instance in which an Act ends with a level that does not technically belong with its number.
  • This is the first boss level to have a Night Shift version. It is also the only boss level to have extra dialogue if the player perfects it.
  • This and wish i could care less are the only Night Shift levels that are necessary for beating the main story.
  • Upon the player's first entry into the level during a game session, the level's introduction will stutter, before entirely freezing and preventing all progression. The level only progresses once the player presses an input key, wherein the level will feature a fake-out effect before progressing past the intro and starting the gameplay. This is intended to replicate the same visual effects that occur when programs on a Windows operating system stop responding, wherein the program's visuals become tinted with a transparent layer of white, usually when a user has pressed a key while focused on said program. If the level has already been played in the same game session, this fake-out effect is entirely skipped.
