This is actually something I discovered a while ago but was too lazy to record it at the time (and totally forgot about it later), but I remembered it today and wanted to document it here.

By exploiting the Cloaking.exe biohack, you can become nearly invincible to all types of damage in hacking mini-games. You can move, or shoot, or even fire the cannon whilst being always invincible. The only things that can kill you are explosions, that's it.

(FYI, for multi-stage hacks, you must re-apply it for every stage. It doesn't persist across them)

It's really easy to perform, so here are the steps to do it:

• Use the Cloaking.exe biohack
• Enter a mini-game
• Stay idle for a brief moment in order to be invincible
• When you are invincible, abort the mini-game
• Remove the Cloaking.exe biohack
• Re-enter the mini-game

Boom! You're done! Now you're pretty much invincible to all damage! Hope it's helpful somewhere.

Here's a video showing it off:

It also appears to apply the Ion Shield effect while you're in the Ion Zone, how does that affect the Qotile's swirl attacks?

also, have you tried this with any other zeta-class biohacks?

It doesn't actually apply the Ion Shield effect when doing this glitch. That was because I was playing a mini-game that gives you IonBarrier.exe. But either way, I was curious what would happen if you used IonBarrier.exe while doing this glitch. and... nothing happens. The Qotile just goes straight through you, it doesn't even bounce lol.

Since you told me to try this with other zeta biohacks, I went ahead and tried it on one I had on hand, IonBarrier.exe. And using the same method, it actually works (which I'm genuinely surprised, since I thought Ion Shield needed you to be in an Ion Zone, guess not lol)

Video below showing it off:

There's really no point in using this for infinite Ion Shield, since anything other than Qotile swirls still kill you; basically it's just a substantially worse Poor Girls Invincible Hack, although you get IonBarrier.exe earlier than Cloaking.exe, so it might be useful, idk.

Very nice find! I can totally see it being worth something for All Biohacks, or as a safety in Pro mode~

I'd assume all Zeta biohacks would technically do the same, but only Cloaking.exe and Ionbarrier.exe would have a major effect on hacking when being removed.

I'd say IonBarrier.exe isn't that worth it, considering that there's very little hacking between getting it and Malorie. But again, depends on hacking skill and the number of hacks on the way to Cloaking.

It doesn't actually apply the Ion Shield effect when doing this glitch. That was because I was playing a mini-game that gives you IonBarrier.exe.

Oh, well don't I feel silly for missing that, though I'm glad to see that it also affects IonBarrier.exe in your other example.
