| - The All-Seeing Eye, or ASE, is an item that appears in The Conduit and Conduit 2. It is a prototype device that has many uses. Michael Ford was in possession of it for most of the series. The ASE is used for a variety of reasons. It's able to detect hidden messages left by the Drudge, hack computer systems, detect and detonate ghost mines, open organic locks, and decloak the Storm Scarabs.
- The All-Seeing Eye, abbreviated as ASE and also called the "eye of Tiamat ," is a highly advanced device designed as a "universal cipher." The ASE emits a beam of light which has a variety of different uses, including decoding Hidden Messages scrawled on walls in Drudge alphabet, overriding organic locks and lighting up rooms. When active, it hovers a few inches above the user's palm. It also has the ability to hack into computer databases, detect and destroy Ghost Mines and reveal cloaked Storm Scarabs. Furthermore, Michael Ford can still perform melee attacks while holding the ASE.

| - The All-Seeing Eye, or ASE, is an item that appears in The Conduit and Conduit 2. It is a prototype device that has many uses. Michael Ford was in possession of it for most of the series. The ASE is used for a variety of reasons. It's able to detect hidden messages left by the Drudge, hack computer systems, detect and detonate ghost mines, open organic locks, and decloak the Storm Scarabs. In The Conduit, John Adams tries to get the ASE, but Michael Ford does everything he can to keep it away from him. Also, Prometheus uses the ASE to contact Ford. And before Prometheus' body was destroyed, he managed to upload his consciousness directly to the ASE. In Conduit 2, the ASE is used for a number of things, most importantly, absorbing the energies of Progenitor aliens to keep them from Adams. Prometheus then transfers those energies directly into the Destroyer Armor.
- The All-Seeing Eye, abbreviated as ASE and also called the "eye of Tiamat ," is a highly advanced device designed as a "universal cipher." The ASE emits a beam of light which has a variety of different uses, including decoding Hidden Messages scrawled on walls in Drudge alphabet, overriding organic locks and lighting up rooms. When active, it hovers a few inches above the user's palm. It also has the ability to hack into computer databases, detect and destroy Ghost Mines and reveal cloaked Storm Scarabs. Furthermore, Michael Ford can still perform melee attacks while holding the ASE. During the campaign mission "Contagion," John Adams refers to the ASE as an "experimental prototype," indicating that the ASE may have been intended to perform many more tasks. During the campaign mission "Closure," Adams was willing to destroy the Trust base in a nuclear explosion just to get rid of Ford, who still carried the ASE. This means that either the ASE can withstand such a blast, or another ASE can still be made. However Conduit 2 seems to point out that the ASE is product of Tiamat rather then The Trust, serving as spy drones for her. Since Michael was already in possesion of the ASE at the end of The Conduit's campaign, the device is available from the beginning in Conduit 2 and can be used in all missions of the game. The ASE gains new features and works more as a detective device in that game rather than a puzzle solver (all of the invisible obstacles and enemies from The Conduit did not return in Conduit 2), with it Ford can scan and read the many Conspiracy objects scattered around the globe. These objects vary from simple objects like an ancient bell, to cds, to papers with information, or even hidden energy containers. Other objects that the ASE can scan include the Blueprints, that can allow Michael to use the Arsenal Replicator on Atlantis. In the original conduit, the ASE alerted the player of the proximity of a puzzle or invisible enemy, but in conduit 2 this feature is replaced with a manual search, by pressing the alternate fire button the ASE sends a sonar-like wave and if a scannable object is nearby it will produce an echoe. Also while using the ASE in Conduit 2 the visor changes getting a blue color, with this especial visor any scannable object will shine in bright yellow making it easier to find, invisible enemies can also be detected with this feature. While in first walkthroughs the ASE is much more utilized than in The Conduit, in subsequent replays, the device is only used sparingly to hack some terminals due to the scannable conspiracy objects becoming inert after being scanned for the first time.
