The megasphere is a gray-brown orb with a snarling demonic face (similar to that of the Mancubus). Picking it up maxes out both the player's health and armor to 200%. The armor given by a megasphere is equivalent to blue armor.
The game manual states that megaspheres "combine the power of combat armor with the benefits of a Soul Sphere". However, this is incorrect, as Soul Spheres will add a maximum of 100 points to the player's current health.
Megaspheres are included in the items percentage displayed at the end of each level.
