Beast Of Reincarnation: Bosses and Elites
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/beast-of-reincarnation-shidou.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) In Beast Of Reincarnation(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/beast-of-reincarnation), your (and Emma's and Koo's) greatest challenges will always be the bosses of each region. Emma's quest is to hunt down the various Nushi - incredibly powerful Malefact bosses - which spread the Blight in each of their zones, before venturing to the Capital to finish off the Beast Of Reincarnation itself, once and for all. But the Nushi aren't the only dangers out there, because regular Malefacts and Golems can also appear in Elite varieties, making them much tougher to defeat than their ordinary kin. Many of these bosses are tucked out of the way of the main path, so it can be tricky to track them all down and 100% each map as you progress through the story. In the guide below, we make the job of hunting down all the boss locations in Beast Of Reincarnation as easy as possible. Read on to find handcrafted maps of each region, with all the locations of every Boss and Elite marked and numbered so you can find them without any hassle.

Beast Of Reincarnation: Best Skills
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/beast-of-reincarnation-emma-and-koo.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Beast Of Reincarnation(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/beast-of-reincarnation) offers up two branching Skill trees (yes, literal trees) that you can peruse to unlock Skills for both Emma and her loyal Malefact companion, Koo. There are some extremely powerful and beneficial Skills to unlock in both these trees, but their strange presentation - extending both far above into the tree branches and below, into the tree's roots - can be a little hard to parse at first glance. Each tree is split into two sections: the upper Skills, within the tree's branches, are for unlocking and upgrading special activatable abilities. These abilities are called Blade Arts (for Emma) and Bloom Arts (for Koo). The lower Skills within the tree roots, meanwhile, unlock minor nodes with various benefits, and each branch requires you to progressively upgrade one of the three attributes for Emma and Koo: Strength, Vitality, and Florescence. This means if you want to unlock the best Skills early on, you also need to know ahead of time which attributes to level up, so that you can unlock those abilities in the Skill tree. If this is all a bit confusing to you, fear not! In this guide, I'll walk you through the six best Skills to unlock first in Beast Of Reincarnation - three for Emma and three for Koo - so that you know exactly what to do first in both Skill trees.

Beast Of Reincarnation: Best weapons
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/beast-of-reincarnation-emma-wielding-katana.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Over the course of Beast Of Reincarnation(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/beast-of-reincarnation), you'll be able to find or purchase a variety of different Katanas for Emma to use in combat. Each of these weapons deals the same base damage, but they differ in their active effect. To activate the weapon's special effect, all you need to do is successfully parry an enemy attack; after that, the effect is active for 5 seconds. As you might expect, some of these weapon effects are particularly potent, and some of the very best Katanas can in fact be obtained in the first few hours of the game, if you know where to look. In this guide, I'll show you exactly how to get four of the very best early weapons in Beast Of Reincarnation as quickly as possible, and explain how their effects can be used to massively increase Emma's potential in combat. All of these weapons will see you handily through the entire game, as long as you keep them upgraded - so it's best to find them as early as possible!

Beast Of Reincarnation: Red Key location
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/beast-of-reincarnation-red-key-close-up.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Exploring the first map in Beast Of Reincarnation(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/beast-of-reincarnation), it won't be long before you come across the Abandoned Village in the south, where you'll find a locked door that can only be opened with the "Red Key". So, where is this Red Key, and how do you obtain it? And what's on the other side of that locked door? The Red Key is actually part of the main story quest in Chapter 1, and is used to unlock an even more important door later on. But once you have it, you should remember to head back to the Abandoned Village and open this locked door for a nice little extra reward. Follow the guide below to learn exactly what to do and where to go to find the Red Key in Beast Of Reincarnation, and what to do with it once you've got it!

Beast Of Reincarnation: Shrine locations
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/beast-of-reincarnation-dragons-favor-from-dragon-vein-shrine.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Dragon Vein Shrines can be found from Chapter 2 onwards in Beast Of Reincarnation(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/beast-of-reincarnation), and they're among the most powerful and important locations to come across on each map. Interacting with enough Dragon Vein Shrines will permanently increase your maximum number of Stims, your primary source of healing Emma during fights. The first Dragon Vein Shrine you find will immediately give you an extra Stim, but after that you'll need to find 10 Shrines for each new Stim. So finding them all, across every map, is very important if you want to maximise your healing and combat potential. We've been hard at work hunting down every last Dragon Vein Shrine in each of the game's maps, and we've put together the guide and maps below so that you can easily track down all the Shrine locations in Beast Of Reincarnation.

Beast Of Reincarnation: How to Roll
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/beast-of-reincarnation-emma-running-from-malefact.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Beast Of Reincarnation(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/beast-of-reincarnation), like many melee-focused action RPGs nowadays, gives you a lot of options when it comes to combat. This extends to countering attacks - by now you've probably learnt that Emma can both parry and evade attacks. But did you know that you can also Roll?... Rolling travels much further than a simple evade, which makes it the best form of defence when it comes to giving yourself a moment to think or heal up. In this quick guide, I'll explain how to unlock the ability to Roll in Beast Of Reincarnation, and how to activate it in combat.

The studio behind Pokémon struggles to find its voice in Beast of Reincarnation
You have to imagine that the team at Game Freak is bursting with ideas. The studio puts out new mainline Pok&233;mon adventures with a machinelike precision. But every so often it launches a curious experiment, whether it's an action title about a militarized elephant or turning horse races into a card game, showing that it's &8230;
Beast of Reincarnation: How to change language
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/emma-holding-out-hand.jpg?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) Beast of Reincarnation(https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/games/beast-of-reincarnation) features both English and Japanese voice-overs, and it's not immediately clear how to switch between them. Considering that you're reading this guide, English may be your preferred language, or perhaps you want something that sounds a little more appropriate for the ruined Kanto region of Japan that this game takes place in. Whatever your preference, if you've already started the game, accessing Settings only lets you change the language of in-game text, not voice-overs. In this quick guide, we'll explain exactly how to change the voice-over language in Beast of Reincarnation, and we'll also offer our thoughts on which voice-over choice is better - English or Japanese.
