Where to find charms in Beast of Reincarnation
Polygon has published a guide for Beast of Reincarnation explaining where to find and how to use "charms," the magical necklaces that serve as the main equipment for the character Koo, boosting stats such as attack power, health and critical rate. The guide matters for new players because charms are easy to miss early on, with the only ones on the game's first map hidden in optional areas rather than handed out through normal progression.
The article lists eight early-game charm locations in the Ogouchi Buffer Zone, found on rusted golems, in crates, strongboxes and a sewer container, including one obtained via a code (08110) dropped by an elite golem. From the third map onwards, charms drop more commonly from enemies, particularly golems. All charms are found "decayed" and must be identified at a campsite campfire, gaining one primary and one secondary stat at a random rarity level (1 to 3); players can reroll stats by saving before collecting a charm from a box, though this trick doesn't work on charms dropped by defeated enemies.
In short
- Guide details where to find charms for Koo in Beast of Reincarnation.
- Eight starter charm locations listed in the Ogouchi Buffer Zone.
- Charms can be identified and rerolled at campsites for better stats.
Explained simply
In Beast of Reincarnation, Koo is the main character, and charms are magical necklaces she can equip. They improve attributes such as attack power, health and critical rate, which can affect how she fares in combat.
Charms are found in the game world, including in containers and on enemies. Early ones can be tucked away in optional areas, so players may miss them while following the main route.
A charm is decayed when first found and needs to be identified at a campsite campfire before its benefits are known. It then receives two attribute boosts, with their strength varying by rarity.
