Beast of Reincarnation guides you can actually trust

Game Freak’s first AAA launched August 3, 2026 — and the “wikis” that appeared overnight admit in their own fine print that their stats are unset. We do the opposite: every fact here is labeled Steam-verified, corroborated, community-reported (with the source named), or unconfirmed. If we don’t know, we say so.

Where players actually are, day 1

Steam’s global achievement stats are a live progression curve nobody can fake. Right now only 33% of players have reached the hidden Koo story beat “Man's Best Friend”, and just 12.1% have beaten the first Nushi.

The Nushi kill funnel

Rangifer's End ✓ corroborated

Rangifer — the great deer (api id: shika, 鹿) · beaten by 12.1% of players

The first Nushi and the first real wall: on launch day only about one in eight players had beaten it. Fought more than once across the story (chapter 1 encounters at level 9 and 12, and again at level 32 later).

Lacerta's End ✓ corroborated

Lacerta — the salamander (api id: salamander) · beaten by 3.1% of players

Chapter 2's closing Nushi (encounters reported at levels 13 and 16). The funnel drops hard here: only a quarter of the players who beat Rangifer have beaten Lacerta.

Taurus's End ✓ corroborated

Taurus — the bull (api id: ushi, 牛) · beaten by 1.2% of players

Chapter 4 Nushi, met again around chapter 8 (reported levels 26/29/44).

Corvus's End ✓ corroborated

Corvus — the crow (api id: crow) · beaten by 1.1% of players

Chapter 7 Nushi (reported level 38).

All seven Nushi checkpoints, with weaknesses and skill rewards, are on the Nushi bosses page — including the one we can’t identify yet, tracked openly instead of invented.

What nobody knows yet

Day-1 truth: some of the most-searched data does not exist in any credible source yet. We track the gaps openly — if you can verify any of these in-game, send it in and get credited:

  • The full Spirit Stone table — names, trigger conditions, values, drop locations. No source has published a single named stone.
  • Per-node SP costs and the total skill-node count.
  • Parry window frames, Down Gauge thresholds, FP cap and recovery values.
  • A verified katana list — name, location, unique ability (one viral third-party list looks fabricated; see the weapons page).
  • Koo's Charms: confirmed to exist, zero published entries.
