How To Respec In Beast Of Reincarnation (Reset Skills And Attributes)

TL;DR

• Respec is not available from the start — you unlock it by meeting Mikoto in the Ancient Civilization Zone during Chapter 2.
• Once unlocked, use the Communicator (phone) on the Cleanse Walker to call Mikoto and select Reset Attributes.
• Respec costs 100 Amber per Attribute Point invested — so the first reset costs around 2,200 Amber.
• Emma and Koo are reset separately — you can reset one without touching the other.
• All Attribute Points and Skill Points are refunded at the same time — you cannot reset skills alone.
• There is no limit to how many times you can respec, as long as you have enough Amber.
• Mikoto also unlocks Skill Enhancement branches separately from the respec system.

Can You Respec In Beast Of Reincarnation?

Yes, you can respec in Beast of Reincarnation — but not right away. The option is locked behind a story milestone and is tied to a specific NPC named Mikoto. Once you meet him, respeccing becomes available any time you are back at the Cleanse Walker, for as many times as you want, as long as you can pay the Amber cost.

This is worth knowing early because the skill tree is large and your early choices are permanent until Mikoto is available. Going in blind is fine, but if you invest heavily in the wrong direction before you unlock respec, you will be stuck with that build for several hours.

How To Unlock Respec — Meet Mikoto

Respec unlocks when you meet Mikoto, a young grey-haired NPC who is also touched by the Blight. He appears in the Ancient Civilization Zone, which is the second main area in Beast of Reincarnation. Most players reach him around the 7 to 10 hour mark, depending on difficulty and how much side content they do.

Here is exactly how the unlock happens:

1. Progress through the main story until you reach the Ancient Civilization Zone (Chapter 2).
2. Complete the early section of the zone, which includes a fight against the boss Lacerta.
3. After that fight, your objective becomes finding a Lightning Stone to power the gate — this is the Power the Gate quest.
4. Following the quest waypoint leads you into a cutscene where you encounter Mikoto.
5. Defeat the enemy nearby and talk to Mikoto to complete the meeting.
6. Return to the Cleanse Walker — Mikoto is now available via the Communicator.

You do not need to do anything special beyond following the main quest. Mikoto appears naturally as part of the story. If you want a full overview of where this falls in the game’s structure, check the Beast of Reincarnation chapter and quest list.

How To Respec In Beast Of Reincarnation Step By Step

Once Mikoto is unlocked, the process is quick. You need to be aboard the Cleanse Walker to do it.

1. Return to the Cleanse Walker.
2. Find the Communicator — this is the phone on the wall near the door that leads outside.
3. Interact with the Communicator and select Call Mikoto.
4. Choose Reset Attributes from the menu options.
5. Select whether you want to reset Emma’s attributes or Koo’s attributes. Each character is handled separately.
6. The screen shows you exactly how many Attribute Points and Skill Points you will get back, along with the Amber cost.
7. Confirm the reset. Your points are refunded immediately.
8. Reallocate your points from the Cleanse Walker or at any Camp.

The whole process takes under a minute once you know where the Communicator is. You will know the reset worked when your stats drop back to base values and the skill tree empties out, leaving all your points free to reassign.

How Much Does Respec Cost In Beast Of Reincarnation?

Respeccing costs 100 Amber per Attribute Point you have invested at the time of the reset. Amber is the game’s main currency and is found throughout the world.

Here is a quick cost breakdown to give you an idea:

• 10 Attribute Points invested = 1,000 Amber
• 22 Attribute Points invested = 2,200 Amber (typical first respec cost)
• More points as you level up = cost scales accordingly

The first respec tends to cost around 2,200 Amber for most players. As you get deeper into the game and invest more points, the cost rises significantly. By the late game, a full reset is noticeably expensive.

If you are short on Amber, the fastest fix is selling Spirit Stones you are not using. They are common drops and sell for a decent amount. Merchants will also buy other unwanted gear and materials. If you need Amber fast before a tough boss fight, a quick merchant visit usually covers it.

What Gets Reset When You Respec?

When you reset attributes, both Attribute Points and Skill Points are refunded together. This is because many skills are locked behind specific attribute thresholds. Resetting attributes would break those requirements, so the game resets the whole build at once.

Here is what you get back:

• All Attribute Points you have spent are refunded.
• All Skill Points tied to those attributes are also refunded.
• You can immediately spend all of them again in any order you choose.

Here is what you cannot do:

• You cannot reset skills only. There is no option to keep your attributes and wipe just the skill tree. It is all or nothing.
• You cannot reset both Emma and Koo at the same time in one step — each is handled as a separate reset with its own cost.

If you only want to adjust one character’s build, you only pay for that character. You do not have to reset both if you do not need to.

How Many Times Can You Respec?

There is no limit to the number of times you can respec in Beast of Reincarnation. You can reset Emma and Koo’s builds as many times as you want, as long as you have enough Amber to pay Mikoto each time. This means you can freely experiment with different builds throughout the game without permanently locking yourself into anything.

That said, the cost scales with how many points you have invested, so frequent respeccing in the late game can drain your Amber reserves fast. Being reasonably decisive about your builds — at least until you find one that works — saves you currency.

Mikoto’s Skill Enhancement — What Is Different

Beyond respeccing, Mikoto also provides a Skill Enhancement service, which is a separate system and works differently from a straight reset.

Mikoto unlocks new enhancement branches for specific skills at set points in the story. These branches let you spend Skill Points to add extra effects to skills Emma and Koo already have — things like faster cooldowns, additional damage, or new behaviour on an existing move.

The key difference:

• Respec — Refunds all your points so you can rebuild from scratch.
• Skill Enhancement — Adds new upgrade branches to specific skills as the story progresses. You unlock these by meeting Mikoto at story beats, not by paying Amber.

When you first meet Mikoto, only the top branches — the skills Emma and Koo start with — are available for enhancement. More branches unlock as you progress through the story. Check the full achievements list to see if any build-related trophies are worth targeting as you experiment with different setups.

Tips For Respeccing Efficiently

A few things worth knowing before you commit to a full reset:

• Check the cost before confirming. The game shows you exactly what you will spend and what you will get back before you finalise. Read this screen carefully — especially in the late game when costs are high.
• Respec before a hard boss, not after. If a fight is giving you trouble, a build adjustment before you attempt it again is smarter than grinding the same fight with a build that is not working.
• Sell Spirit Stones if you need Amber fast. They are one of the best items to sell because they are common and go for solid value at merchants.
• Reset one character at a time when possible. If Koo’s build is fine and only Emma needs adjusting, only pay for Emma’s reset. Keep the cost lower where you can.
• Reallocate at a Camp or the Cleanse Walker. Once you confirm the reset, you can spend your refunded points from any Camp — you do not need to stay at the Walker to do it.

If you are exploring a tough section and want to be combat-ready before you dive in, stock up on food too. A full hunger meter means passive HP recovery between fights, which goes a long way when you are testing a new build. See our guide on how to get food in Beast of Reincarnation to keep Emma and Koo in shape after a respec session.

Where Respec Fits Into The Bigger Picture

Knowing you can respec takes a lot of the pressure off early build decisions. You do not need to research the perfect build before you start spending points. Invest in what feels useful, learn how combat works, and adjust once you have a clearer picture of what the game demands.

The Ancient Civilization Zone — where you meet Mikoto — is also worth exploring thoroughly. See the Ancient Civilization Zone guide for everything you need to clear that area cleanly, including the Lacerta boss encounter right before Mikoto appears.

If you are just starting out and want to plan your time, our how long to beat Beast of Reincarnation guide gives you a realistic timeline for when you can expect to hit Mikoto and unlock the respec system.

For shrine and golem encounters that may be pushing your current build to its limits, check all shrine locations and all Keeper Golem locations — these are often the moments where a build adjustment makes the biggest difference.
