Beast of Reincarnation Cleanse Walker — Why Swords Cap Out

The Table Every Other Guide Splits in Three

This is the whole system, and the reason it is confusing: the three materials look alike — they are all skull-shaped salvage — but they are separate items feeding separate levels. Most sites publish a location page for each one without saying which upgrade it unlocks, so you can read three guides and still not know what to go and find.

The colour coding is the fastest way to remember it, and it is confirmed from two directions: the upgrade screen labels the three abilities blue, yellow and green, and the salvage items are described by colour in the same order.

Why “Farm Memory Chips” Is the Wrong Advice

This is the single most useful thing on this page. Search for the error message and the answer you get back, repeatedly, is some version of “collect all the memory chips you can find” — one major outlet even writes it as “hunt for Power memory chips”, which is not a thing the game contains.

Memory Chips raise Knowledge. Knowledge gates the ranged line only. If your sword is the thing refusing to upgrade, memory chips will not move that number no matter how many you collect — you need Generator Devices. The advice is not quite wrong so much as under-specified, but the practical result is players spending hours on the wrong pickup.

The check takes a second: open the weapon’s upgrade entry and read which ability it names, then go and find that colour.

Power 5 Is the Number That Matters

Of the three, Power is the one that actually bites, because it is the one standing between you and a finished weapon. Reaching the maximum sword tier requires Power at level 5 or higher. Two independent guides describe Power as the usual limiter on weapon enhancement, especially for melee.

Practical consequence for anyone saving up: salvage every golem and every mechanical wreck you walk past, even when you are not short of Amber. Amber and Bauera levels are two different currencies and only one of them can be farmed on demand. Full costs are on the Amber farming page, and the upgrade lines themselves are covered under weapons.

One thing worth not hoarding for: surplus salvage turns into Amber automatically once a level is satisfied. There is no penalty for spending, and no benefit to sitting on a stack.

Where the Salvage Comes From

• Strongboxes — frequently marked on your map by Koo. The strongbox page covers opening them.
• Rusted golems and mechanical ruins of the old world — the densest source, and the reason exploring off-route pays.
• Enemy and golem drops as you fight through a zone.
• Marked as Valuables on the overworld map, with the three types often sitting near each other.

What Nobody Has Published

Being direct about the gaps, because several sites fill them with confident-sounding numbers that have no source behind them:

• The level requirement for every individual weapon tier. Only the headline figure — Power 5 for a maxed sword — is documented. What Power 2, 3 or 4 unlock, and whether different swords ask for different levels, has not been published by anyone.
• How much salvage each level costs. One guide states 30 of a material per ability to reach a cap of level 7 ⚠ single source. No second source repeats either figure, and no source at all gives the per-level breakdown.
• How many of each item exist in the world. Location pages exist, but no total is agreed across them.
• Whether Facility Modules and Generator Devices overlap. Both are credited with expanding the Grow Chamber and Incubator by different sources. Nobody has stated the division cleanly.

If you see a page giving exact per-level costs, ask where the number came from — we could not find one, and we would rather say so than invent a table.
