Beast of Reincarnation is deliberately intended to make you approach it like a Soulslike, so there&#8217;s no shame in admitting you need some help from time to time. Thanks to Emma and Koo&#8217;s well-populated skill trees and synergies, there are plenty of approaches you can take, and what may seem like a tall order can be made a little simpler by taking your time, reading the in-game tutorials, and optimizing your build. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that in mind, we&#8217;ve put together some essential tips for the early game in Beast of Reincarnation, so that you can progress through the story with a little less friction. But not none at all, because that wouldn&#8217;t be any fun.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1835390\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260729134246_1.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1835390\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Combination attacks have powerful benefits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-unlock-skill-combinations-first\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unlock skill combinations first<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to your standard attacks, unlockable skill combinations are far more deadly. Focus on using your skill points to obtain them in the first instance. You&#8217;ll also unlock some of these as you progress through the story and take down some of the bosses. The first boss, the Rangifier, gives you the Sakura Storm skill. This will unleash a row of Sakura after four consecutive slashes, and you can use them to leap out of the way.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1835391\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260729134543_1.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1835391\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Early game skills can change the way you play.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-consider-where-to-spend-your-skill-points\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consider where to spend your skill points<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you&#8217;ve unlocked some of the combination attacks, focus on what complements your build. The Helm Splitter aerial attack can be acquired early on, and allows Emma to use her hair to get height, and then slam down to the ground for a devastating AoE attack. This helps with both evasion&#8211;since you&#8217;re in the air, some boss attacks can&#8217;t reach her&#8211;and dealing damage that contributes to the stun meter.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1835392\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260728102031_1.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1835392\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Menus will tell you more than most games.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-read-the-menus-carefully\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read the menus carefully<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a ton of helpful tutorials in the menus, as well as helpful indicators that tell you whether it&#8217;s worth returning to the cleanse walker. Often, there will be character story beats to catch, or you&#8217;ll be able to upgrade equipment. <\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1835393\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260728105827_1.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1835393\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Koo can sniff out valuables.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-koo-has-a-great-nose-on-him\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Koo has a great nose on him<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pay attention to what Emma is saying to Koo, or to the notifications that pop up. Koo can sniff out enemies, valuable items, chests, and more. As you level him up, he&#8217;ll be able to collect these too. <\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1835394\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260724100404_1.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1835394\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Don&#8217;t miss out on potential healing opportunities.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-healing-in-midair-is-a-viable-tactic\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healing in midair is a viable tactic<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using Emma&#8217;s hair to gain height or distance from an enemy so that she can heal and recover enough to return to the fight is something you should focus on doing. Those few moments of respite could be the difference between survival or having to start the fight over again. <\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1835401\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260728112039_1.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1835401\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shooting in midair or commanding Koo will slow down time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-use-the-slow-motion-mechanics\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use the slow motion mechanics<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you&#8217;re commanding Koo to attack, or shooting a bow in midair, or using Emma&#8217;s abilities, time will slow down. In the case of shooting in midair, this means you can get multiple shots in as opposed to just the one, so it&#8217;s always worth trying to get some height before shooting. Oh, and if you hold down your crossbow attack, it turns into a rapid-firing machine.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1835403\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260728105651_1.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1835403\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Koo&#8217;s great, if you use him properly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-don-t-use-koo-while-your-opponent-is-stunned\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t use Koo while your opponent is stunned<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some reason, Koo&#8217;s attacks just aren&#8217;t as effective while your enemies are stunned. Wait until they recover before using Koo&#8217;s attack points for his next assault. A lot of these come with status effects too, which will contribute to the enemy become stunned faster for a next round of huge damage from Emma.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1835404\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260728112055_1.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1835404\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Multi-hit moves can lead to &#8220;free&#8221; attacks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-koo-s-multi-hit-moves-are-great\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Koo&#8217;s multi-hit moves are great<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using Koo&#8217;s multi-hit moves that have +1 Bloom on hit means they&#8217;re essentially free attacks. As soon as each attack in the sequence lands, Koo will gain one Bloom, meaning you can choose to attack again almost immediately after. Just remember that you&#8217;ll need to use a different attack than the previous one initially.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1835406\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260724102016_1.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1835406\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Try using your hair around corners.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-you-can-steer-your-hair\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can steer your hair<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extending Emma&#8217;s hair doesn&#8217;t always need to be in a straight line. Try turning it around a corner while ascending a wall to get a free platform in midair. You&#8217;ll find this invaluable when seeking out easy routes to gain height, or looking for hidden items.<\/p>\n<figure data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;core&quot;: { &quot;image&quot;: { &quot;initialized&quot;: true } } }\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-ref-id=\"1835407\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.core.image.showLightbox\" style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" height=\"576\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260729111619_1.jpg?w=636\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1835407\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Arrows will show the right route in some situations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-look-for-not-so-subtle-hints\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look for not-so-subtle hints<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes, when a path forward might be a little confusing, there will be helpful directions etched on a nearby wall, sign, or floor.
