The First Descendanthas a prestige mechanic, similar to Call of Duty games, where you’re able to reset one of your Descendant’s levels to 1 and become even stronger. The mechanic is sensible because you can reach the maximum level before completing half of the campaign missions. Here’s how to reset your Descendant’s level in The First Descendant and what benefits you get from resetting.
How to Reset From Max Level in The First Descendant
You must reach level 40, or the max level, on the specific Descendant you want to reset to reset your level. Once you have maxed out a Descendant’s level, you also need a Crystallization Catalyst. You automatically get one when you finish the campaign. However, you’re able to only get it once through this method.
You can also research the Crystallization Catalyst through Anais in Albion. You can get all the materials from the Descendant Trainer when you finish the “Something Can Be Improved” sub-quest. You can only get these rewards once.
Once you have a Crystallization Catalyst, go to your Descendant Module page. Look at the right side and select “Module Additional Settings.” Another window will show up, and then select “Assign Module Socket Type.” Choose an empty module slot and select the appropriate socket type you want to apply. These socket types will reduce the required capacity by half for a specific module if they fit the socket type.
Once you have applied the socket type,your Descendant’s level will automatically reset. This is the main way to increase your Descendant’s power once you reach the endgame. You’ll continuously reset their level to apply these socket types to fit in more modules.
