After a stressful and quite challenging Chapter 4 in Beast of Reincarnation where you defeat the Taurus, you will start the next chapter in the cleanse walker, resting and eating to gather your strength. Chapter 5, called “Branching Paths” is all about exploration and fighting off some fairly challenging enemies.
The objective of this part is to open the gates of the Mastukawa Colony and fight off the main boss of the area. Here’s a detailed guide on completing the fifth chapter of the main story in Beast of Reincarnation.
How to complete The Branching Paths quest in Beast of Reincarnation
Going towards Matsuka Colony in Beast of Reincarnation
As you start the chapter, you will need to eat some food and rest in the cleanse walker and get ahead in the story. The first part of your objective is to reach the Mastukawa Colony. As you head towards it, make sure that you set up camps along the way and open chests wherever you find them. There are interesting items such as scale coats or even spirit stones that you need to equip.
You will need them as there are some enemies coming in your way. It will take you a good amount of time to explore the entire region and reach the Mastuka Colony so make sure that you are properly prepared.
Getting inside the Matsuka Colony
As you get in the vicinity of the colony, you will find a giant metal bridge. Head over to it and make sure that you interact with the wandering merchant standing near the gate and get yourself the best items you can afford for your fighting style. Find the lift and then pull down the lever to go down.
Once you reach the lower levels, make sure to save your game by sitting in camps. This is also the part where you will encounter enemies who will make sure that you do not get ahead. Fight them off and you will get to the next objective in Beast of Reincarnation.
Head towards the center of the colony
This is where you will have to explore a little. Walk the pathways and corridors and make sure you look everywhere possible to find weapons such as Hazebringer, interesting notes about the lore of the game, and some useful gear. You will find a lift that will take you down. Just press the lever and go to the lower level.
Here, you wil find a massive circular column that rotates. Go towards it and find the camp to save the game. Inside a room, you will find some crypts and the control panel near the windows. Open the gates of the town and you are done with this region. All that remains between you and the exit of the building is the main boss. So prepare for a long and challenging fight.
Fight the Rangifer beast
This is the most challenging part of the game but the most exciting as well. As you open the gate, alarms will start ringing meaning that the escape will not be easy. As you get outside of this crypt room, you will find the massive Rangifer beast. Your task is to defeat it.
Remember that there is not much variety in its attack patterns which means it will be easier for you to remember what Rangier is about to do and plan your parries and attacks accordingly. It executes a lot of swoop attacks, stomps on you, and some very quick lunges. Make sure to stun it and deliver the maximum damage.
The phase two is when it turns into a bizarre mix of a tree and an animal with red horns. Thankfully, there are not many special attacks in this phase that you need to memorize.
Just keep the flow of attack going, parry properly and you will be done with this boss in no time. Once all that is cleared, you will end up in the cleanse chamber to rest and get ahead in the story.
