Beast of Reincarnation: All 13 Chapters and Regions

What this page is, and what it is worth

Two sources have published the shape of this campaign and they were produced in completely different ways. VGC typed out thirteen chapter titles and thirteen region names. BeardBear, uploading a nineteen-hour 100% capture, wrote his own chapter markers as "Chapter 1 (Ogouchi Buffer Zone)", "Chapter 2 (Ancient Civilization Zone)" and so on across twelve of them, bracketed by a Prologue and an Epilogue. Neither could have copied the other: one is a list of chapter *titles* with no regions attached, the other is a list of *regions* with no titles attached. Where they overlap — the region sequence — they match exactly, and that overlap is the strongest structural claim this site can currently make about the game.

• The region sequence is corroborated: two independent sources, same twelve regions, same order.
• The chapter titles are single-source past chapter four. VGC has all thirteen; allthings.how independently gives the first four in the same order, and nothing corroborates five through thirteen.
• The chapter-to-region pairing comes from BeardBear alone, because he is the only person who has published one.
• No boss level appears on this page. See the last section for why.

The regions, in order

The left column is BeardBear's chapter marker, typed over footage of the game running. The right two are VGC's region list, which groups the same places under four larger region names. The rows line up one for one, in order, without either source having been adjusted to fit the other.

The chapter titles

VGC publishes these thirteen plus an epilogue. They are botanical the whole way down, which is consistent with a game whose currency is amber, whose skills are Blade Arts and Bloom Arts, and whose dog wears a mane of flowers — but consistency is not corroboration, and only the first four have a second source.

How long each segment runs, in the one capture that marks them

BeardBear's markers are timestamps, so the gaps between them are measurable, and the measurement says something a list of names cannot: the chapters are nowhere near equal. Chapter 1 is 3h 08m of his run and Chapter 11 is 17m — one is eleven times the other. "Chapter 3 of 13" therefore tells a reader much less about how far through they are than it sounds like it does, which is worth knowing before using a chapter number to judge your own progress. Read every figure below as what it is: elapsed time in one uploaded 100% capture, checkable against its seek bar in about ten seconds. It is not playtime. This page declines to publish per-chapter playtime because the whole-game figures our sources give disagree with each other and not one of them is broken down by chapter — see the length question for that disagreement.

• Each region now has its own page under /chapters/, carrying the segment's position, its run time, a frame from inside it and a deep link to the minute it starts.
• The interactive bar at the top of this page is the same data. Tap a segment to mark where you are; it is stored in your browser and nowhere else.
• The Epilogue carries no screenshot on purpose. Its marker is titled "Final Boss & Ending" and every frame in it is a spoiler.

The one place the two sources do not agree

VGC counts thirteen numbered chapters and an epilogue. BeardBear counts a prologue, twelve numbered chapters and an epilogue. Both therefore describe fourteen segments, and the disagreement is only about where the numbering starts and stops — but it is a real disagreement and it is not resolved here.

• On our reading the two line up if BeardBear's Epilogue marker covers what VGC calls chapter 13, "To Bloom, Then Fall", in the region VGC calls Center of the Blight — his marker is titled "Epilogue (Final Boss & Ending)", and a final boss is chapter content rather than an epilogue.
• That is our reading and not either source's claim. Neither publishes a mapping, so treat the numbering in the first table as BeardBear's own and the numbering in the second as VGC's own.
• What would settle it: one screenshot of the in-game chapter select, or one save file showing a chapter number next to a title. Neither exists in anything we hold.

What this fixes on the boss page

The boss page says, in its own words, that two creators have published complete boss lists which do not agree — twenty-one chaptered entries against twenty-two, in a different sequence — and that neither carries a reference for where a given fight sits in the game. This page is that missing reference. A boss can now be placed by the region it is fought in, which is a claim both sources support, instead of by a position in one creator's edit.

• ExoGhost's twenty-one markers name Rangifer first and "Mikoto the Beast of Reincarnation" last, with Crimson Malefact marked "(Transformed Koo)" late in the run — consistent with the region order above.
• The boss names themselves are no better attested than they were: every one still reaches us as text a creator typed. Nothing on this page promotes a spelling.
• Repeat encounters are real. ExoGhost marks Rangifer three times and Nue Malefact five, at different levels — so "which boss is next" is not the same question as "which boss have I not seen".

What is deliberately missing

Two things a reader might reasonably expect here are not here, and both are absent for the same reason: the only available version of them cannot be checked.

• Boss levels. allthings.how publishes a level for every boss in every chapter — Rangifer at 9, Lacerta at 13, Taurus at 26 and so on. It cites nothing for any of them, and no other source we hold publishes a single boss level. Repeating an uncited number because it is specific is how a guide site becomes unreliable in one step.
• Per-chapter directions. There is no route, no objective list and no "go left at the shrine" anywhere on this page, because nobody here has played the chapter. The completionist captures linked below are the honest answer to that question and they are linked rather than summarised.
• Playtime per chapter. VGC gives whole-game figures of 20 hours fast, 25–28 average and 30–35 completionist; Fextralife gives 30–40 per playthrough and attributes it to the developer and publisher. Those disagree, and that disagreement already has its own page — see the length question rather than a number invented here.
