Trials

TRIALS

SHPC

22 trial stages — Shepel's briefing chain.

Hold SHPC and finish Shepel’s first-meeting story to register trials under SHPC · Trials in the entrust panel. Each boss tier cleared raises weapon level by 1, up to 22. Level syncs with world boss kills and only goes up; bosses you already defeated auto-complete their step.

The left-side tracker only appears while you are holding SHPC. If the boss is not spawned, it shows “Target is absent, awaiting summons…”; when present, progress tracks remaining HP. The final step, Battle of Terminus, has no trackable boss: start Boss Rush with the Terminus to finish and reach max level.

Trials only raise the weapon’s base level. The six module slots, cyberspace, and other systems stay independent. See the Shepel story page for Braindance, gifts, and reactive dialogue.
