To complete Investigating the Village in Beast of Reincarnation, activate the Village Surroundings Camp, follow the path into the village, collect the nearby Amber if you want it, speak to the figure inside the red-lantern building, then clear the Noxious Wild: Climbing Higanbana fight with parries and Koo’s Bloom Arts.
Investigating the Village is an early Chapter 1 objective that teaches you how the Ogochi Buffer Zone flows: move from a camp, sweep nearby supplies, follow the marker, and answer the next combat lesson. The mission is short, but it matters because it opens the path toward the next main objective after you find the clue inside the village.

Where Investigating the Village fits in Chapter 1
This mission comes after the opening tutorial in Chapter 1: Seedling, once Emma and Koo are moving through the Ogochi Buffer Zone. The objective shown on-screen is Investigating the Village / Search the village for clues.
KEY!Your job is not to clear the entire chapter here. You only need to reach the village, inspect the useful camp and pickups nearby, interact with the figure in the red-lantern building, and survive the combat check that follows.
Investigating the Village route at a glance
| Waypoint | Action |
|---|---|
| Starting path | Sprint forward with L3 and follow the road toward the village. |
| Village Surroundings Camp | Examine the camp and save before going deeper. |
| Village approach | Clear Blade Arc: Shukuyaku near the entrance. |
| Wooden hut and butterflies | Collect optional Amber from the toolbox and Amber Butterflies. |
| Red-lantern building | Speak to the figure inside to advance the objective. |
| Combat arena | Beat Noxious Wild: Climbing Higanbana with parries and Koo’s skills. |
| Next objective | Move on to The Foreman in the Subelty. |
Use this as the short route: camp first, village clue second, enemy clear third. The Amber pickups are worth grabbing while you are there, but they are not required to trigger the mission update.

Blade Arc and Noxious Wild combat checks
| Mechanic | Use |
|---|---|
| Parry timing | Press L1 just before the hit connects. |
| FP recovery | Successful parries restore the FP Koo needs for skills. |
| Koo’s Bloom Arts | Open the command with Triangle and select a skill with X. |
| Available Bloom Arts | Higanbana Seeds Lv.1, Higanbana Bloom Lv.1, and Higanbana Roots Lv.1. |
Blade Arc: Shukuyaku is the first real stop on the village approach, and it mainly exists to make sure you can deal with a named enemy before exploring freely. Lock on, watch the attack timing, and avoid treating every exchange like a button-mash duel.
The larger check is Noxious Wild: Climbing Higanbana. The tutorial prompt here is direct: parry right before an attack lands. Successful parries restore FP, which Koo spends on Bloom Arts, so your defense feeds straight into your best offense.
Parry Noxious Wild first instead of spending FP immediately; the parries refill Koo’s skill resource and make the Bloom Arts finish much cleaner.
Village pickups and optional return points
| Pickup | Where/how |
|---|---|
| Toolbox Amber | Inside the small wooden hut near the village approach; open it with X and take all with Triangle. |
| Amber Butterflies | Hold X near them to lift and collect Amber. |
| Village Surroundings Camp | Use it to rest, level up attributes, acquire skills, enhance equipment, view pack, open tutorials, and save. |
| Red-key locked door | Optional return point in the Abandoned Village; the reward behind it is 538 Amber and 1 Ancient Book (common). |
The village has a few useful rewards around the main path. Grab the nearby Amber before leaving if you want extra currency, then use the camp as your anchor for any return trip.
The red-key door is not part of the required Investigating the Village route. Treat it as a return stop once you have the key, not something you need before the red-lantern interaction or the Noxious Wild fight.
The Foreman in the Subelty comes next
After you interact with the village figure, the objective changes to The Foreman in the Subelty / Search for the subelty entrance. Some area and objective text appears with nearby spellings elsewhere, but the mission handoff shown here points you toward the subelty entrance.
From there, the broader Chapter 1 path starts moving toward the subcity and its foreman. This guide stops at the Investigating the Village clear, so use the new marker as your next main-story direction.
