In the world of gaming, character progression plays a critical role in enhancing the overall experience, and in «Arknights: Endfield,» this is embodied by the concept of promotion. Much like ascension in other popular titles, such as «Genshin Impact» or «Wuthering Waves,» promotions in «Endfield» allow players to raise the level cap of their characters and unlock various abilities. The game’s design encourages a structured development path, especially in the early stages. One vital resource needed for promotion is the Red Bolete.
To acquire Red Bolete, players must first achieve an Authority Level of 25 and advance through the primary quests until reaching the mission titled «Down the Hill.» This mission transitions gameplay from Originium Science Park to the lush region of Origin Lodespring, where Red Bolete can be found. Players can navigate to Origin Lodespring by heading northeast and bypassing the Cliffside Trail, but access is contingent upon making progress through the main storyline, underscoring the importance of meeting the level requirement.
Once players arrive at their destination, they should look for icons resembling domes with bunny ears, which denote gathering spots for resources. One such icon corresponds to Red Bolete, while another indicates Chrysodendra. Additionally, players can monitor the precise location of Red Bolete by selecting the item from their inventory and checking the «Rare Gathering Sites» option.
After players successfully gather Red Bolete, they can extract its seeds to grow more of this valuable resource in the Dijiang Production: Growth Chamber. However, to unlock the Growth Chamber, players need to upgrade their Control Nexus, which becomes available at level 24 through the quest «Dijiang Upgrade and Maintenance I.»
In the context of «Arknights: Endfield,» Red Bolete is a crucial item utilized for promoting Operators to level 40. This elevation raises the maximum level from 40 to 60, thereby significantly enhancing a character’s abilities and unleashing their full potential. Before utilizing Red Bolete, players typically work with Pink Bolete, which is used to promote Operators to level 20, advancing them to level 40.
The promotion process includes certain requirements. For Promotion II, players will need to secure 25 Protodisk, 5 Red Bolete, and 6,500 T-Creds. Achieving Promotion II also unlocks the Outfitting II upgrade, enabling Operators to equip higher-quality gear and elevate their skill levels to 6, a significant step up from the previous cap of rank 3. To support this enhancement, players will also need to collect Chrysodendra, another resource available in Origin Lodespring.
As players continue their journey in «Arknights: Endfield,» mastering resource management and understanding promotion mechanics will be vital in elevating their gaming experience and developing formidable characters.
