Beast of Reincarnation: Divine Beasts Locations and Order Guide — Complete Walkthrough

What This Guide Helps You Do#

This guide teaches you how to locate, contract, and strategically manage divine beasts—the animal servants that form the core of Beast of Reincarnation’s progression system. You’ll learn where to find each beast type, the optimal order to contract them based on your current gear and needs, and how to use their unique abilities to unlock new hunting grounds and income streams. It’s essential if you want to escape poverty in your village, build family wealth, and eventually venture into the dangerous deeper mountains where legendary creatures await.

This guide works best for players in the early-to-mid game who’ve just unlocked the Beast Servant System and are learning to hunt. It’s also valuable for returning players who want to understand the most efficient beast-hunting route and the hidden mechanics that govern contract success rates.

Requirements & Prep#

Before you begin hunting for divine beasts, you’ll need access to the mountains. You’ll want basic snare-making materials: cord or rope, and simple tools to fashion traps. Your family’s brush knife is sufficient for the early game, though a proper Chandel hunting knife (longer, with a socket that converts to a spear) will significantly improve your hunting efficiency and is worth saving toward.

You don’t need a gun or hunting dog to start contracting beasts—the Beast Servant System replaces these traditional tools. That said, understand that without a gun, you can’t safely venture into the deepest parts of the Greater Shingan Range where the most dangerous predators roam. Your first beasts will work on Xylanzi Mountain and nearby foothills; deeper expeditions require multiple contracted servants and careful planning.

Optional but Helpful: Borrow a mist net from a childhood friend or village connection. This net dramatically increases your capture rate for smaller flying creatures like sparrows and owls. It’s reusable and will pay for itself within your first few hunting trips.

Route Overview#

Your beast-hunting progression follows a natural scaling path. You begin by contracting a weasel immortal—a creature accidentally caught in your snare while hunting pheasants. This weasel becomes your first true asset: it can drive pheasants into traps with mental commands, multiplying your catch rate. Once you’ve secured steady pheasant income and contracted a second pheasant as a breeding animal, you shift focus to capturing a tree sparrow. The sparrow grants you aerial vision, allowing you to scout distant forests and identify rare creatures like flying dragons from miles away. With sparrow reconnaissance, you plan an expedition to the eastern mountains, approximately 5 kilometers beyond Xylanzi Mountain, where hazel grouses (flying dragons) nest. These birds are immensely valuable—one can buy ten hunting knives or a fine wristwatch. You contract a breeding pair and begin farming their eggs, creating a sustainable wealth engine. Only after securing multiple powerful servants and understanding the system’s mechanics do you consider deeper expeditions into Black Tiger Ravine or Bare Peak Ridge, where tigers, bears, and wolves demand careful preparation and ideally a gun.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough#

Catch Your First Beast: The Weasel Immortal#

Head into the mountains with simple snare-making tools—cord and a brush knife. Find a clearing or game trail where pheasants forage. Set multiple snares by creating loops of cord at ground level along the path, anchoring them securely to branches or pegs. The key is to blend the snare with the environment so birds don’t see it until too late. Scatter bait like sorghum around the traps and hide at a distance. Wait patiently; pheasants are clever and will test an area before committing. As dusk approaches, a weasel—not a pheasant—may step into one of your snares. This is your moment. Don’t panic. Approach slowly and speak calmly. The weasel will resist violently, but grab it firmly and attempt to form a contract. The system will display a contract success rate (likely 70% on your first attempt). Accept the contract. If successful, you’ve unlocked the Beast Servant System and gained your first divine beast: a lazy weasel with high agility but low strength.

Understand Your Weasel’s Abilities and Personality#

Your weasel immortal is lazy and prefers stealing from village chicken coops to hunting wild game. But it excels at one task: driving prey toward traps. Ask it to drive pheasants, and it’ll dart into the forest, flushing birds toward your snares with the precision of a trained hunting dog. Communicate with it telepathically—the system lets you speak to all contracted beasts and understand their responses. Learn its personality quirks. If it seems proud or stubborn, it’ll resist orders; if it’s gentle, it’ll obey without question. Your lazy weasel is content to work for food rewards and occasional praise. Feed it one of the pheasants you catch, and it’ll eagerly return to help you hunt again.

Master the Pheasant Drive Technique#

With your weasel in tow, return to the pheasant grounds on Xylanzi Mountain. Set five to ten snares in a loose arc across a clearing or along a forest edge. Space them so pheasants can’t see all of them at once. Hide yourself downwind from the traps—pheasants rely on scent and sound as much as sight. Command your weasel to begin the drive. It’ll charge into the underbrush, scattering birds in panic. Many will flee blindly toward your snares. Watch for the telltale snap of the loop tightening around a bird’s leg. Within an hour, you should catch three to five pheasants using this method. This is far faster than snares alone and teaches you the core mechanic: beast servants amplify your hunting power exponentially.

Contract Your First Pheasant for Breeding#

Once you’ve caught several pheasants, select one and attempt to form a contract. Pheasants are docile creatures and will accept contracts at high success rates (80%+) if they’re not too panicked. If the success rate is low, shake the bird until it’s dizzy—this sounds brutal, but it works. Each hit raises the success rate by 10-15%. When the rate reaches 85%+, form the contract. Your newly contracted pheasant will speak to you, usually with a mournful tone. Ask it about laying eggs. It’ll explain that it needs one day to recover from stress before it can produce eggs reliably. Plan accordingly: catch pheasants on day one, contract one on day two, and expect eggs starting on day three. Keep this pheasant in your family’s chicken coop. Its eggs will hatch into new pheasants, creating a breeding population that sustains your family’s food supply indefinitely.

Acquire a Mist Net and Hunt Sparrows#

Borrow a mist net from a trusted friend or village elder. This fine mesh catches small flying creatures without harming them. Head to a clearing where sparrows gather—usually near grain fields or scattered seeds. Raise the net in a location where birds commonly fly, then wait. Sparrows will occasionally crash into the net, tangling themselves. Gently extract each bird and attempt to contract it. Sparrows are gentle creatures and accept contracts at 90%+ success rates immediately. Once contracted, a sparrow becomes your aerial scout. It can fly high above the mountains and relay what it sees directly to your mind. This is the breakthrough moment: you now have eyes in the sky.

Use Sparrow Vision to Scout for Flying Dragons#

Select your contracted sparrow’s portrait in the Beast Servant System and activate shared vision. Your perspective shifts into the bird’s eyes. You see the world from high altitude, with a visual range of approximately half a mile. Scan the eastern mountains beyond Xylanzi for unusual creatures. Ask your sparrow if it knows where flying dragons live. It’ll confirm they exist on the eastern mountain and guide you toward them. Through the sparrow’s eyes, you’ll spot a hazel grouse—a bird with a long curved neck, mottled plumage, a long tail, and legs covered in feather-scales. You may also spot a nest containing nine eggs. This is your target. Note the location carefully. The distance is roughly 5 kilometers in a straight line from your current position.

Prepare for the Flying Dragon Expedition#

Gather your weasel servant, mist net, and snare-making supplies. Pack light but bring enough cord for multiple traps. Eat a hearty meal before departing—the journey will take more than two hours. Inform your family you’ll be back by afternoon. Head east from Xylanzi Mountain, following the sparrow’s directions. As you approach flying dragon territory, move quietly. These birds are alert and will flee if they sense danger. Use your sparrow’s aerial vision periodically to confirm your position and locate the exact trees where the hazel grouses forage.

Catch Your First Flying Dragon (Hazel Grouse)#

Upon reaching flying dragon territory, set up an ambush. Position your mist net in a clearing or along a flight path you’ve identified through sparrow vision. Command your weasel to drive the flying dragon toward the net. The hazel grouse will be startled and will attempt to escape by flying or running. Its pride makes it disdainful of the weasel’s attack, but it’ll eventually flee toward your trap. When it hits the net, rush forward and seize it. The bird will thrash violently. Shake it firmly until it’s dizzy—this is critical because flying dragons are proud creatures with low initial contract success rates (around 55%). Shaking it multiple times will raise the success rate to 85%+. Once dizzy, form the contract. Your flying dragon will speak with an arrogant, aloof tone—this is its personality. It’ll be proud of its capture and willing to serve you, even if it means seducing another creature’s mate to help you catch a second flying dragon.

Catch a Second Flying Dragon and Secure the Nest#

Ask your newly contracted flying dragon (call it Number One) to seduce the female hazel grouse in the area. Despite its reluctance to betray another male’s mate, it’ll obey. The female will be attracted to Number One’s glossy feathers and proud bearing and will follow it willingly toward your mist net. Command your weasel to pounce at the perfect moment, frightening the female into the net. Contract this second flying dragon using the same shaking-and-dizzy technique. You now have a breeding pair. The nine eggs in the nearby nest will hatch into additional flying dragons, giving you a total of eleven birds within weeks. This is your wealth generator: flying dragons are priceless delicacies and status symbols. Selling even one can buy ten hunting knives or a fine wristwatch. Keep two for breeding and sell the rest.

Return to Your Village Before Nightfall#

Don’t linger in the mountains after dusk. Wild animals become vicious at night, and poachers, tomb robbers, and fugitives hide in the darkness. Begin your descent as soon as you’ve secured both flying dragons and confirmed the nest location. The journey back will take roughly two hours. Arrive home before sunset. Your family will be relieved to see you safe, and you’ll have a story to tell about catching the rarest birds in the northeast.

Beast Servant Types & Locations#

Weasel Immortal (Xylanzi Mountain)#

The weasel is one of the five immortals of the northeast and your first contracted beast. It appears accidentally in your pheasant snares during early evening hunts. Personality varies—the one you catch is lazy, preferring village chicken coops to wild hunting. But it excels at driving prey into traps and responds to telepathic commands instantly. Usefulness: High for early-game pheasant farming. Weakness: can’t catch wild pheasants on its own; only drives them toward traps you’ve set. Feed it pheasant meat to keep it loyal and willing to work.

Pheasant (Xylanzi Mountain)#

Pheasants are your first renewable food source and breeding animals. Catch multiple pheasants using snares and weasel drives. Contract one as a breeding animal—it’ll lay eggs after one day of recovery. Pheasants are docile and contract easily (80%+ success rate). Personality: Timid and cautious. Usefulness: Food production, breeding stock, and trade goods. Keep at least two breeding pheasants in your coop.

Tree Sparrow (Xylanzi Mountain clearings)#

Sparrows are caught using a mist net in open areas where they gather. They’re gentle creatures and accept contracts at 90%+ success rates immediately. Once contracted, a sparrow grants you shared aerial vision—you see through its eyes and can scout distant mountains from high altitude. This is the breakthrough ability that unlocks access to rare beasts. Personality: Gentle and eager to please. Usefulness: Critical for scouting and navigation. Catch one sparrow as soon as you’ve got a mist net.

Oriental Scops Owl (Xylanzi Mountain, daytime)#

Owls are nocturnal creatures that occasionally appear in mist nets during the day, usually because they’re disoriented or hunting. They’re stubborn and prideful, with low initial contract success rates (25%). Shaking them until dizzy is essential. Owls are difficult to contract but may have uses in advanced hunting strategies. Personality: Stubborn, willful, and resistant. Usefulness: Unclear from early game—likely useful later for night hunting or scouting. Prioritize sparrows over owls initially.

Hazel Grouse / Flying Dragon (Eastern Mountains, 5 km from Xylanzi)#

Flying dragons are the rarest and most valuable beasts available in the early game. They’re hazel grouses with distinctive mottled plumage, long tails, and feathered legs. Located in forests east of Xylanzi Mountain, they nest in pairs and lay eggs in clutches of nine. Flying dragons are proud creatures with low initial contract success rates (55%), but shaking them until dizzy raises this to 85%+. One flying dragon can be sold for ten hunting knives or a fine wristwatch—enormous wealth. Personality: Proud, arrogant, and aloof. Usefulness: Extreme. Keep two for breeding; sell all others. This is your path to prosperity.

Contract Success Rates & Mechanics#

How Success Rates Work#

Every beast has a base contract success rate determined by its personality and current condition. Gentle creatures like sparrows start at 90%+. Proud creatures like flying dragons start at 55%. Stubborn creatures like owls start at 25%. These rates aren’t fixed—they change based on the beast’s stamina and injuries.

Raising Success Rates Through Exhaustion#

If a beast is struggling violently, shake it, hit it, or otherwise exhaust it until it’s dizzy or limp. Each hit raises the success rate by 10-15%. Slap a pheasant on the head multiple times and watch its success rate climb from 65% to 75% to 90%. This is counterintuitive but effective: a weakened, dizzy beast is more likely to accept servitude than a fresh, energetic one. This mechanic mirrors Pokémon-style capture systems where lowering an opponent’s HP increases catch chance.

Failed Contracts and Cooldown#

If a contract fails, a 24-hour cooldown begins. You can’t attempt to contract that same beast again until the cooldown expires. This is why raising success rates before attempting the contract is critical. Don’t gamble on a low success rate. Spend two minutes shaking a beast until its success rate reaches 85%+, then form the contract. The time investment is minimal compared to waiting 24 hours for another attempt.

Troubleshooting & Common Mistakes#

• Pheasants won’t enter your snares: You’ve set too many snares in one area, or you’ve left human scent on the traps. Reset the snares, avoid touching them with bare hands, and scatter bait (sorghum) around them. Use your weasel to drive pheasants toward the traps instead of relying on passive snaring.
• Contract failed and now I have a 24-hour cooldown: You attempted the contract with a success rate below 70%. Next time, shake the beast until it’s dizzy (success rate 85%+) before forming the contract. The extra 30 seconds of preparation prevents the entire 24-hour wait.
• My weasel won’t obey commands: Make sure you’ve successfully formed a contract with it. If contracted, it’ll obey telepathic commands instantly. If it seems reluctant, feed it a pheasant as a reward. Beasts respond to both commands and incentives.
• I can’t find flying dragons: You need a contracted sparrow to scout. Without aerial vision, you’re searching blindly. Catch a sparrow first, use its vision to locate flying dragon territory, then plan your expedition. The sparrow’s range is approximately half a mile, so you can scout large areas quickly.
• Flying dragons keep fleeing before I can net them: Your weasel’s drive isn’t strong enough, or you’re positioned too close. Hide farther away and let your weasel work. Use your sparrow’s aerial vision to confirm the flying dragon’s location and anticipate its escape route. Position your mist net along that path.
• I’m getting lost in the mountains: Use your sparrow’s shared vision to navigate. The bird can see landmarks from high altitude and guide you toward your target. Without this ability, stick to Xylanzi Mountain until you’ve caught a sparrow.
• A beast is resisting contract formation even though I shook it: Some beasts have personality traits that make them especially stubborn. The owl is an example—it may resist even at high success rates because of its willful nature. Keep shaking until the success rate reaches 90%+, or wait 24 hours and try again with a different approach (e.g., injuring it more severely).
• I’m running out of time before nightfall: Plan your expeditions carefully. Flying dragon hunts take 3-4 hours round trip. Depart in early morning and aim to return by late afternoon. Never hunt in the mountains after dark—predators become vicious, and you risk your life.

Farming Loop & Route Efficiency#

The Pheasant Farming Loop#

Once you’ve contracted your first weasel and one breeding pheasant, you can establish a daily pheasant farming routine. Head to Xylanzi Mountain in the morning with your weasel and mist net. Set five to ten snares in a known pheasant area. Command your weasel to drive pheasants toward the traps. Within one hour, you should catch three to five pheasants. Return home by midday. Expected yield: 3-5 pheasants per hour of active hunting. Your breeding pheasant lays one egg per day, creating a sustainable population. Keep two breeding pheasants minimum; sell or eat the rest.

The Flying Dragon Farming Loop#

Once you’ve caught a breeding pair of flying dragons and secured their nest of nine eggs, you enter the most profitable phase. The eggs will hatch into chicks over time. Keep two adult flying dragons for breeding; sell all others. One flying dragon sells for ten hunting knives or a fine wristwatch. Expected yield: One flying dragon per week once the breeding cycle stabilizes. This is your path to wealth. Within a month, you’ll have enough capital to buy a proper hunting knife, better gear, and eventually a gun.

Optimization Tips#

Always scout with your sparrow before traveling to a new hunting ground. This saves time and prevents you from walking into dangerous territory unprepared. Set snares in the evening and check them the next morning—pheasants are more active at dawn. Use your weasel’s ability to drive prey; passive snaring alone is inefficient. Keep your breeding beasts separate from your hunting stock. Contracted breeding animals should live in your home coop, protected and fed regularly. Only hunt wild pheasants and other creatures for trade or consumption.

Advanced Tips & Time Saves#

Shared Vision Stacking: Once you’ve contracted multiple beasts, you can switch between their shared visions rapidly. Use your sparrow to scout from the sky, then switch to your weasel’s ground-level view to confirm the exact location of prey. This dual-perspective approach is faster than walking to verify locations yourself.

Personality-Based Recruitment: Gentle creatures accept contracts easily; proud and stubborn creatures require preparation. Prioritize contracting gentle beasts first (sparrows, docile pheasants) to build your team quickly. Save stubborn beasts (owls, flying dragons) for later when you’re confident in the shaking-and-dizzy technique.

Feeding as Incentive: Beasts respond to food rewards. Feed your weasel a pheasant after a successful hunt, and it’ll work harder next time. This isn’t strictly necessary—contracted beasts obey commands—but it builds loyalty and may unlock special abilities or increased effectiveness.

Risky Strategy—Deep Mountain Exploration: Once you’ve got multiple beast servants (weasel, sparrow, pheasant, flying dragon), you might be tempted to venture into Black Tiger Ravine or Bare Peak Ridge to hunt bears, tigers, and wolves. Don’t do this without a gun. These creatures are vastly more dangerous than pheasants and flying dragons. A tiger can swallow you without filling the gaps between its teeth. Wait until you’ve saved enough money from flying dragon sales to buy a gun and hire experienced hunters to guide you. Your current beasts aren’t equipped for this level of danger.

FAQ#

How do I unlock the Beast Servant System in Beast of Reincarnation?#

The Beast Servant System unlocks automatically when you catch your first weasel immortal in a snare while hunting pheasants on Xylanzi Mountain. The system appears as a panel with the message “Congratulations, host. You have activated the beast servant system.” From that moment forward, you can form contracts with any wild animal you capture. The system lets you understand animal speech, share their senses, and command them telepathically.

Where do I find flying dragons in Beast of Reincarnation?#

Flying dragons (hazel grouses) are located in forests approximately 5 kilometers east of Xylanzi Mountain, beyond the foothills. You can’t find them without a contracted sparrow to scout from the air. Use your sparrow’s shared vision to scan the eastern mountains. When you spot a hazel grouse with distinctive mottled plumage, a long tail, and feathered legs, you’ve found a flying dragon. There are typically two to three flying dragons in the area, plus a nest of nine eggs.

What’s the best order to contract divine beasts?#

Contract beasts in this order: weasel (unlocks the system and enables pheasant farming), pheasant (breeding stock for food), sparrow (grants aerial scouting), flying dragon (wealth generator). This progression maximizes your early-game income and unlocks access to distant hunting grounds. Other beasts like owls are optional and less immediately useful.

How do I raise my contract success rate before forming a contract?#

Shake, hit, or otherwise exhaust the beast until it’s dizzy or limp. Each hit raises the success rate by 10-15%. A beast that’s dizzy and barely conscious will accept a contract at 85%+ success rate, compared to a fresh, energetic beast at 55%. Spend two minutes exhausting a beast before attempting the contract—this prevents failed contracts and 24-hour cooldowns.

Can I breed divine beasts to create more of them?#

Yes, but only with beasts that have been contracted and instructed to breed. Contract a male and female flying dragon, keep them in your home coop, and they’ll lay eggs. The eggs hatch into chicks that grow into adults. You can also ask a male flying dragon to seduce a female and help you catch her, creating a breeding pair. This is how you generate wealth—keep two flying dragons for breeding and sell all others.

What happens if I fail a contract attempt?#

A 24-hour cooldown begins, and you can’t attempt to contract that same beast again until the cooldown expires. This is why raising success rates before attempting the contract is critical. Always shake a beast until its success rate reaches 85%+ before forming the contract. The time investment is minimal compared to waiting 24 hours for another attempt.
