Shape of Dreams Guide | How to Unlock Nachia's Abilities

Each ability in Shape of Dreams requires you to complete a specific, challenging task during your runs.

Unlocking Full Moon

To unlock Full Moon, you must enter The Pure White Dream two separate times while playing as Nachia. This is a straightforward task. You need to kill the final boss and activate the pure white light to complete the run.

You simply need to do this twice. If you are having difficulty, you can attempt this on a lower difficulty setting.

Unlocking Family Feud

The task for Family Feud is to defeat the Demon of the Forest within six seconds after you deal the first damage to it. This is easier to accomplish in your second loop than in your first.

After you kill the Beetle in the fourth stage, choose to continue looping. Then make your way back to the forest boss.

The countdown begins when you first take damage, not when the combat starts. When you play with friends, this timer doesn't start when they hurt you; it only begins when your own minions or abilities hit the boss.

To do this, make sure you go into the encounter with no current summons active and all of your summon charges available. In the beginning, don't use any spells. Begin the fight by circling to avoid the boss's lunge attacks. 

The boss will eventually use a stationary attack, such as blasting a bunch of orbs in a circle or having branches come up from the ground. Use this time to spam all of your summons and abilities to easily kill the monster while it is standing motionless.

Unlocking Reincarnation

To unlock Reincarnation, you must defeat the Guardian of Impermanence without taking any damage. This boss is found in the Whispering Lotus Plateau, the Japanese-inspired map in the third world rotation alongside Fragment of the Starry Sky.

It is important to know that any hit counts as a failure, even if you have a barrier that prevents HP loss. If you are hit at any point, you should quit to the main menu and restart the fight immediately. It is recommended to attempt this on the easiest difficulty.

Ensure you do not activate multiple pillars before the fight, as this will cause two bosses to spawn. When the fight begins, you will face White Night. Learn his attack patterns. He will either shoot a laser beam or attack with his sword. The sword attack is well-telegraphed. If he charges the laser, dodge towards his back and then create distance to attack.

Damaging him will trigger a second phase. This phase often involves well-telegraphed sword slashes from phantom samurai. More frequently, he will charge an earthquake attack. To avoid damage, you must run into the protective bubbles that appear on the arena.

 Do not panic; start walking in a consistent direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). Bubbles often spawn in front of you as you move. Walk or dash into a bubble. You will need to repeat this for each of the four attack waves.

After this phase, you can damage the boss again. Once you reduce his health by approximately another third, he will become more aggressive. Maintain your distance, be patient, and avoid his attacks to complete the task.
