Beast of Reincarnation Chapter 1 Walkthrough: Seedling Checkpoints
A spoiler-aware Chapter 1 Seedling route with independently supported objectives, named checkpoints, and explicit route limits.
Quick answer
For Chapter 1, Seedling, use the on-screen objective to move through the Oguchi (spelled “Oguochi” by Neoseeker) Buffer Zone, reach the Foreman in the Subcity, complete the first Nushi encounter, prepare at the Walker, and then follow the renewed objective toward the Nushi's lair. GameFAQs and Neoseeker independently establish that broad sequence, but not an official zone spelling. This is not a map, collectible checklist, or claim that any Chapter 1 choice is safely reversible.

Corroborated claims
GameFAQs and Neoseeker both identify Chapter 1 as Seedling in the Oguchi/Oguochi Buffer Zone, while using different spellings.
Limit: Neither source is an official canonical zone-name list.
GameFAQs and Neoseeker both place the Foreman and the Prowling Nushi in the early Chapter 1 route sequence.
Limit: This is not a copied map, collectible route, or irreversible-state claim.
Neoseeker and Into Indie Games both describe a later Chapter 1 objective that leads toward the Nushi's lair.

Limit: Use the current in-game objective text if it differs after an update.
Spoiler boundary
This page covers Chapter 1, Seedling, and names only its near-term objective checkpoints. GameFAQs uses Oguchi; Neoseeker uses Oguochi. This page calls it the Oguchi (spelled “Oguochi” by Neoseeker) Buffer Zone as a reading convention, not an official canonical name. Stop at the heading that matches your current objective if you want to preserve later Chapter 1 scenes.
Objective sequence
- Orient in the Oguchi (spelled “Oguochi” by Neoseeker) Buffer Zone. Follow the objective and use the nearest discovered campsite as your recovery/retry landmark. The route is intentionally not reproduced turn by turn.
- Reach the Foreman in the Subcity. GameFAQs reports the Foreman after the Subcity combat sequence; Neoseeker’s Chapter 1 structure independently includes
The Foreman in the Subcityas a named checkpoint. - Follow the first Nushi objective. Both walkthrough structures place
The Prowling Nushibefore the Chapter 1 preparation and lair segments. For encounter cues rather than a complete strategy, use the Rangifer guide. - Prepare at the Walker, then resume the pursuit. Neoseeker separately lists
Make Preparations for Tomorrow,Toward the Nushi's Lair, andPath to the Sealed Lair. Into Indie Games also describes the later Chapter 1 objective as tracking the Nushi to its lair. - Use the current objective at the lair boundary. Read the game prompt before entering; this page does not reveal the outcome or convert a third-party route into a copied map.
Checkpoint and response notes
The goal of this route is orientation, not completionist collection. If a fight blocks progress, the official Xbox Wire starter tips provide general early-game context for Emma/Koo combat and Koo commands. They do not establish a Chapter 1 route, boss timing, or required build.
If the named checkpoint or objective text differs, stop following this page and use the current in-game marker. That is safer than forcing an update-sensitive walkthrough sequence.
Irreversible-state warning
No reviewed pair of independent sources specifically confirms an irreversible Chapter 1 choice, collectible, or cutoff. Accordingly, this page does not say that nothing is missable, that dialogue is consequence-free, or that a transition is safe. Follow any current in-game warning before confirming an action, and do not rely on this article for save-management advice.
Deliberately excluded
This guide does not reproduce maps, turn-by-turn directions, collectible locations, chest codes, keys, gear routes, or story outcomes. Those either need their own evidence gate or would merely duplicate competing walkthrough material.
