How to Get Nen in Beyond Nen: Hunter Exam and Node Guide

Unlocking Nen is the primary progression milestone in the Roblox title [RELEASE!] Beyond Nen. Players have two distinct paths to awakening their power: successfully passing the multi-stage Hunter Exam or locating seven hidden Nen Masters to unlock their Aura Nodes. While the Hunter Exam is the most direct method for players who have reached Level 10, the Node method provides a high-exploration alternative that relies on a small percentage chance of awakening during combat.

Method 1: Passing the Hunter Exam

The most common way to get Nen is by becoming an official Hunter. This process is gated by character level and requires surviving a series of competitive challenges against other players.

Prerequisites and Joining

Before you can attempt the exam, your character must reach at least Level 10. Once you meet this requirement, you can join the exam from the game's main menu. The "Join Hunter Exam" button is located directly below the ‘Play’ and ‘Customize’ options.

Exam sessions have specific requirements:

• Player Count: A minimum of 6 players is required to start, with a maximum capacity of 24.
• Timers: If the button displays a timer, you must wait for the current cooldown to expire before the next exam cycle begins.

The Four Stages of the Exam

The Hunter Exam consists of four consecutive stages. Failing any stage results in immediate disqualification, requiring you to wait for the next available exam to try again.

1. Stage 1: The Tunnel Run: This is a test of pure stamina. You have 10 minutes to reach the end of a long tunnel. If you run out of time before reaching the exit, you fail.
2. Stage 2: The Trap Maze: Players must navigate a complex maze to find a purple gate within 10 minutes. The maze is filled with hazardous traps, including falling spikes and tripwires. Activating tripwires causes additional traps to spawn. If your health reaches zero from trap damage or you fail to find the gate in time, you are eliminated.
3. Stage 3: Badge Collection: This is a PvP (Player vs. Player) survival stage. You must defeat another player to steal their badge. Once you possess a badge, you must defend it for the remainder of the 10-minute round. You must have a stolen badge in your inventory when the timer hits zero to advance.
4. Stage 4: The 1v1 Arena: The final stage is a randomized tournament. Players are called into an arena for a 1v1 duel. Winning this fight grants you immediate passage and concludes the exam.

Hunter License Rewards

After winning the final duel, you must claim your Hunter License from the Hunter Exams Milestone menu. Becoming a Hunter provides several permanent buffs:

• Nen Awakening: You immediately gain the ability to use Nen.
• Level Cap Increase: Your maximum level cap is raised from Level 50 to Level 80.
• Aura Nodes: You automatically unlock all Aura Nodes.
• Exclusive Content: You gain access to Bounties that are only available to licensed Hunters.

Method 2: Unlocking Nen Nodes

If you prefer exploration over the structured challenges of the Hunter Exam, you can unlock Nen through the Nen Masters system. This method does not require the Level 10 prerequisite but involves significant travel and a low success rate.

Finding the 7 Node Masters

There are seven different Nen Masters hidden throughout the world. These NPCs do not stay in one place; they spawn in random locations across the map every 30 minutes. Because their spawns are randomized, there is no guarantee which specific Master will appear during a spawn window.

To begin this path, you must track down and speak with all seven unique Node Masters.

The Awakening Process

Once you have successfully interacted with all seven Masters, you must locate an NPC named Rohan. After speaking with Rohan, your "Nodes" are considered primed.

However, this does not grant Nen immediately. Instead, it grants a 3% chance to unlock your Nen every time you are attacked by a player who is already a Nen user. This "baptism" by combat is the final step in the Node-based awakening process.

Summary of Nen Benefits

Whether you choose the exam or the nodes, unlocking Nen is essential for high-level play in [RELEASE!] Beyond Nen. According to community guides, having Nen is the prerequisite for using advanced abilities and weapons that define the late-game experience.

For players looking to maximize their character's power quickly, the Hunter Exam is recommended due to the significant level cap increase and the guaranteed nature of the reward upon winning the 1v1 battle.
