This guide covers everything you need to know about the two new covenants in Arcane Lineage: The Church of Rapon and The Cult of Thasus. It includes locations, progression, skills, and tips to rank up quickly.
Arcane Lineage Covenants – Cult of Thasus & Church of Rapon
Church of Rapon Guide
To find the Church of Rapon, start at the Golem at Caldera and head to the far corner of the map. There, you will find an NPC who will ask for one Mushroom Cap, one Sand Core, and one Rock Core. Once you provide these items, the NPC will open a gate that leads to the Church. Enter through the portal, go straight, and talk to a bald NPC at the entrance. Choose the first dialogue option twice to gain access.
At Rank 1, you receive the skill Blessed, which removes debuffs like burning, poison, weakened, vulnerable, and blinded from a target while healing them for 2% HP per debuff removed. Using Blessed frequently will increase your rank.
At Rank 5, you gain Supporting Light, which grants 2% HP recovery and a 5% damage reduction boost for two turns after buffing a target.
At Rank 10, you unlock Holy Light, which creates an explosion that showers allies with healing particles, granting one resist, a 5% damage reduction buff, and a 5% HP regeneration buff for four turns.
At Rank 15, you get Spreading Grace, which allows meditation to give another party member +1 energy, and if you are hit during meditation, a healing burst restores 3% HP to the team.
At Rank 20, you gain the ability to fight Sopone, and after winning the battle, you can return to the NPC to unlock the Shia race.
Cult of Thasus Guide
To locate the Cult of Thasus, start at the Deep Forest entrance in Caldera. Move forward, make a right, and find a hidden path leading into a dark area. Enter and proceed carefully, avoiding falls that may cause instant death or major HP loss. Keep going until you reach a mirror, then interact with it and choose the third option followed by the first option. This grants you a passive called Prey. Use Prey to receive a phrase, then repeat the phrase to initiate a fight against the Shia Elementalist, who has 250 HP and uses Elementalist abilities. Once defeated, the mirror allows you to enter.
At Rank 1, you receive Soul Absorb, a weak attack that instantly kills enemies below 5% HP, grants Covenant progress, and heals you for 10% HP.
At Rank 5, you unlock Internal Corruption, which grants +2 energy when killing a monster, and if a summoned creature kills a monster, you gain +1 energy.
At Rank 10, you obtain Death Curtain, a two-energy attack that releases a hail of projectiles, dealing 4 × 3.5 hex damage with small lifesteal. If this attack kills an enemy, you recover 5% HP and gain +1 energy.
At Rank 15, you acquire Dark Inversion, which reduces damage from Dark and Hex element attacks by 20%, but if you take damage exceeding 20% of your max HP, you gain +1 energy. However, Holy and Nature attacks deal 15% more damage to you.
At Rank 20, you unlock the ability to fight Araya, and after defeating them, you can speak to the NPC again to unlock the Inferion race.
