Meditation is one of the important systems in Beyond Nen because you need enough Meditation EXP to unlock different Nen techniques. However, simply placing your meditation mat anywhere and waiting for EXP is not the fastest way to progress. There is a better location that gives you an additional EXP bonus. This guide explains how to get a Meditation Mat, where to meditate for faster progression, and how to unlock techniques such as Ten, Zetsu, Ren, Gyo, and other Nen abilities.
How to Get a Meditation Mat in Beyond Nen
Before you can start training your Meditation EXP, you need to own a Meditation Mat. This item is required to begin meditating and is also important for progressing through the Nen quests. If you already have one from your earlier progression, you can skip this step and move straight to the training process.
If you do not have a Meditation Mat yet, visit the Beginner Village or another village that has a Merchant. Talk to the Merchant and purchase the Meditation Mat from the available items. Once you have it, you can place it on the ground and use it to start meditating.
How to Level Up Meditation Fast in Beyond Nen
After getting your Meditation Mat, place it on the ground and begin meditating. Your Meditation EXP will gradually increase while you are using the mat, even if you do not manually click the EXP button. You can also click the available option to gain EXP manually, but there is a much better method if you want to level up faster.
The most important thing is choosing the correct location. Instead of meditating in a random area, you should travel to the Nen Cave. This location provides a 25% Meditation EXP bonus, allowing you to progress faster than meditating outside. Follow these steps:
- Open your map and find the Nen Cave.
- Travel to the Nen Cave using fast travel if available.
- Enter the cave and find a suitable spot.
- Place your Meditation Mat on the ground.
- Start meditating and let your Meditation EXP increase.
With the additional 25% EXP bonus, you can earn more Meditation EXP over time. This makes the Nen Cave the recommended location for anyone who wants to unlock Nen techniques without spending too much time training.
Take the Meditation Habit Card for More EXP
There is another way to increase your Meditation EXP gain. When choosing cards at certain level milestones, look for a card called Meditation Habit. This card provides a 5% boost to Meditation EXP, making it useful for players who want to improve their training speed.
If you get the Meditation Habit card when reaching the available level 10 card selection, it is recommended to take it. You can replace it later as you progress further, so using it early is a good way to improve your meditation speed.
Combining this card with the 25% EXP bonus from the Nen Cave will make your meditation training more efficient.
How to Train Ten, Ren, and Other Nen Techniques
One feature that some players might overlook is the ability to choose which Nen technique they want to train. You do not have to focus on Meditation EXP all the time because the training menu also allows you to work on specific Nen abilities.
While using your Meditation Mat, open the available training selection. You should see different options, including Ten and Ren. Select the technique you want to improve, then press Done to confirm your choice.
For example:
- Ten: Select Ten if you want to increase its tier and unlock further requirements.
- Ren: Choose Ren to continue progressing through its mastery levels.
- Zetsu: Select Zetsu when you need to improve its tier for other Nen technique requirements.
You can repeat this process whenever you need to train another ability. Make sure to check your skill tree regularly so you know which technique needs more EXP or mastery.
How to Unlock All Nen Techniques in Beyond Nen
Once you have collected enough Meditation EXP and trained the required abilities, you can start unlocking Nen techniques through the skill tree. Open your skill tree and navigate to the Nen Techniques section. Here, you can see the available abilities and their requirements.
Some techniques require a specific tier of another Nen ability before you can unlock them. For example, if a technique requires Ten Tier 2, you must open the Ten progression and unlock the required mastery first.
The general process is:
- Open your skill tree.
- Select the Nen Techniques section.
- Check the requirements for the technique you want.
- Train the required Nen ability using your Meditation Mat.
- Return to the skill tree once you have enough EXP.
- Unlock the required mastery or tier.
- Repeat the process for other techniques.
If you need Zetsu Tier 2 or another higher tier, return to your meditation spot and select Zetsu from the training menu. Continue training until you meet the requirement, then go back to the skill tree to unlock the next mastery.
This process is repeated for different Nen techniques, so make sure you have enough Meditation EXP before attempting to unlock the next ability.
How to Use Your Unlocked Nen Techniques
After unlocking a Nen technique, you can start testing it in the game. Press E to access the available Nen abilities and select the technique you want to use. Some techniques also provide visual changes or stat bonuses, depending on the ability.
For example, Wa can provide bonuses such as 3% additional Strength and 3% Weapon damage. Other techniques may have different effects, so it is worth checking each unlocked ability to understand what it does.
Keep in mind that not every technique will have a noticeable visual effect when activated. Some abilities may only change your character’s appearance slightly, while others focus more on improving your stats or combat performance.
The fastest way to level up Meditation in Beyond Nen is to use your Meditation Mat inside the Nen Cave. This location provides a 25% Meditation EXP bonus, and you can improve your progress even further by choosing the Meditation Habit card for its additional 5% EXP boost.
Remember to use the training selection to improve Ten, Ren, Zetsu, and other required abilities. Once you have enough EXP and the necessary mastery tiers, open your skill tree and unlock the Nen techniques you want. Repeat the same process whenever you need higher tiers, and you will gradually gain access to more Nen abilities.
