Talk (0)

The Ouroboros Gems Collection is the third menu unlocked after Ouroborus and the first time opening it will guide you through the initial purchases. There are 7 gems in total and each has specific requirements for each level requiring previous gem level unlocks to get the next. Each level unlocks a new feature as well as a new gem upgrade. Gem upgrades and feature unlocks are generally pretty strong and it is worth trying to unlock at least 1 gem level and 1 level of it's associated upgrade each traversal.

The gems are as follows

Exodus - Currently has 3 levels and 3 upgrades affecting Cells, Shards, and Research Points
Temporal - Currently has 2 levels and 2 upgrades both affecting MP one based on ticks in this Traversal and the other based on Loop Mods Owned
Innovation - Currently has 1 level and 1 upgrade which provides +2 Studies per Study done each level
Attraction - Currently has 3 levels and 3 upgrades, two are related to Loot one for Borge the other for Ozzy the third is a buff for stage 1-99 hunts.
Creation - Currently has 1 level and 1 upgrade which provides mech cap bonuses
Evolution - Currently unattainable but has 1 level and 1 upgrade for All Generators Output
Power - Currently unattainable but has 1 level and 1 upgrade for Cradle installs

Gem unlocks are always forced if you have the required amount of Ouroboros Orbs (up until Attraction 3 may be earlier) to unlock one so pay close attention to how much you will have after Traversal and what the next gems cost is to unlock. The order of unlock and costs currently are:

Exodus 1 - 5 Orbs

Innovation 1 - 12 Orbs
Temporal 2 - 18 Orbs
