EGO gifts are one of the main gameplay spins presented by the dungeons inLimbus Company. They provide per-run bonuses that you’d expect in a roguelike game mode, and stacking the right combinations together allows you to do feats not possible in most story encounters. Gifts can provide benefits that empower specific IDs, status effects or even story factions.
Finding any specific gift among the over three hundred possible options is a challenge, but understanding the fusion system of the shops can improve your chances of gaining a specific boost or obtaining exclusive items only available by fusing weaker gifts. Here’s how the system works in Season Five.
How EGO Fusion Works
You’ll always encounter ashop at the end of each dungeon floor, giving you a chance to buy gifts and fuse your existing gifts into stronger ones. There are two types of fusion:
For standard fusions, you’ll typically want to use the minimum cost for the tier of the item you’re looking for.
3
6
10-16
10
17-25
15
Over 25
These margins allow you tomix ingredients across tiers for cheaper fusions:
You typically want toonly use fusions that contain three itemsas this gives the best chance of producing your desired keyword.
You also want to obtain gifts from events whenever possible to fuel the fusion process. Events that don’t match your available affinities can still give you multiple gifts if you instead choose to fight the abnormality, and high-tier gifts you can’t use are always valuable for fusion.
How To Obtain Fusion-Only Gifts
A large assortment ofitems are only available from EGO fusion. These are typically much stronger than their constituent items anddon’t need to be upgradedto reach their full potency, making them potentially cheaper if you can reliably find the ingredients.
The main septet of fusion gifts are aligned with the seven status effects and providepowerful bonuses to coin power and final power in exchange for running only identities that inflict the status.
These seven gifts all have three ingredients, butsome ingredients are exclusive to fusion.
Secret cookbook requires melted paraffin and decamillenial stewpot.
Rusted Mantle, Smoke and Wires, Devotion
Devotion requires Arrested Hymn and Millarca.
Lucky Pouch
Ornamental Horseshoe, Four-leaf Clover, Reminiscence
Reminiscence requires Recollection of a Certain Day and Pendant of Nostalgia.
Wrist Guard, T-1B Octagonal Bolt, Material Interference Force Field
None
For some status teams,it can sometimes be better to prioritise a generic tier four giftrather than the fusion exclusive ones.
Non-fusion gifts have the advantage of not needing five team members with the same status, making themsuitable to challenge runs using only a single sinner.
The story-based fusion gifts are typically much more intuitive to create, requiringtwo specific gifts from a floor packthat are visibly parts of a whole.
The story-based fusions also typically have narrower use cases. The N-Corp fusion improves all bleed teams but only applies its full effect when five sinners are using N-Corp identities. The Blade Lineage fusions only work when half your team are members of the Lineage.
The stores do allow you tochange your equipped identitiesto pivot for a specific fusion you’ve gained at a minor cost.
How To Fuse Lunar Memory
There’sonly one tier five fusion recipein the game, and it is worthy of the title. Lunar Memory turns all damage resistances for enemies to fatal, multiplying all of your damage without any conditions or drawbacks.
Lunar memory can appear without using fusion, but it is rare enough that many players won’t encounter it, even if choosing floors that have an increased drop rate for it. It can only be fused in the super shop due to needing five ingredients.
The super store has a chance of appearing on every floor. Its appearance rateincreases whenever youspend moneyin a store. It has a larger stock of gifts, two skill replacements, and can fuse five ingredients instead of three.
To make it,you need five different tier four items,many of which you’ll need to fuse first. The first three ingredients are thetier four ‘memory’ giftsfor the physical damage types.
The most reliable way of gaining them is byfusing them in the super store.Using four ingredients instead of three increases the success rate from 90 percent to 99 percent.Since you’ll be making a bunch of consecutive fusions, that one in ten failure chance is liable to occur at least once otherwise.
The remaining ingredients for Lunar Memory are the Sin Fragments, a set of seven tier four items tied to the different sin affinities and status types.Any two of these gems will workas long as the three memories are present. Like the memories, these willrarely appear in stores,but to gather enough, you’ll likely need to fuse them yourself.
All of these tier four fusions have a risk due to there being other tier four gifts that you may obtain instead of the Lunar Memory ingredients. Attempting to fuse the Fragment of Hellfire has a chance of giving the Glimpse of Flames. When this happens, you canrecycle the unneeded tier four item as an ingredient.
The two last things you can do to improve your chance of obtaining Lunar Memory is to choose the right Grace bonuses when entering the dungeon andto toggle hard mode to increase the number of rewards you get.
In testing, this combination allowed the ingredients to be prepared by the fourth shop with enough money leftover to guarantee a super store if it hasn’t appeared on floor four. It can be done earlier bytaking advantage of seasonal floors that offer high-level gifts.
