Beyond Nen Beginner Guide

This is a practical first hour, not an official route. The order comes from the level gates on the questboard card and from the spin menu. The game starts on Whale Island. It is free to launch on PC, console, and mobile.

First hour, in order

  1. Join the group and launch. Codes will not redeem until you are in the Beyond Nen group. The button on the home page opens the Roblox game page.
  2. Learn the five buttons you will hit constantly. The control card says Q dash, double-tap W to run, F to block, M1 to attack, and M to open the menu. The rest of the card is in the table below.
  3. Open Customize and look at four rolls. Race, Lineage, Affinity, and Ability. Spins come from purchase, codes, and progression. Read the tier list before you spend a rare roll. I do not tell you to reroll Human on sight: the community letters are early-access notes.
  4. Redeem codes. Use the working list and the two menus. Spins are the reward you will feel in the first hour.
  5. Clear Port Town, levels 1–10. The questboard card lists Port Town at 1–10, Phantom Raiders Hideaway at 10–15, Farmers Settlement at 15–25, Whale Island Mines at 25–60, Blicks Castle at 30–42, and Beach at 40–55. That is why Port Town is the first board, not a guess about which quest is fun.
  6. Spend the two stat points you get each level. The cap is level 100. Strength is fist damage, Durability is health and defense, Nen is reserves and Nen damage, Weapon is weapon damage, Stamina is stamina and speed.
  7. Light a campfire when you see one. The card says an activated campfire becomes your respawn and can be used as a teleport.
  8. Stop at the Hunter Exam entrance. Do not rush it in minute twenty. The exam skips Node Masters later, which is how to get Nen. The launch you are playing is the 7 Nov release, covered on the release page.

Places the quest card names

Whale Island is the start. Port Town is the level 1–10 board. The later boards are the ones in the numbered list above. A pickaxe is sold by the General Merchant. Two public cards disagree on the price (500 Jenni versus 485 Yen), so this page leaves the price blank.

There is no official trailer on the Roblox page. Raf_Dev’s beginner video is a third-party walkthrough from 6 Nov 2026, before the public title flipped to [RELEASE!]. I still embed it because the control and spin explanations match the Trello cards, and I say so in the caption.
