Absolvement Unlock the Nespin Race

Nespin is Absolvement’s bat-inspired unlock Race—mobility-focused, not available in the default character creation list until you finish the Ancient Ritual quest. This walkthrough covers the statue, the farm, and whether you should unlock Nespin yet during Roblox alpha / early access.

Should you unlock Nespin now?

Unlock when:

• You can clear Blood / Sanguine Citadel packs without burning three lives randomly
• Your Soul Tree already covers basic survivability
• You want dash-oriented movement and can accept shorter i-frame tradeoffs

Wait if:

• You still panic on basic parries (Combat & Parry)
• You are on Pseudoprophecy or other cruel Sins
• You picked Harmonite / Calvar and are already drowning in downsides (Races)

Nespin does not replace fundamentals. It rewards players who already farm cleanly.

Step 1 — Find the bat statue near the Soul Tree

In the main hub, head to the area with the Soul Tree. Look for the bat / Nespin statue near that landmark (players often describe it above or behind the Tree toward the large gate / cave path). Interact and start Ancient Ritual with the first dialogue option.

If you get lost, reorient with map habits from Controls and treat the hub as part of your session warm-up from Getting Started.

Step 2 — Farm 20 Bloody Masses

Enter dungeon runs and target the Blood Citadel / Sanguine Citadel (Blood Dungeon) variant. Enemies there can drop Bloody Masses; Blood Mages (blood-themed kits, often red-coat fantasy) are the efficient farm.

Farm tips:

• Use a Theft-friendly Sin so lives last (Sins, Sin Advisor)
• Keep Affixes light until the twenty count is done
• Party up to five if you want faster clears—but agree on extract rules (Party & Co-op)
• Follow Dungeon Farming life budgets; do not die for the nineteenth Mass behind an unread elite room

Bloody Masses also have healing utility in some contexts (commonly cited around a sizable HP restore). Prefer banking quest progress over emergency panic consumes when you are close to twenty.

Step 3 — Turn in at the statue

Return to the Nespin statue, select the completion dialogue, and unlock the Race for future character slots. Important: unlocking does not automatically convert your current character into Nespin—you create or use another slot to play the Race.

What Nespin actually does (playstyle notes)

Expect movement-centric identity: double-jump style traversal out of / in combat with different cadence, dash behavior that can overwrite rolls, and a screech-style active that helps highlight nearby enemies while dealing a small hit of physical damage. Tradeoffs typically include shorter dash i-frames, dash cancel limitations, and extra damage taken under certain conditions (including pressure near multiple enemies and weakness themes such as Water / Disease in community writeups). Always re-check in-game tooltips after patches (Alpha Patch Notes).

Build ideas after unlock

• Pair with Skills that benefit from repositioning (Builds, Skills)
• Avoid Affixes that double-punish grouped enemy damage until Tree defenses catch up
• Practice dash timing in trash before Bosses
• Compare alternatives on the Race Advisor if Nespin feels awkward

Common failures

Problem	Fix
Cannot find statue	Hug Soul Tree / gate cave; look for bat statue
No Blood Citadel	Re-roll runs; target blood biome variant
Masses too slow	Focus Blood Mages; lower Affixes; bring a party
Unlocked but not Nespin	Make a new slot; unlock is account option, not auto-swap
Dying on farm	Revisit parry basics and Soul Tree spends
