Unlock the secrets of The Nexus Core in Dreams of Aether. This comprehensive walkthrough guides you through every step, from understanding Aether properties to mastering Encoding techniques and utilizing Aether Crystals.
Walkthrough
- 1Understanding Dream Aether: Dream Aether is the cleanest primordial energy, undetectable and without waste. It's absorbed from the atmosphere and stored by the Oracle Bracelet. Direct absorption is dangerous as it contains the memories of the dead. The more people and spiritually evolved creatures in one place, the more Aether is generated, creating a virtuous cycle of evolution.
- 2Properties of Dream Aether: Aether is attracted to itself, spins inward centrifugally, and is replenished instantly when absorbed from the atmosphere. According to 'Novice Aether Manipulation,' Aether is the primordial energy of the universe, infinite in origin. Its density increases entropy and can lead to Big Bangs. It renews itself, is drawn to existing Aether (especially around powerful beings), and is attracted to brain activity, thoughts, and dreams, hence 'Dream Aether.'
- 3Encoding Dream Aether: Encoding is the process by which the Oracle Bracelet transforms Dream Aether into usable energy to enhance attributes like Strength, Agility, Constitution, Vitality, Intelligence, and Perception. The cost to encode varies by volume; larger volumes are more expensive. Each body has an Aether capacity limit.
- 4Encoding Grades: There are different grades of Encoding. Grade 1 is like a gas, Grade 2 like a liquid, and Grade 3 like a solid. Each grade allows the body to hold more Aether and include more functions. The Oracle offers 7 Grade 1 primary Encodings for free, but higher grades and additional functions cost credits from the Oracle Store (e.g., Grade 2 Strength Encoding costs 1,000 credits).
- 5Aether Crystal: Aether Crystals serve as currency within the game.
Tips
- Be cautious when directly absorbing uncompressed Aether, as it contains the memories and experiences of the deceased.
- Understand that the presence of powerful beings and intellectual life forms naturally increases Aether density.
- The cost of Encoding increases significantly with volume. Optimize your Aether usage to avoid unnecessary expenses.
- Higher grades of Encoding allow for greater Aether capacity and more advanced abilities, but come at a significant cost.
- Aether Crystals are essential for purchasing items and upgrades from the Oracle Store.
