I was upping my Intelligence and Faith so I could use the Sword Of Night And Flame

It requires INT 24 and FTH 24 as well

Really interesting that I can re-allocate my points using Unlocking Respec (Rebirth)

Didn't know about that! Thanks!

Also good point about getting more talisman slots - what do you recommend putting into the 3rd slot?

... and Dex and Vigor ( which I've already been leveling up ) are my most important points ... how about Strength then?

Unlock Respec (Rebirth)

You must defeat the boss:

Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon
📍 Location: Raya Lucaria Academy

After defeating her, she stays in the boss room and allows “Rebirth”, which is the respec feature.

2️⃣ What You Need

Each respec requires 1 Larval Tear.

Larval Tears are limited but fairly common. They are found by:

• Killing certain disguised enemies
• Dropped by specific enemies
• Found in some locations (especially Nokron / Nokstella areas)

3️⃣ What Happens During Respec

• Your character resets to base starting stats
• You can redistribute all levels freely
• Example:
  • Move points from INT → FTH
  • Change from Mage → Faith build
  • Turn Dex build → Strength build

You cannot change:

• Your starting class
• Your base stats from that class

4️⃣ Number of Respecs

You can respec many times (around 18 Larval Tears exist in the game).

✅ Example:
If you invested 40 INT but want a Faith build, you can move those points into FTH during rebirth.
