This page of theReturnalguide contains information aboutthe proficiency level of the main protagonist.
We also explainhow to increase the proficiency levelandhow to obtain weapons from higher levels.
Proficiency level
Proficiency level is basically your experience level.
A message on the screen will inform you that you have reached the next level.
In addition, you’ll have aprogress barvisible in the lower left corner of the screen.
Proficiency points(or experience points)needed to advance are obtained primarily by killing enemies.
The stronger the defeated opponent is, the more points we get.
An alternative way to speed up gaining higher proficiency levels is tolook for artifacts - calibrators.
Each offers a one-time bonus to the proficiency bar (“free XP”).
Calibrators come in different varieties and the increase in proficiency points can be small or significant.
Once you unlock the second biome, you’ll notice that Selene always starts the cycle at Level 0.
It can make it very difficult for us to deal with the enemies from the subsequent biomes.
The calibrator for Region 2 (Crimson Wastes) is presented in the attached image.
We don’t have to re-explore the Overgrown Ruins to gain the first proficiency levels.
Weapon proficiency
The proficiency level affects the minimum level of items found in the game.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that all weapons will be at the same level.
We may as well come across weapons from higher levels (5, 6 and more).
We can pick it up again and go back to using it right away.
