There are several ways to boost your character's power in Bizarre Lineage. And, the Dark Determination Edict is one such method. The Edict gives temporary buffs to your character and will also apply debuffs after the buff's duration ends. It is an end-game content, so obtaining it will require completing several tough tasks. This article provides a complete guide on obtaining the Bizarre Lineage Dark Determination.

  3. Turn around and walk straight southeast until you reach an area with a wooden lamppost.
  4. You will see the Determination NPC on the left side.

For PvP quests, you can ask your friends or other fellow players to cooperate. This way, you can finish the quests comfortably. If not, then equip yourself with the best build and be ready to make the world your enemy to obtain the Dark Determination Edict. Moreover, you don't have to complete the quests in the order given in the table. Just complete all of them in whichever order you desire.

Note that you must Prestige twice to obtain the Dark Determination. Once, to obtain the Bloodlust Perk, and the second time after completing all the quests. The only way to farm Prestige Shards is by upgrading your Prestige rank. The process requires reaching level 50 and paying $10,000 to the Arch Mage NPC, located near bus stop 10.

Note that upgrading Prestige rank resets in-game levels, stats, sub-ability, main story progression, and fighting style.

Dark Determination Upgrade Tiers and Bonuses

After obtaining the Dark Determination, you can equip it to the inventory hotbar. You can press on it when your health drops below 60%. Upon activation, all of your stats will receive a 15-second buff. After the buff ends, all of your stats will be debuffed for ten seconds. However, you can upgrade the Edict to max level and be free of its disadvantages.

You can upgrade Dark Determination from the Arch Mage NPC. He is inside the TG building, near the bus stop 10. Interact with the Arch Mage NPC > open the Prestige Shop > switch to Edicts, to upgrade Dark Determination. Each upgrade costs 4 Prestige Shards.
