Bizarre Lineage doesn't explain itself well. Here's everything the tutorial skips, in order.
Your First 10 Minutes in Bizarre Lineage
When you join, you're in The Town. Don't leave it yet. Your first task is getting a Stand — press M to open the menu and find the Spin button. Your starting currency gets you 1–2 free spins.
What you roll doesn't matter much here. Uncommon Stands (Crazy Diamond, Golden Experience) are actually what you want for early game — they're easier to level and their abilities work well on low-level mobs. Don't feel bad if you don't roll anything Legendary. It costs more to re-roll than it's worth at level 1.
First Hour: Leveling to 20
Stick to The Town quests. The NPC vendors here give repeatable kill quests that are the fastest XP source at low levels. Don't wander into the second zone (The City) until you're level 15+ — the mobs hit significantly harder and you'll die more than you farm.
Keybinds to learn immediately:
- Z, X, C, V, B, F — your Stand ability keys
- Q — your fighting style ability
- R — sub-ability activation
- M — menu (quests, inventory, spins, codes)
- H — hide/show your Stand
Sub-Abilities: Don't Sleep On These
Sub-abilities unlock around level 15 and they fundamentally change your build. The four options (Hamon, Cyborg, Vampire, Spin) each pair differently with Stands.
For beginners: Vampire is the safest pick. The lifesteal from basic attacks means you die less while learning, and it pairs decently with almost every Stand. Switch later once you know what Stand you're building around.
When to Prestige
Prestige resets your level back to 1 in exchange for a permanent +5% stat bonus. You can prestige at level 50. The question most beginners ask is whether to go straight to 50 and prestige, or to stay and farm.
The answer: prestige as soon as you hit 50 on your first run. The +5% compounds over multiple prestiges and your leveling speed increases each time because you know the quests. Don't slow down to grind gear at level 50 before your first prestige — the prestige bonus is worth more than anything you'll farm at that point.
Raids: What Are They and Should You Do Them?
Raid portals appear at The Sanctuary and require level 30+. They're 4-player cooperative boss fights that give the best item drops in the game. Don't worry about them until prestige 1 — at base level the gear isn't worth the difficulty. After your first prestige, raids become your main progression path.
Getting Codes
No active codes exist right now (March 2026), but when they drop they'll be on this page and in the Discord first. Each code typically gives free spins or XP boosts — useful at any stage.
