Clover RPG immerses players in an action-packed fantasy world where mastering magic and tuning combat builds is the core loop. Part of what makes character progression both rewarding and tricky is hunting down specialized passives that elevate your spells beyond standard level scaling. Without fine-tuning your loadout, high-tier enemies and late-game encounters can quickly wear down your defenses.
Grimoire Augmentations are among the strongest enhancements available in the game, granting vital bonuses such as ability cooldown reduction and life steal on hit. However, accessing the augmentation mechanic requires navigating a multi-stage secret quest that begins in the Nexus Citadel. This guide breaks down every step to solve the citadel puzzle, discover all hidden glyphs, equip your first augments, and farm top-tier upgrades quickly.
Solving the Nexus Citadel Puzzle
To begin the questline, travel to the Nexus Citadel. Gaining entry to the hidden basement requires deciphering a door code made up of six randomized digits.
- Enter the Nexus Citadel main entrance and begin clearing or bypassing spawned enemies. Defeating Citadel mobs provides bonus loot, but combat is completely optional for opening the door.
- Scour each floor carefully for hanging picture frames displaying numeric digits.
- Write down every number in the exact order you spot them. These numbers are uniquely generated per session, meaning codes borrowed from other players will not work.
- Ascend through the upper chambers, checking all rooms and corners up through the boss chamber until you have gathered all six numbers.
- Return to the locked ground-floor door, input your recorded combination, and proceed into the Nexus Basement.
Completing the Inscribe Pony Glyphs Quest
Inside the Nexus Basement, speak to the NPC known as the Doctor. Note that you may need an active Magic Knight rank to initiate his dialogue. Accepting his assignment triggers the quest Inscribe Pony Glyphs, requiring you to visit three distinct landmarks across the world map.
1. Juka Village
Fast travel or run toward Juka Village. Search the outskirts just outside the settlement perimeter to spot the first ancient carving. Interact with the inscription directly until the game confirms the milestone before leaving the area.
2. Akama Village Outskirts
Next, head toward the territory surrounding Akama Village. Scout the immediate perimeter until you spot the second glyph structure. Approach and interact with it to secure the second objective credit.
3. The Eastern Swamp
The final inscription lies in the eastern swamp sector. Make your way across the marshland toward the far eastern edge. Once you identify the glyph monument tucked away in the wetlands, interact with it to complete the final requirement.
With all three inscriptions registered, return to the Nexus Basement and talk to the Doctor once more. Completing your report permanently unlocks the Grimoire Augmentation system on your profile.
How to Equip and Manage Augments
Activating your new bonuses takes only a few quick menu inputs once the feature is active:
- Open the primary character menu and navigate to the Abilities screen.
- Select the Augments tab.
- Highlight an unlocked augment from your inventory and confirm to slot it.
Select perks that actively complement your combat playstyle. High-frequency spellcasters benefit immensely from cooldown modifiers, whereas frontline magic fighters gain great sustain from life-steal enhancements.
Farming Augments and Grinding Experience Fast
Finishing the introductory quest grants access to the system, but you must farm specific activities to collect a wide variety of augments and open extra slot capacity.
Dungeon Runs and Dagon Encounters
The most consistent way to expand your augment pool is clearing instanced dungeons. Push through to the end of each run and take down the final encounter. Defeating the boss Dagon spawns a reward chest that has a chance to drop Grimoire Augments upon opening. If your character setup possesses high survivability and burst damage, running these dungeons solo provides an efficient loop for farming chests repeatedly.
Spirit Battles for Rapid EXP
To upgrade augment tiers and unlock extra loadout slots, you need steady character progression experience. An effective method for farming augment EXP is re-challenging your Spirit after unlocking your ultimate skill. Replaying and winning the Spirit encounter awards roughly 200 EXP per victory, making repeated boss rematches a reliable way to expand your build capacity without unnecessary downtime.
