If you want to unlock the character Gley in The First Descendant, it can be done within a day. However, you shouldn’t have any other plans for that day.
How do you unlock the character so quickly? On Reddit, the user Dragonfire486 has shared a battle plan for unlocking Gley. He has precisely figured out how to get to the supporter as quickly as possible without spending money.
For this to succeed, you need at least one day where the rest of your life can just wait.
Here you can watch the trailer for The First Descendant:
First, you need another character
What kind of character do you need? Before you can start grinding for Gley, you need the character Sharen. Sharen has the advantage of gaining more and different rewards from scouting missions. This ensures that your grind will be much faster and is also the only way to get pattern 99.
If you play with a friend, they should also play a glass cannon like Bunny, so you can get through the missions as quickly as possible.
What does the plan look like? The plan is quite simple. In hard mode, you play the scouting missions and make yourself invisible as quickly as possible after the start. Take care of each generator and destroy all three without being detected. When the boss appears, defeat him as quickly as possible.
If you get detected, leave the area as quickly as possible and reset the mission.
The important patterns for the mission are, according to the user:
- Pattern 002: Magister Lab, Kingston
- Pattern 012: Sterile Land Kupier Mining
- Pattern 047: Normal Fortress Frozen Valley Scouting Point
- Pattern 099: Hard Mode Mountaintops Recon Scouting Point
After grind comes grind
How long does it take? The user on Reddit says that those who do his method with a friend to finish the missions even faster can complete the grind in just 18 hours.
You can go faster if you only do scouting missions that have a timer of one minute or shorter. If that’s not the case, return to Albion and set the area to private. Then reload the area. Repeat this as often as needed until you have a good mission.
But it doesn’t stop after the patterns. You still need to open them. To do this, you need to complete the missions on the same map where you also got the respective pattern. The correct mission then requires Void Shards, which you also need to grind in hard mode.
Now you just have to hope that you get lucky and receive the right rewards to quickly obtain your new character. You can also spread the grind sessions over several days if 18 hours of grinding in one day is too much for you.
