NARAKA: BLADEPOINT

Hero cultivation is basically leveling up the characters to improve their abilities. To access it, go to the Heroes tab from the main menu, select any character and press
There are 6 cultivation tiers:
1) Step into the realm
2) Greater understanding
3) Eminent being
4) Mortal legend
5) Ying Yang Mastery
6) Deific Presence
Each cultivation tier has a set of 3 quests, once you complete them all, claim them in the Hero Cultivation tab and you will advance to the next tier. The quests can be checked at any time during a match by pressing the pause button and looking at the bottom right corner of the screen while on the "quests" tab. At first they are pretty similar across all characters and are fairly easy, but as you advance through the tiers they get harder and more grindy.
These are all the quests and some tips:
Tier 1 - Step into the realm
Quest 1: Use your character ability once
Quest 2: Use your ultimate ability once
Quest 3: Play as your character 3 times in The Survival modes
Important note: in this tier, the 3 quests are all the same across the entire roster

Tip: you can farm this easily in bot matches

Quest 1: Hit 3 enemies with the ultimate Twilight Crimson as the summoning ends.
Tip: activate your ability at a distance, then come closer to the enemies and the final action of the attack will hit them.
Quest 2: Defeat 10 enemies with Swarm.
Tip: Swarms are a very rare spawn, they can be mostly found on Morus' Blessing chests, which are the ones that spawn for limited time when the shadow spreads further inside the map, they are marked as a golden circle in the map. THIS IS THE SAME CASE WITH Flamebringers and Bloodrippers. While they're rare, they are insanely OP, so do your best if you get one, luckily for you, they are free. Don't try getting them on bot matches, as they are much more common in pvp matches. Try raising your character's luck, as that makes legendary spawns less rare, and those special weapons belong to that rarity.

Yoto Hime
Quest 1: Defeat 3 enemies using the Waterwheel in Celestra
Quest 2: Defeat 1 enemy at Bamboo Grove
Quest 3: Defeat 3 enemies with a single Ominous Blade
Tip: do this in solo bot matches, wait for 3 or more bots to fight themselves until they are close to death and then use your ability.
Tip: 30K damage in a single match is actually not that hard with melee weapons, you will want to kill as many enemies as you can tho.
Important note: there are some heroes whose quest I didn't include, I am sorry, this is because I do not know what their quests are as of yet, if you know them and have guides for them please feel free to share them and I'll add them here.
Once you finish all 3 quests from the Deific Presence tier, you will have gained The Chosen One
Fully cultivating a character takes about 3-4 days, depending on how many hours you play the game.

Thought I’d provide an update since a lot of the Cultivation requirements have changed.

Tarka Ji is in my opinion COMFORTABLY the easiest hero to raise to “The Chosen One”. He can be unlocked for 100 Hero Coin. His only two cultivation requirements that were even remotely difficult (30k damage in a match and 3 kills with a single ultimate) have now changed to much more manageable ones (250k total damage and 2 kills with a single ultimate)

While the 250k damage one appears daunting, his final Hero Quest requires you to get top 5 in 10 survival matches so you’ll have to grind out bot matches anyways.

Also, as his ultimate is timed, I believe the requirement is to get 2 kills before it runs out. As soon as I complete his Cultivation I will update this guide.

EDIT: I can confirm that for the “2 kills with a single ult” requirement, you simply have to kill 2 people before the ult runs out (the ultimate does some damage when activated so I wasn’t sure if you had to kill 2 enemies with that damage). I got two bots weak, popped the ult, and killed both of them to achieve the cultivation requirement. Don’t worry if it doesn’t complete right away, the ult has to finish for it to register that you completed it. The cultivation requirement should show as completed as soon as the ult runs out.
