Fire Force Reignition Steeled For Death V1

Like the Press of Death Awakening mode, Steeled For Death can be used by both White Clad members and Fire Force members, no matter their Generation. Steeled For Death is the next stage of progression after Press of Death, so make sure you have that first.

How to Unlock Steeled For Death V1

For starters, you need to unlock Press of Death first and fully master it. We’ve covered how to reach 100% mastery in our Fire Force Reignition Press of Death walkthrough! If you do not have Press of Death unlocked, you need to be at least rank 30 and have a DEF and Strength stat of 3.

Once your Press of Death reaches full mastery, it’s time to go and speak with the Noru NPC to start the questline for Steeled For Death.

Noru’s Location

Now, Noru has a chance to spawn in a random location. However, you are alerted of his whereabouts when the text, “You sense a strange presence“, appears on your screen. This means Noru is nearby!

Steeled For Death V1 Requirements

After speaking with Noru, you’ll find out whether you meet the requirements or not. If you do, you earn your Steeled Mark! The colour of the Steeled Mark changes to red as you progress through.

  • Reach at least rank 50
  • Reach full mastery of Press of Death
  • Obtain a certain number of Grips

How to Complete the Quest for Steeled For Death V1

You gain access to the quest when you meet the requirements! For this quest, you must:

  • Defeat 15 or more high-level players (make sure you have your Steeled Mark)
  • Use Press of Death for 15 minutes with the Steeled Mark on
  • Keep the Steeled Mark on for a total of 60 minutes
  • When your HP is low, activate Press of Death (you must do this 4 times)

Like with the Press of Death progression, you can visit the Rickly NPC to keep track of your progress with the quest. Upon completion, your Press of Death is replaced by Steeled For Death V1!
