How to Unlock All New Evolution Nodes in Jujutsu Zero

Before you start: finish the earlier Evolution route

Epitome, Paragon, Zenith, and Apotheosis extend the existing Evolution Tree. Complete the connected earlier upgrades before trying to purchase the new nodes; having the materials alone does not bypass their prerequisites.

If you have not started Evolution, the original Evolve quest becomes available at level 1,000. The Vitality, Sorcery, and Offense Trainers supply the materials for the earlier upgrades after that quest. Use the original Evolution Tree guide for that route, then return here for the level-6,000–10,000 expansion.

Shadow God and Light God provide the new quests. Use the map screenshots in the Epitome and Paragon sections to find each quest giver, then work through the level-6,000–10,000 route below.

Epitome: defeat seven Shadow Incarnations at level 6,000

Speak to Shadow God and accept Shadow Incarnations at level 6,000. Defeat seven Shadow Incarnations, then complete the quest to receive 1 Divine Shard and 1 Shadow Weave.

Shadow Weave is Epitome's unique quest material. The quest gives only one of the three Divine Shards needed to buy this node, so keep gathering shards rather than assuming the reward covers the full purchase.

• Node cost: 1 Shadow Weave, 3 Divine Shards, 5 Enhance Scrolls, 5,000 Cursed Crystals, 2,500 Stat Points, and 25,000,000 Yen.
• Bonus: +250% Attack, +125 flat Attack, and +30% Critical Rate.

Paragon: collect Divine Flame at level 7,000

Speak to Light God and accept Divine Flame at level 7,000. This is a collection quest: collect the Divine Flame and complete the quest to receive 1 Divine Shard and 1 Divine Flame.

Use the Divine Flame as Paragon's unique material. Paragon increases health and movement resources rather than directly adding Attack.

• Node cost: 1 Divine Flame, 3 Divine Shards, 5 Enhance Scrolls, 5,000 Cursed Crystals, 2,500 Stat Points, and 25,000,000 Yen.
• Bonus: +250% Health, +5 Air Jumps, and +3 Stamina Charges.

Zenith: complete Detachment at level 8,000

Return to Shadow God and accept Detachment at level 8,000. This is a material exchange, not another seven-enemy quest. Prepare every item shown in the live quest dialogue before handing anything in.

Prepare 15,000 Cursed Crystals, 5 Limitless Awakening Shards, 5 Divine Essences, 5 Star Awakening Shards, 5 Blood Awakening Shards, and 10 Domain Fragments. The live quest dialogue shown below confirms the full list, including Blood Awakening Shards, which are missing from some older summaries.

Completing Detachment rewards 1 Divine Shard and 1 Soul Weave. Soul Weave is Zenith's unique upgrade material.

• Node cost: 1 Soul Weave, 3 Divine Shards, 5 Enhance Scrolls, 5,000 Cursed Crystals, 2,500 Stat Points, and 25,000,000 Yen.
• Bonus: +10% Super Critical Damage, +250% Critical Damage, and +15% Cooldown Reduction.
• Detachment plus Zenith costs 20,000 Cursed Crystals: 15,000 for the quest and 5,000 for the node.

Where to farm Awakening Shards and Divine Essence

Farm the raid difficulty you can clear consistently. The transcript lists Limitless, Star, and Blood Awakening Shards at all difficulties of their corresponding raids; it does not supply exact drop rates or prove that every difficulty is equally efficient.

Divine Essence comes from Chimera Crates at the transcript's listed 0.1% chance. These crates come from the Megumi Gamemode Raid, also called the Shadow Sorcerer raid in existing site material. Use the current in-game raid label and reward preview to identify the correct activity.

Reserve five Divine Essences for Detachment instead of spending them on an optional altar encounter first. A 0.1% drop chance does not guarantee a reward after 1,000 crates.

• Limitless Awakening Shards: Awakened Gojo Raid, all difficulties.
• Star Awakening Shards: Yuki Raid, all difficulties.
• Blood Awakening Shards: Choso Raid, all difficulties; Detachment requires 5.
• Divine Essence: Chimera Crates, listed 0.1% per crate.

Domain Fragments, Enhance Scrolls, and Divine Shards

Detachment requires 10 Domain Fragments. The supplied transcript lists the crate chances below. These are chances per crate, not guaranteed payouts; a higher chance alone does not establish the fastest farm unless the crates are equally easy to obtain.

Enhance Scrolls come from Infinite Crates, also called Infinity Crates in the item tooltip. You need 22 to purchase all four new nodes, including every Apotheosis level. The screenshot below displays 10.4% in the crate reward list and 10.7% in the item tooltip, rather than the transcript's 7.4%. Because those figures disagree, no single base drop rate is confirmed here; check your current crate reward preview.

Divine Shards come from the four new material quests and the updated Infinite Raid crate pool. The supplied screenshot displays a 2.6% Divine Shard chance, while the earlier update notes list 2.5%. Treat these as dated source values, not a universal guaranteed rate. The quests give six shards altogether, leaving ten more for the 16-shard node total.

• Daily Crate: 0.7% Domain Fragment chance.
• Valuable Crate: 0.4% Domain Fragment chance.
• Strength Crate I: 0.3% Domain Fragment chance.
• Strength Crate II: 0.3% Domain Fragment chance.
• Vessel Crate: 0.3% Domain Fragment chance.
• Chimera Crate: 0.1% Domain Fragment chance.

Apotheosis: defeat Light God at level 10,000

Unlock Epitome, Paragon, and Zenith first. At level 10,000, speak to Light God and accept Apotheosis. Defeat Light God and complete the quest to receive 3 Divine Shards and 7 Divine Cores.

Apotheosis has seven upgrade levels. The seven quest cores cover the entire node, but the three quest shards do not cover all seven purchases. Each level uses the same cost; the transcript states that it does not increase at later levels.

Each level adds +1.5% Damage Amplification, +1.5% amplification for all Cursed Techniques, and +1.5% amplification for all weapons. At level 7, those listed bonuses total +10.5% each. These are separate listed stats, not a promise of a single combined +31.5% final damage increase.

• Per level: 1 Divine Core, 1 Divine Shard, 1 Enhance Scroll, 2,500 Cursed Crystals, 750 Stat Points, and 7,500,000 Yen.
• All seven levels: 7 Divine Cores, 7 Divine Shards, 7 Enhance Scrolls, 17,500 Cursed Crystals, 5,250 Stat Points, and 52,500,000 Yen.

Total cost to max all four new Evolution nodes

The totals below purchase Epitome, Paragon, Zenith, and all seven Apotheosis levels. They exclude the separate Detachment hand-in, earlier Evolution upgrades, Vow exchanges, and any other spending.

The four material quests award six Divine Shards: one each from Shadow Incarnations, Divine Flame, and Detachment, plus three from Apotheosis. If all six go toward these upgrades, farm ten more to reach the required sixteen.

• 1 Shadow Weave, 1 Divine Flame, 1 Soul Weave, and 7 Divine Cores.
• 16 Divine Shards and 22 Enhance Scrolls.
• 32,500 Cursed Crystals.
• 12,750 Stat Points.
• 127,500,000 Yen.
• With Detachment's 15,000-CC hand-in: budget 47,500 Cursed Crystals in total.

Upgrade Vows through the two Gods' dialogue menus

Shadow God and Light God offer Vow exchanges alongside their quests. These exchanges are separate from Evolution node costs and consume your existing lower-tier Vows.

The supplied Attack Vow VI tooltip shows +250% Attack and -50% Health for 60 minutes. Account for that health penalty when using the damage boost. The exact effects and durations of the other upgraded Vows are not established by these images, so check their live tooltips separately.

• Shadow God, level 6,000: 3 Attack Vow V → 1 Attack Vow VI.
• Shadow God, level 8,000: 3 Sorcery Vow V → 1 Sorcery Vow VI.
• Light God, level 7,000: 3 Defense Vow V → 1 Defense Vow VI.
• Light God, level 10,000: 3 XP Vow ++ → 1 XP Vow +++.

Avoid the mistakes that slow down the grind

Check the next connected node before spending rare materials. Keep quest hand-ins separate from node purchases, and count the remaining material deficit after claiming each quest reward.

For the Cursed Crystal budget, the Evolution + QOL announcement doubles Investigation rewards on every difficulty. Compare completed Investigations and Gamemode Raids for Crystals per minute on your build instead of assuming the hardest raid is automatically best.

• Do not confuse Divine Essence with Divine Shards or Shadow Essence.
• Do not spend Detachment's five Divine Essences on an altar before completing the quest.
• Do not forget the separate 15,000 Cursed Crystal quest hand-in.
• Do not assume seven Divine Cores also means you have enough Divine Shards.
• Do not skip Epitome, Paragon, and Zenith when planning Apotheosis.
• Do not forget Detachment's five Blood Awakening Shards or treat a drop chance as a guaranteed number of crate opens.
