|---|---|
| 1 ➔ 3 | Chroma Catalyst x3 |
Chroma Catalyst can be used to upgrade your weapons until Level 3. A total of 3x Chroma Catalyst is required to upgrade a weapon to Level 3. Keep in mind that you'll have to unlock the Curator in the camp first before you can start upgrading your weapons!
Defeat the Curator to Unlock Him in the Camp
You can unlock the Curator in your camp after defeating him in The Manor during his last training session with Maelle. Additionally, you'll have to complete the Flying Waters quest then set up a camp in the overworld map, as prematurely going to camp before finishing the story in Flying Waters won't unlock the Curator.
Interact With an Expedition Flag After Act 2
After Act 2, you can interact with an Expedition Flag to upgrade your weapons.
