Beyond Nen Warlock Fighting Style Unlock Guide

Warlock is a secret fighting style in Beyond Nen, the Roblox Hunter × Hunter experience on place 6016716328. Unlike starter combat styles you buy early, Warlock is gated behind an NPC quest chain: talk to Ryuji in the Deep Forest, prove you can survive high-level PvP and boss farming, then pay a Jenny fee. This page is the unlock checklist, prep route, and “is it worth it?” read for players who already finished early progression.

Community lists commonly require Level 50, 25 Grip Kills, 3 Frost Fang cores, 5 Charge / 5 Ocean / 5 Ruby crystals, and 35,000 Jenny. Patch notes and Discord pins can shift exact numbers—verify every requirement in the live client (and the official Discord) before you dump a week of farming into outdated totals. Pair this guide with Leveling, Bosses, and Crafting so mats and XP move in parallel instead of as three separate grinds.

Why players chase Warlock

Warlock exists for fighters who want a dedicated combo fighting style rather than only Nen ability pressure. After unlock, the kit is often described with four combat skills—Savage, Beast Combo, Predator Crush, and Domination—plus a distinct idle and M1 look. Full skill access is commonly tied to investing Strength and Stamina (community notes often cite around 50 STR / 30 STA before every skill unlocks). That makes Warlock a mid-game identity choice: you are already past the soft early walls, you care about grip-level PvP, and you want a style that rewards confirm timing over pure button mashing.

If you mainly PvE and rarely grip anyone, Warlock’s Grip Kill gate will feel worse than its combat payoff. If you already live in open-world fights and need a style that launches, extends, and slams, the checklist is usually worth finishing once rather than hopping styles forever. After you equip it, compare value against other loadouts on the Tier List and the practical pairings in Best Builds.

Find Ryuji in Deep Forest

Ryuji sits in the Deep Forest region. From Beginner Village, players typically peel toward the forest, pass farm and climb sections, and follow the upper path until the NPC appears. If you already unlocked a Deep Forest teleport, use it—walking the scenic route only once is enough to learn landmarks. Talk to Ryuji at Level 50+; below that threshold he will not treat you as ready for the secret style turn-in.

Tip: clear inventory clutter and confirm you can see quest or NPC prompts before the climb. Dying on the path with a half-finished crystal stack is a needless setback when the hard part is supposed to be Frost Fang and grips, not navigation.

Full unlock checklist (verify live)

Requirement	Common amount	Notes
Character level	50	Soft gate before Ryuji’s full quest
Grip Kills	25	PvP grips; streak can reset if you get gripped
Frost Fang Boss Cores	3	Farm Frost Fang via roadmap / boss routing
Charge Crystals	5	Gather / exploration / item sources
Ocean Crystals	5	Same—bank all three crystal types
Ruby Crystals	5	Fifteen crystals total in popular lists
Jenny	35,000	Paid to Ryuji at turn-in

Treat the table as the current community consensus, not a forever patch bible. When the client UI disagrees with a guide, the client wins.

Grip Kills without wiping your streak

The Grip Kill requirement is the filter that stops casual collectors. You need twenty-five grips on other players, and multiple writeups warn that being gripped yourself resets the streak, forcing a full restart. Play accordingly:

1. Warm up M1/M2 and parry habits before you “start counting.”
2. Pick favorable servers or hours instead of the most stacked PvP lobby.
3. Finish a target cleanly; do not linger for flashy extras that invite a reverse grip.
4. Avoid random third-party brawls while you are one death from a reset.
5. If you use alt accounts or friends for practice, respect any same-target cooldowns the live build enforces—community chat often mentions short cooldowns when gripping the same player repeatedly.

Grip progress is a discipline test as much as a damage test. A cautious twenty-five beats an aggressive fifteen followed by a humiliating reset.

Frost Fang cores and crystal banking

Frost Fang is the named boss that drops the cores Ryuji wants. Open the in-game roadmap, mark the encounter, and plan repeated clears until you hold three cores. Bring a party when the fight’s telegraphs punish solo greed; wipe recovery costs more Jenny and time than waiting five minutes for competent help. Route notes and drop expectations belong with Bosses so this page stays focused on the Warlock gate rather than a full Frost Fang raid guide.

Crystals—Charge, Ocean, and Ruby—are the inventory tax. Farm them while you travel for other goals so you are not staring at empty bags the day your Grip Kill counter finally hits twenty-five. Crafting and general gathering loops are the natural place to park crystal farming when you need productive downtime between boss attempts.

Bank Jenny continuously through boards, missions, and sells. 35,000 is not endgame money, but it hurts if you blow the wallet on impulse spins the night before turn-in. Redeem Codes when they drop, but do not expect codes alone to cover the fee.

Recommended prep order

1. Push character level with Leveling until 50+ is stable, not a fragile soft-cap scrape.
2. Keep a crystal + Jenny side loop running during travel.
3. Schedule Frost Fang clears until three cores are secure—see Bosses.
4. Only then hard-commit to the 25 Grip Kill streak so a mid-farm death does not also waste a boss night.
5. Return to Ryuji with mats, money, and level already done; finish dialogue and unlock.
6. Equip Warlock from inventory, then invest STR/STA toward the full skill set.
7. Stress-test combos in real fights and compare outcomes with Best Builds and the Tier List.

This order minimizes “I have cores but I got gripped at 24” and “I finished grips but I am broke” failure modes.

After unlock: skills and build pairing

Once Warlock is owned and equipped, learn each skill’s role instead of mashing every key on cooldown. Community kits typically describe:

• Savage — launch / opener pressure that sets aerial follow-ups.
• Beast Combo — mid-string extender that keeps confirms alive.
• Predator Crush — multi-hit into a slam for committed damage.
• Domination — aerial kick continuation that punishes poor recovery.

Exact damage, cooldowns, and block/parry tags change with balance patches—re-check tooltips after every major update. Pair the style with Nen abilities and lineages that cover Warlock’s weaknesses (defense, ranged options, or setup marks) using Best Builds. If your Nen roll is still weak, finish How to Get Nen and farm Spins via Codes before you judge Warlock in a vacuum.

Common mistakes

• Showing up to Ryuji under Level 50 and assuming the NPC is bugged.
• Farming Grip Kills first, then dying to a random and resetting twenty-plus progress.
• Turning in without all three crystal types banked.
• Spending the Jenny fee on something else the same session.
• Equipping Warlock but skipping Strength/Stamina so half the kit stays locked.
• Ignoring Discord/client diffs and following a weeks-old checklist blindly.
