Quick answer

Use Mether's Severance with Zhirelle to reset one Shell

Use Mether's Severance with Zhirelle to reset one Shell and get the spent Glimpses back. This first-screen answer covers Mether's Severance, Zhirelle, the one-Shell reset, refunded Glimpses, and Merrick restock limits. The official Week 1 update says Merrick can sell Mether's Severance and it restocks occasionally as you progress, but no exact price or fixed timer was published.

Step by step

Follow the route

  1. 1

    Decide which Shell you want to reset

    The published wording describes severing your bond with a Shell, resetting it, and returning the spent Glimpses. Treat the action as a one-Shell decision, not a whole-roster refund.

  2. 2

    Obtain Mether's Severance

    The official Week 1 update identifies Mether's Severance as the Shell respec item and says Merrick can sell it.

    Tip: The update does not publish a fixed shop price or guarantee every visit will stock it.

  3. 3

    Bring it to Zhirelle

    Return to Zhirelle, identified in the update as the Shell Keeper, and use Mether's Severance there rather than assuming another NPC handles respecs.

  4. 4

    Take the Glimpse refund, then stop and re-evaluate

    Once the bond is severed, the Shell resets and your spent Glimpses return. Pause before reinvesting so you can compare the new route, weapon, or build goal against your current progression state.

    Warning: The current public source confirms the refund behavior, but it does not publish a hidden formula, alternate refund currencies, or a multi-Shell reset.

  5. 5

    Use the Week 1 economy changes together

    The same update also says Glimpses and Tarcores are no longer finite resources in one playthrough. That supports experimentation, but it does not remove the need to choose the next Shell role deliberately.

If progress stalls

Recover without restarting the route

  • • If Merrick is not selling Mether's Severance, progress the campaign and check his stock again later.
  • • If you only need a route reminder, open the Shell or progression guide before spending the refunded Glimpses again.
  • • If a guide claims a fixed shop timer or price, treat that as unverified until an official or reproducible source confirms it.
Decision errors

Check these before committing

  • • Assuming every Shell resets at once
  • • Guessing at a fixed Merrick restock cadence
  • • Spending the refunded Glimpses before choosing a new role
Why this game is different

The mechanic behind the route

Shell respec changes a possession-based progression system rather than a single fixed character tree. Resetting one Shell matters because it reopens your role choice, your weapon pairing, and where the next batch of refunded Glimpses should go.

Common mistakes

What goes wrong and how to fix it

Assuming the guide confirms a universal shop timer

Use only the published statement that Merrick restocks occasionally as you progress.

Treating the refund as a whole-account reset

Plan around one Shell reset unless a stronger source verifies a broader scope.

Ignoring build context after the refund

Open the Build Planner, Shell pages, or progression guide before spending the Glimpses again.
