How to Entomb at 100%
Official patch 0.21.321 confirms the 100% threshold, a fresh spawn of the same species, retained mutations and enhanced benefits. Entomb ends your current animal; you must grow again.
- At 100%, find cover, hold H to sleep, then open TAB → Mutations → Entomb (default controls).
- Read the confirmation and choose to continue/replicate to preserve the chain. Prime grants the fourth slot; Frail can still Entomb with fewer choices.
Which mutations carry over?
Previous choices move into the small retained slots; the new life unlocks its large selection slots through progression. Do not reselect a mutation that is still retained. Actual occupancy depends on completed choices, Prime and mutations present when hatching.
From 4 to a maximum of 16 slots
Community-based example: start without nesting inheritance, achieve Prime and fill all four choices each life. Counts are after filling that life's slots, not immediately on respawn.
| Life | Retained slots | Current-life slots | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 · no Entomb yet | 0 | 4 | 4 |
| 2 · after 1 Entomb | 4 | 4 | 8 |
| 3 · after 2 Entombs | 8 | 4 | 12 |
| 4 · after 3 Entombs | 12 | 4 | 16 |
What happens when every slot is full?
The cap is 12 retained slots plus 4 current-life slots. The community Steam guide reports that continuing from life 4 replaces the oldest mutation group with the newest. Reselect a core mutation once it rotates out of the retained pool.
In the example, life 5 replaces the life-1 group, retains lives 2–4 and offers four new choices. The community guide reports that reselection within the chain keeps the enhanced value; check your mutation panel after each Entomb.
Enhancement has limits; death ends the chain
Do not apply one bonus to every mutation. Evrima Quick Guide lists Cellular Regeneration tiers of 15% → 20% → 25% → 25%: another Entomb does not always increase the effect. Check the individual mutation and server settings.
An ordinary death before a successful Entomb loses this chain's progress. Treat the mutation set as part of the surviving lineage, not a permanent account upgrade.
Entomb differs from nesting inheritance
A hatchling does not receive its parents' entire 16-mutation set. Community observations describe nesting inheritance from parents' current large-slot choices, not a copy of the Entomb pool. Individual mutations also have inheritance rules; consult the references and in-game panel.
