Augments are an important way to improve your magic in Clover RPG. They add special effects to your Grimoire, giving your abilities extra benefits such as HP recovery when you hit enemies or reduced cooldowns.
However, you cannot simply equip an augment as soon as you find one. You first need to unlock the secret laboratory and complete a quest that opens your augment slot. The laboratory also contains an NPC who lets you reroll your magic variant.
In this guide, I’ll explain how to find the secret laboratory, solve its randomly generated password puzzle, unlock your augment slot, locate all three quest objectives, and reroll your magic variant.
Clover RPG Augments Guide – How to Unlock Reroll Magic Variants
Augments are special upgrades that you can equip to your Grimoire. Each augment provides an additional effect that changes or improves how your magic works.
For example, the Soul Augment allows you to steal HP when you successfully land a magic attack. Other augments can provide benefits such as cooldown reduction.
How to Get Augments
Augments are rare drops from high-tier chests, including boss chests. These can come from bosses such as the Gravity Boss and other challenging encounters.
Finding an augment is only part of the process, though. You must unlock your augment slot before you can equip one and begin progressing it.
Step 1: Find the Secret Laboratory
Your first objective is to reach the secret laboratory, which is hidden in an area northeast of Ko Village, the starting village.
Follow these steps:
- Travel northeast from Ko Village.
- Continue toward the castle-like structure in the Nexus area.
- Start the raid to activate the password puzzle.
- Look around the building for numbered paintings.
- Record the numbers in the correct order to open the hidden gate.
The password changes whenever a new raid starts, so you cannot rely on a fixed code from another player’s run.
Step 2: Solve the Numbered Painting Puzzle
Inside the castle, you will find a locked gate that requires a six-digit password. The numbers you need are hidden on paintings spread across different floors.
How to Find the Password
Search each floor carefully and inspect the paintings. Not every painting contains a number, so keep looking until you find the correct one.
Follow this method:
- Start on the lowest floor and find the painting displaying a number.
- Write down that number as the first digit.
- Move to the next floor and search for another numbered painting.
- Continue upward, recording one number from each floor.
- Collect all six digits in order, from the bottom floor to the top floor.
- Return to the locked gate and enter the complete password.
Important: The code is randomly generated for each raid. The sequence shown during one run will not necessarily work for you.
Once you enter the correct password, the gate opens and you can access the secret laboratory below.
Step 3: Find the Augment and Magic Variant NPCs
Inside the secret laboratory, you will find two important NPCs.
Augment Quest NPC
Speak to the NPC responsible for the augment quest. This character gives you a quest that requires you to locate three hidden objectives around the map.
Completing the quest unlocks your augment slot, allowing you to equip an augment on your Grimoire.
Magic Variant Reroll NPC
The other NPC lets you reroll your magic variant. This changes the cosmetic appearance of your magic, such as its color.
If you want a different visual variant for your magic, you can return to this NPC and use the reroll feature.
Step 4: Find the First Quest Objective Near Ko Village
After accepting the augment quest, travel east from Ko Village.
Follow the route toward the bridge shown on your map. Continue until you reach the first objective, which resembles a glyph or stone marker.
Interact with it to register your progress.
Once the interaction counts toward the quest, you can move on to the second location.
Step 5: Find the Second Quest Objective in the Swamp
The second objective is located farther east, near the swamp area and behind the location described as the Champion’s Refuge.
From the first objective:
- Continue east toward the swamp.
- Follow the route behind the nearby refuge.
- Look for the second glyph-like marker.
- Interact with it and confirm that your quest progress updates.
There is a teleporter nearby if you have already unlocked it. If you have not, follow the route on foot and watch out for areas where flying is restricted.
Step 6: Find the Third Quest Objective at Dukat Village
The final objective is near Dukat Village.
To reach it from Ko Village, head north and continue toward the village. Look around the area next to Dukat Village for the third glyph-like marker.
Interact with the marker to complete the final part of the quest.
Before leaving, check your quest progress to make sure all three objectives have registered.
Step 7: Return to the Secret Laboratory
Once you have interacted with all three objectives, return to the secret laboratory.
You will need to solve the numbered painting puzzle again because the password changes when a new raid starts.
After opening the gate:
- Enter the secret laboratory.
- Speak to the augment quest NPC again.
- Complete the quest turn-in.
- Check your Grimoire to confirm that the augment slot is unlocked.
You can now equip an augment that you have obtained from a suitable chest and begin progressing it.
How to Reroll Your Magic Variant
If your main goal is to change the appearance of your magic, you can use the NPC inside the secret laboratory who handles magic variant rerolls.
Follow these steps:
- Unlock access to the secret laboratory.
- Find the magic variant NPC inside.
- Interact with the NPC to access the reroll feature.
- Use the available reroll option to change your magic variant.
Magic variants are cosmetic changes that affect the appearance of your magic, including its color. They are separate from augments, which provide additional gameplay effects.
Unlocking augments in Clover RPG takes a little preparation, but the process is straightforward once you know where to go. First, find the secret laboratory and solve the numbered painting puzzle. Then complete the three objectives near Ko Village, the swamp, and Dukat Village before returning to the laboratory to unlock your augment slot.
While you are there, you can also visit the magic variant NPC to change the cosmetic appearance of your magic. Once your slot is unlocked, start farming high-tier chests for augments that suit your preferred playstyle.
