How does rift beast work in mutliplayer? I am confused we are playing together with friend and sometimes his beast shows up, sometimes mine, we can both interact with eggs, beast drops based on which one it is, … Can someone explain how it works? It seems that it is not based on who interacts with the rift and it is not based on who is owner of the session.
I am not 100% on this, but I believe that it either: 1, always spawns the hosts rift beast. Or 2, spawns the rift beast of the player who interacted with the rift to summon it.
But either way, I didnt think that mattered, because when I was partied and we did rift beasts, it gave me the rift beast drops from my evolution regardless of the actual spawned rift beast.
It is strange we seem to have had different experiences with multiplayer rift beasts, so I could be mistaken.
So update after more playing. Beast you figt will be from the person who opens the rift. Rewards are for each player different and are corresponding to their actual lineage. If you go into the rift, beast is from the opening player and revards for each their own and you can both use the eggs to evolve your lineage.
That seems weird, especially both evolving.
The current system is go in, evolve, fight him 2 or 3 times, go in, evolve, etc.
Does that mean that you can simply evolve your rift beast 3 times in a row as long as it’s your friend that’s opening the rifts?
If so, that seems unintended.
It also seems to lead to optimized strategies, like you selecting all the hard modes, really juicing up your beast, but your friend selecting the easy ones because he’s the one opening the rifts.
Which you can then alternate for about the same rewards for each but minimum risk.
I don’t think so we always got evolve rift once per 3 openings Who opens the rift only affected what beast we were fighting. Maybe that was because we were “synced up” when we play tomorrow I will take notice of that and also try to remember if I was in rift before starting. Also portal back after defeating the beast shows only after you evolve and I didn’t try to skip evolve by teleporting back to the player who was back in echo so I will test this.
It took some time until we got first evovle so it may be possible after joining session, the game will delay evolve until both players are ready to and then both can evolve at the same time.

Even if you can’t manipulate it that way, you can still take the safe route and one of you will always choose safer evolutions while the other chooses the best reward ones. Since only the rift beast of who opens is the one you end up fighting and the rewards are each of your own, you can always have safer combats this way while getting better rewards.
