The Ultimate Bizarre Lineage Prestige Guide
A practical guide to the reset system: requirements, Arch Mage location, rewards, and the best way to plan your next run after the reset.
Prestige Explained: Why the Reset Matters
Prestige is the long-term progression reset in Bizarre Lineage. Once you reach the level cap, you can trade your current run for permanent rewards that make future leveling faster and your account stronger overall. That is why serious players treat Prestige as part of the main build, not just a late-game bonus.
The current public guides still place the first reset at the top of the leveling loop: reach the cap, bring the cash requirement, and speak to the Arch Mage at the Hospital near Bus Stop 10. After that, your next run is much smoother because the permanent rewards carry forward.
How to Find the Bizarre Lineage Prestige Arch Mage Location
The gateway to the Bizarre Lineage prestige system is hidden in the Hospital.
The Arch Mage is easy to miss on a first run because he is not in the spawn city or the gym. Travel to Bus Stop 10, head for the Hospital building, and go inside the lobby to find the Prestige NPC.
Use the bus system and travel to Stop 10.
Head toward the Hospital building on the map.
Enter the lobby and look for the Arch Mage prompt.
Open the Prestige option, review the reward preview, and confirm the reset.
What You Keep vs. What Resets
A quick way to see what stays with you and what gets reset.
| Character Element | Status | Result Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Stands | keep | Your collection and storage remain available |
| Stand Storage Slots | keep | Any unlocked storage stays with you |
| Inventory Items | keep | Cash, items, and cosmetics remain intact |
| Prestige Rewards | keep | Shards and shop unlocks remain permanent |
| Character Level | reset | Returns to the starting level |
| Stat Points | reset | You reallocate your build after the reset |
| Quest Progress | reset | Story progress and quest flags restart |
| Build Path | reset | You re-plan your early leveling route after the reset |
Important Note on Stands
You should not lose your Stand collection when you Prestige. That is the main reason the reset is worth doing: your next run starts with a much stronger account than your first one.
Fighting Styles Warning
Re-check style and sub-ability behavior after each update. Older guides and newer patches do not always describe the same reset rules, so it is safer to verify the current in-game prompt before you assume anything is wiped.

Prestige Guide Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers to the questions players ask before they reset.
What do I need for my first Prestige reset?
Current public guides describe the first Prestige reset as a Level 50 milestone plus the cash fee shown in-game, with $10,000 still being the most commonly referenced amount. Always check the Arch Mage prompt because later patch notes can adjust the exact fee or unlock text.
Where is the Arch Mage location in Bizarre Lineage?
The Arch Mage is inside the Hospital near Bus Stop 10. Take the bus there, head toward the medical building, and look for the NPC with the Prestige prompt in the lobby.
What do you keep after prestiging in Bizarre Lineage?
You keep your Stands, inventory, cash, cosmetics, Stand Storage, and Prestige rewards. The reset mainly affects your level and stat progression, which is why Prestige is a net gain instead of a full wipe.
What are the rewards for Prestige in Bizarre Lineage?
The commonly listed rewards are 5 Prestige Shards, 1 Legendary Chest, 1 Stand Storage slot, 1 Stand Arrow, and $500 cash, plus access to the Prestige Shop.
Is the Bloodlust Perk worth it in Bizarre Lineage?
Bloodlust is a high-risk, high-reward perk. It trades survivability for aggressive damage, so it is best for experienced players who already know how to win trades without getting clipped.
How many times can you Prestige in Bizarre Lineage?
You can Prestige multiple times as long as you meet the current reset conditions again. Each loop makes the next leveling cycle more efficient because you keep the permanent rewards you've already earned.
What should I do after Prestige?
Rebuild your leveling route first, then reclaim your preferred Stand and farm XP with your new storage and reward bonuses. If you like to optimize, pair this guide with the leveling and awakening pages right after the reset.
