What Are S-Rank Arcs in NTE?

Arcs are equippable weapons that increase a character's stats and activate unique combat effects. Among these, S-Rank Arcs provide the most powerful bonuses in the game. Although a lot of S-Rank Arcs can only be obtained via gacha, 14 of them are completely free of charge if one uses Anomaly Commissions, story content, and city activities. Most these are tied to a particular boss fight or milestone, making them completely repeatable for effort, rather than currency.

Raging Flames

(Hathor's signature) originates from the ride assault mission in Bridge Crossings. Adjust the game's time to a little after midnight, find a car (motorcycles won't trigger it), and drive to the tunnel where the Headless Rider will appear. Chase him to the fight, kill the boss, and then collect the item at his death spot.

(Esper Zero's signature) requires a multi-step hidden quest following the Eclipse NPC across several locations. Here are the exact steps:

  • Teleport to the Bureau of Anomaly Control and look to the right for the Eclipse NPC. She only appears between 8 AM and 12 PM in sunny weather — adjust the in-game clock and weather settings if needed. Talk to her until her dialogue repeats.

Tips for Farming Free S-Rank Arcs

  • Unlock the Wertheimer Tower early to reveal the full map and simplify navigation to boss locations.
  • Reach Tycoon Level 6 to unlock the boss tracker feature, which pinpoints exact boss locations with one click.
  • Always bring a car for Anomaly Commissions tied to vehicle travel, since motorcycles won't trigger certain boss spawns.
  • Save Hethereau's Keeper for later once your build is strong enough to survive the Level 99 Justice Executioner.
  • Double-check time and weather conditions before attempting Day Off, since its questline is time-gated to sunny mornings.

Conclusion

Collecting all 14 free S-Rank Arcs in Neverness to Everness takes patience, but every one is obtainable without spending currency, and prioritizing the Anomaly Commission Arcs early since they're the most accessible, then working toward City Tycoon and event-based rewards as your account progresses, while tackling Hethereau's Keeper last since it demands the most preparation, is the most efficient way to round out the full collection.
